Not overly impressed or with the Suzuki GSR750, but he raves about the 2011 MG Stelvio

There's an MCN review of it out now as well.

[Gremlin]

I'm more interested in the Crosstourer... which should be coming out in the next couple of years... 1200 based bike to complement the Crossrunner

[zeocen]

Not likely Gremlin, it's on hold as a production bike because the auto transmission is too heavy.

[Gremlin]

Well take the goddamn auto transmission out... I don't want it anyway!

You don't even want this bike! Thinking of doing something drastic to your Beemer?

9,000 quid = around $18,000 south pacific peso's for a facelift of the VFR.
Thats IF Bluewing decide that we should get it here.

Just had excellent experiences with a certain Honda shop almost a stones throw from home and work. I said they should be a KTM dealer, but I take that back... they should be a BMW dealer as well (funnily enough, happened around the time I changed as well? )

I told Wichard... I'd love to buy a Honda, I'm in the market right now, with these requirements. Unfortunately, Honda isn't in my market.

I must choose well... he refuses to ride my bikes

[nudemetalz]

So if you buy a Crosstourer or a Crossrunner, should you also be a Cross-dresser?

I rode one of these today, thanks to Danny at City Honda in Palmerston North.

I must say, I like it... Alot!
It is like a XLV750 Africa Twin, without beiing so much of a Tractor!

It has the same HP as my current CBR, BUT feels 20 years newer... Oh wait it is....

I even found a little road works to take it through... by total accident, and the riding position ment it felt fine.
In reality, these are the perfect bike for NZ roads in my opinion. It does everything on the tracks we have perfectly.... Doesn't feel like it weighs 240kg either!

Now to find $18500... Is cheaper than the VFR800F though...
