8 Years and still loving it

[Hamish]

Hi All
Bought my CT in 2012 and still loving it.
Never been back to the Shop. Do all my own servicing and still runs like a Top.
Dropped a few times due to occasional bouts of Ducks Disease.
A Friend bought one but sold it after a year in preference of a BMW GS. Why???
Rarely go to bike shop these days. They seem to have nothing that interests me.
Also have a couple of 1100 Shadows to play with.
Love me Hondas

Hamish,

I fully concur.  Strangely enough I was thinking about the same thing the other day.
2012 DCT with 24K miles on the clock...runs like a dream...never had any issues with her...and still makes me 
I continue to look at other offerings but nothing comes close to the style, build-quality and reliability.
Continue to enjoy...I know I will.

Sounds like True Love.....In a machinery kind of way

Hi Hamish I too feel the same about about my 2012 VFR1200X Crosstourer absolutely love it & have also been a Honda person for some time as owned 3 Blackbirds prior to this Honda. Should try & catch up for a chat & a coffee plus a ride one day if your keen as I'm on North Side of Brissy & haven't found too many other owners of these bikes that you can  sit down & chat with. Only issue I have is not being able to get hands on a service book for this model as I also don't mind tinkering on my bikes also.

Cheers Ken.

Hi Hamish. 

You pose a very good question.... WHY OH WHY...........!

Hi All,
The way the weather is at the moment here on the Suny Coast i cant seem to pick a good day for riding the crosstourer lately, with the storms and rain around.  I think the best time for a ride is at the crack of dawn .
Its a lot cooler...out for 2or 3 hours before the heat sets in for the day and the storms in the afternoon.
Ive done this a number of times over the years and it gets you going for the rest of the day.

Hi Ken
I agree. CT owners are getting scarce these days. There were a few around earlier on but seem to have disappeared. Perhaps we should get together for a drink and a chat.
I live on the Southside so pick a place and PM me..
Cheers

So true. Been hissing down on the Southside since Friday.
