2017 Vfr1200x

This is the maintenance schedule and associated service intervals for the Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer.

The Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer is an adventure-styled motorcycle and most definitely a street machine, however, it does have some off-road capability. The "X" first appeared in Europe in 2011 as the Crosstourer. The VFR1200X is powered by Honda's incredible 1237cc, 76-degree Unicam V4 with an attractive metallic Pearl Black paint. The front gets a single headlight setup with no LEDs and below it sits the cute small beak and above is an adjustable windscreen.

About the Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer

The VFR1200X is powered by Honda's incredible 1237cc, 76-degree Unicam V4. The motor, previously used in the discontinued VFR1200F, has been re-tuned to produce even more low-and mid-range grunt; it is deceptively powerful.

The throttle-by-wire system also uses cables to give the rider more feel and a smoother application. It works in conjunction with an impressive suite of electronic aids that have three levels of traction control (plus Off), that combine with the top-notch linked ABS brakes.

The Honda VFR1200X's suspension works exceptionally well. Clearly, because of the engine's prodigious power output, the suspension has to be on the firmer side, as this bike is more than capable of spirited sport riding.

It is a very good-looking motorcycle and unlike its predecessor, the VFR1200F, the X model doesn't suffer from an identity crisis. The Adventure theme is enhanced by the spoked wheels (19″ front, 17″ rear) that come shod with Pirelli Scorpion Trail tires, which grip well and allow for modest off-roading.

The windshield provides very good wind protection. Short of an electrically adjustable screen, this has to be the easiest to operate adjustable windshield ever. It is one-hand height adjustable from the seat, using a large easy to use the lever on the left.
