Just incase your wondering about this Bike,
It looks like this
There is a SIte:-

its in german so u need to use astavista to translate german to
english
anyway this guy was reviewing the bike...
and this is what he wrote:

Into the Varadero 125 the same V2 engine comes as in the 125 Shadow
with an easily changed tuning to the employment, the liquid-cooled
engine by modern technology is steered. The two independent,
digital cycles of the CDI ignition supply each of the two cylinders
individually with a tension-strong and precise zuendfunken for
cultivated achievement development and at the same time for a
reliable electronic overturning protection starting from 12000
routes.
The maximum torque of 10,7 Nm is only reached when 9500 revolutions
and the leistungsspitze by 15 PS/11kW with 11,000 routes, but even
in the lower speed range the Varadero can be moved without jerking.
The torque curve shows that between 7000 and 12000 U/min a torque
of over 8,5 Nm at the crankshaft lines up. That is compared with
other 12ërn a very tidy value. Design conditionally by the
90°-Winkel of the two-cylinder practically no vibrations are
noticeable. Quiet humming of the handles is a good indication that
the noiseless engine runs; these vibrations are not annoying. The
necessary high numbers of revolutions do not decrease thus by any
means the comfort of the driver. The sound of the Varadero engine
is pleasant: For the driver pleasing quietly and nevertheless
surprisingly fully and almost sonor.
The afterburning system provides for low pollutant emissions the
small air Injector units sits directly in the cylinder heads and
leads fresh air into the discharge opening channels behind the
exhaust valves. The afterburning resulting from it guarantees the
problem-free fulfilment of the EURO-1-Abgasgrenzwerte.
The exhaust manifolds however are guessed/advised with their flat
black lacquer finish and the small diameter somewhat mickrig, them
cry directly after exchange by the accessory trade. Unfortunately I
there still nothing found.
The cooling fins are pure mockup and increase optically the engine
on at least 500 ccm.
Oil level check takes place comfortably at the engine by sediment
bowl
This is the engine...

The chassis corresponds to the standard which high of Honda one
also of the Shadow is used.
To the high emphasis one gets accustomed fast. By the large seat
one finds a pleasant seating position rapid, in which the legs are
only easily bended. The half shell lining holds a majority of the
wind from the driver and ensures together with a better
co-ordinated translation for the fact that the machine lies iin the
Topspeed few km more highly than the Shadow.
The final translation amounts to with the Varadero 14:44 (results
in 0.31
with the Shadow 14:41 (results in 0.341)
thereby lay I with my tip, with which Shadow does not assume at all
14 it pinions against a 1ér to exchange so wrongly 13:41 (results
in 0.317) if one Honda uses probably also the same transmission.
Thus also the Shadow lies in the terminal velocity a few kilometer
more highly. In the level one reaches 11500 U/min thereby as per
tachometer
The vehicle weight is rather high with 149 kilograms. The 12ër
nevertheless is pleasantly easily in the handling and much
circle-narrow-hurries. On fast highway curves the XL 125 V is
fullly on the road and it gives not even a suggestion of shaking or
oscillating.
The brakes fulfill their task only sufficiently, the pressure point
are capable of improvement - the brake works somewhat more
spongelike than with the Shadow - with the additional installation
of Stahlflexleitungen are eliminated this small weak point.
For the small Varadero a new double tube steel framework was
developed. The good straight line discharge and the high rigidity
are reached by a wheel base by 1450 mm, a 35-mm-Gabel and the
sturdy box rocker.
The spring travel amounts to in front like in the back in each case
150 mm. Bumps are very well swallowed by the harmoniously
co-ordinated absorption.
The pre-loading of the centrically installed mono squatting shock
strut is sevenfold adjustable. Unfortunately the mechanics lie
unprotected in the splash-water range of the rear wheel -- other
manufacturers make that better.
The engine is the same as in the Shadow with a slightly changed
tuning. He works altogether on quite high number of revolutions
level, but for its class he nevertheless offers the maximally
permitted 15 PS/11 KW and accelerates also in lower speed ranges
without jerking. Consumption is with approx.. 4 litres per
100km
However:
The Varadero 125 is not cheap: The basic price amounts to 8770
Marks, in addition still the costs of freight and transfer
come.
