Hi Jim,

Congratulations on selling your Vara! Sad to see such a good bike go for sure. I've always had a soft spot for the Vara and might yet get one, but the Jack of all trades Africa Twin is a great bike that I think would be hard to beat!

Agree Loggy mate, I've had a lot of brilliant miles on the Varadero and stand by my comment "it is the best value for money two up tourer on the market".
The Africa Twin is a superb bike, I'm on my sixth one now, over 100k miles on Africa's, just love my old XRV750 RD04.
The VFR1200X Crosstourer is a fine bike! Mind blowing in fact! And I think it's the logical step forward from the Varadero, although very pricey!
That Varadero in white is stunning, enough to turn heads for sure!

Hello Big Dave

I pick up my new white Vara on the 1st March and can't wait for my first trip. Could I ask what top box and mount you have please and what panniers you will fixing to the pannier bars I can see. Thanks Andy

Brilliant fun but in these days of austerity something more economical may be called for, but we'll see,,,,,, the NC700X has pressed my buttons,,,,, but,,,,, we'll see!

I feel you come across as a Honda man,but if your looking along the lines of the Honda NC700X,don't discount the Kawasaki Versys,it's excellent on fuel,mine regularly returns 220 miles from a 19ltr tank.Ive had mine for 3yrs and it's absolute stonker of a wee beastie,take one for a spin if you get the chance, you've nothing to lose.

Touring at its best, the French Alps, me, Fiona

Its not the bike you ride Jim....its the company you keep.

I love my 990 to bits but its the great people i have met and ridden with that have made the memories.

Ride safe my friend.

Thanks for your kind offer but having done some research last night I'm going to go for the E55 Maxima box and some metal panniers. Andy
