The Varadero's roots are the VTR sports bike engine but de-re tuned (Hondas quest to get better touring mpg) via softer camshafts and smaller carbs. If you want to regain most of the lost performance re fit the VTR carbs. The Varaderos gearbox be it a 5 or 6 speed box is irrelavent to fuel economy because the final rear ratio of 0.961 to 1 is the same. You just have more gears between first and top! The Varadero Bhp figures are 90 bhp'ish standard, but remember a 916 Duke only had 110 Bhp! Just google my Varadero and the fitting of VTR carbs. Feel the true power of the Honda engine. Regards Firedero.
