@@TS50ER AWWW ?! yep, i'm literally gonna buy it now, i already liked it for being a Honda, Heavy and badass, and by you telling how reliable it is, i'm literally into it now The only thing i'm disappointed about is, not being able to do off roading such as sand and muddy terrain I'm gonna buy one that has 100.000km and it's from the 2000s, is it good to go for it ?
@@yacinealg152 , Don't be afraid of high mileages on these bikes. Look at the condition of the bike rather than the mileage. The 1990-2002 are carburetor models and a five-speed gear box. From 2003 onwards, the bike got fuel injection and a sixth gear. My bike is a 1999 with 125,000kms on the original clutch. I am always reaching for another gear on freeways, and I am sure the sixth gear makes for better cruising. I wouldn't take the bike off road beyond unpaved road or flat gravel. They are thirsty beasts, especially in city traffic. Weak points: cam chain tensioners. The original unripped regulator/rectifier is prone to malfunctioning (but if you are buying a 100,000 km bike, I am sure that it has been swapped out by now.) The fuel pump points need replacing every 50,000 -70,000 kms, just a simple replacement with one solder needed. (way cheaper than replacing the whole pump. As I said, with regular maintenance, there is no reason the Varadero, like it's relatives, the Transalp, and Africa Twin, would not run until the earth rotates ff its axis.
I had the 125 version back in the day... and i could be wrong but im fairly sure that rhe 125 version came with a centre stand as well as side stand as standard. To be fair it was 125 but bigger than a lot of 600 at that time so it came in handy especially when I had the top box on. It was a great bike the 125 it got 15hp and would do 70 with no problems and 80 on the flat used it to go to work, even went from essex to Scotland to see my girlfriend a few times.
@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 unfortunately, no, a guy took it from me 10 minutes before me, he also came from a different region, that was the unluckiest moment i lived in that month, it was a Varadero MK1 with 34.000km on it Because now the Varadero price went up, but still, i will look for another one, i found a red MK1 with akrapovics but with a very high mileage, the other is stock but it's a MK3 with 75.000km which is kinda expensive compared to the MK1 I'm still thinking of the MK1 since it got a carburators that is able to survive the low quality fuel and the simplicity Here is a video of the Varadero i was gonna buy ruclips.net/user/shortsNXj9zsg-zbA?feature=share
Truimph where awefull back then and where for a long time! Reliability!!! Electrics!!! Lots of mechanical issues too! Upto and beyond 07 ! 90's upto 2005 truimph? Forget about that ! Go honda !!!! Always honda !!!

@@yacinealg152 Now its 750k and counting. Still same engine.
Got one! Great bike!
very great bike, I have exactly the same, I recomand the Varadero for every time use.

+atillaadn normaly, yes, the mine is 03/99 it's have the dual CBS
I absolutly love mine.

Just bought one.
I have try a used one today ... love it ! looking for buy it !
Nice...old tv shows are the best
He's right but the presenter's pre-Long Way Round comments about it being too big to off road made me smile.
+OldPink1982 they used bmw gs bikes on that.
+richardfld yes - which are bigger still, hence my comment!
I don't remember long way round don't any off rd. Some gravel and bit of surface mud maybe.
Vtr1000 engine, same cam chain tensioner grenades, fit a manual one before the OEMs fail.
Not a problem on these.
I'm looking at these. I already have a Tiger. I fancy one to go next to it. Just because I can.
2021 best moto
Gloves on at the petrol station??!!
How do you pay with gloves on??!!
It’s good that the full cap come off, less mess without a hinge.
I'm about to buy one
Did you buy it?

Rochdale! Awefull area! 😂

Change the oil every 3000 miles and that Varadero will be good for 200,000 miles.
But what type of oil ?
@@yacinealg152 , any good quality oil will suffice, oil viscosity will depend on your riding climate.
@@TS50ER oh, i live in north africa, so it might be not balanced
Even my 1984 honda cb125rs had a fuel gauge.
Güzel faydalı paylaşım için teşekkür ederim 👍👏👏👏🇹🇷🏍🇹🇷

Drinks fuel like a fish.
