IXXRA......The Home Of The Superblackbird

I am slightly concerned that two local Honda dealers have informed Deano that the New Bird will not be released this year. The development has not been completed and probably will not be until next year, allowing release of the Bird in the UK market in 2005!!! However MCN yesterday were boasting that they would have pic's of it on September 17th - from the Milan show no doubt.

I feel an e-mail coming on to Honda - If this is the case then I am concerned that prospective buyers will not be able to get hold of a Bird of any kind as supplies seem to have almost dried up totally. :cry)

What's the news on the street?

According to Taz there are four gray birds (or seagulls) that are available to those looking to compensate for a physical shortcoming that they have. :wink)

I've asked both of our dealers about the "new" Bird and neither had an answer that I would really believe since it is clear that BB's are not big sellers here and the salesman dont know shit about the XX

If they can't deliver the new

until 05 then I'm sure that the current model will still be available - even if the dealers have to import them. Honda won't want to lose their market share to the likes of XXAndy :banghead)

and his misguided BusaBuddies!!!

Personally, I don't give a shit because I don't intend to change my

-Y for a long while yet.

I am just glad I was able to get my new one a couple of months ago. I am not convinced about the V-Tec mumbo jumbo anyway. The current model of Blackie is way powerful enough for me and I love it just as it is :wink)

I fell for the Blackbird when it was first released back in 1997, lusted after one for almost 6 years, baught an early one, changed it for a new one after a year and intend to keep this one until mind/body/money runs out. It is the dogs danglies

They are still in awful short supply though although I think the situation is a bit better than it was a few months back.

Thats what i have been told by Miles Kingsport in York Mandy. They are still of the understanding that the new bird will be unveiled at the Milan show, with supplies coming into the shops later.

Seems odd however that there are no 'spy' shots of the baby being tested, as there are with all the other new models.

I've heard something similar too Mand :roll)

Apparently Honda are abit reluctant to release the new

at the same time as the Fireblade replacement, the CBR1000RR, as they fear no 1 will be interested in the new

!

For fooks sake are they stupid ? :toilet:
