Crosstourer has landed

[Chad]

interesting - whats the top speed, what are the service intervals and does it wheelie?

more to the point how much is this beasty going to cost to service , i find it quite funny that the KTM 990 ADV is now days seen as basic rudimentry old money ,and for that reason could it be a better bike than this crosstourer ??

the reason i let that go was the sky high servicing , ive a feeling that servicing this V4 is going to be a tad spitefull , so it will be interesting to see what the service intervals are , i mean if Ducati can get 15k between sevices then a honda should go at least 20 k


one thing i will say Chris is with somebody as ugly as you riding it , makes it look a very pretty bike

Great write up (you could do this sort of thing for a living).
Some interesting inovations some good, some????
Not sure on the gear shift idea but no doubt similar coments were made when the foot shift was developed.

By the way there are loads of very nice pictures of the bike in the vertical but none in the hirizontal!!!

I quite like it, in the way you'd love an ugly child

Fuel consumption on it sounds very good.

Great write up Chris. I would think about one of these if I didn't love my GS so much

Good write up Chris.
It will be interesting to find out why it does not start after having a lie down.

Chris, yes the bike is crap,but I noticed you had new bike gear on, What was wrong with the tried and tested sewn together adventure gear. Are you being a posh snob.

Nice one Chris,
Tidy write up.

My winter jacket did not fit over the body armour suit.

Thanks for the info, Chris. Nice one!

Great review Chris. When are you crash testing the NC700 (any flavour) then?

I don't know if I'm becoming old and cynical but I've noticed all the new Honda adventure bike seem to have low level exhaust. That just does'nt seem right to me.
