2015 Voyager
After a year of trying, I just have to admit this bike is just too damn big and heavy for me and my advancing old age. So before I hurt myself I've decided to downgrade. It looks great and rides great and it is indeed a great tourer but just not for me. And this is hard for me to admit as I waited almost 5 years for one. Anyway, mine of course is black/gray with ABS, 9,200 miles, fairly new Commander II's, rear speaker kit, iPod connection, Kuryakyn ISO Grips, 12" Rifle Shield (stock included too) and of course Ivan's enhanced ECU flash. I am also open to a trade for someone who may be looking for some more storage (i.e. Vaquero, Nomad or LT). Price is $12,000. Pictures upon request. Any questions just PM me here. Thanks.

Believe me it breaks my heart but I'm not kidding when I say "before I hurt myself". I can handle it well enough on the road, and it has everything I've always wanted on a bike, but on/off and pushing it around when needed is just a chore and its only a matter of time before I throw my back out or worse.. Hopefully I'll stay in the Kawi family but I just wish they had something between a 900 and 1700. Anyway thanks for your help. Bob

I went from a Voyager to a 1300 V Star and could not be happier.
Almost 200 lbs lighter, 50 plus mpg, windshield, bags, comfy seat, lots of room between you and the passenger. It feels like a bicycle after the Voyager. And Ivan does the reflash for it ! |

That's exactly what I'm thinking of. Do you have the Tourer or Deluxe?

Mine is a 2008.
The Deluxe has larger hardbags, a batwing and a GPS. If I were buying a brand new one I would go for the Deluxe rather than the Touring model for the 3 reasons above, not that there is anything wrong with the Tourer. Depends what is important to you.

Trike it!
ErilFlynn...Have you considered investing a few moredollars and triking your Voyager? Mine is and I love it! Mine is a 2013 Voyager with a Motortrike kit but there are others. Just be sure to get one with independent suspension and a reverse.

Not ready for a trike yet and I only have room for one bike in the shed. I imagine it would make a great one, though.

The bike looks even better now as these pics were taken before I added the ISO grips, rear speaker kit and Rifle shield.
