If you liked the likes of the old Transalp or Africa Twin but felt some extra touring-oriented features were missing, here's one of the answers to your plight. The 2008 Varadero, a liter-class v-twin bike which can tread both asphalt roads and forest trails, carry lots of gear for longer journeys and plenty of fuel for more riding and less gas station stops.
Long travel suspensions, powerful brakes, a bulletproof engine and light handling, the Varadero is a bike created for those who won't look back as they leave the sealed roads behind.
