Hurt. They dropped the Classic 1700 and the values plummeted. They dropped the Nomad 1700 and the values plummeted. Heck, new Voyagers hae been selling for 25% off MSRP.

I guess that sucks for those that are going to be selling in the future. I will keep mine until I retire from riding and then sell for whatever it's worth and be happy for all the years I had with it.

I went to the Motorcycle show in Minneapolis yesterday, and although Kawasaki only offers 1 color in the Vaquero and Voyager, the colors they chose sure do look nice. Pictures do not do justice to how nice they are in person. Very sweet looking rides.

I was at the show on Friday. I was already planning on buying a 2018 Vaquero and after seeing the colors in person I want it even more than before.

I did not talk to any Kawasaki reps at their booth. Most everyone was centered around the new supercharged Ninja and new 900 models. the Vaquero and Voyager were kinda lost to the back of their area. The 2018 Vaquero is Black and the Voyager is red/gray.

I was able to sign up for a $500 rebate at the booth. My dad is a Kawasaki dealer so we only talked to his district manager.

Hello guys..I will be taking delivery of an 18 Voyager on Saturday. Seems like a good deal at $15,100. Out the door with Virginia taxes and a tag is $15840. I have had many bikes over the last 20 years including a couple Touring, 08 Wing and 07 Electra Glide. My last bike was a 2009 Concours I had for a long time. I have always like the looks of the Voyager and hope it delivers to be a great bike.

Congratulations! Eastern or western end of VA? (I was born in Christiansburg).

Ride safe,

Congrats on the new skoot. First thing you want to do is to check out Ivan's website.

www.ivansperformanceproducts.com

The reflash will tame some issues and wake up the potential of what should be. Do a search on the form and you will get a sense of the good it does.

Ride safe

Thanks guys. 300 mile ride home and it was great. The suspension ride is better than I was expecting. Gonna get it broken in and probably have ECU flashed.
