Me and my husband bought one Varadero each this summer. It is a fantastic bike. We use it for travelling around in Norway, and the rest of Europe. We also have 2 Honda CBX1000 Z from 1979, and 2 Honda CB750 four from 70/71. And we decided that the Varadero´s should be the touring bikes, and the old ones just for show. We have had som trouble with them - on 3 gear around 3500 rpm , the are both running unsmoothly. So at the moment they are at the dealer to be fix. But that doesnt matter, because we have around 30 cm with snow at the moment! Have a nice christmas!
