Honda's sale info and specifications for the 125 Vara.

"Like its bigger namesake, the Varadero XL125V really looks the part of a world traveller. Built to larger proportions than most bikes in its class, the Varadero XL125V has a big, protective aerodynamic fairing. Powered by a smooth, 4-stroke V-twin engine, ready and able to bring it quickly up to speed. A big bike gives you a big image, inspiring you to use the precise control and easy handling."
