Farewell

Power change wont be an issue, anyway I never felt lack of power

Josep, be slow at the beginning, it is like a rocket after Vara....

Back in 2004, my Vara had 25 hp more than any other bike I had ridden before. I thought I was having 25 more hp than I'd comfortably handle or ever use.

But it is true that you get used to everything, and with the passing years I find myself more and more often wishing to have some more hp, just to overtake in a flash that TDI whose pace is slower than mine in my mountain road 

When I tested the CT, I found a noticeable increase in power delivery WRT my Vara, but it was far from being unbearable  Despite the large amount of inertia 
As a matter of fact, in my years of Vara rider, I've had the chance to test ride two bikes with much briskier responses to the trhottle: a KTM 1190 and a BMuu K1300R 

Brute power is addictive, but I expect that CT will fulfill my wishes in this aspect 

Regards,

Josep

I look forward to hear what Consol thinks.
There are several Norwegians who changed to CT, and the pillions are not satisfied.
They miss the comfortable Varadero, with wide saddle and enough space for the legs even with plenty luggage.
If I - for some reason - had to change my bike today, I had bought a second-hand Varadero with low km   

My wife has found the CT to be perfectly alright compared to the Vara. But agreed, the Vara was a good two up bike space wise.

We could ask Ursula as well. She's slim, but tall.

Is comfort the true reason behind her decision to go from pillion to rider? ;-)
