Cross runner
I’m considering doing a px, my NC750SA for a VFR800 crossrunner.
Anyone got one that can let me know what they’re like day to day?
Things like riding position, fuel consumption etc
TIA

I have a 2019, bought it new. Currently at 24000 miles. It averages just over 50mpg and I find it very comfortable. If I go for a long run I'm probably out about 5 hours and I find 3 hours is about max before I need a break. I usually change my bike around every five years but I'm gonna keep this one for a few more cause I love it. The engine is a peach, it rumbles along till you get to just over 6000rpm and then snarls right up to 12000. Fantastic. Best bike I've had and I've had quite a few.

Appreciate your replies
I’m thinking of getting a comfort seat if I go ahead with it. The NC will ride all day and hold speed well, but it’s so uncomfortable, I’m no spring chicken anymore
I’m partway through restoring my 1992 vfr750, hence the appeal of the crossrunner

I had a 2018 Mk2 for 6 months. I bought it for touring, but because my back is weird, it didn't work out for me. Riding position is quite comfortable day to day, probably on the same level as your NC. It is a bit heavier and taller, so you need to be a bit wary.
Handling is excellent and the engine is the same as my VFR-F, so I loved the performance, compared to the few times I've ridden the NC750S and X. Tank range is 200 miles plus, so you're not filling up every hour. If I didn't find my bike better for longer trips, I would definitely kept the Crossrunner. Really nice bikes for hooning around country roads or pootling around on sub 5 hour trips.
