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

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

As the most successful supplier of large-volume touring enduros, BMW has for years been highly successful in establishing the large R 1200 GS Adventure as the ultimate long-distance touring motorbike. Building on the driving dynamics and high off-road and touring competence of the conventional R 1200 GS, the Adventure represents the maximum solution for off-road touring riders. With its bulky fairing and 30-litre tank, the 125 hp engine has more to haul, but a high degree of agility is still maintained. Nothing is spared in terms of equipment, the big Adventure offers the full programme: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" are standard.

Powerful engine

relatively easy to ride

30 litre fuel tank

excellent ergonomics

stable brakes.

High weight

high price
