Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS


              

              

Worlds First Full Dress Japanese V-Twin Tourer

The Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS takes its place as Kawasaki's flagship touring cruiser. Not only is it equipped with full touring amenities like a large frame mounted front fairing and windscreen, leg shields, ample storage, audio system and six speed transmission with overdrive, but it has high tech features like Kawasaki's first fully electronic throttle valve system with built in cruise control. It is also fitted with an advanced ABS system with Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT) that electronically controls brake force distribution between the front and rear brakes to enhance overall braking performance.

The new Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS is designed for riders who set their sights beyond the horizon.

Features and Benefits


All New V-Twin Engine
The all new 1,700 cm3 liquid cooled, 4-stroke V-Twin long stroke engine based on that of the Vulcan 2000 delivers significant torque and power gains.

Coactive Braking
K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS complements rider active brake control with supplementary brake force enhancement for confident, highly effective braking in all situations.


Convenient Cruise Control 
Open highway cruising becomes even easier on the Voyager with convenient and easy to use cruise control controlled from the right handle.

Fully Loaded Console with Audio
In addition to large automobile style dials, multi function instrumentation ensures the rider is kept fully apprised of riding conditions. The Integrated audio system is even iPod compatible. All controls are easily located at the handles.


Front Cowling and Windscreen
The muscular front cowling and windscreen offers protection from the wind and elements. Mounting the cowling to the frame rather than the handlebars contributes to light handling and minimises the effect of wind buffeting.

Comfortable Seating for Two
The upright riding position, sculpted seat and floorboards offer all day riding comfort. Low seat height and seat shape make it easy to reach the ground. Passenger also gets a sculpted seat with backrest, arm support and floorboards to ensure a comfortable ride.
Large Volume Carrying Capacity
The 50 litre top box is large enough to fit two full face helmets while the hard, lockable panniers each add 38 litres of storage space.

Leg Shields with Air Vents
Leg shields offer additional wind protection. Adjustable vents allow airflow to the legs to be controlled.
