Jeez she's not even run in! 😝 Happy riding

Good stuff guys, thanks.

Resurrecting an old thread - I recently purchased a small Android tablet to mount on the 1200X but I would still like to use some bike-specific planning software that I can plan my own route on then transfer to the tablet. I don't mind paying a small amount to run their own mapping either and the tablet will have a data-only sim to keep the mapping live for traffic etc. I currently use Kurviger but that can often go off on its own 'curvy' route. Anything new happened since 2020?

Pray tell the folly of such situation?

Engine definitely not a VFR

Oooh, pot to kettle

Gentleman, I beg to differ. 😉

Video no longer available.

Re PAIR delete - no ECU mod required. I thought there was a guide on here but I can't find it.

Easy mod, do it now

Looking great. Are you going to delete the PAIR valves? I think it makes the bike noticeably smoother, especially at lower revs.

I just changed my vpn to Poland and taaa daaa.... Beautiful looking bike. 🍻 Similar to mine, story on here. Have you checked the tyres? They should display a date of manufacture on them. Coolant change? Battery? Air filter and fuel tank worth checking too. And then balance the SVs. 👍 Enjoy. 🍻

Haha, no surprises that there are differing opinions. Lord help us if we all liked exactly the same things. The Crossie is all-day comfortable. You can ride fast or take it easy and the miles can just vanish yet it is equally at home in the twisties. Yes, the suspension could be better for this (the same for every VFR) but the wider bars give you a lot more leverage for turning and your view ahead is better with a higher head height. And despite the higher drag from the upright riding position, I've seen well over 50mpg (imperial gallons) at high cruise speeds which gives nearly 250 miles to a tank. Looks aren't something that bother me too much, it's the bike between my legs that's important and the VFR800X, which has exactly the same engine as the 800F, ticks my boxes for what I need it for. 68000 miles, never failed to start first touch and with nary a cough or a splutter, all weathers, all year round for 6 years. However, I shall be sad to see her go come the spring as my commuting days are over and I cannot justify keeping her. YMMV, as always.

I've done nearly 70k miles on my Crossrunner and though I haven't owned an 8th Gen but have test ridden one, the Mk2 Crossrunner is the best VFR800 Honda produced. IMHO of course.

Hi Grant. Have you discounted purchasing a non-DCT model?
