Im thinking about buying a 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero and i'm trying to figure out what differences it has compared to much newer models. I heard ABS might've changed around 2018, but not too sure. Other than colors, they all look pretty much the same to me, anyone know for sure?
 
The 2015 Vaquero is pretty much the same as the newer ones, nothing major really, aside from color changes and some minor updates. ABS did get a tweak around 2018, but the engine and main features haven't really changed. If the price is good and it's in solid shape, it's still a great bike.

You're right, most of the changes are cosmetic or minor tech updates. If the 2015 runs clean and the miles aren't crazy, it's still a good pick. :)
