Member Contributer TexOz Posted November 7, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2010 Regardless of the interpretation of the "art", I like this bike. Yep ... I'm starting to warm to it too ... the bike that is, not the video! :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I looked at the other vid's while I was on the link, apparently they don't have anything where it's going though it paces.... Kind of like a model, you can see'em walk down the runway, but not see how they live........ Nice looking bike though, also looks like the hand grips are higher.

timmythecop Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 and, if nothing else, we now have options for subframe modifications, exhaust choices and a new front fender if one wanted that option. Hopefully this ad works so they sell a million of them in europe, so they can bring them here in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer DougFromIndy Posted November 7, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2010 I like the crossover...better than the 7th gen. But to me it looks like Honda said ..."What can we do with the 6th gen to remarket it?" looks like many, many parts from my VFR are on it. So maybe not so new just a rearrangement?

Member Contributer bryan217 Posted November 7, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2010 I like the video. Original idea, a little humorous, and nicely done! And I kinda like the Crossrunner, too, would to see one in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I'm liking it. I liked it originally but I am quite taken by how well it "fills out" when a rider is on it. Can't wait to see it in the flesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every car and bike manufacturer does it, start with a basic foundation and build several models on top of it. It's smart business and really the only way to maximize R&D budgets.

Nozz Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I kept repeating the first 5 seconds, just to see someone on the bike and to hear the engine noise. Cool video, though it makes no matter in my purchasing decision. I'd rather see HD video of the bike upclose. Is this coming to the US or not? I can't tell from the forum or other websites.

timmythecop Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 yea, I did the same, and I paused it to get a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer TexOz Posted November 7, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2010 I like the crossover...better than the 7th gen. Yep, same here ... I know people are really digging their 7th Gens (and I'm happy for 'em) but for my limited $s it isn't even in the hunt. While the crossrunner isn't exactly what I was hoping for, I don't think I've been this excited about a new bike release in years :cheerleader: I reckon I could possibly be a future crossrunner owner! .... time will tell (and so will my wife :dry:). Seems to be quite a lot of people who doubt that it will go to the US, I guess I can't believe Honda America would be so stupid to not release it in the States :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer creggur Posted November 7, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2010 I like the commercial and the bike. If Honda brought it here I'd be a serious player for one. The ergonomics are what I've been trying to do to my 6th Gen since I got it... Want to have a V4; want true all-day comfort; want Honda reliability; I WANT THIS BIKE, HONDA!

Member Contributer 00Yeller Posted November 9, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 9, 2010 They are designing for the "large" motorcycle growth markets; Europe hence the European design teams. Why would that surprise anybody? Anyway it is more of a tweak of an existing design than a new introduction... Making the most of the investment in tooling (i.e., CASH COW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Considering how much of this commercial's imagery comes from the US, i am very surprised that it isn't already coming to the US... i'd count of next year for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted November 9, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 9, 2010 Here's another crossrunner video which is a little more informative. :fing02: The first video wasn't really interesting. Strictly from a video editing point it was a pretty neat idea. It didn't really do much for the bike though. All I got from the second video was that they didn't design it agressively, and it's for people who like to have fun but are afraid of sharp edges or wolfman. There was something about a pontoon in there as well. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer sirimiri Posted November 23, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 23, 2010 Holy hell, is that what my 6th-gen VFR engine sounds like to "others"?!!? Wow, wearing earplugs 99% of rides has deadened me to the V4 sound :sad: I don't even hear my own bike's sexiness anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
