Honda VFR800X Crossrunner 2011

An optimal balance between handling and stability is a science in itself. With this motorbike, this balance has been achieved very well. So it's not tippy, but it's manageable enough. This gives confidence and makes even experienced riders fast.

Heart-stopping sound

hard revs. Handling to match the concept

balanced

optimum wind protection

clean brakes

immaculate engine metering.

Relatively unspectacular power unit

poor quality of the tachometer dispaly.

With no other Bigenduro can you ride so hard on the knee and therefore end up way ahead on the grid. If you often feel attacked on your holiday trip, you should fight back with the Versys 1000. Which proves that big enduros and four-cylinders do get along.

Silky running powerplant

sporty, comfortable chassis

efficient wind protection

cushioned seat.

Slight tipping in curves takes some getting used to

arguable design
