I cannot stress just how impressed I have been with my XL125 Varadero. I already owned an ordinary 125cc bike, which was OK as a commuter bike, But since buying the Varadero has become so much more fun. It's quick, reliable, Well built, looks good and is a full sized bike which at a glance cannot be distinguished from a 600cc or bigger bike. Most single cylinder bikes seem to suffer from vibration, not so with the Varadero, it's like riding silk compared to the rest. It will easily cruise at 60-65mph and when you lie in the tank will reach 70mph plus. What a bike!
The only bad point I can find with this bike is that I have to ride with L plates and one day I will have to sell it, having passed my bike test.

Anybody reading this review: If you are looking to buy a 125cc motorbike, make sure you test ride this bike before considering any thing else. The Honda Varadero is really THAT GOOD!
