Supa's New Bike..Revealed !!!!

[Supabird1100]

Well...picked up the new steed yesterday. Rode up to the BMF Tail End Show today with SWMBO on the pillion....and early reports are favourable.

Go on then Lads and Lassies....do your worst and rip me to shreds !!!!! :}

 

[Wolfie]

bloody motorcyclists get everywhere!!!.

 

[RHINO]

Niiiiiiiiice

I like it Steve :bow:

 

[Supabird1100]

but get rid of that ugly fecker who is leaning on it!!!!

Cheers Andy !!!! It's no good telling him to bugger off, Trace told him to go...... but he's still there !!!!

 

[Wolfie]

how was her arseand back afterwards????


Can feel a southend brekkie run in the next month or so coming on.

 

[frenchuk]

Nice one Steve, what counts is that you enjoy your ride, not the opinion of few monkeys - Andy that's funny

 

[Supabird1100]

Rhino.....thanks Mate !!! Glad you like her. Pierre.....the riding position seems to suit my lardy body a little better than the 'Bird, the only thing I miss is that rush of acceleration off of a line.

Andy.....Trace is so relaxed on it she fell asleep on the M11 coming home from Peterborough !!! No arse or back ache at all !!!! :bow:

now THAT is one nice looking transit in the back ground :bow:
not so sure about the bike though,

 

[Supabird1100]

What's them boxy things......Around the back of the tractor. I had heard rumours that some Bikers fitted stuff like this but no evidence until now. Jack the back up (6mm spacer) some shrooms, a different fairing, engine, wheels etc. Could make it okay.

Mac..... the 'boxy things' are a set of Honda luggage. No more stuffing all yer belongings in pockets or a rucksack.....115 litres of secure carrying capacity. The rear shock requires no spacers or jacking up......fully adjustable by means of a remote, easily reached turnwheel. No need for 'shrooms....Honda have thoughtfully provided two crash protectors built into the aerodynamic fairing. Wheels are cast aluminium....as fitted to many other bikes in the Honda range....but powder coated in black for a 'wipe clean' finish. The engine is a silky smooth V4 of proven design but bored out to 1261cc to give increased torque and power.

You don't like it, then ???? :B :B

 

[Paddy Dougan]

Welll done supa!
very swish, you should be able pile on the miles with smiles!!!!!
best a luck!!


:beer: :beer: :beer:

 

[Amsterdam]

You don't like it, then ???? :B :B

Yes!

As a tourer it's superb, but thats as far as it goes, it's not got a foot in both camps like the BB.

Looks good though, sharper than the FJ :beer:

Amsters

 

[Fat Bert]

Supa~~~

Well I never !!!!

A Pan? You?????????? How many cyclinders?????????????????????

No thumping Harley-Moving-Old-Son ???????????????

You fecking traitor!!

She look the biz mate - Enjoy the build quality and reliability of the
























































MIGHTY HONDA

 

[ianrobbo1]

Steve you going on the next "rider education day" on it then??? :dunno:

 

[derek kelly]

Nice bike, there should be a green with envy emoticon :bow:

 

[Supabird1100]

Well I never !!!!

A Pan? You?????????? How many cylinders??????

Four cylinders Bert.....But they are in a V formation !!!!! It's like two Harley lumps bolted together !!!! :}

Heart was set on the Road King....but at ?15k I just couldn't justify it for the type of biking I do. We're looking to move house early next year and my daily commute will be somewhere arond 150/180 miles....the Harley would have been wrecked inside a year being ridden in all weathers.

I see you're thinking of getting a Pan ??......go try one (or if you're down Sarf for any reason, try mine)......but give it a good couple of hours to settle to it. I tried it on a hour test ride and wasn't 100% sure....but Trace and me have been to the BMF show today and that's convinced me I've made the right choice. 220 miles round trip......not one ache or pain.....smooth as silk... not 'exciting' to ride, but practical.

 

[Supabird1100]

Steve you going on the next "rider education day" on it then??? :dunno:

I don't think so Ian. Although ground clearance and cornering shouldn't be an issue......quote from Honda's brochure "Super BlackBird ground clearance 130mm. STX1300 Pan European ground clearance 135mm.

Should I try a track day with me Pan ????......might do better than I did with me 'Bird !!!!!! :} :}

Derek.....green with envy ??? The Pan isn't that much more (realitively speaking) than the 'Bird. Go and try one M8 !!!!! :beer:

 

[Fat Bert]

Supa~~~~

Nice bike - crap camera LOL

Read my "Pan European" thread?

Cycleclips let the cat out of the bag last night whilts he was pi$$ed rond at my place [cost me all of 2 cans of Bass Shandy at 0.000000003% ABV !!!]

 

[mikew]

So....

is SUPABIRD still gonna be Supabird, or is a name change in the offing?

suggestions anyone?

Supapan,?

Souppan?

Bedpan?

gents, the abuse field is wise open ....... :}




(like the colour though ... :lick: )

 

[Supabird1100]

gents, the abuse field is wise open ....... :}

Now THAT'S what I've been expecting Mike !!!!!! I honestly thought everybody on the forum would crucify me but the Pan seems to have raised more positive reaction than negative.

Name change ???...Trace suggested Supa1300 last week, but I'm open to suggestions. (Not Bedpan though) !!! :}
