Honda Crossrunner 800
The Honda Crossrunner was introduced in 2011 as a mid-size adventure-touring motorcycle built around the VFR800 V4 engine platform, bridging the gap between sport and adventure riding. It received a significant update in 2015 with revised styling, improved electronics, and enhanced comfort features. Notable for its smooth V4 engine character and versatility, it was discontinued around 2018 as the adventure touring segment shifted toward larger-displacement models.

What Buyers Should Know
VFR800 Engine Reliability
The Crossrunner shares its V4 engine with the legendary VFR800, known for exceptional longevity often exceeding 100,000km with proper maintenance. The gear-driven cams eliminate cam chain tensioner issues common in other bikes.
Watch the VTEC System
Early models use Honda's VTEC valve system, which can cause hesitation or jerky power delivery if oil changes are neglected, as sludge blocks the VTEC solenoid. Always check full service history before buying.
Strong Resale Value
The Crossrunner holds its value well due to limited production numbers and strong demand from riders wanting a practical V4 adventure-tourer. Low-mileage examples are particularly sought after in the used market.
