     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 donīt like it and keep riding my @!!!
      
     Ciao,
      
     Marco
