Sharing platform, ie chassis and mechanical engineering, Honda has given life to three different bikes for 2012. With 2-cylinder engine line (670 cc) and tubular chassis there are three models to reach all types of users: NC700S (naked), NC700X (asphalt trail) and Integra (scooter).

The latter scooter Honda has a lot of bike. The DCT transmission uses two clutches Integra (as seen in the VFR1200F) to provide gear shifts faster and smoother with three modes to choose from and high school is through chain. Read the rest of this entry »

Nothing else can get on the Crossrunner everything fits perfectly. Ergonomics has been studied and is well suited to the standards of comfort today. The seat is 1 cm higher than the VFR, but hardly noticeable. Maybe a lower footpegs would be welcome on long trips.

The first thing that strikes us is the placement of instrumentation, floating and much higher than normal to avoid having to go too low in view of the road … Yes, Honda safety. The screen has the correct height and higher there is an option accessory.

The noise level of 102 hp engine (5 hp less than the VFR800) is very familiar to us and has more torque than the VFR between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm improved the result of an admission (higher nozzle and small), a new exhaust 4 – 2-1 and injection settings / VTEC different.

If you want to enjoy the second half of revolutions, starting at 6,500 rpm will change the tide and emerge a new scream result of the entry into action of sophisticated VTEC. Then, the thrust will be greater, catapultandote to the next corner faster than you think.

The combined braking with ABS as standard is one of its strengths as it inherits the team with Nissin six-piston front calipers from the VFR1200F.

The trademark golden wing has fully embraced the asphalt trail segment with a new model that seeks to combine the advantages of a sport-tourism with a naked. The Cross runner fills a gap in the half cylinder only touched by the BMW F650GS and the Triumph Tiger 800. Like them, the new “crossover” Honda is a pure on-road support welcome any type of asphalt, leaving ripples for other off-road models “Transalp”.

The reality is that times have changed and the “logic of high handlebars” has already been imposed on the handlebars and raised from the models breadsticks R.

The new creation of an institution Hondaque drink has earned the respect of fans during his 30-year history: the VFR. Undressing the latest version of 782 cc to give it a new dress to optimize some aspects advantage of the Immortal 4 cylinders in V has been a success.

The design “touches” us a little and it has fallen into the hands of Madrid (based in Rome) Theophilus Plaza, who was also responsible for shaping the VFR1200F. The technical part has been led by the Japanese Yosuke Hasegawa

In late February, Stephen and told us that this year would see the new 2012 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing, and now Montesa Honda tells us that the model will be available later this same year 2011.Perhaps what stands out is the body that has remodeled and filled with dynamic sharpening its elegant lines. And for the retailers should also try some new vents in the rear that improve depression that formed after the driver and increase comfort.

Increase the capacity for the bags in which there is now roomed for more than 150 liters. Almost as much space as in the trunk of a single-volume. To complete the aesthetic review must mention that the fairing has also been tweaked in the front is now more streamlined and even more impressive, now offers more protection from wind and elements.

The chassis has been improved by tweaking the damping of the two trains for more comfort without losing control on bends. Everything else we know, its chassis with tubes made of aluminum square, the horizontal six-cylinder engine and electronic injection. In the accessories section for a bike that takes almost everything, we have ABS, Airbag integrated browser. We can also install a stereo 80 W SRS and six speakers that lets you enjoy music in almost any format.

All this to renew little that many call the real flagship of Honda. And that is the size of a real ship, but once in place and the right driver can almost stop behaving like a sport. That if, radio and suitcases.
