Kawasaki Voyager XII reviews

Best bike for the money. After owning many bikes over many years this machine fills the needs for around town and the open road. Bullet proof engine that is smooth and has plenty of power with low maintainence. Bought my 03 Voyager in August of 02 and have put over 3,000 miles on it without any problems. Some of the bike mag's say it is a 17 year old design. I look at it as a proven design that gives excellant service. It also comes with a 3 year unlimited milage warranty. Show less

Bought my 2003 voyager in August of 02. Have had several bikes over many years. You can't beat this machine for the money. It has been around for a long time and is proven to be reliable and requires minimum maintainance. Plenty of power from the bullet proof engine. Smooth engine and ride. Have put a little over 3,000 miles on it in four months without a problem. Show less

The Voyager XII is an incredible machine, the balance is perfect, it has plenty of power, and the shifting is as smooth as silk. I moved up from an old CSR650 to the Voyager XII and it took all of 2 minutes to feel comfortable with this massive bike. The first thing I noticed was no engine vibration and a very smooth ride. This bike handles extremely well in stop and go traffic and highway riding. The Voyager XII also has very generous storage space with a trunk light that turns on automatically when you open it! All the controls are conveniently located and easy to use. I have found this motorcycle to be very comfortable. I can ride for hours and not have a sore backside. I highly recommend the Voyager XII to anyone that is considering a touring bike. I have been riding Kawasaki motorcycles exclusively for 24 years and have never had any problems. I had very high expectations when I purchased my Voyager XII and have not been disappointed! The Voyager XII is a very high quality motorcycle that is an absolute pleasure to ride. Show less

If your going to ride this bike any distance you will need to change the seat first thang. Every thang about the bike is good but the seat. You bottom will start hurting after 2hours riding time. Corbin makes a seat for this bike, and it will be the best money you have spent on a motorcycle. The bike gets a 5 star from me. the seat get a 1 star. Change the seat. Show less

I am on the board of directors for the American Voyager Association. We have app. 900+ members. I have owned 3 voyagers myself and curently have a 2002 XII W/ 15000miles and had a 91 XII also w/ 140k miles. Very reliable bike. My wife and I tour the country with our local chapter to many of the annual events across the country, pulling a Kwik Kamp.

Bought this bike 9/11. Now have 6000 trouble free miles on it. Longest ride in one day 500+. I traded in a HONDA Ace Tourer for this bike. The HondaPowr was a great bike but I wanted full dresser. This bike handles better with a much lower center of gravity. Power is good but tires on the 2001 are not (they changed type in 2002. Nothing compares for $11,000 Show less

Got 2000 Model Voyager and put 17,000 miles on it first year all thats been done is service every 2000 miles and one rear tire. Can not see paying 17K forHarley or Gold Wing Show less

Comes stock with cruise control, AM/FM sterio cassette with front and rear speakers, travel trunk and saddlebags, front and rear air shocks and adjustable suspension. Plenty of power (1199 CC in-line 4 cylinders). Stock tires aren't real good but after adding Metzler ME880's, now rides and travels like a dream come true. I now have 28,000 miles on it and haven't had it in the shop for ANY repairs because it hasn't needed any. Show less

I've had my '01 Voyager for a year now, and have put 8k on it. I've never been able to put more than about 2500 on any other bike I've owned before. This lets me do it all. I can strap my golf clubs, shoes, etc. on it, or load it up with fishing gear, and go. These things always required my truck before. So, I get a lot more saddle time. It's not perfect, had a few minor burps from new, but no problem with the dealer making things right. And, while handling isn't sportbike edged, it does fine by me. No problem grinding a few bolts off in the twisties. Let's see, handles ok, great gas mileage, super versatile, good dealer relationship, price won't break the bank, my wife even likes the pass. seat. Must be something missing ....... naahhh, Prego.

Have 86 voyager. 48 thousand miles -- no complaints, except price of parts. How can an alternator cost so much? Only thing I would change is how the mirrors are mounted. Hit a big bump and readjust. Show less
