You can see he's been riding a Harley for 14 years, he's not leaning in the curves!

Great video on the Honda Crosstourer! I have the Honda 750XDct and love that! Perfect height as I am a tall woman and the handlebar placement is on point with my long arms and best of all Im sitting upright and not in a slouch position like the cruiser I had previously. The ride is so smooth and I'm sure it's the same on the Crosstour. I find the seat a wee uncomfortable too especially on a long ride. Theres a Shad seat with foam tgat can raise the seating position a little bit and make for a more comfortable ride. 👍

I am considering this bike for my next purchase but other reviews talk about how unsophisticated / intrusive / and annoying the traction control system is versus the newer version found on the Africa Twin. I know you can shut it off but ideally you want it to work well enough so that you don't just automatically switch it off for every ride. I would love to hear some opinions about how people feel it works on this particular bike and how they set it to work for them.

In regard to this being a tall bike, how tall of a person do you need to be to be comfortable putting your feet down at stops, etc. I'm 5'10".

Great one before, regretted selling it....

It's a great looking bike, really needs cruise control though....

[GaMeOvErRules]

ugh I so want to get my license and this bike.

[gunnyshoes]

cruise control and lose the beak, or i would have one.

What Honda could have done with a 1200+ cc V4. But didn't. Funky V-angle, funky firing order. So BLAND. Sounds like a small displacement old-school Triumph Bonneville.
