If you just don't like it get rid of it.

Life's to short to ride a bike you really don't like.

Greetings,
What is it you do not like regarding the Vaquero?
What is it that you DO like about the Vaquero?

I love mine. 20k miles in 14 months...
Ride safe,
Smokier

I am lucky I guess. I'm the "average" male that bikes are designed to fit. 5'10" @ 170 lbs with 35" sleeves and 31" inseam. Most bikes fit me pretty well. I do have to make adjustments for a skinny butt (new seat) and a weak back (backrest and risers). Other than that it's only "looks" that I have to adjust.

Granted I didn't get the whiter teeth and six pack abs I was hoping for when I bought mine, but I'm still happy with it.

As a guy who grew up in the Appalachians, I guess I should be happy I'm using the plural when it comes to dental references.

Are the Vaquero and the Voyager near enough alike that if I didn't like the Voyager, I won't like the Vaquero? I have considered looking at a the Vaquero, but if it is a twin of the Voyager except for colors and trunk box, I won't bother.

Different bags, seat, lowers and windscreen. Vaquero is lighter, but neither is light. Different color options too. Voyager always had an ABS option, Vaquero hasn't. I think it was 2013 or 2014 before the Vaquero got ABS in the US.

For whatever reason, I found the Vaq a completely different ride than the Voyager (the one time I demoed it). Just was not comfortable on it. To each his own I guess.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my Vaq BUT......

It has a way to keep me off my Hayabusa and EVERY time I get on the Busa, well, lets just say I am blessed to have two totally different skoots with personalities that match my Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.

My Vaquero weighs in at almost 200 pounds more than my old C90. I like the way the Vaquero handles much better. Maybe it's just the ergonomics fit me better.
