There's one at my local dealer, if you need someone to get detailed pics of any part of it.

I'm wondering if it's better on the back than a Drifter.

That's what I'm wondering... that and the luggage space is the only reason I'd consider selling the beloved Drifter.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll need to find one to check out.

My wife rides her own (900 Classic LT), but loves the "back seat" on the Voyager. I put on the back set of the stereo speakers for her, and we're ready to go!

Yes Bongo had one and was called "my Precious" and he did complain of the weight of the machine.

I am sure bongo on the uk forum had one of these for a very short space of time,I did ask him about it as a mate of mine was looking for a cruiser. Bongo did not sing its praises saying it was extremely heavy and he did drop it a couple of times and the passenger seat was poor. You would be best speaking to him just in case I am quoting the wrong bike but I am pretty sure it was the same bike.

My brother owned one for a bit. He liked it except for (his words) the fact that the engine got hotter than his HD did in regards to feeling the engine temps. Other than that he really liked it. He said that during the trip we took last summer, and there were some long patches of riding where the air temp got pretty warm. Not sure if that's what caused it or not.

That's great to find someone who has both! I'm curious mostly as to the passenger comfort. I have a Corbin 2-up on the Drifter, which is comfortable enough. However, the air turbulence etc isn't that good for her. I was thinking, perhaps, the bikes built more for passenger hauling might be better. Any thoughts on that??

I have one in addition to my Drifter. Put on a new air box, pipes and power commander and love it. For zipping around, I still like the Drifter better, but you can't beat the Voyager on longer trips.

Anyone ever spend any time on a Vulcan Voyager??? I thought about checking one out sometime. Looks like they would make a great touring bike...
