Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer 2013

Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer 2013

It's not for people crossing Africa, but it is for people crossing Europe. Great travelling comfort - a mixture of tourer and touring enduro. The engine drives it like the brochure promises "V4 with 1200 cc" - actually wasteful.

Powerful four-cylinder engine

innovative looks

pleasant driving experience

fascinating technology

high performance.

Large overall weight

irritating concept

somewhat boring design.

In the large enduro segment, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 occupies the position of the best value for money, yet you don't have to do without anything - even traction control and ABS come as standard. Excellent brakes, great comfort and a wonderfully powerful V-twin engine are ingredients that should appeal to almost everyone. The fact that it doesn't play in the top league with 100 hp is made up for by the wonderful power delivery, which ensures a relaxed climate on long journeys. Only the wind protection is not optimal with the original windshield; one should invest in the affordable, somewhat larger windshield.

Powerful engine

traction control as standard

very good brakes

taut yet comfortable chassis

great touring capability

complete instrumentation

Windshield creates turbulence on the head

the engine runs out of breath in the upper speed range

confusable look
