Sure, there's a 2012 edition in Honda's catalogue - ask at Boon Siew and start saving big bucks.

maybe some other bikes....additional brackets were used in place of the original ones. so i guess if u could make a custom bracket u could use any shields for other bikes

 

no andrei its not....me and fadz using that, definitely not same.

Hi, asphoon Ubi is selling theorange varadero 125 for $5800. It's a 2001 model with Coe extended to 2021. Is this price ok? Btw, what to look out for when buying a used varadero? Lastly, is varadero considered a scrambler? Does it rides like a scrambler with lots of vibration?

Its a custom made fabricated belly pan. Not sure where to get, my previous owner is very lucky as this is the only vara that fixed this bellypan

Usually there won't be a lot of Varaderos on the market, so you won't have enough room to negotiate, or compare prices. It seems a little high to me, I mean if I was selling my 2001 model with COE until 2022 for $5500 I would be happy - but then again, I'm not selling. Look for the usual stuff, how many km, look for rust on the exhaust underneath the bike (not just the endcan) - that part tends to get rusty easily on Varaderos in this weather. Check the front forks and the seals - are they leaking? They might do if they haven't been replaced on an old bike. What does it sound like? Can you bring a friend, a mechanic, etc? Even if you have to pay - it's well worth it, can save you a lot of $$$ later.

 

And lastly, no, it's definitely not considered a scrambler and on a well maintained Vara there is less vibration (even at max speed) compared to probably any other Class 2B bike. Definitely less vibration than whatever you used at your driving school. Varas are just heavier, better built, 4-stroke and have wider tires, so they are extremely well balanced and vibration-free.

By the way - I'm heading for KL tomorrow if anyone wants to join.
