[Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawk-11) is all set to release a significantly diverse and versatile range of [crossover motorbike models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlas-and-atlas-gt) in 2016, but the largest of them in terms of size is clearly the VFR1200X Crosstourer. Unlike some of the other crossover bikes set to be released by Honda, this particular model is not being too significantly changed, with Honda taking a 'if it ain't broke, why fix it?' approach.

Having said that, the Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer isn't purely a rehash of its predecessor and does feature some timely updates. For one, its [aerodynamic protection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-r-1300-r-roadster) is now superior thanks to a brand new fully adjustable windscreen. The bike now also has a 12 Volt socket and a fancy two-tone color scheme that makes it more visually appealing than ever.

This is a bike that offers visual appeal and street cred, but more importantly promises high-powered consistent performance.
