New To Crosstourer

[Veefer]

Hi folks,
I'm Andy from Leeds and I've been lurking around here for a while.  After 8 years on a Tiger 1050 I was looking to change two years ago. I tested the Explorer 1200 and a Crosstourer DCT.  I went with my head rather than my heart and decided on the Triumph.  BIG mistake!  I never really gelled with it at all.  It would flop into corners and I could never get on with Triumph's programming of the fly by wire throttle, which gave the feeling of having a massively loose throttle cable with lots of free play (if you see what I mean!). Also it seemed flat as a fart below 3000 compared to my old 1050.
 Anyway here I am now with the bike I should have bought in the first place Its a 2019 DCT.

I don't see the 2019 model on Honda website.  The last model was 2017.

Asct17:  The last model in the US was 2017.  Things are different across the pond.

Veefer:  Welcome to the club.  It's an addictive machine.

Ernest_T_Bass: No it is not.  That latest version on the UK website that I see is for the Black/Red color scheme.  If you look at the link it says vfr1200x-2016.   Crosstourer was not produced after 2017.

According to my VIN my model is VFR1200XD-J which on another thread (Which model do I have ?) is a 2018 model year.

Mine is 2017.  Go to this website.  It will decode it for you.  Then let me know.
