Good Points

Its a gorgeous looking bike. Ive had so many people see it parked up and say wow what cc is it mate-looks about 600. Its funny when people says has someone stuck L plates on it for a laugh.


Bad Points

I did have one little problem riding in winter mainly in snow and heavy rain when deacelerating it would back fire like the exhaust blow up and sometimes cut out. The dealer said its due to it being a V-twin and the front carb got really cold. It hasn't done it for about a year now so im happy.


General Comments

The Honda Varadero XL125V 125 bike is spot on and I love it. The best bike i've had so far.
