Voyager vs Nomad

redjay · 02-05-2012, 06:28 PM

I have a 2007 1600 Nomad and am considering the 2012 Voyager. I would like all input as to likes and dislike of the Voyager and any problems with it. Is the belt drive the better setup or did Kaw change because it is a cheaper way to mfg. Kaw says they have made changes to the 2012 model as far as the transmission and heat freom the engine. Is the stock seat comfortable?

Thanks, Hammer

The stock Voyager seat is one of the better ones, much better than a stock Nomad seat for me. The Voyager seat puts me too close to the tank. A Voyager is more cramped than a Nomad. If you and your passenger are not lightweights it is cosy and the Voyager trunk is not adjustable for position. If you are happy with your Nomad and it is low mileage I would say keep it and forget buying a Voyager.
