2012 Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager Custom ABS – SN602

Rare | Upgraded | Lovely Condition | A Standout Among the VN1700 Family

This isn’t just another big cruiser — this is the VN1700 Vaquero, Kawasaki’s factory-custom touring bagger that delivers muscle, comfort, and attitude in equal measure.

Part of the VN1700 Vulcan family, the Vaquero offers a unique combination of long-distance touring capability and blacked-out, hot-rod styling that sets it apart from its siblings:

🧭 How It Stands Out:

• Compared to the VN1700 Classic:
  The Classic is a stripped-back cruiser with no screen or touring kit. The Vaquero adds full batwing, hard bags and audio, making it far more versatile and premium for long-haul riding.

• Compared to the VN1700 Nomad:
  The Nomad is tour-ready but leans toward traditional styling including the full windscreen, hard bags and a passenger backrest. The Vaquero offers a more aggressive stance with blacked-out components, integrated batwing, and a lower-slung look, giving it more presence and a modern custom feel.

• Compared to the Voyager:
  The Voyager is a full dresser with a top box and tall screen, ideal for full-blown touring. The Vaquero removes the top box and pares back the screen, blending touring comfort with sleeker, muscle cruiser aesthetics. It’s lighter, lower, and sportier, appealing to riders who want performance with comfort — not just bulk.
