I'm totally with you on this.

And as for the name:
What the hell is "Varadero" anyway?

Hi everybody!

Alright, it's not an @, but it will be one.

Confused? Well, here's what I think Honda will do:
Produce the @ as it is for a certain time (my guess is one more year),
because why take it off the market while it's selling?

Then, bring out an additional off-road oriented version of the Varadero
for those of us who spend 99% of their time on the road but like the
idea that they COULD go off-road when they wanted to (put on some spoke
wheels, different tyres maybe, different colours, classic red, white &
blue for example,  whatever...) 

Oh, and a different name of course. How about XL1000 R? And maybe
Marakesh instead of Varadero?

But then, maybe I'm crazy...
