It looks like a relaxed position VFR800, a real all rounder. It looks much better bike than Deauville. A good rival of TDM, Tiger 800 XC.
What I like about Crossrunner is that it has a large petrol tank again (not like VFR1200), looks comfy and fast and light weight bike.

my guess point from my poor experience.
---------------------Alps--Commute--Motorway--Weight--Total
Crossrunner------10--------9------------9---------6---------8.5
VFR800-------------3---------4-----------10---------6--------5.8
Tiger800 XC-------9---------9------------7----------7---------8
TDM-----------------9---------8------------8----------9--------8.5
Deauville-----------3---------9------------6----------3--------5.2

Which one do you like best as a All rounder?

The TDM is the lightest I would say. Only 190kg dry. Although I have never heard of the cross runner.

Being size I think the TDM is perfect for me, The Tiger 800 (not the XC) Is looking like a better bike and I would have to have a go it could possibly be a replacement for the TDM.

The Tiger XC is listed at a surprisingly reasonable 215kg wet (as was pointed out to me in a previous thread) - I was expecting it to be heavier than the F800/990A, but we're talking similar weights.
The non-XC version loses a bit of weight over that too.
Just checked and wet weight of the Yamaha is listed at 223kg.

I think the Ducati MS1200 is worth a mention; similar weight but claimed to make 150hp and various fancy gubbins.
There was a viral' about it doing nicely at pikes peak which generally biased towards lighter competition supermotos.

I was more impressed in how the Multistrada performed on track.
The sport setting really showed. Little fork dive. No head shakes. Able to back it in if needed.
Silly money tho....and OT Smile
