    It would be easy enough to get the decals made to replicate the Black @ .

    The RWB one looks great, but Ali boxes and an @ sump guard would finish the job..

    I'm sorry but I think it looks hideous, it's even uglier then a GS.

    Agree, looks great but the boxes are a bit bland.

    Spoke to Steve T about this today, I'm not so sure about alloy boxes personally, look like something out of a canteen!

    Noooooo! Not in Green!

    Sorry John!

    Grants family reserve getting gobbled up tonight, change from Grouse, £14/litre from Asda!

    Agreed though, reminiscent of the @T with that colour scheme, hopefully Honda will come up with something this nice for us in the future.

    That pics of a AT coloured Vara makes me wonder why all Varas have so boring colours. That makes the bike looks atleast 20kg lighter. Is this bike meant to be old, dark and graceful?

    Just like RWB Africa Twins, I bet that is the fastest Vara there is?
