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.

川崎火神 1700 Voyager 于 2009 年作为川崎的旗舰巡洋舰推出,取代了 Vulcan 1600 Nomad。它配备了带轴驱动的1,700cc平行双缸发动机,是同类产品中首批提供电子可调挡风玻璃和六速变速箱的巡洋舰之一。不久之后,Voyager ABS变体问世,增加了防抱死制动器,进一步巩固了其作为直接与本田金翼和雅马哈皇家之星风险投资公司竞争的高端长途旅行车的声誉。

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.

7.8/10
最适合
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.
