Kawasaki model ZG1200. This example is the first year of the 4 cylinder inline engine. A full dress touring bike, the Kaw was highly regarded for it’s speed and value. MSRP was significantly lower than any other tourer available at the time.
Simply because it was cheaper didn’t mean it was not full featured. 4 speaker stereo, cruise control, fully adjustable air suspension and full fairing were standard as were detachable saddlebags and adjustable top trunk.
The 1196 cc motor made great power, rated at 97 bhp. The adjustable suspension let it be a very good corner carver until you ran out of lean angle. The Voyager was lighter (though not light) than any of the competition at a mere 720 pounds (published dry weight). Made the low speed handling extremely good in the class. 6 gallons of gas gave it near 200 miles of range.
This particular example has less than 20,000 miles on the clock. If you are interested in entry level budget touring you could do much worse than this bike.
