Some of you'ns have been saying you don't like the bags on the '09 Voyager and other things. Well, which one of these are better? Huh?

I gotta go with the Voyager. Looks like they fit more gear too!

Not enough choices and considering we don't know what the price of the yoyager is...

I think we are biased here. Like askin republicans to vote for Obama.

I like the silver

**scion0** · 09-27-2008, 11:17 PM

I like the overall look but not too crazy about the retro dash....

Netnorske · 09-27-2008, 11:39 PM

That seat looks like a much more comfy improvement.

formikec · 09-27-2008, 11:45 PM

The thing I am not sure about is the stationary fairing.

rksaw · 09-28-2008, 01:41 AM

That's what I mentioned in a previous thread...I think that's my major reservation about it.

bosko · 09-28-2008, 04:14 AM

She is a beauty. Still not sold on those bags, something about the big lids. I also like the gas tank on the 1600 more. Tail light is cool, more modern. I'm keeping my 08.

She's got junk in the trunk though.

paul · 09-28-2008, 04:15 AM

Its the Voyager, hands down. But I still like the old bags better! Hey, I'm picky.

+1 with Paul. The price will tell the real story.
