    If he's the marketing guy, that's spot on marketing.

    pleased to see he done it on a stock bike too.
    some sensible accessories like crash bars and a headlight protector, but good to see the suspension, engine, brakes etc needed no mods

    Must admit these days every time I see a vid of adventure riding it is a GS tractor - when will someone realise that they don't have to go down that route.

    this was the site I started with before spotting the VARA link - Armchair adventure indeed
    OneWheelDrive.Net

    Also the front page of this forum has a lovely pic of two VARA with TCK on and ready for adventure

    The Honda Varadero is not available in the USA, only in Canada ( North America).

    Hi all, I noticed this site on our incoming referrals at OneWheelDrive.Net. The Varadero Next Big Adventure: Expedition Peru contest is Canadian only, as the Varadero is only a Canadian model in North America. Still a damn cool campaign by Honda Canada.

    For a bit of "arm chair adventure" we've produced a Varadero based series touring Baja Mexico called Tropic of Cancer. The vids start here:

    Sorry if there's typos in the post, I partially sliced the better part of the tip of my thumb of yesterday servicing a bike yesterday and a bit whacked on pain killers.
    Cheers,
    Neil from OneWheelDrive
