Today's bike news in brief
New Kawasaki cruiser range
KAWASAKI HAS launched its brand new range of 1700 cruisers: the VN1700 Voyager, Classic and Classic Tourer.
The Voyager features Kawasaki’s first ever exclusive linked-brake system with inbuilt ABS, which controls brake force distribution between front and rear brakes.
Kawasaki’s first fully electronic throttle valve (ETV) system is also available as standard on all three.
The ETV system ensures fuelling and ignition are very precise, making the machines environmentally friendly.
The Voyager and Classic also feature cruise control – all you have to do is click the switches on the right handlebar to increase or reduce cruising speed.
It will hold any speed between 30 and 85mph in third gear and can be cancelled with a simple touch on the brake or clutch, or by moving the throttle towards the closed position.
To add to your cruising pleasure the Voyager also comes with iPod connectivity, controlled from switches on the left handlebar.
According to Kawasaki, these motorcycles epitomise “old-school styling with new school comfort”.
