    For 2012 Honda has bought out a new Tourer/ Adventure bike called the Crosstourer and by the look it’s aimed to compete with BMW and Triumph as a cross continent Tourer.

    Here’s a good review from UK Adventure Rider Mag who have actually tested one .

    I’m hearing you Kram and agree 100% , Honda need a decent hardcore light Adv bike , the Crosstourer is a massive 275 kg :ohmy:

    They could make a Honda Quinn just for you mate B)

    How many cc is it. I agree on the weight. I reckon the BMW 800 is on the limit weight wise for off road riding at 240 ish. I reckon it looks good just too heavy.

    Good question , I thought it was an 800 but I just checked and it’s actually a 1200 so they’re obviously aiming more at the big Beemer GS and the super Tenere.

    Absolutely hideous, what is honda thinking? :unsure: :ohmy: :huh: :sick:
    As a touring bike that doesnt see the end of a tar road it is still hideous but could serve a purpose for some :laugh:
    275kg plus all your gear would be a nightmare to ride off road, i agree, when will honda make a fair dinkum ADV bike? if Honda kept some of there older models in production and with the R&D that they would have been doing over ther years on these models, they could have some briliant ADV and Touring bikes but instead they give us this thing :(

    Sorry I missed the cc part in the review but for some reason I thought it was smaller than a 1200 !

    I’ll try harder next time boss :dry:

    Sorry mate just saying is all :laugh: I mean as the highly paid ADV guru / moderator thought it was funny you missed it given your normal high standard of work ;)

    Next time, although as hindsight is 20 20 vision it does look big for an 800 eh :P

    Just to add to the CC oversight is it just me or does the bike in the picture in the first post look very different to the one in the link?

    Still looks shit loads different. The one in the link has a smoother looking fairing, spoked wheels and USD forks.
