New Voyager

zoom45 · 06-25-2009, 05:21 PM

Just got back from Knoxville, TN. The dealer off I -140 has a new black and blue voyager for $16,700. I just can't get use to those rear bags. :-/

I personally am not all that thrilled about the whole look of the Voyager; however when considering everything you get for the price -- as compared to an Ultra or something similar -- I think it seems to be a pretty good deal overall.

But... I agree... I just can't warm-up to the bags yet. (No offense to those with new Nomads or Voyagers... It may likely be that I'll own one before too long.)

I still have yet to see the new Voyager in person. The two dealers around here have not had one in stock when I've been in their showrooms. One of them did have a new Nomad in the last time I stopped by, and the bags on those would definitely take some getting used to by me.

Same here PC. Have only seen the new Nomads. A lot to like except the bags. I'll withold judgement until I (eventually) see the Voyager.

I finally got to see and sit on a new Nomad. I thought it looked great. I could get used to the bags probably pretty quick. It was definitely easier to stand the bike up off the side stand. I wish I could have taken it for a test ride.

I'm still waiting to see a Voyager.

Course, I won't be buying a new bike for a long time, but it's nice to dream!

I don't like the look of the Voyager enough to say i would get one if I ever move up to the full touring class. I think if I go that big I'll wait until I'm 60 and buy a Wing.

I'll wait until I'm 60 and buy a Wing.

Is that a requirement? Dang.

Will I get in trouble for riding my Nomad?

Just saw a black and blue Voyager today at Vicksburg Cycles. They also had a Red and Titanium Nomad. I look both. The Nomad looked a little more compact than mine but the Voyager looked nice and will probably be my next. It looked and felt a good bit bigger than my Nomad. Just don't think I could get used to a Wing. That flat six sounds like a weedeater and I love the sound of a V-Twin. The Wing also has way too many bells and whistles and way too much plastic. Doesn't really even look like a motorcycle to me. Looks like some sort of spaceship.

jamiep24 · 06-25-2009, 09:33 PM

The blue and black Voyager just came in today so it didn't have a price tag on it but the red and titanium Nomad had a $13,999 price on it.

strobe · 06-25-2009, 09:39 PM

Dealer here has sold one and has 4 in stock, titanium and the blue, two of each color, no idea how he got so many, but has three on the floor right now. I actually like the look of the voyager much better in person than pictures. I am not sure it would be my next bike, but it does look nice, and all the controls at your finger tips is great.

dogdoc · 06-25-2009, 09:40 PM

Voyager not for me too much pastic on that bike too and too pricey for what you get.

oldbikers · 06-25-2009, 09:43 PM

Jamie I used to say the same thing about the Goldwing until I owned one, don't get me wrong I love my Nomad but it will never be in the same class with a Goldwing after you ride one for a few miles you forget that it doesn't look or sound like a motorcycle you just know how well it rides and how powerfully that 6 is. If they could lower the wing where my little short legs could reach the ground I would own another one for long trips and keep the Nomad for just riding around

tazfl · 06-25-2009, 09:46 PM

A good friend of mine just bought a voyager two weeks ago. It's a very nice bike, I really like it. he got the Blue / Black one. Although I don't care for the new bags on the Nomad they look much better on the voyager, I believe it has to do with the trunk being over them, it makes everything seem to blend in better in my opinion. I would definitly buy a Voyager.

The dealer I go to has two Voyagers and both are sold. He said each dealer is allowed one and if they don't want it they can have it shipped to any dealer that askes for it.

Seems to be more than that arriving at dealers in Canada. I have heard of a lot of them that have multiples. Hard to believe that he could get 5 that way, buy who knows....
