well Mike told me he had a 2011 1700 voyger with 6212 miles for $13,900.00. my second gen has 71120 miles on it and I've had it for two years and not sure of the maintenance records. having said that this kaw is a one owner and only one year old. I'm not familiar with the Vulcan-voyger 1700 cc but know there 1600,1500,900 are pretty much bullet proof.has anyone here have any knowledge of this bike? i know it doesn't have a CB or a tape deck but it seems to be a fairly nice ride.

A friend of mine has a 1996 Kaw 800 Vulcan. Does anybody know what size CT his bike would use?

Saw a Kaw today. A 1969 120 with chrome fenders and red and white I think. Been in basement for years. Lot of surface rust on chrome but think it would clean. Tank is crap but it is getting enough fuel thru it to fire. Tries but won't run. Be a good project. What is it worth???

Lets say you had the cash to get what ever touring bike you wanted what would it be, and why? Would it be a HD ultra, a Victory Vision, GL1800, Kaw Voyager, or a RSV. There seems to be alot of Tourers available now days. I'm not ready to buy just yet, but I seem to keep changing my mind on what my goal is. I used to have a 05 RSV, loved it, but thought I had to have a Harley so I bought an 08 HD ultra which I have since sold. I've put a few miles on a GL 1800 (test drives). Put a leg over a Vision on a show room floor, and have yet to see the Kaw Voyager “in person”. Now, personal I can cross the Vision and Kaw off the list because of the looks. The vision looks like a star fish on wheels, and the Kaw looks like a bunch of aftermarket parts tossed together. That leaves RSV, HD and GL1800. I think the RVS looks the best, but then I think of all that power and sport bike handling of the GL1800. The HD I had was ok, but not as roomy as the RSV not to mention the heat from the air cooled V-twin, not so much for me but it would heat up the wifes right leg, but it's a Harley?? Just when I set my goal for the RSV, I change my mind citing the I-basket problem and that damn tape deck. So then I tell myself ok, my next bike will be a gl 1800, but then I look at the prices and not real sure of the seating position and it kind of has that plain look. I put a list of thinks together that are important to me like Water cooled, comfort, power handeling, gages, looks, repair cost, warranty, durability and reverse gear. I graded the HD, RSV and GL on a points system and the RSV came out just a nose in front of the GL. So I’m sure I will not go back to the HD so that leave me still on the fence RSV or GL. What would you do?

I don't know if I missed the thread but our much loved RSV is featured in a touring cruiser shootout in Rider magazine the September issue. I just got it in the mail today. we beat out the kaw, and Victory and tied with the Ultra Classic. This was a battle of the big vees.

At least one has to be a member... They were gassing up in east Louisville on Hurstborne and I-64 then headed east on I-64. An 03 RSV, 07 RSV and a RSMV. Also traveling with 2 Kaw Voyagers. All 5 bikes were pulling trailers and all 5 were from Illinois. Would have loved to stop and chat, but was already running late.

Wildhair, saw one of your posts where mention you have a Kawasaki Voyager. It brought to mind something I have been looking for for a neighbor who has one. He is an average height guy, but short legged. We were talking about lowering devices for the Kaw, similar to the links we use on the RSV & RSTD. He said he had checked around and couldn't find anything, but he's not computer savvy and in fact doesn't own one. He has, for all practical purposes, quit riding because he has to tip-toe the bike at a stop and just isn't comfortable with it anymore like it is. I searched around & couldn't find anything either. Do you know of either a part no., a source or template or something that I might pass along to him. He's a good guy and I know he wants to ride more; like when he first got the V'ger. Any help is appreciated and anyone else here that knows something that might be helpful, by all means, chime in. (other than the ever present advice to replace it with a Venture. May be valid, but not real helpful--in context) Thanks
