Hi,

I bought my '95 @ ("xyzzy") half a year ago for mainly one purpose: take me
all the way down to Cape Town at the end of '99.

I have to modify the @, bigger tank, alu cases, a sheep skin (;)), and I'll
have to cope with her weight, but I am absoluteley sure from the last
10.000km that we spent together that she won't let me down if I take some
care of her.

Looking at the new Honda model, I would not even consider buying it.  That
new bike is so different and so very much built for the faithful family
husband that I don't look at it as a successor of the @.  What could that
bike do better than our beloved @?

The varadero might be a good quality bike. But it's not of @-class.
