I drove a Voyager once and felt there was a lot of vibration in the handle bars. One reason I turned to an F6. Good quality through.

I agree that there were some vibes while accelerating through the gears, but it smoothed out nicely when at cruising highway speeds. After having 2 BSA Lightnings back in the 60's, I'm sensitive to handlebar and foot peg vibrations and I thought I could get along with it. Your mileage may vary.
I had a Vaquero before I bought the F6B.
Not a bad bike...I never got "in tune" with it like I did on the Vstar1300 or the F6B.
Sold it to a friend of mine, he really enjoys it.

2011 Kawasaki Vaquero (SOLD)
If you want a helluva deal on a Voyager or Vaquero, you can find new old stock at dealers for $5000+ off MSRP. I have only seen one on the road, ever. The Vaquero in particular is easy to spot with its fairing air intakes where it looks like running lights should be.
Comments on the Kawis here match what online reviews say. They are fine bikes, but do not stand out in any way, shape, form (except for maybe those aforementioned fairing air scoops).
A Voyager is just about the cheapest way one can get in a decked out cruiser/touring model with cruise control, ABS, stereo and storage.
Former Ride:

I test rode one before riding an F6B and the wife went with me. The pillion as is stock is a joke. Other than that, I didn't have many complaints about it. The B was just so much better in my opinion.
