    Love it!!

    I care not what people ride...if it has 2 wheels and moves you forward, you're a brother.

    I just need to know what a "jo-jo" is!!!!!!!

    Would that include a crossdresser on a Goldwing in the wrong cog too? ;)


    Ahh, the ubiiquitus Jojo or as they are known in Mexico as the Hoho, a blog by two hookers from New Orleans and a trucated Santa expletive.

    Foodiewise they are an Idaho spud cut lengthwise into quarters and deepfried. Pretty good fresh but if they get cold they suck. A favorite of 1200 riders.

    rocker66, I liked your bike well enough to buy one in its VFR Interceptor form. I love it. The suspension is fairly lousy for hard sport riding, but that can be fixed if a guy wants to. Enjoy!

    Thanks. I will be using it for touring rather than hard sports riding so maybe the suspension will be OK. If not as you say it can be easily fixed.
    Only 4 days until I collect it so heres hoping for a dry day :)

    IMO the company that should get into the adventure bike biz is Boss Hog. I mean, why mess around with those pissy little punk engines when you could have a real manley man motor. These bikes would be instant babe magnets, or even dude magnets for the babes and other persuasions.

    Well I have done it. The VFR 1200 DCT has gone and a brand new Crossrunner is in the garage. The next few days are taken up with work so I wont be able to report much until I get a decent ride on it. Hopefully the luggage will be here by next week in time for my trip to Dorset

    Maybe one of the experts here will fly over to UK, sit on the bike without farting on the seat, twist the throttle and pump the levers whilst making vroom-vroom sounds and save you the trouble of making your report. It's the American way.. ;)

    It's good to know that those in your government speak both Arabic and Spanish. It's the American way.

    Hi,

    I'm new here, from Portugal and i bought one. But i only have the bike in the beginning of July.

    I like this bike since i saw for the first time and i took one month to decide if i will buy it or not.
    After read too many opinions in the net and made the testride, i decided to buy the VFR crossrunner because of all features X has. The bike is all what i want, is like this: reliable, beautiful, fun, easy and very very good and a lovely sound.
    simple...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:


    :peace:

    ( I can explain myself better)
    The ride was about 15 minutes but was the enough to feel that I liked and want.
    After that I read everything and continue reading news and opinions. My opinion is that VFR Crossrunner is the bike i'm looking for along time.
    Some power, reliable, beautiful, fun, easy and very very good with lovely sound.
    I'm not experienced on motorcycles over 300 cc, so for me, a short trip was enough to feel good in the bike or not. All over the years I have experienced some bikes over 300cc but no one make me feel like crossrunner. Just curiosity about ~17 years ago was the first test ride i have made was a yamaha yzf 600.
    So, after all this years and km's in many bikes i finaly choose one over 300cc.

    sorry my english :rolleyes:

    EDIT: one last note, I never wanted a bike to reach speeds very large and that's why finally showed up a road bike with power but does not reach very high speeds.

    see it?
