Jeff, while watching the video, I noticed that when turning to the right, your right elbow was tucked into your right hip; but when turning to the left, your left elbow was 4" to 6" away from your left hip.

I just bought a 2016 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager with only 13k miles on it. I'm the 4th owner and I absolutely LOVE this bike. My only original complaint is that a former owner put LOUD Vance & Hines mufflers on it. I don't like LOUD! However, yesterday I went by Great Western of Hickory N.C. (Kawasaki dealer) to see what I could do about quieting my bike down. Low and behold, one of the service guys had just bought a Kawasaki Vaquero with stock mufflers on it. He wanted LOUD mufflers and I wanted QUIET mufflers, so we made an even swap! Now he has a LOUD bike and mine is nice and quiet just like I LIKE IT and it didn't cost me a dime! 😊Thanks Cameron!

Thank you for your story and glad you got your bike the way you want it. I guess that the OEM Vaquero should be pretty close to the voyager in terms of loudness but not sure. I don't plan on upgrading my bike as I like the sound it makes with the OEM pipes and tuning. I figure why mess with it. I am not sure about the ivans upgrade which I have heard much about and recommended. My understanding is that the ECU gets a sticker on it when they IVANs tune the bike. might be worth checking. The other way to tell is to ask if they connected the O2 sensor to the muffler. I think they unplug that with an Ivans upgrade. Best of luck with your ride.

@@jeffmurray7448 The Vaquero and the Voyager have the same 1700cc motor so the exhaust is interchangeable. As for the Ivan's ECU Flash, I can let you know more about that after Tuesday!

Sorry, I was out of the country last week, how did it go? I am 6 feet. I have no problems with fit or reach on the bike. I know that the gold wing has more passenger room than the voyager. not sure is that is an issue. The key metrics I think about is 1) seat comfort 2) leg bend (are my legs bent too much) 3) windshield height and helmet shake at high speeds. All of which were resolved after a test drive. I was coming a Moto Guzzi Eldorado which was tighter than I thought in retrospect so the Voyager felt huge in comparison. Let me know how your visit went and what you decided.

I own a 2005 Vulcan Classic 1500 Fuel Injected. It has over 101,000 km (about 63,000 miles) and the only thing this bike has ever cost me was tires (rear every 25,000, front every 50,000), oil changes every 5000 km and a new battery and spark plugs at 85,000 km. The battery was still doing fine but after 12 years I figured it had served me well and when I removed the spark plugs they were still like they were put in 1000 km ago but I replaced them anyway. It even has the original brakes. I am quite satisfied with this bike and will most likely replace it with another Kawasaki when this one fails (if it ever does). I get between 50-55 miles per imperial gallon (5 litres/100 km) depending on how fast I drive it, which is quite impressive for a big displacement V-twin. This bike is very comfortable for the driver but the back seat could be improved a bit. I have put 1300 km in one day more than once and wanted to keep going. For this reason alone, I would probably upgrade to a touring model (Voyager) only to improve the rear seat. The rest of the bike is perfect.

@jeffmurray7448 5 ай бұрын
That is awesome, what a great bike. the reason that the voyage went to the top of my list is because I did own a 1999 Vulcan drifter and it was pretty flawless as well. The testament to a great bike (or car) is that the more you own it the more you like it. (not less) I think these bikes fit that category well.

Very intriguing new toy. The photographic capabilities are exceptional. From a cinematography perspective, the camera should be in landscape rather than portrait mode. Your head movements are accentuated too much in portrait. Kind of like trying to watch a movie through a key hole in a moving car. If you used the mic in the glasses to record your voice, it was very good. Now I have to see if they can be had with prescription lenses.

Thanks Rich, I agree with your assessment. The voice was done after. i will do a recording with voice capture soon.

Might be my motorcycle training that has me looking around all the time.

If they didn’t make the paint jobs so 70-year-old-man-ish, they might sell better. That is the only reason why I ended up going Harley. I’ve been a Japanese bike fella my entire life. But to get a bagger that actually looks and sounds good, there are no other options. Bought my 2021 RGS in Snake Venom with a Stage III 122 used with 5,100 miles for $27k. I’ve been SUPER happy with it. Got more compliments in the year that I’ve owned it than all the rest of my bikes combined over the last 20 years. I’d buy a Gold Wing before a Voyager.

Do you regret selling the Moto Guzzi? Is the weight difference that big from the Kawasaki the new one?
@jeffmurray7448
@jeffmurray7448 7 ай бұрын
I would have to say sometimes. first I don't feel as special on the Kawasaki, it is a proven design and classic looks and I feel confident on it. Sound is great, room for my wife and enough power to get me around but it does not want to be pushed hard. At first the weight difference felt huge! with the tour pack etc. but I think most of that is summed up in the way the weight is carried and the tires size differences. It is not a big deal now. The Motoguzzi was always ready to pull you and envite you to wind it out. Pure blast. The sound was ok but kinda industrial espeically sitting on top of it. It looked amazing and people don't just say "nice bike" they either ask what is that, have a story of their own or take a good long stare at it. So say, it has and always have a special place in my heart. However special comes with a price. 1 hour drive for survice, oil like that they can't sort out, and electronics that are bound to go out at some time. Kawasaki is likely not to have thoes issues ever. Hope that helps and thanks for the question.
