It's bigger more comfortable and has better accesories. However Harley has a cooler clothing line. You can't wear a Harley shirt and jacket and ride a Metric Cruiser. So you have to make a decision, if you want to look cool at the bar you have to ride an Inferior bike. I'll never be concidered Cool anyway so I'll just keep rideing bikes that fit my needs.I Love My Vulcan. I’d rather have the Voyager. It’s bigger more comfortable and has better accesories.

The Kawasaki lists for $4-$5k less than the Ultra Classic. In fact, right now you can find brand new 2009's for $13,000 Seems all the HD fans are forgetting one thing – $$$.

It's nice, but not for touring and it's really not that nice to ride over about 60 mph. I am looking for a big engine with lots of power, smooth, rock-solid ride at 80 mph on the highway (like a BMW I want it to feel and handle like I'm doing 40), super comfortable passenger seat, and a decent amount of storage space. I want it to look cool, and honestly I think Harleys look the coolest, but I am not going to spend the money to have the absolutely coolest looking thing on the road. To do that for me would prob cost around 30k. I don't really like fairings, but looks wise, they seem to go better with the touring seat/trunk/backrest better than the windshields. However, I am seriously also looking at the Road King classic with similar touring seat. Most likely I will end up buying a Voyager in a year or two -- prob. three year old model, low miles. If the extra money for the Harley gave me more that just being a bit cooler looking (and i bit more stable resale value), I might spend it (or if i just happen to have some extra money to throw around). But the reality is that's all I would get for the extra money -- cooler looking and a bit better resale value. I ride an old Yamaha Virago 1100.

The hardbags are shaped nothing like Harley sidebags, nor does harley produce a 1700 engine. The new Kawasaki 2000 LT will probably be a voyager next year. Does Harley produce a 2000cc motorcycle ? The answer is no! and probley never will unless they copy Kawasaki. Ride what you want, Its all about the ride. In my opinion the this bike looks nothing like a Harley.
