Hi Chilled !
I grow up in Lisbon ( bairro dos Olivais)  but due to my job I'm living  in the West Coast near Torres Vedras . My CrossRunner is from 2012 , it has several 'extras' and 15.500 kms on the clock.
I bought her in '2nd hand' a few days ago, trading it with my previously CB500 X.
I know that the new model has some 'upgrades' but I was anxious to change my 500 X ( very funny bike but with no engine enough and not much comfortable to do long journeys ) .
To be honest, I pretended to buy the Kawasaki Versys 1000 (2015 model) but I choosed not to wait the time needed to save more money to buy a new one and I invested my avaiable money buying this used 2012 Crossrunner model.
I hope I did it well 'cause I think that is also a good machine and good enough for my needs. The Honda is my favourite japanese motorcycle brand too .
Cumprimentos, 

p.s. My concernings about this first Crossrunner model are about the fuel comsumptions ! Is significant the difference between the 'old' and the new model ? What are the values ?
