The Honda Varadero is a V-Twin.
So is the Hyosung GT-R series.

I've ridden the Varadero and it is massive!
And yes got plenty of raw standing power even as a 125cc.

This is the Honda Varadero.



And here is the Hyosung GT series:

Comet = Naked Version.
GT-R = Full Faired Version.

ive ridden the 125 and the 650 hysung, but the 125 didnt feel like a twin at all =/ and i wouldnt ride a varadero they look like guff getting called an Ewan mcregor wana be those kind of bikes are way off for me

[iserbil]

i would not quiet comare it to the Varadero, due to the varadero being a bit more heavy than the shadow, shadow =140 varadero= 180 ish i think...an so many kg's on a little 125 mages a hall of a lot difference...

I think you had better wear 2 hats!

[iserbil]

haha, no need to, as usaly i use my wool sweater and my russian ushanka and, tahts enough to keep me good and hot

[iserbil]

got a bit bored today, so i found a leftover power filter form a car project and decided to fit it to the shadow to see if i could get any more power or better sound...
but yeah, here is the result, gonna need some more piping,rubber and clamps to get it where i want, its NOT where i want now, its mosely to hear the sound...


i originaly wanted it to sit forwards but its lokking like i have to put it backwards, anynways i like the sound and air filter+strigh pipes means more flow! so with the orginal jets its not making it all the way up, its stopping at 3/4 aprox, so iv orderd 2x 82# and 2x80# jest, due to the shadow got 2 carbs, lets hope it runs like it should after iv changed the jets

il try to post a vid later today have to take a trip to the barn and do some feeding/cleaning/milking first
