KAWASAKI Vulcan 1700 Voyager (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager was a touring motorcycle part of the Vulcan series in Kawasaki's range. The bike debuted in 2009 alongside the Classic, Classic LT, and Nomad versions and was designed for riders who planned their journeys over the horizon line.

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager, a touring motorcycle that packed for the first time a sizeable frame-mounted front fairing and ample storage.

The 2009 machine had standard features, such as a large front fairing with a large windscreen for better protection, a large headlight with two smaller ones on each side, a tow-piece dual seat, a large top case with an integrated large passenger backrest for more comfort, a dual exhaust system, and side-mounted hard panniers for extra storage.

The bike was built around a double cradle steel frame with a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front, offering 140 mm of travel, and two air-assisted four-way rebound-adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, delivering 78 mm of travel.

The braking performance was handled by two 300 mm discs with dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 300 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.

The 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager had installed a 1,700cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 82 hp at 5,000 rpm and 146 Nm (107 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.
