    Hey, wondering if anyone has had a chance to ride the new VFR1200X (Crosstourer) yet. Thought I'd never sell my VFR 1200, but the new X seems real appealing to me. I like the upright seating position, the seat, the instrumentation, the wheels, the tubeless tires. Looks very good in person, perhaps better than my regular VFR1200. Anyone ride one?
    One downside I see is the smaller windscreen, so I'm not sure I'm going to get the wind protection. The other is that I'm likely going to get hosed on the price of my VFR. Ug.
    Also saw the new Africa Twin. Looks good, but the 1200X really does look more substantial. Hmmm.
    I can't see myself really using either offroad at all, so I'm thinking it would make sense to go with the 1200X.
