General Comments

I too have ha a few 125s the Vara being my 11th. My previous bike was a Honda CBR125R and I was looking to buy something a little bigger originally a Honda CBF250 but couldn't find a new one to buy. I heard about the Honda XL125V, read a few reviews and I liked wat I saw. I was told by one dealer that the Vara would be too big for me ( he didn't have one in stock for me to try it out) so I went to another for a 2nd opinion. Yes, the bike is big, bigger than I'm used to being 5' 4" but I got on it and could comfortably touch the ground with my toes and push myself back. The dealer said if I can do that then it's okay for me to ride it and that's when I decided I must have this bike and purchased it, best thing I've done in a long time - love riding it. Also, since riding the Vara, I've gained a lot of respect from other drivers/riders on the road - they don't tend to pull out in front of you forcing you to emergency break or swerve. Well done Honda ! Maybe you'll bring out an XL250V model in the future.
