All good things must come to an end. And it looks like the Blackbird is no more if MCN are to be believed :rolleyes: The picture of the 'replacement to the iconic Blackbird' is a Sports bike, not a Sports/Tourer. Time will tell.



Now wheres the nearest BMW dealer to me??

Whats really scaring me is that Bert predicted this would happen some time ago!! I vote we get the title "mystic Smeg" added to the "Total ladyparts!"

Could make that Fat Bert "Totally mystic smeggy ladyparts!"??

If it's got upside down forks it will looks the dogs nuts in my opinion :yo:

It's bound to have a super hi tech engine with all that fancy bollox VTEC valves etc which come servicing time will require holding up the local bank :shooter: to cover the cost of said service.

If all six lotto numbers come up.......i will have one :lol:

My point about this new bike is that it will not be a Sports/Tourer, judging by the picture in MCN it will be a sports bike, and as such (looking at the seats etc) it will be uncomfy over long hauls, and where would the luggage fit?

As a sports bike, yes it looks good.

As a Blackbird, no way!

Looks like the new BMW is one of the options as a replacement for a Blackie, maybe Honda just cant be arsed trying to keep up with BMW now.

Ah well guess its a Pan Euro next for me.

You don't honestly believe that it will look anything like the MCN piccies :eek: or have anywhere neaer the same spec as they are bleating about, bloody hell next Next Honda will be sacking their entire R&D team to hire the MCN staff :lol: :lol: :lol:

You are most proberbly right Skips, but its a bit naughty of MCN to print something like that which could in extreme cases affect sales of whatever Honda do come up with. Time will tell I guess. :-:
