2005 Honda XL1000V Varadero
Honda's class-leading Adventure Touring flagship,
the mighty and majestic XL1000V Varadero, opens up
a whole new world of riding frontiers to give you
the most far-ranging blend of motorcycling enjoyment
you've ever had the pleasure to experience. Powered
by a slim, high-performance fuel-injected 1000cc V-twin
engine and ruggedly outfitted for long-distance expeditions
over virtually any road you might encounter, the XL1000V
Varadero feels just as strong and confident sailing
down the motorways as it is exploring less travelled
backroads in your search for new adventures.
Its broad, windbreaking fairing, progressive long-travel suspension and
comprehensive accommodations for two ensure exceptional riding comfort. And the
XL1000V Varadero's easily attached optional luggage system makes longer trips as
easy to prepare for as pack, snap on and go. The XL1000V Varadero is also available in
an ABS version that complements its responsive Dual Combined Brakes with the
confident control of the world's most advanced motorcycle Antilock Brake System for
smooth and swiftly effective stopping control in virtually any road and riding
conditions, and a much-appreciated boost in operating confidence when roads turn
nasty.
