Some Crossrunner specs from Hell for Leather.

"To power this contraption, Honda has developed a new version of its VTEC-equipped 782cc, quad-cam V4 that develops 100bhp at 10,000rpm and 54lb/ft of torque at 9,500rpm. That powers a bike that weighs 240.4kg/530lbs (wet). It uses chain final drive and a single-sided swingarm."

Edit . Changed the Title of the Thread to CrossRunner

Optional Equipment

Honda Access Europe will be providing a range of tailored optional accessories for the Crossrunner. These have been created alongside the bike and are designed to complement its styling, comfort and versatility. The accessories include:

29-litre pannier kit. Operated with the motorcycle key, the panniers are aerodynamically shaped and easily detachable. The left pannier can hold one full-face helmet

Sleek 31-litre top box featuring a locking, quick-detach mounting system. Operated with the motorcycle key, the top box can hold a full-face helmet with room for other luggage

Tough and stylish polyester and vinyl inner bags for the top box and panniers. These are black with a Honda Wing logo, and come with carrying straps and handles. As an extra convenience feature, the pannier inner bags can be zipped together for easy carrying

Higher windscreen that offers extended wind protection for taller riders.

Pair of slim heated grips with an integrated controller for maximum comfort and compact design integration

Set of two fairing deflectors, offering increased wind protection

Mainstand that makes rear wheel maintenance easier and provides more secure parking on uneven surfaces

12V DC socket for powering additional electrical equipment

An outdoor motorcycle cover that protects the paintwork from UV rays. The fabric is water-resistant and breathable, allowing the bike to dry while parked. A rope is included to tighten the cover and prevent fluttering in the wind. There are two holes in the front to allow use of a U-lock

A U-lock and an Averto alarm kit. The alarm has an 118dB siren, a shock detector with 8 sensitivity settings and features a sleep mode to help prevent the battery from draining. Connectors and pre-wiring are included.

Crosstour looks kinda cool, but I'm definitely not feeling the Crossrunner. It will probably sell better than the 6th gen though. Would be nice if they did an "end of the line" version of the VTEC with upgraded suspension etc., kinda like Triumph is doing with the Daytona.

@BonusVFR: Tomorrow Honad will launch a wbsite with more details on all 2011 models.

Is the Daytone reaching EOL? That's a shame as it sure is a beauty.

I wasn't too sure with the sketches, but now that I've seen real pics, I kinda like it. It's not my thing, I love my 6th Gen, but for somebody who wants something a little more upright, it's cool. And they say the pillion seat is flatter, wider, more comfortable (shh, can't let the wife see that ).

I would prefer a taller, more useful windscreen. i see that Honda offers one, along with matching bags. I love that the bags use the same key as the ignition. It's a pain to have separate keys.

Honda Access Europe, eh? Guess that means we won't see it in the states. Not surprised...

From what I've heard there should be a brand new Daytona in the next year or two. The 2011 model will mark the 6th year it has been in production, thats a long time for a supersport! I really want that Daytona R in the meantime though!

I vote for calling the CrossRunner a 6th gen and the CrossTourer a 7th gen because that's the powerplant under the bodywork.

Remember the 1st gen had a lot of different models with different sizes and configurations, but we called them all 1st gen.

Be interesting to see what the VTec changes are......maybe real performance and economy???

More off roading :laughing6-hehe:

I'm not sure I would call it a 6th gen... I don't think it has the VTEC.

I think it would be worth moving beyond the 1-7 gen classifications with all the new V4 Hondas coming out. Make a category of "V4 Crossovers" which contains both the Crossrunner and Crosstourer subcategories.

I think it may have a modified Vtec but I think you are on to something with your category.

I would say it has exactly the same off-road capability as a Multistrada 1200... (none)

I think the Strada may have more suspension travel but the same off road manners..............................None :fing02:

This bike is weird. It's basically a VFR800 with different bodywork and spoked wheels! Does anyone know if the suspension travel has changed?

Oh, and if they ever release this bike with USD forks we are are SET! They should just drop right in. :-)

Looks like suspension travel is about the same as a 5 or 6th gen - 108mm front and 119 rear.

Cast wheels.

The CrossTour has spokes.

Am I reading the OP question wrong? Isn't the question about whether this "thing" will have a category in the list of VFR models? Is having a Honda V4 all that's required to be VFRD "worthy"? What happens when the V4 generators come out? Will they earn a spot on the VFRD calender? If it doesn't say VF,VFR or Interceptor, then there are probably plenty of other forums for it to hide out in. Maybe a forum for poor selling models.
