Based off the VFR1200F, the 2012 Honda Crosstourer comes with traction control, combined anti-lock brakes (C-ABS), and of course an optional dual-clutch transmission. While the Crosstourer shares the VFR&#8217;s 1,237cc V4 motor, the adventure bike model puts out a significantly lower 127hp @ 7,750 ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2012-honda-crosstourer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>9</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Honda Crosstourer Concept</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/honda-crosstourer-concept/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/honda-crosstourer-concept/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 02 Nov 2010 10:07:40 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[adventure bike]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Africa Twin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Crosstourer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DCT]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dual-clutch transmission]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA 2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Enduro]]></category> <category><![CDATA[expedition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda Crosstourer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda Crosstourer Concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda VFR1200F]]></category> <category><![CDATA[off-road]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[V4]]></category> <category><![CDATA[VFR1200F]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=16004</guid> <description><![CDATA[Not to be confused with the Africa Twin, which would be missing two cylinders, Honda returns to its rugged off-road expedition-style adventure past with the Honda Crosstourer Concept.

Super-imposed over the shape of the new VFR, this new concept rendering shows a largely reduced fairing, in anticipation of its more &#8220;adventurous&#8221; segment orientation. If rumors are to believed on the internet, the bike may not share the same 1237cc displacement as its sport-touring cousin, and instead will sport a middleweight ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/honda-vfr-adventure-concept/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>6</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ride Review: Honda Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT)</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/reviews/honda-dual-clutch-transmission-dct/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/reviews/honda-dual-clutch-transmission-dct/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:05:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tim Hoefer</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2010 Honda VFR1200F]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DCT]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dual-clutch]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dual-clutch transmission]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda VFR1200F]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda VFR1200F DCT]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ride report]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ride review]]></category> <category><![CDATA[VFR1200]]></category> <category><![CDATA[VFR1200F]]></category> <category><![CDATA[VFR1200F DCT]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=12867</guid> <description><![CDATA[Perhaps bigger news than the bike itself is the Honda VFR1200F’s much-anticipated dual-clutch transmission (DCT) model. What Honda has developed for the sport bike world is an automatic shifting technology to enhance the rider’s experience. Automatic transmissions are a rare breed in motorcycling, and we have no doubt that some of you out there may be asking: Isn’t part of being on the road and on the bike, about feeling personal freedom?

You have to admit though, the headlight on the new VFR does borrow heavily from the Centurion's jaw-line...enough to make one wonder if it's from the 13th colony of Kobol.
