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

With bikes as successful as the Kawasaki Z750, Yamaha FZ8 or the Triumph Street Triple conquering the hearts of the fans, Suzuki needed a product to live up to successfully enter this segment. While it is true that the GSR600 worked very well in his early exit to the street, we can not deny that he had become somewhat outdated in terms of lines and performance compared to its rivals.

Now Suzuki has responded in time with the launch of its new GSR750, a bike designed for the general public and that has all the qualities to become a commercial success. Its main attractions are a very attractive design, a powerful engine and measurable and competitive price: 8199 euros.

Motor sport based

The new machine equips the engine proved more than the GSX-R 750 2005. That it has been reviewed and modified to deliver power from below and not be so explosive at high rpm. That is the driving 6 years ago means nothing, because it has been the logical evolution of the technique as it has happened to the GSX-R 750 sporting this year also inherits it.

At first glance the bike exudes sportiness, and when you get into it more lively expect a reaction. However, the feeling that you passed in the early miles of a bike is very docile and manageable. It does not take to get used to it. Throttle response is strong and predictable, which gives you extra confidence. Pushing hard from a very low, we note that Suzuki have worked hard in this area, and when you approach the 8,000 laps vein gets your motor sports hides.

Who said the new youth elixir was just legend? KTM has found the secret and Duke called 125. This has been built from scratch a bike capable of seducing the young and to conquer those who are less so.

To feel the effect just forget about the preconceived and jump to the new naked like you’ve been with someone special or as if salieras institute unbeatable way of a plan with your friends. No worries, just wanting to enjoy and feel young. The important thing is the attitude and the willingness to have fun.
