Open highway cruising becomes even easier on the Voyager with convenient and easy to use cruise control controlled from the right handle.

Fully Loaded Console with Audio

All New V-Twin Engine

The 1,700 cm³ liquid cooled, 4-stroke V-Twin long stroke engine based on that of the Vulcan 2000 delivers significant torque and power.

Front Cowling and Windscreen

The muscular front cowling and windscreen offers protection from the wind and elements. Mounting the cowling to the frame rather than the handlebars contributes to light handling and minimises the effect of wind buffeting.

 

Large Volume Carrying Capacity

The 50 litre top box is large enough to fit two full face helmets while the hard, lockable panniers each add 38 litres of storage space.
