Motorcycle Maniac: 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS

2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS: Packing In The Power
Kawasaki is not a brand normally associated with cruisers. The
Japanese manufacturer has a reputation for producing
top-of-the-line dirt bikes, but its cruisers are nothing to scoff
at. In fact, the 2014 Kawasaki
Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS is a solid option for riders who want a
more affordable bike they can use on their next journey.
A Powerful Engine

Extreme power is on the menu with the
Voyager, largely thanks to a four-stroke, liquid-cooled, V-Twin
engine. It's got a displacement of 1,700 cc and accomplishes an
astounding 108 foot-pounds of torque at just 2,750 rpm. That is
more than enough for any touring cruiser,
but the output is only enhanced with the help of a six-speed
transmission with overdrive. Whether you need to pass other
motorists on the roads, make your way up steep hills or deal with
any other types of challenges, the motor is ready and able to help
you out.
Refreshed Design

The 2014 edition of the Kawasaki Vulcan
1700 Voyager ABS offers a smaller, more compact design than in the
past. The distance between the seat and the steering head has been
reduced to offer easier handling, and the setup of the bike was
revamped to keep the weight down. By focusing on ergonomics,
Kawasaki improved the handling at lower speeds, ensuring that you
can achieve top-notch performance at every point in your journey.
While cornering may not be ideal on the bike, it is a great option
for long stretches of highway.
All of the power put out by the motor requires brakes strong enough
to bring the machine to a halt. Those are already installed on the
2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS. As the name implies, the
bike boasts ABS braking, complete with disc brakes with four-piston
calipers in the front and two-pistons in the rear.
Final Thoughts - Ideal For Long Trips

Any touring motorcycle needs to be
comfortable enough for riders to want to spend hours on the back of
a bike. Frame-mounted fairings provide additional protection from
the wind, while a classic retro dashboard lays out all of the
controls in an intuitive way. Extra features like cruise control, a
lockable trunk and top-opening cases provide plenty of additional
amenities riders will enjoy.
The 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS has accomplished a rare
feat: It combined the style and sophistication of a classic
American cruiser with a below-average price, all without
sacrificing power or comfort.
