Varadero 125

[MASCARA]

Hi,

 

I owned a 11 years old varadero125. It is a VERY stable bike, no pickup whatsoever, but definitely good for city and town rides, forget about touring unless going at 90km/h only.

 

Parts are a little X since they use bigger bike parts like chain use Honda super 4 series .

 

Bike looks good ,feels good, , and very dependable since it is Honda, take care of it and will last you more than lifetime.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a 2nd hand vara xl125, will be getting my license next year feb, but hoping can start sourcing out for potential sellers.

 

As I'm a new rider, will not be familiar with a few stuffs, so please do be patient with me when i ask alot of questions.

Just have to get a clearer picture of what I'm getting myself into.

 

why vara? well, cause I'm a tall guy alil on the plus side. xl125 seems to be a suitable 2b bike for me.

Am currently commuting 20+km per trip to work, so getting this will be somewhat a comfy and cost efficient.

 

Any sellers preping to sell their xl125?

thanks alott

Hello to all...I'm humbled to be a Vara 125XL owner. Just got it a month back and just riding around. So far so good but maybe the pick up a little bit slow (maybe due to my size also; big fella here...almost the weight of 2 rider).

 

Just a question... my brake pads is making some screeching sound intermittently. Wonder what could be the problem...Both front and rear brake pads are new (just change abt 2 weeks back).

 

Anyway... you guys have a meet up anytime soon? Would be cool to just meet up and slack.

 

(The wind blowing in the face is a great feeling)

Guys i have a mainstand to let go for vara 04 to 07 onwards. Selling $130 negotiable. I also have a Givi mid screen to let go at $130. Pm me if interested, thank you.

Hi Guys,

 

I am currently taking my 2B licence. Waiting for my lesson 5 to come in another 2 weeks.

 

I am totally sold on getting a Varadero. However, I am only 172cm is the bike too tall for me? Will I need to tip toe all the way?

 

I am in my mid 30s and getting a bike is more for a weekend ride around. I am definitely not a speedster and I like quiet bikes. My aim is to get to class 2 and get a GS in the future.

 

Thanks.

Hi kenneth, welcome to the vara125 club. like u, im also bent on getting the vara125 when i was considering before even taking class2B. i had not seen the bike "live" till i passed my 2B. the first impression was "omg thats huge for a 2B bike". Considering my height only 1.66m, it does prove challenging at first.... once u accustomed to the height u will be alright. remb I ONLY 1.66M tall. hahaha so if i can, most riders would be fine with that bike. if not, just shave a bit of the seat.

 

Good luck to your 2B soon, wish u get one of the bikes available. not many alrdy....its a good bike.my first n only bike till i got my cls 2 bike. it can do wonders. just be patient with the power.

Echoing my good friend's feelings on this issue - my first and only bike until I got my class 2 - and oddly I still occasionally miss it.

Had the exact same feeling the first time I sat down on one - prior to buying it - "OMG IT'S HUGE". But it isn't, it's only huge compared to learner 125 bikes at driving school - and it's the perfect bike to start on if you are eventually targeting a large tourer / adventure bike.

I want to also add on to my friend's testimony.

He is a great rider. At 1.66 it's nothing for him

Lol enough guys for the ups... I still miss my vara even now....2 hatyai trips no sweat....just make do with the speed....in thailand n up u cant wack like u wan to....although u sure some pickup here n there. Dont care the skeptics abt the pickup ****up or heavy....u will knw urself when u own one....this baby tourer is worth getting to prepare urself for big stuffs....

[huairen]

Ups for Fatt!

[Kenneth_565]

Haha. Thanks for the replies guys.

 

What I think I will do is to concentrate on passing the tests and getting the licence first. No point trying the bike now or looking to buy one right now. Knowing myself I sure cannot resist temptations and want to "ride in carpark" then after a while, the carpark just seems to get bigger and bigger.

 

Also alot of my friends are saying that I am crazy, turning mid 30s just got a baby and now then go and take class 2b.

 

Mid life crisis maybe.

 

Hope I pass and can ride with you guys soon.

 

Cheers.

Kenneth,

 

age is just numbers. I also just turned mid 30s and just had my 2B. So what's the issue?

 

Can't agree enough that whatever it is, be safe on the road.

I've got a question guys. I just change Engine oil for the first time for my vara 125. The mechanic poured in 2 full bottles, so i guess that would make 2L of engine oil. And after that, somehow, i feel i'm loosing power on the bike. Its just been 2 days since i change it. Could any of you enlighten me of problem? Is it the engine oil problem or could it be something else. I use a motul 300V, 15W, 50.

To all vera rider happy chinese new year and happy holiday🐐🐐

Bro EO only 1.5litre. Your oil sump too much oil, likely cause of ur losing power. Also be sure to use correct oil grade.

[Dewamica]

ah ok roger that. Thanks bro... by the way, today i check my oil and it looks like very very low level... Any idea where it could have disappeared to? i check on my exhaust but no black smoke coming out
