Oh dear...

....Those lovely chaps at Kawasaki appear to be making a new Voyager:

I don't want one, obviously.

 

FMOB! It looks like an Electra Glide on acid.

I would hope not.

 

In an old-geezer-wants-a-reliable-Hardly-lookalike [1] way, it's not as
bad as I feared. I suspect they've very carefully aimed this full on at
the target market and might sell a few.

Very retro styling - reminiscent of Vetter and Someshite of the 80s.

[1] Not me.

 

As HD have picked up their game in the technical stakes I would have thought
the Real Thing would be more interesting and for the more educated, Victory
offers something even <cough> nicer.

 

Suits you sir.

 

when are you going to break the "coming out of the closet" news to
your wife?

I mean, she must at least have an inkling, given your previous VMax
ownership, dodgy cum-absorbing beard, drizabone duster coat etc. but
this would really be a final give-away.

 

"World's first Japanese dress tourer"

Wouldn't that be "Japan's first" then?

Oh, and 73PS? FFS! 1700cc, weighs about two tons and can only manage
such a pathetic output. It's like it's been designed for sad old
gimmers who specifically want something to avoid any possibility of
anything approaching "performance".

Oh, of course. It _has_ been designed for sad old gimmers who
specifically want something to avoid any possibility of anything
approaching "performance".

 

That is fucking gay.

I'm not surprised - that's minging.

 

They go faster downhill ...

Kind of like the recent Yamaha Venture, except you can see over the screen.
