KAWASAKI Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki Vulcan was a series of touring or custom motorcycles manufactured by Kawasaki from 1984. The bikes also used the "VN" designation and were powered mainly by V-twin engines with displacements ranging between 125 to 2,053cc.

In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle launched the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS, a touring bike designed for those riders who planned their journeys beyond the horizon line. The bike was available with ABS, which enhanced its handling capabilities and offered a safer riding experience.

In the visual department, the 2014 model packed the same standard features as the previous model, including a sizeable frame-mounted front fairing with a large headlight on the center, two smaller ones on each side, and a large windscreen that offered excellent wind protection.

It offered a comfortable two-piece dual seat with a large top case that could fit two full-face helmets and an integrated passenger backrest for more comfort. On each side, the bike had a large, color-matched pannier for extra storage.

The bike's engine exhaled through a chromed dual exhaust system with a long silencer on each side and rolled on nine-spoke lightweight wheels. In addition, the large touring machine was fitted with top-end electronics to make the riding more comfortable and safer.

As for the power figures, the 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS had its soul brought to life by a 1,700cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 73 hp at 5,000 rpm and 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.
