The Varadero sold well here, I had 2 of them, brilliant bikes
Had a Crosstourer DCT too, they are generally overlooked, maybe due to the styling, a bit like the NT1100 which is certainly a great bike but just looks bland
Yet the pan sold well as did the deauville which was heavy for a 650. I’m not sure if the NT could be classed as heavy but it seems to sell well. Honda seem sometimes to miss. Vfr 1200 tank too small. I think that held back sales. JJH
I had a Parade round too. Toured Europe a couple of times on it, 2 up, full luggage. GPS logged us at 96mph on the autobahn. That's exciting enough for me!

Does my headi n.I think autocorrect just bit you
Varadero. Loved it.
I have a 2013 Varadero and love it now i removed all the crap and changed the exhausts to take a fair bit of top end weight off of it. I nearly sold it earlier in the year, but im happy i did'nt, and removing all that weight has made it a better bike for me.
The weight of the Varadero is the same as my 1250RT, but the RT weight is low down.

Yet in the real world outside of UKGSER blinkerdom, the NT1100 has been a big seller .
You do know that Honda is global....that there are dozens of far bigger markets for bikes than the UK?
The Varadero sold for 15yrs....someone must have been buying 'em.
(The UK has 5k Hondas for sale on Autotrader, MCN has 1700 hondas for sale....the big sales platform for vehicles in France has 27k Hondas for sale.....(Germany has 26k and Spain has 46k))
Our market has been panned by legislation and barriers to stop the young becoming interested; there is'nt the numbers anymore compared to European youth.
Pretty sure very similar legislation exists here in France for A1/A2 etc...but I wasn't getting into the whys and wherefors of buying bikes...just that the previous poster had a somewhat blinkered view of a global brand and Britains bikers place in that branding....
The ECU died on mine because of a fault in the loom. It was uneconomical to repair at dealer prices. Part exed it for the NT which is a bit lighter but carries its weight lower. I'm 75, so that difference matters! But I loved that bike, its motor was a thing of beauty.

Now’t wrong with Hondas
Ive had Varadero,s Cross tourers, and I think im one on the only people to buy a Crossrunner LOL all great bikes as is the NT1100 My son in law has one and simply loves it, he is looking to trade his in for the Blue one now but is waiting for prices for the manual with ES if thats going to be an option, these could have sold really well in other countries as has the X-ADV 86K units according to Motobob just not a lot in the UK although Ive just ordered my 4th LOL

Looks like a good replacement for my ATAS. Not sure how Honda justify the 5K price differential for a 2025 ATAS with electronic suspension, panniers and DCT.
