I bought one ,and it's a great running machine. I installed a K&N air filter and it works wonders. Kawasaki sure made a very nice cruiser. I am very happy with the bike so far.

thank you for putting the best review. I have found so far for this machine. This review is so good, then I’m going to pass on buying this machine because of the heat. The heat prevented me from buying a few motorcycles in the past. The Yamaha F,JR, the Kawasaki, 1400 concourse, and especially the Honda, ST 1300 which is an absolute oven… there is one of these machines for sale on craigslist here in August 2023. It’s been on there for about a month. 15 K miles, gorgeous, totally stock. I currently am on my third Yamaha royal star venture. I previously had a GL 1800 Goldwing, and a BMW K 1200 LT. I kept going back to the Venture‘s. Because they are roomy, comfortable, 45 miles to the gallon, and there fast enough. If I wanna go fast, I ride one of my other bikes, but on the highway on my Venture, 80 is no problem. I currently have many videos about ownership and maintenance. I have done to my royal star venture. I also have a comparison video between owning and maintaining a GL 1800 Goldwing and my current Yamaha royal star venture which has almost 60,000 views here on KZbin. I saw a couple videos of this Kawasaki here on KZbin, and I’m interested because of the one for sale near me. I really really like the sound of this Kawasaki. It sounds so effortless. But, I am hearing little hints and in this video I’ve learned that there is a heat issue. So thank you for that. I’m going to pass and stick with my simple easy to work on roomy venture.. I don’t know why these manufacturers can’t figure out how to deal with the heat coming off of these engines and radiators. The new V twin air cooled Yamaha star.Venture really pushed out the heat. One owner ended up going to the emergency room with burns on his left leg from the exhaust system heat.. as much as I did not like dealing with all of that plastic on my Goldwing to do simple maintenance like just change, the air filter is a $600 job if you have the shop do it for you. It took me almost 6 hours to change the air filter on that Goldwing. And I used to be a motorcycle mechanic at three different dealerships… but Honda certainly knew how to deal with that heat with the Goldwing in the Honda pacific coast. I have had two Pacific coasts.. my first one got totaled from behind with me on it while waiting my turn at a stop sign on my daily commute. I replaced it with another Pacific Coast, which I commuted on for 24 years, usually six days a week, for eight months a year. I was one of those guys you would see riding to work in the rain in the morning as long as it wasn’t really pouring… but that Honda pacific coast, you couldn’t feel any heat I mean zero while riding. There were two vents up near the sides of the radiator through the fairing side panels that the heat came out of. So I know it can be done, and I wish these manufacturers would come up with ways to direct the heat away from us riders.. because I wear all the gear all the time. Kevlar, jeans, deerskin, gloves, motorcycle street, bike, boots, full face, helmet, leather or mesh motorcycle jackets… I just can’t take temperatures over 85° when I’m behind a fairing with all the gear on. I will ride my Kawasaki Z 400 when the temperatures are going to be above 85 that day. we are just not used to temperatures above 90 here in Pennsylvania. I won’t even go in my pool if it’s above 90° outside..

Thank you for an honest in depth review from putting some real miles on this bike. The most surprising thing to me is the fuel range, and nobody talks about it. It’s hard to view this as a true touring bike when an 800mile day would require FIVE fuel stops 😮. A rider isn’t making any time in the gas station.

I had an '09.The first year for the K-Act ABS. The factory had adjusted the belt way too tight - sang like a guitar string. Backed it off three flats on each side and problem and whine solved. Yes it was very hot on the right. Switched to Goldwing, then Harley Ultra. The Harley is everything they say it is - fabulous to ride, great stereo, intercom, GPS, etc. but expensive and according to Utube not without it's mechanical issues. I never had a mechanical problem with any of my Nomads or the Voyager. I always keep the Harley under the extended warranty - just in case.

I have the 2018 Voyager Candy Cardinal Red and Silver. I bought her new in March of 2019 and I'm still at under 5k miles. Bullet proof bike and comfortable. I do want to get some handlebar risers and like you I do wish Kaw would have put reverse cause she is a big ole gal! Very heavy to pick up off the kickstand, but she is so graceful on curves. And my Keychain at 70mph doesn't even move from wind. ( yes, I know you can remove the key while running) but I love it! Great bike.

Mine's a 2010 with 26K miles. They haven't changed much at all. It really is a great bike. The most stable on the freeway I've ever had. By the way, that rear footrest on mine is much more stable. I wouldn't mess with that kickstand. I'm sure Kawasaki knows what they're doing. It's stable the way it is.

I’ve never had a touring bike before. I’ve always had Harley’s sportster, syna, and softails. But for a full touring bike like this I think a Kawasaki is a much better choice over the 35k dollar Harley ultra. I’ve only had Harley’s but it’s not because I’m a purist...I just like Harley’s. I just can’t justify that much money though when Kawasaki offers the same thing for half the money. They look good and sound great 👍🏼

Thank you for this straight up review. Since my 2008 Goldwing was killed last year and I'm 90% healed, I'm looking to get another touring bike. Honda, Yamaha and Harley are on my radar, however, the price of the Vulcan compared to the nearest classed bike, still gives me around $10K to mod the bike out to my liking. That said, the lack of reverse gear might play a part in my choice.

When you decided to buy a cruiser especially one the size of the Voyager you have some things in mind. You like the look with plenty of bling - the blacked out look of some modern cruisers isn't what you want. You're not buying a sports bike that will thrash you off the line at the lights because that is not as important and a day out on the road. It is not as important as the ride where you'll put the bike in over-drive, engage the cruise control and ride all day barely having to change down to negotiate a hill because it has plenty of torque to get up the hill and leave the sports bike changing down and revving like crazy. Ride what you like but this is a comfortable ride for the rider and although I've never been on the back I'm told the pillion is like a lounge chair. I like the addition of the highway pegs for a laidback ride and the rider backrest. The ABS braking works fine and the KACT braking is a good feature as well. The fairing and screen work together to keep the wind off the rider and pillion - opening the leg shields does give some airflow in summer. Music is well taken care of with the AM/FM Aux input ( we don't have satellite radio in Australia where I live). If I were to offer Kawasaki any advice on how to improve the bike from the 2010 model I own it would be to add traction control and an electrically operated - speed limited reverse. The former is just more safety for a wet, slippery road and the latter makes parking, in places where angle parking is the rule, so much easier. The Goldwing has such a revers gear so it can't be too difficult to do and in my view would not detract in anyway from the cruiser look/vibe.

I'm upgrading from a small Shadow which is a bit jarring over ruff road, and can't entertain riding with my wife who has back issues. I saw one review the person claimed was like a marshmallow, but maybe something wrong with suspension. Marshmallow is what I need for her.

I remember the first time I scraped the floorboards on my Voyager in a traffic circle! Scared me, but I didn't panic. I also scraped it on a regular right turn, (I took the turn real tight), so you learn the limitations. I found the factory windshield too high for summer riding, it was literally like being inn a car worthy the windows up! So I bought another one from the dealer that was about 4 inches shorter. That way, if i want more protection, like in cooler months, it's an easy swap.

Don't forget change the air intake system then dyno tune with power commander due to special factory design of air intake system. You will never have hot engine or burning legs after you done all this.

Evidently, you've never test rode a Harley touring bike in quite a while!

I have grown used to my hockey puck, have had to park in grass a few times and I am glad I had it.

If it is not your bike why would you tell someone to get rid of something?
