A fantastic all rounder. Looks maybe subjective but go for a test ride.. Honda have injected a huge dose of fun into its dna. The legendary v4 engine is better than ever.

I've been riding 48 years and have owned 100+bikes (and ridden many others) from 80cc to 1500cc and I can honestly say that none have been more fun the Crossrunner. Performance is more than adequate for real wo Continue reading...

Having taken the bike out for a couple of hours from my local dealer (Lings Honda), I was very surprised and impression. Styling isn't to everyone's taste but I didn't mind it. Considering its almost a grand le Continue reading...

same for me.  the regulator went on my street triple (under warranty still).  was told by the dealer that sold me it that id have to wait for 6-8 weeks before they could fix.  The bike was my only way to get to work.  The dealer in question was North City Triumph - Romford.

Triumph dealer support has been shocking - i guess they sold more bikes than they have trained mechanics to fix

Bought one having considered about 12 other bikes. Wanted everything the reviews and test ride said the Crossrunner has and have not been dissapointed - apart from the Speed Restriction which was disclosed in Bike Magazines November issue. Honda, dealers and lots of the media say ther ain't one - but there is - 123mph max (in 4th gear - cos 5th and 6th are restricted). This versus 145mph in MCN - a bit (actually very) naughty by Honda and dealers to let this myth be accepted by potential buyers.

Would not have bought it if I had known this beforehand - now lumbered.

Need to know

ABS is fitted as standard and Honda have remapped the fueling so the VTEC transition is now much smoother. The high bars gives a comfortable riding position and excellent visibility.
 
It's not sportsbike sexy, but for the majority of us, it's more than capable.
