Honda describe the Crossrunner as having 'taut long-travel suspension' and it’s a bloody good description. The forks and shock might not have the option of high-tech semi-active damping and automatic electric preload, but the VFR800X doesn’t miss such embellishments.The suspension is firm, composed and lets the bike scurry through corners with impressive pace and composure, yet has deliciously plush damping and generous wheel travel that hide potholes and deliver a sumptuous ride. The riding position is great too, with a wide, deep, soft seat that’s got a pleasing '90s feel to it. You’ll happily perch in it all day.There’s a unique character to Honda’s VTEC-equipped 782cc engine. Though VFRs haven’t used gear-driven cams for a while (boo) there’s still a whirring clock-like sound to the V4, backed up with a glorious exhaust sound.VTEC isn’t actually variable valve timing. Timing is fixed; what the system does is change from two valves per cylinder at lower revs to four valves per cylinder at higher revs. It gives the V4 a distinct powerband, and with more top-end revs than a rival twin the Honda feels urgent and engaging.This isn’t to say it’s not tractable lower down. Crack the throttle at 30mph in third gear and the Crossrunner falls behind a Yamaha Tracer or BMW F900XR in side-by-side tests, but in real life riding the Honda has plenty of flexibility, with clean low-rev drive and midrange thrust. There’s a slight off/on fuelling step but it’s no worse than any alternative bikes.Quick, clean gearshift action too – old fashioned clutchless up-shifts are slicker on the Honda than using the quickshifter on most rival bikes.Don’t be put off by the lack of riding modes, semi-active ride or infinitely variable traction control. The Crossrunner may not have the very latest blingy extras but the base specification is loaded with useful standard-fit toys. There’s three-level traction control (easily adjusted on the move), ABS, five-level heated grips, power socket, self-cancelling indicators and LED lights.SpecsEngine size 782ccEngine type 16v Vtec, DoHc, liquid-cooled parallel V4Frame type Aluminium twin-sparFuel capacity 20.8 litresSeat height 815mmBike weight 242kgFront suspension 43mm forks, preload and rebound adjustableRear suspension Monoshock, preload and rebound adjustableFront brake 2 x 310mm discs, four- piston calipers.
