I had no idea what to expect from the Crosstourer. But no matter what I wrote about it, I knew what I could expect from comments on xrv.org.uk: it’s not a new Africa Twin; Honda should make a new Africa Twin. Well, the Crosstourer is not the new Africa Twin. Its seat is comfortable, for a start...

Hello; I finally rode the Twin back from Kent to Manchester last Sunday. Eventually got too cold, hungry and a bit tired of the A-roads in the dark and joined the M6 and blasted it up north. It cruises so happily -it's quite a change for me from my stupidly high revving ZXR400. I think I will...
