Honda XL 1000V ABS Varadero
Honda’s dynamic XL1000V Varadero reasserts its leading position
in the exciting world of Adventure Touring with detailed new
design innovations and ride quality improvements that significantly
enhance its impressive looks, its easy convenience and its
long-term riding comfort.
Honda XL 1000V ABS Varadero Features
The 2008 XL1000V Varadero comes loaded with a host of new
features that enhance its styling, convenience and long-term
riding comfort for longer years of crosstown or cross-continent
riding enjoyment.
New Instrument Panel
The Varadero's newly designed instrument panel features new
dial designs for a more attractive look and easier recognition,
and a new fuel mileage gauge that calculates remaining driving
distance based on fuel volume and current fuel consumption.
New Locking Side Pockets
For added riding convenience, the Varadero's cockpit now features
convenient new carrying compartments built into the sides
of the cockpit area, which help keep needed smaller riding
essentials within easy reach. As these pockets also feature
locking lids, the security of these essentials when parked
is also assured.
New Seat Shape
The Varadero's seat contours have also been carefully redesigned
for greatly enhanced riding comfort for both rider and passenger
over longer touring distances.
New Sidecover Panels
The Varadero's sidecover panels have been newly redesigned
for more compact and stylish shapes that also lend easier
access to hard-to-reach service points and other functional
parts.
New Tail Cowl Design
The 2008 Varadero also features a new, more sleekly designed
tail cowl, which tapers with smoothly rounded rear contours
into a large, fully integrated combination tail/stop light
and clear-lens indicators for a more modern look and enhanced
visibility from the rear.
New Tail Pipe Caps
The Varadero's prominent twin high-mount exhausts play a distinctive
role in its impressive Adventure Touring design. Now these
large stainless steel canisters receive a more cosmopolitan
look with new decorative form-fitted end caps, which provide
a stylish accent on the Varadero's intrepid go-anywhere design.
New Aluminium Undercowl
The Varadero's large resin undercowl has been replaced with
a more sturdy new aluminium lower cowl that enhances protection
of lower engine components while providing a more rugged look
as well.
New HECS3 Low-Emissions System
In keeping with the latest in environmental protection laws
and Honda's ongoing efforts to protect the air we breath,
the 2008 Varadero features a new HECS3 oxygensensing catalytic
exhaust gas converter system. This system effectively controls
engine operation to minimise the emissions of harmful gasses
and ensure full compliance with Europe's strict EURO-3 emissions
regulations, all while maintaining the top performance and
swift acceleration for which the Varadero has won renown.
New Colour Variations
The Varadero's new colour variations feature two-tone graphics
that exude a lighter, more luxurious image whether at stop
or on the move.
