Defo the Varadero, I had one for 12 months, a 52 plate.
I much prefer the older style, much more beefy looking than the new ones. It was pretty qiuck too. I took it on a few adventures before getting my BMW. A cracking bike.

Hi

my first 125 was a varadero and it is a great big 125 but expensive compared to other 125's.they hold there value well and resell at good prices...mine did....i now have the big varadero 1000cc and it is great...very under rated bike...as so many go with the bmw's which are great bikes but expensive even secondhand.no running problems with the varadero when i had mine butit is a honda and they have such a great track record. usually it is bad owners and poor maintaince is the reason bikes have problems...just check it has decent history with it as there are a few scabby ones around.hope this helps

Varadero for me too.
When I passed my test I would have kept it if I could have found a way to put a bigger motor in it!

Well this thread's a bit of a blast from the past! I never did save up enough money for a Varadero though...

How about a Derbi Cross City 125. I've seen quite a few here in Spain and they look the biz . . .
