Wow! Just noticed on the Honda motorcycle page that the VFR1200X is coming to US in 2016!

I'm tempted! Between the Africa Twin and changes to the 2016 NCX it is looking like 2016 might be a new bike year for me!
If anything it's the S10's lethargic dull motor ( I know, it's a relative thing. Compared to the NC700X it's a rocket ship but in comparisons across the pond the S10 comes in last behind the GS and CT. )Just out of curiousity, for all those in favour of this bike, what would the particular appeal be, over a Yamaha Super Tenere? My riding buddy has the Super Ten and he loves the thing.
I don't think I've heard of any particularly grim and fatal flaws with the big Yammie, and it's a big, 1200cc comfy barca lounger of a beast, with shaft drive, tubeless spoke wheels, 270* crank for that awesome V-Twin-like sound, 26,000 mile valve inspections (!) enough rugged simplicity (plain model) for technophobes, or more electro gizmos (ES model with cruise control, electric suspension adjust etc.) for technophiles and so on. I don't picture the Honda being any better/worse on road or off, to any real matter of importance. The blue colour is beautiful!
A style thing, or mega brand loyalty, or...?

True with most bikes. That is why most drops are at low speed in places like gas stations or driveways. Then one finds out how heavy it really is. This 63 year old out of shape guy can and has picked up his NC. Once in mud and once at a gas station.Oh the Crosstourer is heavy indeed, but when you start moving, all the weight seems to disappear.
I know, but CT feels really agile once you take your legs of ground, I only noticed how heavy it was when I wanted to push it into my garageTrue with most bikes.
