Here is a definitive Voyageur comparison chart, where you can ascertain the specs on the bike you're considering.

As the OP surmises, "black and red" indicates 80-82. Motobecane must have been breathing down everybody's neck with their handsome "black and red" color scheme in those days.

I don't think of Voyageur's as "regular." I think of 'em as very fine bikes from a "regular" company.

And then there's the World Voyageur!
