Per VINdown's modeling, the Kawasaki Vlcn 1700 VQR retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #478 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 5 points above the 63% five-year average for Standard in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kawasaki Vlcn 1700 VQR sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $19,999 it falls to around $13,499 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,500, about $3.56 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Kawasaki Vlcn 1700 VQR bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
