KAWASAKIVN1700 Voyager 2008 - 2009

　　In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager, a touring motorcycle designed for riders who liked to set their navigation system beyond the horizon line.

　　The Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager was part of the Vulcan range that debuted in 1985, comprising models with different engine displacements and appearances. In addition, the Vulcan 1700 model was available in Voyager, Classic, Classic LT, Nomad, and Vaquero versions.

　　The 2008 Voyager was a really comfortable machine, packing standard features, such as a larger front cowl with a large round headlight in the middle and two additional lights on each side, a large windscreen, a one-piece dual comfortable seat, a large top case with a large enough backrest for the passenger, and side-mounted panniers for extra storage.

　　Behind its massive front fairing, the bike had installed a vintage-styled instrument cluster with retro-look analog dials, a multi-functioning LCD screen, and a top-end audio system. The bike was also available with custom accessories that enhanced its overall capabilities.

　　The 2008 Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager had installed at its core a massive 1,700cc four-stroke V-twin Liquid-cooled engine managed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system. As for the power figures, the engine delivered 73 hp at 5,000 rpm and 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.

　　The power was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission with a return function, a wet multi-plate clutch, and a low-maintenance final belt drive.
