European Honda Microfiche..?

I've done some light searching on Google for a European Honda powersports supplier with a microfiche on their website, but have come up empty handed. Does anybody know of one?

No UK one's as far as I know, so I generally use Ron Ayers to find the part no. and then use the 'search by part no.' function at http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/ to find and order parts.

Wow, is that what they are new? I have thought about this myself.
Wasn't the Firestorm more popular in Europe? You would think there would have to be some newer tanks poping up on UK Ebay, or at least parted out in boneyards in Europe.

Wicky, hook us North Americans up!

Plenty of tanks turning up on ebay.co.uk though later ones are rarer and seem to fetch a premium price. Still, if you get one it'll be way cheaper than $860 though delivery will still be a shocker!

And the numbers are not in your favor, Inde! Most of the entire Superhawk production was done in the earlier years. I can't remember the stats but I think that 80% of all Superhawks were sold in the first three years. The later years sales figures for North America (includes CA) were less than 130K bikes total. Most of those prob went to the states so the number of larger tanks avail from CA are going to be scarce and prob never make it out of a local market.
