2008 HONDA XL1000VA Veredaro

Every time you get on a bike, it's a personal challenge. Doesn't matter where you're going or who's watching. All you care about is that your bike is as ready and as able as you are. The Varadero XL1000VA is a serious machine. It's as at home on the mountain switchbacks right across Europe as it is on the most out-of-the-way-how-did-I-get-hereboy- am-I-loving-this knotted, twisted, gnarled road you found one lucky Sunday afternoon. This bike is only available at Honda Powerhouse Dealers. And it's ready to take on almost any adventure that lies around the corner or is plotted in your GPS.

Places you only dreamed about riding are now within your reach. And you suddenly have the perfect excuse to bond with old friends. Honda has the adventure bikes, the gear and accessories, and even some epic recommendations of places to point your compass. All you need to do is get yourself in gear and get out there.
