Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager

The Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated), produces 75 hp and weighs 393 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager được giới thiệu vào năm 2009 với tư cách là tàu tuần dương chủ lực của Kawasaki, thay thế cho chiếc Vulcan 1600 Nomad. Nó có động cơ đôi song song 1.700ccm với hệ dẫn động trục và đáng chú ý là một trong những tàu tuần dương đầu tiên trong lớp cung cấp kính chắn gió điều chỉnh điện tử và hộp số sáu cấp. Biến thể Voyager ABS xuất hiện ngay sau đó, bổ sung thêm hệ thống chống bó cứng phanh và tiếp tục củng cố danh tiếng của nó như một cỗ máy du lịch đường dài cao cấp cạnh tranh trực tiếp với Honda Gold Wing và Yamaha Royal Star Venture.

Những điều người mua nên biết

🔧

Watch the Final Drive

The shaft drive system is generally low-maintenance, but some owners report shaft drive lash developing over time — inspect for clunking during acceleration before buying used.

🎵

Built-In Audio System

The Voyager comes factory-equipped with an AM/FM/CD audio system and integrated GPS mount, making it one of the most touring-ready bikes out of the box without expensive add-ons.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Vulcan 1700 Voyager holds its value reasonably well compared to competitors, largely due to its robust 1700cc engine and full-dresser features that appeal to long-distance touring buyers.

Two-up tourers wanting reliability over brand prestige

"Underrated touring cruiser that punishes brand snobbery with excellent value."

$7,500-$13,500 used

The Vulcan 1700 Voyager is Kawasaki's serious answer to the touring cruiser segment, and used examples offer genuinely impressive value if you know what you're buying. That 1700cc parallel-twin punches hard with real low-end torque, and the full fairing actually works — you'll arrive at destinations without feeling like you've been in a wind tunnel for six hours. The adjustable windscreen is a legitimate feature, not marketing fluff. Before buying, pull the infotainment panel and check for cracked mounting tabs — a known weak point on earlier models. Inspect the final drive shaft output seal religiously; leaks happen and dealers charge aggressively for the fix. The suspension is competent but not sophisticated, so press hard on the forks and rear shock looking for leaking seals on anything over 30,000 miles. Tire wear on the rear can be aggressive given the weight. Overall it's a genuinely capable tourer that gets overlooked because it doesn't wear a Harley badge. That's your advantage as a buyer.
