Motorcycle specifications Honda125 VARADERO XLV 2010 A must for the 125
presentation of the 125 VARADERO XLV 2010
with the Yamaha TDR and Cagiva Supercity out of the catalog, only the 125 Varadero remained to defend the trail bike's chances in the 125 segment. A beautiful machine, expensive, rewarding, ready for the road, but a little heavy for its (excellent) little 8-liter V-twin. 6 years have gone by - it's time to revisit the Varadero.
and Honda hasn't missed a beat. The more elegant and aggressive design suits this new model very well. A touch of CBR 125 in the optics, Transalp 650-style shoulders blending curves and taut lines, beautiful CBF 600-style lights, a very nice, complete instrument panel - it's beautiful, sexy, complete; and what's more, it's equipped with PGM-FI injection.
like the CBR 125 version 2007, the engine now features fuel injection. That's the only change to this 15 hp mill. A very good engine that doesn't fall short of the mark, but with 169 kg of wet weight to tow, the twin-cylinder starts to struggle a little. You'll have to ride it like the old one: push it into the revs to get the most out of it. Let's be satisfied: the Varadero, with its fuel injection, is Euro 3 compliant and should improve fuel economy.
for a small (and heavy) GT à la carte, Honda's options allow you to prepare the Varadero for travel:
- A large 45-liter top-case designed to be installed on the original package carrier via a key-operated fastening system.
- A set of heated handles with temperature control.
- A center stand
- An aluminum handlebar trigger guard for a more adventurous look.
- A large resin boot to protect the engine from front-wheel projections.
- A U-shaped anti-theft device designed to fit easily under the passenger part of the seat.
- A preformed cover that protects the machine from rain and glare.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 64 reviews
Engine: so well maintained "indestructible", swallows kms and kms nicely without showing any fatigue, thanks to the liquid cooling doesn't heat up at all, its ideal speed 80-100 kms and in my case max top speed 125 kms, on the fuel consumption side when the warning light comes on reserve 530 kms with 17 lts (I drive peacefully).
Comfort: super comfortable and easy to handle, the only downside is that for long distances it's preferable to buy a comfort saddle. This summer I rode 850 kms south, and yes, the original saddle wasn't made for such a trip; I had to add LED bulbs, a gear indicator, warnings and a double USB socket. In short, if you're looking for a motorcycle to "ride", travel and "enjoy" the road over any distance, thanks to its versatility, don't hesitate: the Varadero 125 is the right choice! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Wika82
as a result, i don't want to pass on the A2 any more, because she loves long trips, and so do i. the maintenance costs are a real plus for small budgets, and you get very attached to it very quickly. the aesthetics (change: everything switched to led, 2 x usb charger, speedometer) give it the look of a 600cm3. it's like my wife: when you love her, she's the most beautiful... it's rugged enough to take me solo in the mountains (the alps), even at 80km/h max uphill, and I love it. as a 125cc tourer, you can't beat it!

you gain between 5 and 8 cm on each side, for my part the mirrors are in line with the outside of the left and right handles, the rods are about 160° from the horizontal

comfort, design, a bike that makes you look. it's top-of-the-range, white, with the tank covered in light gray imitation.
top case. 1300 kms done, it's top of the line Rating : 5/5 Respond to jjp
Sincerely Tintin Rating : 5/5 Respond to TINTIN
I'm often out with the big boys, and they're all surprised to see me sucking on their wheels, or even dumping them on bumps and corners. They're all unanimous in thinking that I've tampered with the bike: well, no! With the right bike and the right handling, you can work miracles.
Packed with options (Honda top case, heated grips, handguards, wheelwash, engine cover, rear-view mirror extension, Devil carbon pot, high bubble ... ), I'm proud to ride this bike: I'm really showing off!
In conclusion, this bike is incredible. Rating : 5/5 Respond to baboune
I had a 125 Varadéro...frankly, nothing to do with a "big cube". Now I ride a 650 kawa.
By the way, I took my driving test at 57 and got it right the first time.
All that to say: go for it, guys, don't be afraid, and you'll have the pleasure of riding a real motorcycle.
Unless, of course, 125 cm3 is enough for you. Baboune,128 km/h...I really can't believe it...but maybe....

j\'ai les plans je les fais Rating : 5/5 Respond to Titit38550
Yes, I can confirm that the mirrors pose a safety problem for the driver.
It makes you wonder if the person who designed them had to be 30 cm wide.
As for the bike, it's a very nice machine for a 125. Perfect for touring, even as a duo.
As for speed.... c\'is a 125.

Light wind at my back 130
I did 100 km, the tank didn't move just slightly
With the arbus which was a calf it was pumping

VERY GOOD HONDA Rating : 5/5 Respond to DIDIER
Heavy bike, nice look, but that's it, a real "calf". I was very disappointed by this machine and wanted to get my license
Now I enjoy riding a "real" motorcycle. Rating : 1/5 Respond to diato
I own a CBR Honda 125 CM that I'd like to change for a new Varadero. I've heard nothing but good things about it, especially in terms of reliability
My problem is that having been able to get on it, without trying it out, I haven't found a dealer offering a test ride! My small size means that only the tips of my feet touch the ground; I'm 1.65 m tall
I'm told that there's a lowering kit that would reduce the seat height by about 2cm?
Has anyone fitted such a kit?
Without this seat height, it's a bike that really appeals to me!
Thanks to anyone who can answer my question. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Petitbonh
Very low fuel consumption 3l/100
No need for a kit to lower it ... just re-drill the lower suspension bracket 1 cm lower.

Only happiness, for about 1000km / month. Equipped with Devil pot, top break, high bubble, heated grips (living near Lille, super) added Acerbis X-Tarmac hand guard (beautiful and effective). All this to say that it's a great bike, not greedy and not expensive to maintain. Rating : 5/5 Respond to CVIVI
the Acerbis X-tarmac handguards
mounted on a Varadero 2007 cad with fuel injection and the mirrors on the fairing ! With the bike in the Neiman position, aren't the handguards touching the mirrors? Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
ps: for info, if I had to change bike, well, I don't know, maybe between the Yam 125 MT, the Daelim RoadSport or a Vara, I'm hesitating.
Otherwise, the Vara is a machine to buy with your eyes closed, no worries. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Jack41
2012 model equipped with original top case, GIVI side cases, SW-Motech side guards, additional lights (Dafy), Travel Edition engine mount, tank bag (Dafy). Michelin Trail tires. In short, fully equipped for the long haul!
I always ride my Vara from 01/01 to 31/12, whatever the weather.
Always respect the 5-minute warm-up time before riding. No wild acceleration when cold. Tires warmed up in all weathers.
Honda-standard maintenance.
My Varadero returns this attention without ever flinching:
Range on charge 350km and 300 in duo.
Range unladen 450km, 400 in duo.
Top speed close to 125 kph on freeways, with a clear preference for speeds respected on main roads, country roads and country lanes.
The Varadero is not a racehorse, but a perfect walker for everyday use in any situation and for all-distance travel. For me, the Vara is a state of mind.
Already 48,000 km without the slightest worry or fuss.
and the respect of the purists around me, some of whom ride the big trails of the famous German, Austrian and British brands... Rating : 5/5 Respond to Shidesheng
And it's still going! No worries, the only major repair was the front disc at 98,500 km and the starter button that was stuck, which I had to change. Also at 98,500 km. And my fuel consumption? 3.3 l/100 km from the start. 60 km/day, including 40 on freeways and 20 on the Paris ring road. A pearl, my Varadéro! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Kisuisje
Over these distances, no breakdowns, no chain kit replacement, no tire changes, very economical bike.
Congratulations Honda. Rating : 5/5 Respond to fw2465
