The standard screen offers good wind protection, with the optional touring screen even more so. A LCD display shows speed digitally and engine revs in a horizontal bar graph at the top. Average fuel consumption can be read in km/l or l/100 km and there are two trip meters. The instrument cluster is mounted high up for good visibility. The seating position is very neutral and I never tired on the ride. You can also ride standing on the pegs for kilometres on end. At R149 900 for the base model and R172 000 for the Adventure package, the Crosstourer is competitively priced. The Adventure model includes extras valued at R38 000, such as a centre stand, tall screen, top box and panniers to name just a few. I can’t wait to try out the test bike! •
