I wonder if Kaw is actually going to try to promote the new bikes? That website is really nice.

I like how when he is describing the Nomad improvements, he says "the passengers NOW have floorboards" as if that's new to the nomad. ::) Cool site though, Thanks CJ.

Don't feel that way. Makaw is making preparations (setting the table) for you before your purchase of a new 1700. ;)

Thanks for posting the site Cactusjack

I have a picture of the blue 1700 Voyager as my pc background at work. That's so I don't forget what I'm working for.

I'm a little confused as well as to why he makes it seem like previous Nomads didn't come with passenger floorboards.
Great looking website, and I'm looking forward to hearing how the new bikes are to ride.

Voyager is nice but...probably out of my price range. :-/ So, looking at the replacement for the Nomad....

In addition to the comment about the passenger floorboards, I love the comment on the standard KAW page "Convenient helmet locks located on the left- and right-side saddlebag guards"

I wonder who it is convenient to? ???

I do lust after certain items listed for the new Nomad. One thing I am not too sure about is they made the frame lighter and removed the drive shaft but the bike is heavier?

How will that affect the overall load?

I REALLY like the new Voyager, but after my accident, my left leg strength isn't what it used to be. I find my '07 Nomad is very heavy now. Don't think I want a bike that's any heavier than what I currently have. I'd like true cruise control, and maybe I'll add a trunk later, but I really don't need anything else the new Voyager offers. It's nice though. :^)

I like the instrument/gauge design on the fairing! Can't afford one in the next year but maybe in a couple. HD look out....this thing has image + substance!
