Thought ?1200 was expensive for BMUU alloys but this makes them look reasonable!

"Bits and bobs are borrowed from other Hondas too. The luggage for example comes from the VFR1200F, so it?s very sophisticated, a little small and very expensive. "

So ?1400 is a bit on the high side :)  (Still too damn expensive thought :( )

Just read a good review of the cross runner by Kevin Ash.
Didn't realize that it really is a VFR800 underneath almost entirely. Not just engine but frame, etc., etc.

Not up to Hondas usual build standards!!  :(   Appear in this video to be held together with Duck Tape  ;D ;D :slowclap:

I've got a red one allocated from Honda from June 6th to June 17th to take to Slovakia for VIM, but unless circumstances change next week I'll have to pass on the offer.
Unfortunately there are no panniers in the country and all Honda have is a top box and tall screen. Went to local dealers yesterday to have a proper look and to be honest, without panniers its a none starter. I was going to try and use soft luggage thow-overs but the tail of the bike just won't accomodate them. Just don't fancy 10 days away with a top box as only luggage. Also no way to fit a GPS unless Honda bring one out .

I took the crossrunner demo out today and i was very impessed with it but it wont be replacing my Vara or my VFR12  ;)

I wonder who will be the first person to actually buy a CROSSDRESSER and admit to it in public?
I thought I may start a book on it:

Max odds on favourite
Toni...Im having a pink one if Maxi does...5/2
TPD...it suits a Grandad...3/1
Barker (nobody will see it up here)....4/1
Mark H...(it only cost a 2 race bonus),,,5/1
Lazy Rider....firm outsider as he cant get his leg over anything too high....

Any more entries?
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path..... and leave a trail...!

.....and remember, "Light travels faster than the speed of sound, which is why some people appear bright until they speak"

Bodysurfer

Cliff............What's the chances of anything going wrong with that 3/1
Don't hit anything you can't eat in one meal

I think you should lend it to minkyhead as he would get it to the top of any hill-anywhere.

But it would come back in a taxi ceased up. 10/1 :rofl
ROAD KILL SHOULD BE TENDERISED-fit TKC 80's THAT WILL DO THE JOB.!

I hope someone goes along and asks them why they forced David Silvers to stop selling Post 2002 Honda spares :tickedoff:
