Overview

Meet the Kawasaki VN1700 Classic Tourer – a fully loaded 1700cc V-twin cruiser with genuine long-haul capabilities and classic American styling.

First introduced as the Nomad in Kawasaki’s Vulcan lineup, the Classic Tourer blends old-school cruiser charm with modern touring comfort.

Our example is garage-kept, corrosion-free, and freshly serviced – an exceptional find for anyone seeking a dependable, head-turning tourer.

Fully Loaded for Touring Comfort

The VN1700 Classic Tourer was built for distance. The tall windscreen softens wind blast for relaxed highway riding, while the spacious hard panniers provide secure storage – ideal for weekend trips or cross-country adventures. A sturdy passenger backrest and roomy floorboards keep both rider and pillion comfortable for hours on end.

This model also features electronic cruise control as standard, making long journeys effortless – simply set your pace and enjoy the ride. It’s a machine designed to make the miles disappear, leaving you free to take in the scenery and savour the deep rumble of that big V-twin.

Condition & Maintenance

It’s rare to find a cruiser of this age in such pristine condition. The bodywork gleams, chrome shines brightly, and there’s no corrosion anywhere – proof of careful, garage-kept storage. Even small details like bolts and fasteners are exceptionally clean.

Mechanically, it’s fully sorted. A fresh oil and filter change has just been carried out, and the PDI has confirmed that the tires, brakes, battery, and electronics are all in excellent shape. With an extensive service history file to hand, you can buy with total peace of mind – this bike is ready to ride and enjoy immediately.

Powerful 1700cc V-Twin Performance

At its heart beats Kawasaki’s 1,700cc liquid-cooled V-twin – smooth, reliable, and brimming with torque. Producing around 73 horsepower and a huge 108 lb-ft of torque at just 2,750 rpm, it pulls effortlessly from low revs, even when fully loaded with luggage and a passenger.

The 6-speed gearbox (with overdrive top gear) makes motorway cruising relaxed and efficient, while the modern belt drive ensures quiet running and low maintenance compared to older shaft-driven models. Dual front disc brakes provide strong and reassuring stopping power, matching the bike’s performance with real-world practicality.

A Special Place in Kawasaki’s Lineup

Launched in 2009 as part of the Vulcan 1700 series, the Classic Tourer (or Nomad, as it’s known in the US) was designed as the perfect middle ground between the stripped-back Vulcan Classic and the fully decked-out Voyager tourer. It offers the best of both worlds: classic cruiser style with its sweeping fenders, chrome trim, and two-tone paint, combined with touring-ready practicality.

For many riders, it represents the ideal long-distance cruiser – refined, durable, and comfortable without being overly heavy or complicated. It’s a machine built for adventure, equally at home on British A-roads as it is carving through European highways.
