Who has a Varadero?

[Mikeinajeep]

I have a 09/10 Varadero 1000 xlv and am looking for other people with one.
I am new to Varadero's and I have lots of questions.
Thanks
Mike
P.s. aways ready to go for a ride.

I bought an '08 a few months ago with 13,000 kms on it. So I'm pretty new to it as well and probably can't tell you a whole lot, but you're not alone..

I find it very similar to the Vstrom I had..

Only advice so far would be to drop a tooth on the front if you're going to do anything remotely off roadish.
If you do go down a tooth get a speedohealer, your speedometer is already about 5% optimistic and the smaller sprocket will make it 11% fast..
