Can't really say about the Voyage as I've never ridden one. But, I've owned a similar scoot (an older Venture Royale and owned the original engine basis, the Z1).

That being said, and what I've seen of the machines, they are excellent rides. The ones I've sat on are slightly top heavy, but so was my Venture and it was no major problem once you are moving above a slow walk. The basic motor is rock solid and should give years and years of reliable operation. Just change the oil, watch the coolant level and ride. I understand that performance wise it is comparable, or faster than, my 1300 Venture, and it pumped out over 120 hp and motivated down the road very smoothly and with great rapidity. If I were in the market I'd seriously consider a Voyager with only 12K miles.
