... wasn't the case, as the ones I found were around the £7,300 mark. After looking long and hard, I managed to secure a good deal, purchasing a new 'Y' Reg, Australian Import from a local dealership, for £5,600 on the road. From the moment I rode out of the showroom, I've had nothing but pleasure from my bike, notching up 7500 miles in the 1st year. The meaty twin pot Firestorm engine makes light work of long liesurely rides out with her indoors, yet allows me to keep up with the boys on those lads outings!?! Des...more

Express Review on Honda Varadero XL1000V

I have owned my Varadero for 7 months and it puts a smile on my face every time I go out on it. In the dry it's great in the bends, needs respect on the wet. Fuel about 35mpg depends on how you ride. It is a big heavy bike and tall in the saddle, but agile on the road and great road presence and comfortable. Put a smile on your face. I did.

The mighty Varadero doesn't seem to have won many friends in the UK (Unlike Europe), but I recon it's been wrongly written up by the so called 'know it alls' of motorcycling. At 6' 3" & 18 stones, I was looking for something big & comfortable, which would carry me & a pillion for many hours at a time. Love it or hate it, I recon the Varadero is a top machine & fell in love with it at 1st sight. Considering that they're not selliing well in the UK, I expected to pick up a nice cheap bike from a UK Honda dealership, but that wasn't the case, as the ones I found were around the £7,300 mark. After looking long and hard, I managed to secure a ... Read the complete review

Honda Varadero XL1000V: THE most confortable non-touring tourer! (119 words)

XL1000 Varadero is THE most enjoyable motorcycle I've had the pleasure to shoehorn my ample backside into for years. Its not a pocket rocket nor a full blown monster tourer. It is a bike I can ride for 8 hours+ a day without having to pre book a chiropractor before hand. The finish is Honda perfect and after 12,000 miles it still polishes up like new. Top speed is about 125mph but its real strength is low down torque, it can pull better than Russle Crow in the Newcastle Big Market. Two up with full luggage does take its toll with the bike squatting a little because of its under sprung rear chassis. All in all, I'll have another without hesitation. ... Read the complete review
