I'm happy to have a Japanese 87 Voyageur. (I really like the clearly marked Japanese 86 Voyageur I've been commuting on for several years now.) I just thought it was strange that the two bikes were marked differently. It's quite possible that someone removed a sticker from the 87 bike some time in the last 25 years. But even just the fact that the two bikes have different badges...it makes me wonder about their decisions about how to market the bikes. Was there some point when somebody said: 86 bikes didn't sell as well as we'd hoped, so lets make the 87s less obviously Japanese... It would be interesting to know.
