Saw a Vaquero for the first time

[glwilson]

I have not seen the red one; but did see the black one the other day.

I would like to see more chrome on it also. I am not sure I like the fairing shape either. Just not sure about the look of it.

It seems lately several bikes are coming out with the blackened-look. I think that look is good on an old bobber or something similar; but for a new bike... I still like some shine on it!

I still think Kawa has something with this bike though. It has a lot of features people want, and they were able to keep the price in an affordable range for those that do not ride two-up and do not need the extra luggage.

Jared, do you know if the bag mounts are compatible between Vaquero and Voyager?[/quote]

I doubt the voyager mounts would hold the vaquero bag, but id imagine the vaquero mounts would fit the voyager just fine. The struts are the same.

Not to sure though.

I looked at one today as well. I agree with those who said the Voyager is a better bargain. I like the way the Vaquero looks but it wouldn't work for me, I wouldn't very popular with my wife/daughter/son who would have to endure the passenger seat. I would like to see the blacked out look on the Voyager.
