Features

Side Bags

Capacious side bags are curved on the top and flat on the bottom – a design that lends itself well to the bagger styling.
Keeping in mind that bagger models are often customised, the side bags open to the side and feature minimalist latches in order to offer the largest possible surface, should owners choose to repaint.

Dashboard

Instrument layout and large round dials give the console a sporty automotive appearance. This image is reinforced by red-coloured rings on the dials, amber backlighting on the dials and instrument and audio LCD screens, and by the font used on the instrumentation.

Exhaust

Twin tapered mufflers extend to the end of the side bags, adding to the bike’s long, flowing lines.

Muscular front cowling

Large, muscular front cowling is reminiscent of American sports cars in its sculpted, flowing design. Chromed headlamp cover contributes to the look. Louvre-style fog lamp covers can be replaced with accessory fog lamps.

Smoked screen

Short-style smoked wind deflector contributes to the VN1700 Voyager Custom’s sporty image.

Elegant LED taillight

Elegant LED taillight contributes to appearance in the rear.

ETV (Electronic Throttle Valve) System

Kawasaki’s first fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of both the fuel (via fuel injectors) and the air (via throttle valves) delivered to the engine. Ideal fuel injection and throttle valve position results in smooth, natural engine response. Control of both fuel injection and airflow also enables precise cold-engine idling speed control.

K-ACT ABS

K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS enables riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed to complement riders’ applied brake force, K-ACT ABS ensures ideal brake force distribution to maximise braking efficiency.

6-speed transmission with overdrive

6th gear is an overdrive gear, contributing to stress-free riding and better fuel economy when travelling at highway speeds.

Powerful 1,700 cm3 V-Twin engine

Long-stroke, liquid cooled, SOHC, 8-valve 1,700 cm3 V-Twin engine was designed to deliver high levels of torque. Bore and stroke measure 102 x 104 mm.

Electronic Cruise Control

Operation of the Electronic Cruise Control is conveniently from the right handle. The system can be activated between 47 km/h and 137 km/h in 3rd gear or above. Operating the brake lever, clutch lever or rear brake pedal causes the Electronic Cruise Control to be disengaged. Closing the throttle beyond the “zero-throttle” position is another instinctive way to disengage the system.

High-spec audio system with iPod-compatibility

High-spec audio system features twin 40 W speakers, radio and compatibility with an iPod, XM tuner or CB radio unit.
Class-leading iPod-compatibility allows the audio display to show the same information available on the iPod screen: song name, playlist, etc all appear on the audio display.
