Yes it's a Varadero 125
Bought it up in the Highlands and shipped it down here.
2005 and only 6000 miles on it.

Fantastic bikes the Varadero, ridden one and they're phenomonally good :woohoo:

Not ground-breaking power but it's plenty for b-road carving! :cheer:

Well done to him, did he enjoy being out in the boonies with Pops?
The end of the road is the start of the fun

My first geared bike was a baby vara.
Agreed, totally awesome bike.
Used it for my category A2 bike test.
The examiner wouldn't believe me that it was only a 125cc :)
A very sensible and capable bike too for the young 'un.
Well done

I met a frenchie on a vara in central Asia last summer, she was only heading from France to Japan though, she had a few electrical issues as well- the bike did have 140k on the clock though
