Honda 2016 VFR1200X Coming to the US!

[670cc]

I like it in Unobtainium White (for the U.S., anyway).

Well it's definitely much better looking than the NC. Can't take that away from it. And 125hp V4 sounds appealing.

Do not expect to get the same Fuel Mileage...

I've ridden 3 versions of CT: 2013 Manual and DCT and 2014 DCT. Loved them all. Good engine, low center of gravity, comfortable. There are few videos on my channel too about the CT.

"Better" is a subjective term. More hp is only one factor. For my needs and desires I believe the NC is better.

Oops I meant to say better looking. Subjective as well but I think we can reach an overall consensus.

Gets into preference of form over function or function over form. As an engineer I find the function beautiful.

Nothing for you to smear some unobtainium on a black one, huh?

Fuelly shows average fuel mileage of 37 mpg. That's down around KTM territory. Yuck!

You know that there are 2 more cylinders and 3 more throttle bodies feeding the fuel to the engine, right?

With all those things considering, 37 MPG is not the bad, 120 HP too

Ride a VFR and your zero equally and on average you'll have the gas mileage of an NC.

37 MPG IS bad for the Crosstourer. My GL1800 has 50% more displacement, a door for a fairing, weighs over 1200 pounds loaded with rider and passenger, and I average 42 MPG with it. I even get better than 37 pulling a trailer. The Fuelly bell curve has GL1800 riders at about 39 MPG.

You would need to factor in the GL's typically optimistic odometer, but still . . .

One inch taller, and no landing gear.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll stick with what I got now.

I've found my perfect Motorcycle Zen and do not what to upset that balance...

Thank you for clarifying that. I marvel at your ability to grasp difficult concepts like cylinder counting.

I don't care if it has 1,200 horsepower and 43 cylinders with two throttle bodies feeding each one, I don't like the mileage. It has even less range than the NC with 3.7 gallons on board. Adding an aux. tank to a 630 lb. motorcycle (plus whatever touring load) and it is just another road barge. It may lose its weight "at speed", but mine are never "at speed" when I am lifting them off their sides.

Maybe you should eat a SNICKERS!!!

C'mon fellow motorcycle enthusiasts, let's lighten up pretty please 'k?
