1700 Voyager Review
I especially like the Voyager fairing...why make one that looks like a Harley?
If I had the bucks I'd have a deposit down for the first one.

of course the WING has built in GPS heated everything and rear speakers and controllers for the passenger.

That article said the classic boards were farther forward. Since they're the same frame I wonder if the boards can be moved.

1700 Voyager Review
As I noted in another thread, the 1700 Nomad seat is very different than the 1500/1600 seat. There is a definite slant forward on the back of the rider section along with a sharp incline in the front of the seat. This tends to force your groin into a valley of sorts. Now I'm 5'9" and 170 on a good day...and I feel crunched in after an hour or riding. I have to believe that it will be worse for larger riders. That being said, a nice Corbin-style after market seat, one that is dished out in the back, should solve this. An expensive solution for sure, but one that will make this excellent bike ridable for long distances.
