2011 Honda Crossrunner

2011 Honda Crossrunner that Honda has been releasing sketches of for the past month. A 782cc 90° V4 that’s derived from the VFR800 series, Crossrunner’s liquid-cooled, DOHC motor makes 102hp and 54 lbs•ft of torque. Honda hopes the Crossrunner will fill in a gap that is a cross between a naked street bike and an adventure bike, but has been very clear that it intends the Crossrunner to be a road-only machine (the Honda Crosstourer Concept should fill the off-road need just fine).

Sans a shaft-drive, the Honda Crossrunner will come with a chain final drive, uses an evolution of the VFR’s VTEC valve system for its 16 valves, and features Honda’s combined-ABS braking system. Road warriors get excited because the 2011 Honda Crossrunner comes with a 5.68 gallon tank.

2011 Honda CB1000R – Paint That’s Too Cool for the USA

2011 Honda CB1000R

The 2011 Honda CB1000R gets only minor revisions for 2011, but still the naked version of the CBR1000RR continues to be “too cool” for the United States is finally coming to the United States!, and flaunts that fact with its revised color scheme and revised LED front head lamp. We’re not sure why Honda doesn’t bring over the CB to the United States, considering how popular the street-naked segment is becoming, and the fact that the CB1000R’s biggest rival, the Z1000 is available in the USA as well.

Honda could be planning a small CBR250RR for the European market as a bike for new and less experienced licence holders. According to reports the CBR250RR could be brought to Europe next year, after establishing itself as a successful model in its class in Japan.

The hypothesis is that Honda could use the 250cc motor from the CRF cross model in an alluminium chassis, with a few touches to make it more robust for street use. If the plan is to bring such a model to Europe, Honda has more than one option at its disposal, as the smaller V2 from the VTR250 could also fit the bill.
