2009 Honda XL125V Varadero
 
Introduction
The vivacious Varadero 125 brings strong V-twin
performance, remarkable mid-sized comfort and whole
new vistas of excitement to riders in the 125cc class.
Day to day its agile, sporty profile is happy ripping
around town; yet it has the rugged suspension and
smooth, responsive handling to turn its wheels to
unpaved roads and rougher trails. Wide bars and a
commanding upright riding position facilitate a great
view over other traffic and make it a nifty runabout
and an enormously popular commuter. The broad, comfortably
contoured seat and effective wind protection are as
welcome in the daily commute as they are in weekend
adventures. Smooth, easily managed power and light,
stable handling make every journey a joy, while the
sound and feel of its powerful fuel-injected V-twin
engine provide an exhilarating soundtrack.
With superb legendary fuel economy and full EURO-3
compliance, the Varadero 125 adds up to an incredibly
versatile small-displacement package.
