2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager


Classic good looks Tourer has a large plant, which makes everything. VTC horizon game are not new to Kawasaki. The original and Voyager ® ™ Concours sport touring models wore long-distance duty admirably for decades. It was not until 2009 blessed his Green Team V-Twin cruiser gala attire to go statewide - and nationwide - for wrapping, top-shelf comfort. The result was the Vulcan 1700 Voyager ®, a path that could not only you and a passenger out with total ease, but classic in style, too.

As the flagship of the 1700 Vulcan 2011 Voyager family has everything you need for this type of hiking adventure, a very gentle outrageously high torque 1700 cc V-twin, large frame-mounted fairing, luggage is stored well integrated a week of equipment, a comfortable seat, cruise control system electronic high-fidelity sound, K-ACT anti-lock/integrated optional braking system and the kind of vision to design and Kawasaki is known for its reliability. This is a package unmatched in the motorcycle world.
 
2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager
 Although a non-ABS model available, last year, Kawasaki Voyager 1700 level powertrain / brake technology with the addition of its second generation of Kawasaki Advanced Coactive Braking Technology (K-ACT) system. Available on the ABS-equipped Voyager, K-ACT uses advanced electronics to translate the input of the driver braking both the front handle and the pedal back and smooth, balanced and maximum braking deceleration. Basically, the front handle also activates the rear brake pedal and rear caliper also urges the front right: K-ACT ensures that everything that happens in a transparent and efficient, and the second generation system uses even the smaller, lighter and faster ABS unit, found more spec brake ECU Kawasaki Concours ™ 14 ABS Motorcycles for operation even smoother and more accurate. K-ACT coactive will not engage when braking is used at speeds below 12 km / h, and the ABS function is automatically disengaged at speeds below 4 km / h.

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 1700 CC 52-degree V-twin with all this technology was developed to cool the support is an engineering marvel, and is functionally capable as they come. With a liquid-cooled, four-valve cylinder heads and a single overhead cam configuration for the big-time mid-range power, the engine uses a pair of large pistons to pump a massive amount of torque over a wide range rev - a key to this engine is very flexible. There is a shipment of the substance within the area of ​​rounds, where riders spend most of the time, and more than enough idle all the way to 5000 rpm, so more league, the righting force is available now Each time you turn grip.

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.

Voyager innovative technology corresponds to the essential features, including control electronics highway speeds and six-speed transmission with overdrive gears fifth and sixth. Cruise control is very well run by the right handlebar and can be activated between 30 and 85 h in one of the last four reports. Ideally, the cruise control can be disabled by pressing the brake lever, clutch lever, rear brake pedal, or manually by turning the throttle.

It comes with overdrive gears, and super-strong carbon fiber belt drive Voyager is ideal for a recurring role in the mile-eater. The fifth and sixth gears longer to promote a relaxed and better fuel economy at highway speeds, and his band of carbon fiber tensile strength is 40 percent higher than last Kevlar units to allow the use of design 28 mm minimizes the width of the transmission.

A long-distance tourer needs higher wind and protection against the elements, and Voyager packs plenty in the form of its large frame-mounted fairing and windshield, as well as leg shields, which incorporate adequate ventilation to keep the heat of motor away from the pilot's legs when walking slowly. The installation of this beautifully sculpted fairing image transfers without wind shakes the bike instead of handlebars, reducing rider fatigue on long journeys.

A full range of luggage is elegant and integrated part of the package Voyager. Sealed and lockable top-opening event from 10 one gallon (38L) in partnership with a volume of color-keyed, 13.2 gallons (50L) lockable trunk tail that is big enough to swallow two large full-face helmets. Also lots of storage, the Voyager also has a pair of lockable glove boxes at the front, providing a convenient place to store small items and accessories.

Comfortable seats for driver and passenger is a motorcycle touring. Voyager offers a deluxe tour of places still sculpted to provide additional support for the entire day visiting. Participation in long-haul traffic safety and relaxation are a luxury backrest and floors as well as the pilot and passenger.

Built-in instruments and controls mounted on the Voyager radio features classic car dashboard style offer exceptional and classic muscle car. The image is reinforced by the classic font used in the implementation of large round dial and a radio-style to look like 8-track players of the 1960s.

LCD multifunction display with back-to-analog mixed device to call in the middle of the console. And 'controlled by switches on the right handlebar and the properties of the indicator gear position, clock, odometer, dual trip meters remaining field and the average consumption.

Active intercom headsets, 40-watt two-speaker audio system features a three band (FM / AM / WX) radio that is also compatible with iPod, XM tuner or CB radio unit. The audio system (and iPod) can be operated by an integrated controller on the left handlebar. Besides the volume, the pilot can also adjust bass, treble and balance the system.

Voyager is also equipped with a water-cooled generator rare earth magnet that produces an impressive 46.8 amps of electricity - enough to power add-on navigation systems and other electrical accessories that add to the Modern touring experience. Voyager also has a port of cigarettes handy lighter style on the instrument panel and two sockets under the seat - ideal for electrically heated clothing and accessories.

Kawasaki Voyager filled design with advanced technologies, without tarnishing his spectacular style and attractive visual appeal. As the dashboard, the body of the Voyager continues the inspiration of the muscle car, with its 60 curves, muscular lines. Meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship of the bodywork and the engine cover is evident in the profiles that look good from any angle and are pleasant to the touch as they are in sight.

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 the routine and the other V-Twin tourer, Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager combines the reliability and performance, V-twin feel, comfort and convenience for long distance touring riders demand.
