2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero vs. Voyager: What Buyers and Owners Should Know

The 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS and Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS are distinct motorcycles, but the available official sources do not establish a complete, model-year-specific side-by-side comparison. If you are choosing between them, verify equipment and specifications against documentation for the exact 2015 motorcycle rather than assuming current or later-year Voyager details also apply.

What can be confirmed about the 2015 models?

Kawasaki’s owner center keeps separate 2015 parts records for the Vaquero ABS and Voyager ABS. Those model-specific records are useful when checking parts, but they do not by themselves provide a complete comparison of original equipment, dimensions or touring features.

Kawasaki lists a 2015 Voyager ABS owner’s manual covering safety information, operation, maintenance and storage. It is a model-specific reference for Voyager owners; do not assume it is the correct manual for a Vaquero.

Which should you choose?

Choose based on the exact equipment and condition of the individual 2015 motorcycle, not on unverified assumptions about how the two models differ. The available official material does not settle the 2015 comparison for fairing and wind protection, luggage, passenger equipment, curb weight and dimensions, audio or communications equipment, or intended touring use.

  • Expanded size range fits a wide variety of older bikes and cruisers. Tread compound delivers excellent balance of mileage and grip.
  • Ask for the owner’s manual and any original sales or specification documents for the motorcycle being considered.
  • Check its VIN and model designation against Kawasaki’s model-specific parts information before ordering components.
  • Inspect the actual bike and confirm which accessories or equipment are fitted; a listing or later model description cannot establish what is on a particular 2015 machine.

Kawasaki’s current Voyager overview describes the model family as a fuel-injected 1,700 cc 52-degree V-twin with electronic cruise control and K-ACT ABS, along with a frame-mounted fairing, locking luggage, passenger comfort features, and audio and communications equipment. This is current-family context, not confirmation of the precise 2015 Voyager package, and it does not establish Vaquero-versus-Voyager differences for that year.

Likewise, Kawasaki’s 2025 Voyager ABS specification sheet lists 1,700 cc displacement, 107.6 lb-ft maximum torque at 2,750 rpm, a six-speed transmission, 28.7-inch seat height, 5.3-gallon fuel capacity and 895.2 lb curb weight. Those are 2025 Voyager figures, not specifications for either 2015 motorcycle.
