Honda XL125V Varadero

Introduction

The Varadero 125 offers superb quality of design and execution with aggressive Adventure Sports styling and unbeatable versatility. In 2011 its appeal is broadened by the introduction of a new Pearl Siena Red colour version to the line-up.

Its fuel-injected four-stroke V-twin engine delivers strong power and quick acceleration, delivered smoothly via its rugged 5-speed transmission. Compliant front and rear suspension systems provide precise, responsive handling and a comfortable ride, whether nipping around town or chasing along unpaved roads and rougher trails.

The distinctive fairing has a light, aerodynamic form that integrates cleanly into its elegant overall styling. Its spacious proportions incorporate effective wind protection which combines with a broad, contoured seat for comfortable day-to-day transport and weekend adventures for one or two. Wide bars and a commanding upright riding position give a great view over other traffic, while the smooth, powerful V-twin provides a thrilling soundtrack. Both fuel consumption and emissions are low and its large tank provides for nearly a week’s worth of average commuting, or approximately 248 miles before fill-ups.

Always ready for action, the Varadero 125 offers ample comfort, perky performance, easy handling and unbeatable economy in the most stylish small-displacement package on the road.
