With elegant new styling and the top performance in Europe’s competitive 125cc beginner’s class, the new 2007 XL125V Varadero dominates the street with luxurious full-sized comfort, distinctive good looks and the dependable power of a newly fuel-injected V-twin engine to carry two with ease.
Offering spacious proportions and comfortable seating usually associated with larger motorcycles, and a unique Adventure Sports style that turns heads and exudes the confidence to tackle any road, the new Varadero 125 has been designed to deliver riding fun in a versatile, beautifully executed motorcycle.
The Varadero 125 debuted on the European market in 2001 powered by a quiet and reliable 4-stroke V-twin. It was an exciting alternative to the raft of beginners’ bikes and 2-stroke screamers that then dominated the class.
Its sleek, full-sized Adventure Sports styling also offered larger, more comfortable proportions than ever before seen on a 125. All this and more has attracted a large following of riders taken with the Varadero 125’s distinctive style.
Pumping out impressive power and strong acceleration, and tuned to deliver the maximum power permissible in its class, the Varadero’s slim and powerful liquid-cooled V-twin engine has now been improved with the smoother, more precise control of new electronic fuel injection. This system also achieves lower emissions and fuel consumption.
Appealing not only to novice riders, the Varadero 125 has proven to be especially popular among older, more affluent and experienced riders who can clearly see that its superior value and inherent quality of construction easily justify its higher price compared to other offerings in the 125cc class. Versatility and easy riding capability have contributed to its popularity.
The perfect choice for a wide range of riding needs, from top-class basic transport to thrifty and reliable commuting and even delightful week-ends of light touring for one or two, the Varadero now reasserts its place at the top of the 125cc class with sleeker style, smoother performance and sophisticated panache.
