Kawasaki VN1700 Classic

VN1700 Classic - Introducing a new series of 1700cc V-Twins.

Kawasaki is proud to introduce its newest series of big V-Twins. The VN1700 Series, successors to the VN1600 models, feature powerful 1700cc engines, light handling and trademark Kawasaki craftsmanship.

The new engine design is similar to that of the mighty VN2000, but features a SOHC rather than OHV arrangement. Its increase in displacement and long-stroke design ensure both torque and horsepower gains over the VN1600 models. New features include Kawasaki's first fully electronic throttle valve system, a new 6-speed transmission with overdrive, and belt final drive like the VN2000 and VN900 models.

The new lightweight chassis is more compact than that of previous models. Chassis design and suspension settings result in light handling.

Bodywork and engine covers were completely redesigned. Like on all Kawasaki Cruisers, meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship result in a product that turns heads whether parked in front of a café or cruising down the highway.

The VN1700 Series is comprised of four models: two Tourers (VN1700 Voyager and VN1700C) and two Cruisers (VN1700E and VN1700G). Variations in tuning and equipment mean there is a VN1700 model for all Kawasaki Cruiser fans.

VN1700 Voyager: Kawasaki's first V-Twin full-dress tourer features all the comfort features and equipment necessary for long-distance two-up touring. (For more details about the Voyager please refer to the VN1700 Voyager Model Information.)

VN1700C (VN1700 Classic Tourer): Cruise control, large windscreen, hard panniers, passenger floorboards and luxury backrest enable comfortable two-up touring. Ideal for overnight tours with a passenger.

VN1700E (VN1700 Classic): Whether looking to riding around town or to escape the city for the day, the Classic offers a great V-Twin pulse, effortless handling and timeless looks.
