New honda crosstourer

[apexgrinder]

Hi guys, what does everyone think of this new model:

https://www.momentumblog.co.uk/2011/10/honda-crosstourer-concept-will-make.html

What's the difference between this model and the crossrunner?

[P.]

Aside from the double clutch option and apparently the VFR12 engine?

I'm assuming they mean the 12 engine anyway...

[hmmmnz]

i went for a ride on the new crossrunner last week

what an underwhelming peice of crap,
im not sure what honda was trying to achieve with it, may be a competitor to the v-strom, but if that was the case, they failed, its even more useless, the ground clearance was pitiful, the front wheel was too small
to be any use on gravel, essentially its a shit version of the vfr800 with higher bars and a hard seat,
boo honda, they have been designing some pretty ugly bkes lately

there seems to be an evolution of uglyness coming from honda since about 2000,

mostly it just seems to effect the v4 motored bikes
but they get uglier and uglier, i thought the pinnacle of that uglyness was going to be the vfr1200, but they keep out doing themselves

It looks like a bike cobbled from parts. The engines are used in the VFR12

its got a CB1000r swingarm and very similar wheel designs.

let alone the RWU forks.

One of the most pig-ugly bikes I've seen...and neither one thing or the other...

Well, controversially maybe, I quite like the Crosstourer.

If it's as heavy as the regular VFR1200 then forget it.

A recent feature in bike came up with lots of good alternate names for it such as the crossdresser and angry jogger

Exactly, and the Tiger 800 XC, it looks just like the BMW F800GS.

[apexgrinder]

Perhaps Honda just found a load of spare parts in their warehouse, bolted them together and tada...... Crosstourer/runner/dresser etc

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Good lord that looks like it drowned in a pool of ugly.

Really, Honda? Really? That's a pretty blatant attempt to carve a slice out of the GS market. I'm surprised that they haven't paid what's-his-name, Ewan McGregor's mate, to pimp it for them.

Bad show, Honda, very bad show.

If you take into account just the bodywork, the shape reminds me of one of those yellow plastic ducks.

I don't dislike it though, actually I find it kind of appealing, but would only have one as a second bike.
