Subject: XL1000V Weight


     Hi Marco,
     
     I was effectively wrong, i compared dry weight of XL1000 and "Full" 
     weight of @.
     You raise the major problem i see in the XL1000, looking at the 
     picture it seems much broader that the @ and depending on the picture
     so huge !!!
     
     We'll look at the tests and when i'll test it by myself (sure i'll do
     
     ;);)
     
     Sorry for the mistake
     
     Philippe
     
     ************************************************************** Hi 
     atics,
     
     Who stated that the Varadero is lighter than the @? Believing the 
     official Honda data sheet (from the Intermot) the Varadero is 15 kg 
     *heavier* than the @!
     
     BTW: I had already a seat on the Varadero: quite comfortable, but so 
     *huge*. It feels more like a BMW touring bike ;-).
     
     Good feature: hydraulic tension adjuster for the rear suspension and a
     
     real comfortable seat.
     
     Anyway, I don?t like it and keep riding my @!!!
     
     Ciao,
     
     Marco
