As Honda’s majestic Adventure
Touring flagship, the mighty Varadero extends the outer
boundaries of riding enjoyment with world-roaming performance
and comfort. Now totally upgraded for 2003, the new Varadero
delivers greater than ever two-up touring enjoyment and
an all-round boost in useful performance.
Its torquey 1000cc V-twin engine features a new fuel injection
system for top power, more responsive performance and dramatically
lower fuel consumption and emissions, while its new 6-speed
transmission provides a comfortable gear for every road
you ride. Even its suspension systems have been reworked
for more confident control when riding fully loaded with
passenger and bags, while its proven Dual Combined Brake
System provides a smoothly confident balance of braking
control.
And with a sharper new look given to its windbreaking front
fairing, the new Varadero projects a more aggressive look
of speed to go with its more impressive range of performance.
When far horizons call, count on the new Varadero to take
you there in worldly style, and bring you back again in
refreshing comfort.
