Honda Crossrunner 800
The Honda Crossrunner 800 has a top speed of 220 km/h (estimated), produces 102 hp and weighs 228 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
De Honda Crossrunner werd in 2011 geïntroduceerd als een middelgrote avontuurlijke toermotorfiets, gebouwd rond het VFR800 V4-motorplatform, waarmee de kloof tussen sport en avontuurlijk rijden werd overbrugd. In 2015 kreeg het een belangrijke update met een herziene styling, verbeterde elektronica en verbeterde comfortfuncties. Opvallend vanwege het soepele karakter en de veelzijdigheid van de V4-motor, werd hij rond 2018 stopgezet toen het segment voor avontuurlijke reizen verschoof naar modellen met een grotere cilinderinhoud.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The sensible rider's V4 — unglamorous, unbreakable, surprisingly satisfying."
$5,500-$8,500 usedThe Crossrunner sits in a weird middle ground that Honda never quite explained to the market, but that's actually your gain when hunting used. It shares its 800cc V4 engine with the VFR800 — that butter-smooth, characterful motor that revs clean and sounds properly exotic — stuffed into a more upright, practical package. Ergonomics suit longer legs better than the VFR, and the standard luggage provisions make it genuinely useful for commuting or touring weekends. Reliability is Honda-grade bulletproof. Most used examples have been maintained decently because owners who buy V4s tend to care about them. Check the chain and sprockets, inspect the throttle bodies for dirt ingestion, and verify the service history on the valve clearances — they're not difficult but owners skip them. Pre-2015 bikes had some fuelling hesitation low down; post-facelift 2015-onwards models fixed that noticeably. The trade-off is that it's not exciting in the way a Multistrada or Tiger is. It's competent, comfortable, and completely unfussy — which depending on your riding, is exactly what you want.
