The best thing, however, is that you can easily roll through those gravel patches you often find where farm tracks join country lanes.Ĭompared to its XR125L and CBR125RR stablemates a new Honda XL125 Varadero is overpriced to the tune of almost £1000 and £700 respectively and it’s hard to say it’s worth that much more than either of the other two. You’ll just have to put up with the bone-shaking journey, though, as only the rear pre-load can be adjusted. But those roads tend to have the worst surfaces, making the ride more important. That’s a pity, as the nature of the engine keeps you away from open A-roads and sends you on to twisty back lanes where you can just wind it up and feel like you’re making good progress. It feels softly-sprung, but over-damped, giving a ride that’s fine on smooth roads, but becomes jarring when the going gets bumpy.
The suspension is an odd combination, though. The Varadero 125's seat and riding position is very comfortable and not a bad place to spend a morning carving across town. The brakes work fine, but it pays not to get too ambitious.
