I don\'t know whether these bikes are available in New Zealand
but the Honda Varadero has been recalled overseas for a
total engine replacement. Apparently there is a problem with
the Hy-Vo gear (whatever that is). In the UK 40 bikes were
affected.
For those who don\'t know anything about this bike, it is Honda\'s
latest super-traily. Power is provided by a detuned VTR1000
motor. As ugly as sin, but apparently it is very nice to ride. Although,
I\'m not sure I\'d be too keen to take it through Woodhill Forest.
