The XL1000V Varadero comes loaded with a host of features that enhance its styling, convenience and long-term riding comfort for longer years of crosstown or cross-continent riding enjoyment.

Instrument Panel

The XL1000V Varadero's newly designed instrument panel features dial designs that offer an attractive look and easier recognition, and a fuel mileage gauge that calculates remaining driving distance based on fuel volume and current fuel consumption.

Locking Side Pockets

For added riding convenience, the Varadero's cockpit now features convenient new carrying compartments built into the sides of the cockpit area, which help keep needed smaller riding essentials within easy reach. As these pockets also feature locking lids, the security of these essentials when parked is also assured.

Seat Shape

The Varadero's seat contours have also been carefully redesigned for greatly enhanced riding comfort for both rider and passenger over longer touring distances.

Sidecover Panels

The Varadero's sidecover panels have been designed for more compact and stylish shapes that also lend easier access to hard-to-reach service points and other functional parts.

Tail Cowl Design

The Varadero also features a new, more sleekly designed tail cowl, which tapers with smoothly rounded rear contours into a large, fully integrated combination tail/stop light and clear-lens indicators for a more modern look and enhanced visibility from the rear.

Tail Pipe Caps

The Varadero's prominent twin high-mount exhausts play a distinctive role in its impressive Adventure Touring design. Now these large stainless steel canisters receive a more cosmopolitan look with new decorative form-fitted end caps, which provide a stylish accent on the Varadero's intrepid go-anywhere design.

Aluminium Undercowl

The Varadero's large resin undercowl has been replaced with a more sturdy new aluminium lower cowl that enhances protection of lower engine components while providing a more rugged look as well.

HECS3 Low-Emissions System

In keeping with the latest in environmental protection laws and Honda's ongoing efforts to protect the air we breath, the Varadero features a new HECS3 oxygensensing catalytic exhaust gas converter system. This system effectively controls engine operation to minimise the emissions of harmful gasses and ensure full compliance with Europe's strict EURO-3 emissions regulations, all while maintaining the top performance and swift acceleration for which the Varadero has won renown.ColoursBlack Eclipse Orange Metallic
