All new Crossrunner
The Crossrunner represents the best of both worlds; the flexibility and exciting attitude of a Naked performance machine with the upright riding position and rugged appearance of an adventure bike. It will provide a thrilling riding experience for all types of riders.
Honda's Crossrunner is powered by a liquid-cooled 782cc, 4 cam, V4 engine with VTEC that delivers a smooth curve of power with excellent torque throughout the rev range. This provides the rider a precisely controlled experience, for short urban trips or for covering vast distances.
The rider's level of control is further enhanced by the wider than normal handlebar configuration, responding accurately yet quickly to small steering inputs, whilst its aluminium alloy twin-spar frame provides excellent rigidity.
A 43mm cartridge-type front fork provides supreme front wheel control and excellent rider feedback.
Cast aluminium Pro-Arm swingarm, Pro-Link rising-rate linkage system and gas-charged HMAS damper with adjustable rebound combine for comfort and precise control.
The Crossrunner has been designed to maximise both rider and pillion comfort. A low-slung 4-2-1 exhaust system allows a low passenger seat for easy mounting and positions the pillion at a similar level to the rider resulting in enhanced ride feel and better wind protection. It is attractive in design, allows excellent cornering
clearance and has that distinctive V4 engine note.
It's a Honda and safety is ensured thanks to the Crossrunner's high-performing Combined brakes with standard ABS creating powerful, assured braking with optimal control and feedback.
A 'floating' instrument binnacle is positioned for maximum visibility at all times and includes a digital LCD speedometer, a tachometer, twin trip meters, a coolant temperature gauge, an ambient temperature indicator and a clock.
Crossrunner VFR800X goes on sale in September 2011 at $18,495 including GST.
Available in two colours:
- Graphite Black
- Candy Blazing Red
