Just praying for a great reliable ride. I can't wait to pick it up.
I'd say that Garry Van der Eyk's signature is a good measure of the reliability of Kaw's V twins...

Bought my 2010 Voyager last summer in June and have put 22,000 km on it for a total of 31,000 km on it other than replacing stock tires to Commander II [which was a great choice, thanks guys], I've enjoyed every second on it. For a big bike it handles great on the highway and in the corners, hope we all enjoy them for a long time

I bought my 2012 Voyager in march of this year and I too went from a VTX. Let me start by saying you can't compare a VTX to a Voyager. My VTX was just plain fast no other to put it. I miss the power of my VTX but I also like the comfort and distance I can go on the Voyager. I wish the Voyager had the power the VTX had. The sixth gear is awesome on the Voyager. My opinion it's two different class motorcycles.
