    Maybe if we saw it in bright RWB colours or something it would be more attractive. Is the grey paint primer?

    That thing is pure beauty in it's self. If I had the money, that would be in my garage right now. It is what a bike should look like. it is pure bike porn.
    The only thing I would change would be the orange rim tape, but even that is alright with the correct paint scheme. I just wish Honda had the balls to make it themselves.

    i like the look but the thing must be a monster to try and ride, and weigh a ton!

    that isnt rim tape, the rims are orange along with other metalwork and the frame by the look of it.

    its not even a varadero, its nothing like my VA6 and if you look closely and look online at pics of 2001 varaderos, the engine, swingarm, forks, frame and wheels are all wrong.

    Wow, that thing is monsterously huge, ideal if you're 7 foot tall. About what size would those rear tanks be? I don't think I've ever seen any so large.

    I think a better paintjob would make a big difference.

    yes, i think its just plain plastic at the moment. good job he hasnt painted it yet, or the kit would be a lot harder to sell
