Just had its 1000km service, and loving it!
Have installed headlight protector, R&G radiator protectors, and rear hugger from VFR800F fit perfectly onto the Crossrunner.
Happy days...

Sweet. How do you find the differences between the 2 models? I would imagine most folk would be interested in why. :beer:
I assume the riding position is more user friendly. How does the handling compare, and do you know if a pipe from the 800F will fit the 800X?
Did you ride a Yamaha Tracer?
VFR800F was too hard on my wrists, backside and kideneys where as the Crossrunner was an absolute winner!
Upright riding position was the key! No more what so ever. Handling is slightly different as you are upright, and feel taller, but it handles just as well as the VFR800F. The downside is the wind buffeting is not as great, but can probably be fixed with a taller screen.
800F and 2015 800X are identical wrt chassis and engine, so pipes should fit both. The rear hugger I had on the VFR800F went onto the Crossrunner with no issue.
In addition, the Crossrunner has 2 levels of traction control and all round LED lights.
Yeah, I test rode the Yamaha Tracer. Not bad, but found the throttle to be quite sensitive and the build quality of the VFR's felt superior to the Tracer ;)
If only this was stateside....

I've got an MT09. The fueling is a bit twitchy...
