I have both here...Nomad is mine, Voyager is my son's. The Voyager is only marginally heavier on paper, less so in real life. It's mostly in your head because you'll think the fairing and its...

Why would they invest R&D dollars on a dying segment? The Nomad and Classic were axed because they weren't selling, not because they were obsolete tech. A proper cruiser shouldn't need bluetooth and...

Honda? In what? Biggest V-twin they still offer is the 1300cc Fury. Harley and Yamaha are air-cooled (that's a big 'no' from me) and Indians are hella expensive. The Kaws are excellent value and make...

That's exactly why I said to load test it. Eight watch batteries in series will read 12v but won't start a motorcycle. When the plates fail internally they can lose most of their area but if even a...
