About The Bike Subsequently hearing to the requests of existing clients, Honda demands it wanted to give the bike more practicality and comfort. It went about achieving those goals by primarily trading carburetors for fuel injection, adding a sixth gear, altering the suspension, and changing the size and shape of the bodywork. The style of the new Varadero isn’t too other from the old bike, and only a closer inspection will reveal the changed contours of the top fairing and side panels - which to be honest, don’t exactly make the big trailie any easier on the eye. But the sight of the big, bulky, and let’s face it, less than attractive Honda shouldn’t put you off choosing it too much. Because as soon you get on it and ride, the fat disappears immediately and the Varadero loses its frog-like status to become much more of a prince. In fairness, it takes a while to fully appreciate the Honda’s numerous qualities. It’s not the sort of bike to grab you by the horns and shake up your exhilaration glands immediately, the endearment takes a little longer than that. But when that happens you realize that though it’s not too sexy, the Varadero is in fact a very real, useable, and comfortable tool. And on that very basis is worthy of a fair bit of praise. As a bit of a shortage I initially felt a bit intimidated by the bike’s height and size, and I pondered over whether I might need a step-ladder to get onboard the thing, or suffer a nose bleed once I’d got there. But apart from having to believe where to park it, for fear of not being able to back it out again (thanks to too short a leg, and no foot traction), the Varadero turned out to be very easy to manage. It's a beautifully balanced bike and pooling round town turned out to be a piece of cake, with the tall riding position actually paying dividends by offering a great view over the traffic, allowing a more predictable passage. Comfort was another virtue to note quickly. The riding position is very rangy and relaxed, and the seat broad, soft and supportive sufficient to suggest longer stints will not be an issue for your limbs. And as high speed dashes along a motorway proved, neck muscles won’t be overworked thanks to the very sure fairing and screen which can be adjusted in height. In its standard position it was good sufficient for me to cruise at 110mph without needing to tuck in too much. And that would be the same story for more gangly riders if they raised it the extra 50mm. Though it should be added that doing that takes a few minutes armed with a screwdriver. |
