2009 Honda XL1000V Varadero XL1000V

Model Description

A 2009 used Honda XL1000 Varadero with part service history.

This would make an excellent winter hack.
Using the 1000cc v-twin motor from the VTR, the Varadero gets ‘adventure’ clothes such as long travel suspension, 19 inch front wheel, basic crash protection, high pipe, wide bars and somewhat off-road capable tires. The side mounted rads also come over from the VTR, but not the power, with the motor getting a thorough detuning down to a claimed 94 bhp (@7,500 rpm) with a maximum torque of 72 ft-lb (@ 6000 rpm).
