2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS


Classic good looks Tourer has a large plant, which makes everything. Horizon looking for touring bikes are not new to Kawasaki. Initial Voyager ® and ™ Concours sport-touring models were forced to drag the long-haul flights miraculously for decades. But it was only in 2009 did not bless the Green Team in the V-twin cruiser with an accompanying need to cross the road full-dress - or across the country - and a curve, top-shelf amenities. The result was the Vulcan ® 1700 Voyager Tourer, which is not only whip you and your passenger off and comfortable, but also a classic style.

As the flagship of the family's 1700 Vulcan 2011 Voyager has everything you need for such an adventurous hike: a smooth and torquey shocking 1700 cc V-twin, large frame mounted fairing, luggage fits beautifully integrated in a weeks of gears, a comfortable seat, cruise control electronics, high-fidelity audio system, optional K-ACT anti-lock/integrated braking system and the kind of a sense of design and reliability Kawasaki is known for. This is a package unmatched in the world of motorcycling.
 
2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS
Although the model is available without ABS, last year, Kawasaki Voyager 1700 improves the transmission / braking technology with the addition of the second generation of coercive Kawasaki Brake Technology (K-ACT) system. Available on the ABS equipped Voyager, K-ACT uses advanced electronics to convert the driver's braking input from both the front lever and pedal back to a smooth deceleration and stop the most balanced. Basically, the front lever also operates the rear brake pedal and rear caliper also calls on the front right: K-ACT provides all of this happens smoothly and efficiently, and the second generation system uses the same smaller, lighter and ABS unit faster, higher-specification brake ECU is on the Kawasaki Concours ™ 14 ABS Motorcycles for even smoother operation accurately. K-ACT did not participate in coercive function when applied braking at speeds below 12 mph, and the ABS function is automatically deactivated at speeds below 4 mph.

There are many more ahead a unique technology, including the Kawasaki system fully electronic throttle, which works in conjunction with Voyager injection (EFI) to improve throttle response, regardless of the BIG tarnish rate Vee. The system also allows the ECU to deliver ultra-precise air / fuel measurement and more precise control of the idle speed. The configuration uses a throttle position sensor (APS) and the throttle position sensor (TPS) input data to the ECU, which adjusts the throttle plates in the intake air flow adjusted accordingly. The system provides natural gas smell like APS is activated by a pulley throttle-body connected by cables to the accelerator.

The CC 1700 52 degree V-twin all this technology is designed to cool the support is an engineering marvel and is functionally capable as they come. With liquid cooling, four valves per cylinder head and camshaft in a unique configuration for the big time mid-range power, the engine uses a pair of large pistons to pump a lot of torque in an incredibly broad range of speed - a key to the flexibility of this great engine. A load of the substance in the area of ​​the towers where riders spend more time and more than enough rest all the way to 5000 rpm, the big leagues, the momentum of righting is available whenever you turn the handle.

The Voyager fuel injection and exhaust systems are tuned for maximum torque and power at a slightly higher than conventional models, which is optimal for a torpedo-road. The Silent Voyager have been redesigned for 2011 with improved sound quality and a more tapered, classic look. Other changes for 2011 has improved the action moving, intake manifold and a small review EFI tweak that improves throttle response to match more efficiently with the redesigned silent. Additional features provided by sturdy touring Voyager, but easy to coupling clamp, which contains six spring damping and progressive three-step commitment to move more easily under hard acceleration.

The Voyager's innovative technology is combined with essential features tour, such as electronic cruise control and a six-speed gearbox overdrive fifth and sixth gear. The cruise control is easy to use from the right handlebar, and can be activated between 30 and 85 mph at all the first four gears. For convenience, the cruise control can be disabled by pressing the brake lever, clutch lever, rear brake pedal, or by manually moving out of gas.

Ratios and overdrive with a ring of super-strong carbon fiber drive, transmission Voyager adapted to its role as a leisure mile-eater. His fifth and sixth gear contributes to relaxed driving and better fuel economy at highway speeds, and belt drive carbon fiber has a tensile strength 40 percent higher than the devices Newest Kevlar, which allows you to use a design that minimizes the width 28mm transmission.

Long-distance tourer needs of upper wind and weather protection, and Voyager packs a lot of it in the form of a frame mounted on the large windshield and equalization, as well as leg guards, including effective ventilation to keep the heat of motor away from the rider's legs are going more slowly. The installation of this beautifully crafted fairing the hull to move any wind to shake the wheel instead of handlebars, reducing rider fatigue on long journeys.

Full and elegant built-in luggage is part of the Voyager. Closed, locked, and a top-opening panniers, a 10-gallon (38L), partners in the volume of solid, 13.2 gallons (50L) lockable trunk line, which is big enough to swallow two large full-face helmets. In addition, plenty of storage space, Voyager is also a couple of boxes with lock front compartment, providing a convenient place to store small items and accessories.

Comfortable seats for the driver and a passenger must travel on a motorcycle. The Voyager offers new luxury seats with engravings on the road to provide additional support for the tour during the day. Contribute to the safety of long-distance passenger and relaxation are a luxury and soil folder for the driver and passenger.

Built-in tools and radio controls mounted on Voyager, a classic car-style dash features offer exceptional styling and classic Muscle Car. Figure strengthened the classic fonts used in a great game to play and the equipment and the radio-style to resemble an 8-track player in 1960.

A multi-function LCD is mixed with analog ringing back in the middle of the instrument console. It is controlled by switches on the right handlebar and a gear indicator, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, remaining range and average fuel consumption.

Intercom headset, 40-watt, dual speaker system includes a three-band audio (AM / FM / WX) radio that is also compatible with iPod, XM radio tuner or CB radio unit. The audio system (and iPod) can be controlled by an integrated controller on the left handlebar. In addition, the volume, the driver can also adjust bass, treble, and system levels.

The Voyager also features a water-cooled alternator rare earth magnet that produces an impressive 46.8 amps of electricity - enough to power add-on navigation systems and other electrical accessories are added to the travel experience today. The Voyager also includes a practical style port cigarette lighter on the instrument panel and two sockets under the seat - ideal for electrically heated clothing and accessories.

Kawasaki Voyager designers full of advanced technology, without dulling his dramatic style and an attractive appearance. As the dashboard, the Voyager, the body will continue in the '60s muscle car inspired by its curves, muscular lines. Great attention to detail and fine craftsmanship of the car and engine covers are a distinct rounded shape that looks good from every angle, and are pleasant to the touch, because they are in the eye.

Voyager manages much lighter, thanks to the car for the best case and an excellent suspension. Dual air-shocks provide 3.1 inches of travel of the rear suspension settings and features as the Voyager. Dampers feature 4-way rebound damping adjustment to help ensure a comfortable ride and predictable handling.

It offers a stylish alternative to other over-the factory V-twin of the hikers, the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS combines reliability with performance V-twin feel, comfort and convenience of long distance runners tour request.

Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.
