Kawasaki VN 1600 Classic Tourer 2007

Menus

Kawa’s big custom GT takes advantage of the overweight of its friends’ engines to invite itself into the big twin club. After the 1600 VN Classic and the 1600 Mean Streak, the Tourer is also upgraded to a higher displacement and now displays 1552 cm3, i.e. 82 cm3 more than its previous version.. This imposing and classy custom is even more cut for the road, with still the large windshield, the side bags, but also and it is new (standard) the sissy-bar and handles for the passenger. Big couples to travel as a couple, you are tempted ?!?

The scraping of the footrests, the beating couple coming out of the guts of the twin, the braking limits when approaching a bend … Could we be riding an Italian Hypersport? Not really – Exactly the opposite: at the controls of the largest vessel in Kawasaki’s road fleet.
Take-off time is approaching; and while the passenger swallows the facade, we contemplate that of the VN 1600 Tourer: imposing, long, well finished, the VN “cruiser” flatters you, invites you, wants to take off. His suitcases are just waiting to accommodate the luggage for the week of cruising, the orders are tasted in the velvet, and the template encourages you to quickly get out of the city. Such a machine needs to breathe the air of great escapades. Perhaps it would have been necessary to take the intercom to talk with Madame about the route? Broutille! The large plexiglass window in front of the pilot allows quiet discussion until the 1600 has engaged on the national road.

What more do you need to savor the road ahead? Perhaps a cigar, or a smile from the Miss sitting behind. A glance in the retro and here we are full of enthusiasm. The joy that can be read on that sweet face embellishes the afternoon. Madame can be happy: the place offered to her is of choice. Good seat, steps as long as shoes, remarkable grab handles and sissy-bar that holds the back well, the trip promises to be beautiful for everyone.
Under the large 20 L tank, the 12 mkg available at mid-speed easily pushes the 375 kg of the beast (uh, well, a lot more with the 2 loustics on board). Its mission: to wrap around the couple – ours: to enjoy it. Are you tempted by a touch of madness as you approach the mountain bends? Forget. the width of maneuver on the angle is frankly reduced. We lean a little, it goes – We lean medium, it’s the sparks under the feet – The option ‘we lean a lot’ is prohibited in the program, under penalty of continuing the road in balance on the crash bars … and the rest to fly into the embankment. No, be less generous and focus on braking. The double front 300mm disc will quickly call for help. Use and abuse the rear brake to slow the Kawa Tourer down, and think that such a motorcycle drives smoothly..
