Essai Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager : fausse jumelle

La Kawasaki VN 1700 Voyager a beau ressembler à la célèbre Harley Davidson Electra Glide, son patrimoine mécanique lui, est bien différent. Car si la Japonaise hérite des mêmes codes esthétiques, elle se distingue par son moteur, son châssis et son prix.

C'est vrai que la grosse Kawasaki VN 1700 rappelle sans nul doute l'une des plus illustres Harley Davidson : l'Electra Glide. Un parti pris que les Verts défendent par le fait que cette configuration esthétique semble être la plus adaptée pour une moto destinée au voyage.

On trouve donc de nombreux points communs, dont le principal : l'énorme tête de fourche équipé d'un feu rond et de deux phares antibrouillard, le tout surplombé par un grand pare-brise. Cet élément est directement fixé au cadre et permet ainsi d'alléger la direction. Un détail qui a son importance quand on sait que ce gros bébé pèse 406 kg !

La plus balaise des Kawasaki n'a pas changé depuis quelque temps, mais chaque année les Japonais la parent d'un nouveau coloris. En 2013, l'unique blanc "Pearl Crystal" et argent "Metallic Phantom" allège considérablement l'allure de la moto. Revers de la médaille : il est salissant et nécessitera un entretien fréquent.

Rappelons également que Kawasaki continue de proposer la VN 1700 à travers une gamme particulièrement fournie et variée : cinq versions, dont la "Classic" qui commence à 13 999 euros et cette série "Voyager" qui culmine à 20 199 euros (voir encadré).

En face, la Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic (lire notre Essai MNC Ultra Classic 2012 : la croisière s'amuse ! ) s'affiche à partir de 26 290 euros et peut même frôler les 39 000 dans sa version CVO !

Pas de doute, c'est une Kawa'

Sensible lorsque la moto est posée sur sa béquille - latérale, pas de centrale -, le poids de la VN1700 est toujours présent une fois qu'on la chevauche. Bien que la masse soit correctement répartie sur les 2 560 mm de la bête, cette dernière reste un sacré bestiau à manoeuvrer à l'arrêt.

L'absence de marche arrière ne nous pas posé de problème, mais elle pourrait faire suer - au sens propre comme au figuré ! - le biker transportant un passager et des bagages, coincé dans un faux plat ! Heureusement, le large guidon offre le bras de levier nécessaire pour bouger l'engin. Les biceps en revanche ne sont pas livrés avec la moto...

Heureusement, la lourdeur de l'ensemble disparaît dès qu'on enclenche le premier rapport. Il devient même étonnant qu'on puisse manier aussi facilement à basse vitesse un pareil engin, pourtant équipé de roues de 16 pouces et de gros boudins qui vont bien. Le train avant tombe mais ne chute pas comme celui d'une Rocket par exemple (lire notre Duel MNC VN1700 Voyager Vs Rocket III Touring : 4 000 cc pour les vacances ! )

Une fois lancé, l'équilibre s'améliore encore et l'on peut rapidement apprécier la traversée des petits villages normands... qui font la part belle aux ronds-points ! La souplesse des commandes - et celle du moteur ! - permet de rester sur un filet de gaz sans aucune difficulté et facilite également la prise en main.

Tout aussi souple, le levier d'embrayage assure une parfaite gestion des changements de vitesses (cinq plus un "overdrive"). Dommage que la boîte se montre à la fois bruyante et un peu lente, car la Kawasaki pouvait jusqu'alors prétendre au sans-faute.

Sur petites départementales, la VN 1700 continue de séduire grâce à son châssis convaincant. Les petites routes bucoliques que nous empruntons mettent en évidence les qualités dynamiques de ce cruiser.

Toujours aussi maniable, elle est facile à mener dans les virages, même lorsqu'on hausse un peu le rythme. Et contrairement à une certaine Américaine qui gigote pas mal dans ces conditions, la Kawasaki reste stable même quand la route se dégrade.

Les suspensions font preuve d'une belle efficacité en ce qui concerne la tenue de route, mais elles auraient mérité davantage de frein en détente - jouer avec les réglages sur 4 positions de série ne change rien - afin d'éviter de venir en limite de débattement en sortant de vilaines cuvettes par exemple.

Mais ce détail ne gâche en rien les prestations de la VN 1700 : cette moto est l'une des meilleures voyageuses au monde !

Fiche moto Kawasaki VULCAN 1700 Nomad 2016 La tentation du voyage

Pour les amateurs de custom, de cruising et de grosses cylindrées, le VN 1700 Tourer vient renforcer l’offre de Kawa. Remplaçant du 1600 Tourer , ce Jumbo Jet s’intercale pile-poil entre feu la VN Classic et la Vulcan Voyager . Petit détail apparu en 2015 : les customs Kawa ne s'appellent plus VN mais récupère l'appelation américaine, Vulcan. Et ici, le prénom n'est plus 'Tourer' mais 'Nomad'.

Avec son gros twin de 1700 cc, le VN.. pardon, Vulcan, sait attirer l’oeil et l’attention des amateurs. Cette version Nomad est prédisposée aux belles escapades en duo avec le confort adéquat : valises rigides latérales, grand pare-brise, régulateur de vitesse, double jeu de marche-pieds grands comme des plateaux repas, et sissy-bar de bonne dimension pour le dos de Madame. Une belle bête pour les beaux week-end sans vaciller vers l’exubérance du Vulcan Voyager , encore plus équipé et débordant, plus typée pour les séjours au long cours. Par rapport au VN 1600 Tourer, le 1700 présente un nouveau châssis, un nouveau moteur, une nouvelle boite à 6 rapports, du couple et une puissance en hausse. Il se veut remarquable, et l’on ne peut qu’acquiescer devant son superbe coloris bi-ton.

10 Reasons Why The Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Is Criminally Underrated

The Vulcan is not an American-built cruiser, but Kawasaki seems to have nailed it overall!

While the Japanese have embraced the concept of the large, V-Twin American-style cruiser, the reception to the various models that have come from the Far East hasn’t always been positive, despite the obvious qualities such models possess. True, some of the Japanese attempts have been unconvincing pastiches of the ‘real thing’ but others have had all the qualities to succeed in what is a very important market. One such motorcycle is the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 - one of the best of its type - and this is why it deserves a second chance.

10 A Brief History Of The Kawasaki Vulcan

Kawasaki first entered the cruiser market - with the American market firmly in is sights - back in 1984, with the 699cc Vulcan model, powered by Kawasaki’s first-ever V-twin engine. Over the years, the Vulcan’s basic concept and structure have remained largely unchanged, although there have been a total of ten different displacement engines fitted, ranging from 400cc to 2,053cc. All have proved to be well-built, reliable, and comfortable, with decent performance and a large catalog of accessories allowing owners to configure the bike to their taste and purpose.

9 The Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Came Out In 2009

The Vulcan 1700 series was introduced in 2009 and the Voyager model was, as the name suggests, the fully-dressed touring model, complete with panniers, top box, and frame-mounted fairing. The 2023 version has a 1,700cc, 82 horsepower, 107 foot-pounds of torque V-Twin engine pushing along 895 pounds of weight. Yes, it’s big but no bigger than any of its rivals and the styling has a curvy softness which serves to make the size a little less intimidating.

8 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Chassis

The chassis of the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager is completely conventional, comprising steel tubing for the double down tube, and double cradle frame, with a large backbone running across the top of the engine. There’s nothing subtle about it, and it is built for strength and hang the weight penalty! Of course, carrying this much weight, it needs to be strong if stability is going to be uncompromised. The wheelbase won’t encourage sharp handling and it will never be a back-lane scratcher but then, if that’s what you’re expecting, but for cruising down the highway, it is perfect. Normally, long means low and the Vulcan is no exception, with a seat height of 28.7 inches.

7 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Suspension

Don’t expect anything revolutionary, because it just isn’t there! The forks are a sturdy 45mm and the rear shock is an air shock, which compensates somewhat for the relatively short 3.1 inches of travel - the front forks have 5.5 inches of travel. The rear shock has a four-position rebound damping adjuster, so you can dial it in depending on the load being carried or the road condition. Overall, the suspension is as good as on any of the American entries in this class and is only outperformed by the sophisticated suspension set-up on the Honda Gold Wing.

6 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Brakes

Again, Kawasaki has foregone the temptation to equip the Vulcan Voyager with anything but industry-standard braking equipment. Twin 300mm discs up front, clamped by four-piston calipers, and a single 300mm disc at the rear are standard fare for this class and perform as well as can be expected when dealing with this amount of mass. ABS, in the form of Kawasaki’s Advanced Coactive Braking technology (K-ACT ll) is a welcome feature. The brakes are linked so applying either lever actuates both the front and rear brakes.

5 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Transmission

Bikes in this class aren’t known for their light-switch-like gear changes, as you would find on a sports bike: Heavy Duty would be a more appropriate term. The Vulcan Voyager features a six-speed gearbox , with the top two gears designed to be more of an overdrive set-up and therefore perfect for keeping the revs down when on long straight stretches, while the first four gears give pretty spritely acceleration, whether from a standstill or rolling on the throttle on the move. The final drive is by a low-maintenance carbon-reinforced belt.

4 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Air Management System

This is an interesting feature. Big V-Twins such as this produce a lot of heat and the Kawasaki is no different, despite the engine being liquid-cooled. With the rear cylinder and exhaust header being right under the rider’s legs, excessive heat can be a problem but Kawasaki has developed the Kawasaki Air Management System to combat it. The front leg shields route radiator heat down below the engine, while a rear fan draws hot air away from the rear cylinder and exhaust header and directs it to the ground on the left side of the motorcycle. It’s surprisingly effective.

3 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Overall Quality

The Japanese are well-known for the quality of their products and the Vulcan Voyager is no different. If the design is a little derivative and brings nothing new to the table, then at least it is very well put together, and, in the fit and finish, you’ll find nothing to be concerned about, even after a few years. One benefit of keeping the same design for many years is that Kawasaki has had time to iron out any bugs.

2 Should You Seriously Consider The Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager?

The simple answer is, ‘why wouldn’t you?’ The only thing it lacks when compared to the Harley or Indian alternatives is the name on the tank. No, it’s not a particularly up-to-date design but, with typical Japanese engineering quality, that really doesn’t matter and the engine’s performance and refinement are proof enough of that, as is the overall comfort. None of the bikes in this class, with the exception of the Honda Gold Wing , are over-endowed with electronic trickery and the Vulcan Voyager is comparable with all of them, featuring ABS, built-in speakers, and integrated intercom compatibility with the majority of helmet-mounted communication systems.

1 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager Rivals and Pricing

The classic-style full dresser class is well populated, the obvious rivals to the Vulcan Voyager being the Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited and Ultra Limited, Indian Roadmaster, and home-grown rivals the Yamaha Star Venture and, slightly more modern in concept, the Honda Gold Wing. The Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager costs $19,299 , the Honda Gold Wing $29,600, the Yamaha Star Venture $24,999, the Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited starts at $29,399, the Ultra Limited $29,799 and the Indian Roadmaster $30,499. With that in mind, the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager is a positive bargain, another reason to consider it.

Q: How much horsepower does a Kawasaki 1700 have?

The 1,700cc V-twin engine in the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 produces 82 horsepower and 107 foot pounds of torque

Q: Does the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager have a reverse gear?
