I think I will buy a Honda

[DaveM]

The mighty and majestic Adventure Touring Varadero opens up whole new frontiers of riding freedom to give you the most far-ranging blend of motorcycling enjoyment you’ve ever had the pleasure to experience. Ruggedly outfitted for long-distance expeditions over virtually any road you might encounter, the Varadero feels just as strong and confident sailing down the motorways as it is exploring less travelled backroads in your search for new adventures.

I'd rather have a Tiger.

 

[DaveM]

It would have to be the 995 Tiger. I would love to have a dual with my Speedmaster but at this stage it is only a dream. A buddy of mine has one of these in his collection and he thinks it is the best. His brother riders the BMW and he said the Honda is better. They have been to all sorts of off the beaten track places up Africa together.

It says it's a V-twin but it sure doesn't look like theres a V-twin engine there???

I wonder why Honda would decide to go with a V-twin on this type of bike anyhow?

 

[Dilligaf]

I'd prefer a Tiger and Triumph's triple.

Actually, isn't that just a fancy version of the Honda Transalp? I know we only had it a year or two in the US, but it was a huge seller in Europe, and it is a V-twin.

 

[The Seeker]

I'm not sure I'd buy a bike in which I have trouble figuring-out how to pronounce the model name!

Oops, just found the link above. The Transalp is a 700, so it's a bigger version.
