2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS

Cruiser Style with Complete Touring Credentials While any motorcycle can be ridden long distances if the rider is determined, only a special few truly deserve to be called a touring cruiser. The Vulcan 1700 Voyager is one of those rare machines. The Voyager delivers the muscular performance youd expect from a torquey 1,700 cc V-twin powerplant and combines it with the classic styling discriminating cruiser riders demand. Mix in Kawasakis engineering expertise and reputation for dependability, and youve got a motorcycle that will carry you reliably coast-to-coast and back again.

Engine and Drivetrain:

• 1,700cc V-Twin Engine: Liquid-cooled, 52-degree V-twin featuring digital fuel injection and single overhead cams.
• Six-Speed Transmission: Includes an overdrive fifth and sixth gear designed to lower engine RPM at highway cruising speeds.
• Electronic Throttle Valve: Uses an Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) for crisp response and precise air/fuel metering.
• Belt Drive: Clean, low-maintenance final belt drive system.

Braking and Safety

• K-ACT II ABS: Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology assists in balanced braking by distributing pressure to both discs when either the front lever or rear pedal is engaged.
• Speed-Sensitive Operation: The coactive braking link disengages at speeds below 12 mph for better control in tight U-turns and parking lots, while ABS functional support cuts out under 4 mph.
• Stopping Hardware: Dual 300 mm front discs with four-piston calipers and a robust rear disc setup.

Touring Comfort and Electronics:

• Electronic Cruise Control: Easily operated from the handlebar to reduce rider fatigue on long stretches of highway.
• Frame-Mounted Fairing: Directs wind forces to the frame rather than the handlebars, reducing steering feedback.
• Audio System: AM/FM/WB radio equipped with auxiliary compatibility for external music players or devices.
• Adjustable Rear Air Shocks: Rear suspension utilizes air-adjustable spring preload and rebound damping adjustability.

Storage and Design

• Integrated Luggage: Features lockable, side-opening saddlebags and a large rear trunk capable of holding two full-face helmets.
• Lower Leg Fairings: Adjustable vents on the lower leg cowlings allow the rider to manage airflow depending on weather conditions.
• Comfort Accents: Standard floorboards for both rider and passenger, plus a heel-toe shifter.
