I am looking top buy a Honda Varaero.
I live in Dubai so I went to the HOnda Dealer, unfortunately they do not have Varaderos. I do not know why. There are a lot of bikers in Dubai and similar bikes like VStrom , TDM900 and BMW GS1200 exists.

I thought about the VStrom but the looks are not as appealing as the Dero.

Finally the dealer agreed to import the Honda from Spain. A brand new 2006 model at around 11,000 US Dollars + Custom duty...

They also advised that they will service but they won´t stock spare parts.

Facts about me.
I started riding on and off since I was 11 and now I am 36.
In the past 5 years I got the chance to own a 1988 TDM850 and I loved it.
Now it has been more than 2 years since I had a bike.
I have developed a slight disc problem so I need a bike that is comfortable to ride

I will only ride like 5000 KM a year

I need the help and advise of current Varadero riders.
Is it worth the wait of 2 months and the extra $2,200 or shall I go ahead and hop on a new Vstrom?

Tell me about the Varadero how nice it is and what can I expect.?

Thanks a lot
