My copilot and I took the Varadero, A bike lost in the crowd. I would say not one person stopped and looked at it.
But riding it, it is brilliant.
It's €20k behind my departed 16 GSA but just a few meters behind it on the road.
The engine is a peach with loads of power, very smooth and no mechanical clanking.
The gear ratios are high with 6th a proper overdrive, this takes a bit of getting used to.
I always loved the Honda combined braking with the back operation 2 sets of front pistons. Great for touring not so good for gravel tracks.
Suspension gets on with it but BMW suspension is just so far ahead of the competition.
I would say there was nothing on the road with suspension and control like my 16 GSA.
