2006 Honda XL1000V Varadero
The mighty and majestic Adventure Touring Varadero opens up whole new
frontiers of riding freedom to give you the most far-ranging blend of motorcycling
enjoyment you've ever had the pleasure to experience. Powered by a slim, highperformance
fuel-injected 1,000cc V-twin engine and ruggedly outfitted for longdistance
expeditions over virtually any road you might encounter, the Varadero feels
just as strong and confident sailing down the motorways as it is exploring less travelled
backroads in your search for new adventures.
The Varadero's broad, protective fairing, progressive long-travel suspension and
comprehensive accommodations for two ensure exceptional riding comfort. And its
optional luggage system is a snap to mount, making longer trips as easy to prepare for
as pack, clip on and go.
The Varadero also comes 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 over virtually any road and riding conditions, and a much-appreciated boost in
operating confidence when roads turn nasty.
