??? So driving past Honda Cape Town last night we see the new Vara in their showroom window.... and the wifey says... mmmmm we gotta look at that one!
So this morning I do that thing.... and must say - VERY impressed indeed!!! :'(
Now problem arises... I have ridden the 1200GS & GSA... and have a good idea as to what the ride is like.... and must say I am very convinced. The Vara however is really good looking.... but what does it ride like compared to the GSA... ?
Honda says they sell so few of them... they do not have a demo-bike... so I can look... but no ride?
At nearly R40k less than the GSA.... and more stock available than Beemer... and so far "no engine blowining issues".... (soz Davey) ... methinks a relook may well be worthwhile..
Can the WD's please offer opinions... or is there perhaps a kind hearted soul that would allow us to get a feel of one... :-[ ...
