    Varadero Xl 1000

    Ok so here is one Glasses guide can't cope with....

    Varadero XL 1000
    Originally registered in Germany by an English guy who then brought it back to the UK orig reg was 01/01/1998 and then reg in uk 30/11/2007
    it is on an R Plate

    1 owner and then myself who bought it Dec 09
    Speedo in kilometers and has done 84400 km (52443 miles)

    MOT and Tax to November 2010

    Have put on
    Taller touring screen
    Givi Crashbars
    EScottoiler (the new one)
    Fender extender
    New Battery when bought
    New Gold DID chain and sprocket

    Tyres were new at MOT 2,500 imiles ago - Metz Tourance.
    Ohlin Suspension - fitted not sure when - can't comment on what it is like compared to other vara as I haven't ridden any.

    NO history sadly only have the dealers say so - he looked after it for local previous owner.

    Has full Honda colour coded luggage - one pannier the hinge is slightly sprained but closes ok.
    Top box has a few minor scratches (backed into a pebble dashed wall), scratches on edges of indicator both sides


    Reason for Sale mmmmm not sure as I love the bike, not long passed test and want to try other bikes - probably XRV as I cannot really do any off road. I also like the idea of a newer Vara where I can put alu boxes on and tour.
    Top image the day I bought it.... the bottom image is after crash bars

    It is hard to say with imports, especially as there is a UK version.
    The best thing to do is to find how little you need for it then add a couple of hundred pounds and hope.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    I know imports are always harder to price.
    I think it is worth £1950

    Advertise it at £2200 then and let the buyer haggle down to £2000.

    Hi no I haven't sold it. I did change
    tack a little and bought an AT to add to the stable.
    I would still be interested in selling it at £2k as per the discussion on the thread - if I was to put it on autotrader it would be on at £2,200
    regards

    Gary
