I have put over 1500 miles on one in the past 2 months... I think it's one of the best looking bikes on the market. The only neg is the bike retails for 17k or so... and it shows in the small parts and details. Mind you I am riding a Champion kit.
The Kaw in better in the turns than the GL 1800 and the harley. On the open road I like the 1800 best around town the harley and or the Kaw are great with the Kaw edging out the GL1800 in the turns. Gas mileage is pretty good at 36 or so.
Any thing else?
Notice any loss of power? How about ABS? Do rear brakes seem to be a little "soft"?

OK, so now I have had time to put a little mileage on the Voyager/Champion kit, (Put 6500 + miles on a coast to coast ride in July) and here is what I have discovered:
1. The trike handles perfectly with the E-Z Steer system
2. On my long trip, we averaged overall about 34.48 MPG
3. Trike handles great in the rain
4. Trike easily handles pulling a trailer 2 up
Negatives: Slightly underpowered in the mountains, but, then again, we were pulling a trailer 2 up. Did not have any real problems on the dragon!

Would I do it again? Yup. But, I may opt for a GW because of the larger more powerful engine, and shaft drive. That belt on the Kawasaki worries me.....
Nice looking blue on the trike, bet riding is nice in Cali this time of year
