Pros and Cons in comparison

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.
