History

A while back I contributed to another blog about the Honda Pan European motorbike. That blog still appears on Google searches for Honda Pan European, but it hasn't been updated for ages. Unfortunately, I have lost the password details to allow me to use that blog, so I created a this one to continue sharing my Pan-experiences.

I'm on my third Pan now. All of them have been the 1300cc model. I've never ridden the 1100cc version so I can't comment on the differences.

Pan one was a late 2003 base model, no ABS no electric screen in silver.

Pan two was a 2004 model this time with the electric screen but no ABS. Fire engine red!

Pan three is a 2008 with ABS and electric screen, but no auxiliary socket (a step backward Mr Honda). Honda say it's black, but depending on the light it can be green, blue, silver or dark grey, but not black (except perhaps in pitch darkness, but then everything is black).

This blog isn't going to be exclusively about my Pan. My Pan is the core element, but this blog will also discuss motorcycling in general, road safety and anything else that links to me riding my Pan.
