- A while ago we (or rather, Harry) criticised the Honda VFR800 for being a bit boring. Good, but boring. Now there is the updated VFR800X Crossrunner, their ADV-styled middleweight road bike. Can it shake up our perception of current Hondas?

The Honda Crossrunner is perfect!! Leave it alone.
Too right
Yep these fckers are a joke!
You guys confuse: new with: innovation ..anyone can put a big engine in to give more power, but on the road you really can't use it. Yes, 100bhp is fairly mild by today's standards, however at least you can exploit it all on the road. Much over 140-150 is completely wasted anyhow. I have an S1000RR that my intention is to take on trackdays, but when I do ride it on the road, even in the rain setting it is too much - I can wring its neck in 1st and 2nd and then risk serious consequences - half / two-thirds of the power with shorter gearing would be more enjoyable for a road bike. It's journos like you that help to influence manufacturers / riders into thinking we need or even want 'innovation' above a fairly basic set of things and then to keep the price point reasonable cut back in the areas that really matter..
I completely agree that there a lot of bikes out there now that have too much power for the road. I would say, however, that 100bhp is not really enough, especially not for something that's likely to have two people on. I reckon 120-130 is the sweet spot for a bike of this size and weight.
Thanks guys, gonna buy a brand new VFR800X next month :). Exactly what I'm looking for, and didn't take your harsh review into account.
looks much more better then 1200cc version. one quick question there is a dct version of this bike?
FYI, Suichiro Hoda is known for using the part of his previous product final form which means Honda somtimes using the "good enough" parts form their old product for the new one to decrease production bugget
These 2 are a joke would not pay them with washers they just talk crap.
I don't want to be unkind to another Honda - well don't ffs. What a shitty review. The crossrunner is a great bike and it has an adjustable screen now!
Yes please! I would like to know from the Honda guy what is stopping them from bringing the 750 X-ADV to SA? Personally think it would sell like sweetcake
cracking review! good to find an honest review where theres no smoke being blown up manufacturers arses!
Rubbish comment and crap review
They claimed VTEC makes no difference...having ridden one (pre-facelift) myself, I know that certainly is NOT the case.
@@jetstream454 I had a vfr800x on loan for a couple weeks while my Yamaha was fixed. I really enjoyed it. I definitely noticed the VTEC straight away with the akra system too. Needless to say honda know how to put together a machine far better than most riders that think they know what a bike should be.
It's nice to see these guys giving an honest review
Ridiculous review. Great bikes
Where is this bike? Haven't seen one in the USA showrooms..
Poor Honda so behind on this segment, they need to make them LIGHTER!!!! the new VFR-X weighs 600 lbs way to HEAVY!!
Can you guys do a review of Husqvarna 701 Enduro ?? Thanks guys
+moulin6801 It's coming! Just filmed it so we'll put it up in the next couple of weeks.
Do you have a review of the Crosstourer? Thanks!
I had my heart set on a VFR 800. watched your awesome review and ended up buying a Kawasaki Versys 1000. Best move I ever made. I love it. Thanks guys. keep up the good work.
I had one great machine got OCD with the chain and adjusting.. just me. If i went back to chain would have to be a single swinging arm. Got Beemer now BTW
It is like you guys have ridden too many bikes. Zero enthusiasm.
If you can't feel any difference when VTEC hits, you haven't opened it up
I'm in Brazil and always watch your videos, I like the show,the way you seem to know about bikes and the way you talk, your accent is so damn good... Keep up the good work.
Honda debuted a lot of stuff... it's just been weird stuff. The Grom. NC700. FB6. CTX series. In 5 years Honda will make the world's fastest bike and we'll all be talking about how all the other manufacturers are making utilitarian bikes and how Honda missed the boat.
fell asleep, if these guys can't be enthusiastic about this how can we? zzzz
I'm still waiting for the CRF450L. :(
Good to know they're waking up from their slump. Do like the new Africa twin 👍
Don't think you guys like Honda .All manufactures fit screens that are too small ,it's to sell bike because they don't look as good with tall screens
The word I think you were looking for is 'soul' when it comes to what these bikes are lacking : )
silverfoils machines don't have a fucking soul. Stop it with this bullshit. Either you like it or nah. Have you ridden on a vfr? Then you can't have much of an opinion on how it feels before you ride one
Very similar features to the CTX700.
Dont think these two like each other Mat keeps talking over him
Honda is just so conservative as an entire company....... I've had their bikes and cars in the past, but when I needed a new small displacement commuter bike, I bought a Yamaha R3. The CBR300 was just too boring. There I said it, they're too boring right now, nothing exciting at all!
Because an R3 is just a bundle of joy and excitement d:
More fun than a CB300, but not really lol.
Bang on Guys, Good review !!!
The X is not available here in Canada ! Honda and Suzuki must have the same Sleepy old men in there Design team...Boring Boring Boring !!
UK always have to pay more than anyone else. Bikes, cars, anything
Sorry to disappoint you, but the prices in the UK, are exactly half and even less than Israel, don't complain.
annoying berks
Love how the Brits pronounce ‘chassis’ as ‘SHassee’.
Shassie, actually.
ChrisGeez it is pronounced that way because it is a word of french origin.
They are South Africans
Honda need to employ some Italians for some passion and creativity. Yamahas MTO9 Tracer is better looking for sure
Wankers. They see no practical application for any bike. i'm moving on.
Looks the same as the NC700X to me
+Boodieman72 Similar segment but different class. 105hp versus ~40hp is a big difference.
shin888 Not available in the US it seems. As I own an NC700X and have had major issues trying to deal with Honda, I would never buy another Honda.
What kind of problems did you have with Honda?
Derli Campos Transmission had an exrta bolt floating around in it.
Looks weak sauce 4/10
As boring as the VFR. The Tiger 800 is lighter, faster and more fun.
