    Colours

    Ok I'm expecting a bit of a slapping over this but what the hell. I've always liked the RWB AT, the colours look good, however what ever posessed Mr Honda to put it on a Varadero I think it looks hideous the bike is totally the wrong shape.

    Please correct me if you think otherwise.

    Stand corrected mate!

    I think the Vara looks great in th tri-colours! If you ride something the size of an ice cream van I believe it should look like one! LOL!

    Seriously, I'd have one, I loved the tri colour @T and think it quite fitting to have a Vara the same.

    Ditto

    The only reason for having any other colour (with the possible exception of Black) is 'cos the RWB don't have ABS

    I thought the Red, White and Blue Vara looked pretty smart

    Not as good as Black though

    Are you nuts, you know your going to get a slapping.


    Personally I have mixed feelings, the one in the showroom at thunderroad looks just too big to carry off those bright colours and I look at it and shuder but when I have seen them on the road I do have a second look because I think ohh that's nice.

    So they look good when they are on the road as they should be
