So what do you guys think of the new 1700?

She's probably looking for something that she actually reach the ground from and lean back a little on.

Exactly! The C14 is just too tall for me. And I don't like the top-heaviness (is that a word?) of the sport tourers. I like the low center of gravity of the cruiser-style bike.

I think I could fix the sitting position by putting some risers on a bike like the Connie or the FJR, but both bikes would still be taller than is comfortable for me. I really like being able to flat foot my bikes.

Personally, I LOVE the Voyager... and can see one in my near future. As a second bike, of course!

I like it, too. A lot. But I have to ride it first. All I know is that I want something smoother, faster, and more powerful than what I have now.

Doesn't that describe all of us?

I like the look of it. Someone did a photoshop of the rear trunk removed, it looks very sharp.

[ispeed77]

is the trunk removable ?

Don't think you'd find this top heavy Julie, maybe you and Tracy need to work out a deal on a pair of them. I didn't think I'd like parallel twins, but they're a really sweet motor. I loved the motor in Jodie's Ninja 650 and this 800 would be that much better.



They make a low version as well that we saw at the motorcycle show.

I've cut the pic from the Kawasaki site to show the rider/passenger (specifically the driver) and how high up his knees are in the pic. I can't tell by the pic how tall that guy is but if he's as tall as some of us are it appears that the driver could be a little cramped on this bike, yes?

It looks like a take-off of the new Victory Space Bike (Vision).
