Honda's Latest Crosstourer
Honda's Latest Crosstourer
Date: 2012-08-01
Last Friday Honda Wing Umhlanga launched the formidable new VFR1200X, a new Crosstourer that will deliver all the fun and excitement of a sports tourer; with the comfortable upright riding position and maneuverability of an adventure machine. This is underpinned by Honda's V4 expertise.
The new VFR1200X Crosstourer is equipped with Honda's Traction Control System (TCS). This system monitors rear wheel speed, looking for fluctuations that could suggest an imminent loss of traction and, subsequently, machine control. If the system believes wheel-spin is imminent, engine power is momentarily reduced, maintaining traction. The system can be switched off in accordance with the rider's preferences.
Developed especially for this model, the Crosstourer spoked wheels have been designed to absorb the shocks generated by rough road surfaces, working with the machine's suspension systems to deliver a comfortably refined ride quality.
The Combined Antilock Braking System incorporates both the easy control of a Combined Braking System and the extra reassurance of an Anti-lock Braking System. An advanced multi-function instrument panel is both attractively styled and easy to read at a glance. Positioned just below the rider's line of sight to maximise the amount of time spent looking ahead, the display is dominated by a large clear digital speedometer.
