Superbike Honda Varadero 1000 XL1000 V/A Commercial

Superbike Honda Varadero 1000 XL1000 V/A
Honda's flagship Adventure Touring motorcycle, the XL1000V Varadero has a 996cc V-type two-cylinder engine Adventure Touring motorcycle. Honda introduced the Varadero to the public at the 1998 Munich motorcycle show. First launched in 1998 as a 1999 Model Year, its engine architecture is based on the Honda VTR1000F Firestorm/Superhawk. It was one of the very first of its type. Since, many have joined including the BMW R1150GS in 1999 and Suzuki V-Strom in 2002. The Adventure category refers to motorcycles that are designed for long-range touring with limited off-road capability (hence the term Adventure used by Honda as opposed to Dual Sport such as the Honda XR650L.

The first generation (1999-2002) featured an air-cooled engine. In 2001, Honda introduced its Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) essentially an immobilizer system not unlike those in automobiles.

In 2001 production of the Varadero was switched to the Spanish Honda-Montessa factory outside of Barcelona where the model continues to be built.

For 2003 the Varadero received some major changes. These included the move to fuel injection and the addition of a 6-speed gearbox and a new dashboard. These changes benefited the model with better torque and fuel consumption. In 2004, ABS was introduced, and although appreciation for this feature is arguable, it is now no longer an option in a number of markets based on Honda's safety commitment.

Just bought a used Varadero with 16K+ miles on it. Not as powerful as my previous adrenaline-pumping Suzuki TL1000 S, but much more comfortable for touring than the torture rack on two wheels Suzuki. And this will a bike to keep for long distance rides.

This advert makes no fucking sense

Quiet simply put, it's the one I spent 20 years looking for and from a Honda 50 to a 900 blade and all in between this works and will only be replaced with it's upgrade :-)

@ northwesten, so go buy a V-Strom 1000. Honda has demonstrated that they don't care about anything but cruisers and sportbikes in the US.
