Honda XL 1000 V Varadero 2007

Honda XL 1000 V Varadero 2007

Basically, the Varadero is as agile as its rider. Everyone is served fairly, and in the way they like it. Relaxed characters will also find pleasure in the English Lord style.

High speeds achievable

plenty of storage space available

relatively extensive fuel tank capacity

efficient wind protection

comfort

super dual-CBS braking system.

Easily becomes unbalanced when fully loaded and at high speed

Dual-CBS braking system counterproductive on gravel

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2019

The new Africa Twin has come exactly as fans expected: Well controllable, unagitated and a wonderful travelling companion. The fact that it also looks extremely good was a pleasant bonus. So there is no reason to fundamentally change the Africa Twin, what was good remains good on the new one - and much has been improved. Thanks to Ride by Wire, you can now also enjoy performance modes on the Africa Twin, and the traction control can be adjusted 7-fold (instead of 3-fold previously) and switched off. The optional DCT is still a big hit and a lot of fun, but it also costs a lot.

Reliable engine

comfortable seating position

well-tuned chassis

good looks

good brakes

optional DCT

performance modes

not quite optimal wind protection

no cruise control

ABS on front wheel cannot be switched off
