Just thought I'd peruse some photos of Pan Euros after reading some of Monty's posts lately, never a big fan of the look (Not a fan of fairings for a start) along with the Pan Clan creeps such as my Uncle but I came across this on my searching.........

Think this would be my ideal bike do it all bike Shocked (reminds me of the old flat 4 Goldwing which I quite like).

Are you sure?

You've got no wind protection for high speed cruising....you're overweight for backlane blasting...it's still too big & heavy to filter easily & all the existing hard luggage has been removed in favour of less secure soft luggage thus costing you the pillion seat!

It's like a pan, but minus all the features that make one worth having Neutral

This bike is basically "If the Tuono V4 was made 20 years ago".

I can sort of see the (rather warped) appeal... "Super-Maggot".. the worm that turned! Or maybe "Pan-B - I love it when a Pan comes to pieces'.... as for the Pan-Clan.. they could be worse, they could have named themselves 'Pan's People' (If you are under 40, you'll probably have to google to 'get' that one).

Do you ever get tired of spewing words from your colon?

Why does the luggage have to go?with the fairing removed its no heavier than an xjr1300 say, and whut?

if you have trouble filtering on that you need to give up riding.

I agree with the lack of wind protection and to an extent the luggage situation. However, I think you should ride a Pan before you slag of it's weight and handling (you're welcome to a go on mine if you end up coming to the July EuroJolly). I'm not a fast rider; however I felt very confident on it through all of the twisty roads and mountain passes whilst up in Haggisland last week (I was taking some of the bends at 70-80mph).

With regards to filtering, I have to agree I do find it a bit of a squeeze at times due to the width of the mirrors. Although, this bike does not have the standard mirrors or even panniers so I don't see why this one would be any harder to filter on than any other large(ish) bike.

EDIT: Another point to note: Marm's Pan has no fairing like the one pictured above and he told me that mine felt noticeably heavier than his. So you can take a good few KGs off the stock weight for that one you like the look of Moxy Thumbs Up

I rather like that Smile I always had a soft spot for the original unfaired gold wing myself and that's a bit remeniscent of it. Smile

Looks like an overgrown CB500, I'm guessing thats where the clocks are from? Laughing Me likey Thumbs Up

Having the big fairing off the front could possibly help with mass centralisation and whatnot, but don't take my word for it.

I saw one of these on Friday at the Newcastle Honda dealership. Fairly gorgeous bike. Smaller than I expected, for a 1300.

Well it fits my wants for looks (not going to sugarcoat it I like the naked aesthetic enough to compromise a degree of comfort, it ain't stunning but its acceptable to me), capability (reliable, good mpg with a nice flexible motor) and accessibility (I like to be able to get an engine for easy road side maintenance should I need too).

High speed cruising, eh I'm quite happy at 80/90 on a BMW R1100R with a screen (much higher than that & I'm out of my comfort zone for 'cruising') but I just don't like the boxer engine that much (or the gearbox), I also quite like the Yamaha Bulldog but it doesn't have the same continent touring reputation as the Pan (described as a bit asthmatic performance wise too).

I happen to know of cheap crash damaged ST1100 nearby too........ Razz

If something could be done to hide the ugly plumbing around the radiator and maybe replace the exhaust with a shiny stainless one then it might look pretty neat, it looks a bit of a dog as it stands though. One of the best things about the Pan is the fairing, probably because the engine isn't the prettiest lump hidden behind it.
