We don’t know the story of this collection of Kawasakis from the 1980s and 1990s, but they’re mostly inline-six Voyager touring bikes with a few other models thrown in the mix. The seller has them listed here on Facebook Marketplace in Rockwall, Texas and they’re asking $8,000 for the whole collection, and you have to take all of 25 of them. Here is the original listing, and thanks to BCB42 for the tip!

I hoard or collect a few things, motorcycles being one of them. Although, not to this extent. Vintage postcards, vintage matchbook covers, lighted signs, and a few years ago, vintage Japanese cars and cars, in general. Without a big pole building like this, it was too much to pay for storage units so I sold almost everything but my motorcycles. I shudder to think if I had a storage building like this, it would be just this full I bet, maybe not with Kawasaki touring bikes, but with something.

The seller mentions that most of the bikes are Kawasaki Voyagers, which started out in 1978 as the Z1300, a DOHC water-cooled inline-six with shaft drive and 130 horsepower! It was a very nice touring bike, although you could get them “naked”, too. The model evolved over the decades, from the Z1300 to the KZ1300, ZG1300, and ZN1300. By 1989, they were discontinued. In 2009, Kawasaki came out with its first V-Twin touring bike, the Vulcan 1700 Voyager and they’re still made today. At 900 pounds, it’s a beast but is said to be a nice road bike. The new Vulcan 1700 Voyager is $20,000 so here’s a chance to get a bunch of vintage models for less than half the price of a new one.

The Voyager XII came out in 1986 and I believe the photo above is that model. It had a 1,196cc inline-four engine and is said to have been a much better-handling motorcycle. At 700 pounds, the original six-cylinder Voyager can be hard to handle, much like a Gold Wing, Harley-Davidson, or any other big touring bike. We don’t know the operating condition of any of these motorcycles other than the seller saying they have been sitting for 25 years, which is rarely a good thing. A fun fact is that starting in 1988, the Voyager XII was made in Lincoln, Nebraska rather than in Japan. They were made until 2003. The drawback is that they had a carburetor rather than EFI as the original Voyager had, and a five-speed transmission rather than a six-speed.

They mention there’s at least one enduro bike and a couple of sport bikes, like the Kawasaki Ninja as seen above. It’s a variety of two-wheelers but it mostly consists of the big Voyager touring motorcycles, along with who knows how many parts and pieces shown on the shelves. At an average price of $320 each, would any of you take on this collection to either sell them individually, part them out, or get a few of them back on the road again? It’s an $8,000 gamble but it could be a great deal if a few of them are in good condition.
