2014 Honda CTX700N and CTX700 on sale soon at Southern Honda Powersports

2014 Honda CTX700N and CTX700 will be available soon from Southern Honda Powersports

We at Southern Honda Powersports were pleasantly suprised with the introduction of the Honda CTX700N and CTX700 models and we are really looking forward to hitting the roads around Chattanooga on this bike. Both options take on their own personality. The 2014 CTX700N exudes boulevard cruiser seating position but looks like a modern motorcycle. If you look at the lines on the bike you see an appealing shape that will look just as good downtown Chattanooga as it will downtown Atlanta. The seat height makes the bike VERY accessible to a wide variety of riders.

2014 Honda CTX700N ready to cruise Chattanooga.

The brilliance of Honda engineering shines once again in the form of the 2014 CTX™700N. This is a bike specifically engineered to make motorcycling more approachable, affordable and fun than ever before. Thanks to a low seat height of only 28.3 inches, riders can quickly get acclimated to life in the saddle. Honda's acclaimed automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) provides either a fully automatic mode or the option of more active gear selection via "paddle-shift" type buttons on the handlebar, and the DCT version also comes with an Antilock Braking System (ABS). The 670cc parallel-twin engine features cylinders canted 62 degrees forward for better weight distribution and a lower center of gravity for ease of handling.
This smooth-running fuel-injected engine pumps out loads of low-end and midrange torque to simplify launching from stops even with the optional six-speed manual gearbox, and there's enough power on tap for wherever the road may lead. Beneath the fuel tank cover there's a handy glove box area, and the fuel is carried beneath. All in all, the CTX700N is an amazingly affordable, fun, friendly and comfortable bike that is perfect for everyday rides, weekend trips, two-up exploring or just about anything else you can dream up.

The CTX700 is the next version in the CTX series sporting a full fairing in front of the rider. Some are screaming "DN-01" but if the NC700X and NC700X DCT are any indication, we are in for a MUCH better bike. The DN-01 never had a manual transmission available. It also did not have the DCT transmission. Some would say it was also ugly as sin. The CTX700 is a much better looking, much more modern interpretation of a low seat, feet forward, faired motorcycle. Hard bags are available as well for those that need extra storage. These are similar bags to the excellent setup on the NC700X.

Features & Benefits

- Sophisticated liquid-cooled SOHC eight-valve 670cc parallel-twin engine pumps out abundant torque in the low-end and midrange for easily accessible power.

- An impressively broad torque curve gives the CTX700N a linear and smooth power delivery.

- A relatively long engine stroke (80.0mm combined with a 73.0mm bore) and a high-inertia crankshaft are design elements that add to the CTX700N's extremely tractable power characteristics.

- The 62-degree forward lean given to the cylinder assembly facilitates near-vertical mounting of the single 36mm throttle body for superior intake port positioning and shaping. In addition, special shaping to the combustion chambers further enhance engine combustion efficiency for clean burning and optimal power production.

- An engine balancer shaft quells vibration for smooth, comfortable operation, and rubber-mounted footrests add to rider comfort.

- Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continuously monitors numerous variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture for existing riding and atmospheric conditions, thereby delivering optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions.

Two Model Options:

- CTX700ND with DCT/ABS features a second-generation automatic six-speed Honda Dual Clutch Transmission that uses two hydraulically controlled clutches to deliver quick and smooth gear changes in a choice of three modes: Manual (MT), which allows the rider to shift gears using buttons, and two automatic (AT) modes—S for sport riding and D for everyday use.

- DCT model also features and Antilock Braking System (ABS) to provide full antilock functionality for powerful and secure braking action.

- CTX700N features a manual six-speed transmission.

- Low seat height, along with the new Honda parallel-twin engine design, creates a very low center of gravity, making the CTX700N feel remarkably nimble and fun to ride.

- Fuel capacity of 3.17 gallons and great fuel economy give the CTX700N a long cruising range.

- A rigid and compact diamond-shape steel frame, low center of gravity and plush suspension help make the CTX700N responsive, agile and enjoyable to ride all day.

- Stout 41mm front fork provides 4.2 inches of travel, while the Pro-Link® rear suspension system delivers 4.3 inches of wheel travel.

- A remarkably low seat height of 28.3 inches helps instill rider confidence.

- Open, roomy ergonomics position the rider in a well-balanced seating position for all-day comfort and fun.

- A large array of available accessories allows owners to add just the right combination of capabilities to suit individual preferences and expand their adventures.

This is a REAL motorcycle for people who love to ride and its capabilities will be astonishing once the aftermarket gets a hold of them.

2014 HONDA PIONEER 700-4 ANNOUNCED AND ON SALE THIS SUMMER AT SOUTHERN HONDA POWERSPORTS

2014 Honda Pioneer 4 from Southern Honda

BIG news from Honda Powersports this morning. They have introduced the all new 2014 Honda Pioneer 700-4 side by side and we are very excited here at Southern Honda Powersports! Everyone knows the side by side scene around Chattanooga and the southeast is huge. Everyone also knows if you are looking for the best price on a Honda Pioneer 4, that you are going to get it at Southern Honda.

 While Honda has always had a great workhorse, it's generally been considered more for the farm than for the woods. Well with the all new Honda Pioneer 4, that is changing. The all-new look of the Pioneer 700-4 features new rugged styling and your choice of three colors, Red, Olive or the all-new Honda Phantom Camo™, designed by Honda.

2014 Honda Pioneer 4 at work.

First off, the new Honda Pioneer 700 4 is coming with a 700cc Honda engine known for it's power and reliability. This is not just the engine from the Big Red thrown in.

The Pioneer 4 is boasting an industry 1st "rumble seat" configuration for passengers. This means you get the full functionality of a dump bed and the ability to carry your buddies when the time is right. And you do all of this without sacrificing turning radius or nimbleness like with the Can Am Commander or the Kawasaki Teryx 4. It truly is the best of both worlds.

 Honda has also introduced a new camoflauge patterns called Honda Phantom Camo which looks to blend in more with our indigenous foliage over the old "desert camo". It's a really nice looking pattern and should prove to be durable and stealthy for those woods lovers.

According to American Honda, the Pioneer 4 will boast a full catalog of over 50 accessories initially including a bed extender that allows you to place a full cooler behind the passenger seats and a full cab system with heater and windshield wipers. This is a first for Honda and never offered on the Honda Big Red. You can bet that Southern Honda will carry every accessory available from Honda as well as tons of aftermarket items from ITP, Highlifter, STI and more.

2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B on sale at Southern Honda in Chattanooga.

So it's finally time. We have been anxiously awaiting our first shipment of Honda Gold Wing F6B motorcycles here at Southern Honda Powersports. With 62lbs less weight it is going to be a blast to hit the mountains around Chattanooga, Tennessee to get an idea of how agile the bike is. You can bet one thing, we are going to have the best and lowest price on a Goldwing F6B in Tenessee, Georgia, Alabama or anywhere in the southeast. We have had a lot of folks out of Atlanta asking us about the bikes as well and what mods will be available right off the bat. We have worked with RC Components for years so we will have their full line of wheels as soon as the bike launches. If you want to see the wheels see below or click here to select each one and see how they look on the bike.

 

We have had several questions about the new F6B that we can address here.

 

1. Will the 2013 Gold Wing F6B have reverse?  No, initially Honda will not offer reverse as an option. As the bike is 62lbs lighter and the weight is distributed much lower, the rider should not experience any kind of "tippy" feeling and since the seat is lower more riders will have feet planted on the ground.

2013 Gold Wing F6B Deluxe

2. Will the 2013 F6B have cruise control? Again, electronic cruise control will not currently be available for the F6B. We have been assured that there are several aftermarket solutions in the works. Also there are current solutions avaiable such as Thottlemeister which we already are a stocking dealer for. If you want cruise, we will make it happen.



 

3. Will the F6B windshield be adjustable? No it will not. Honda purposely made the windshield short and non-adjustable. As of right now this can't be changed. You can bolt on a taller windshield if need be.

 

4. Will Navigation be available on the Goldwing F6B? As of writing this it is not available but we are working in house on a kit that utlitzed factory Honda OE parts to convert.

5. Can you trike the F6B? While there isn't currently a kit available, we will work with California Sidecar to develop the kit. It's a Gold Wing so there is no reason that it won't work.

 

There is a TON of interest in this bike from Harley Davidson Road Glide and Street Glide owners to metric cruiser owners wanting to know about it. We are trying to find out all that we can so we know what needs to be done as soon as the bike hits. One thing is for sure, we will have the best and lowest price on them with no fees, great financing options and an unbeatable selection in stock. If we don't have the Honda you are looking for, we can get it. We are Southern Honda and there is a reason we have been the #1 selling Gold Wing dealer since 2004. We love our GL1800!

 

The Goldwing F6B in black. One bad ride!

Red F6B with backrest installed.

 

BOTH COLORS IN STOCK. DELUXE OR STANDARD!

AMA Supercross Round #5 Anaheim from Southern Honda

Angel's Stadium, Anaheim 3

Another round and another winner this week as Ryan Dungey goes from the worst night ever to the best night. Once again we were following the 3rd Anaheim round closely here at Southern Honda and were hoping to see Team Muscle Milk and Team Geico Honda finish consistently and at or near the front. Qualifying started well in the 250 Supercross class with Geico Honda rider Eli Tomac laying down the fastest lap on his 2013 Honda CRF250R. His luck continued in his heat race where he dominated the field and easily moved on to the main event. Tomac's luck did not continue as he got off to a bad start.

Eli Tomac riding hard to catch up to Roczen.

Here is a play by play of what happened:

Time for the 250 West SX Main Event. 15 laps. Joey Savatgy leads Kenny Roczen and Martin Davalos out of the gate!
Not for long though. Ken Roczen goes into first quickly. Martin Davalos moves to second. Savatgy third. Travis Baker is next, followed by Zach Osborne. Eli Tomac is eighth.

At the end of lap five, Roczen is riding just like he’s done when he won the MX2 World Championship. Strong. Aggressive. Smooth. Stylish. And fast. Martin Davalos is running well in second. Although a ways back, Joey Savatgy in third. Eli Tomac has moved up to fourth.

Lap ten: Roczen leading, but Davalos is hanging tough. Eli Tomac is third – a good distance back.
Fourth is Kyle Cunningham, then Travis Baker, Zach Osborne, and Joey Savatgy. Jason Anderson is next. Cole Seely is having a tough ride in 12th.

Ken Roczen has won.

That puts Eli Tomac down 20 points to the Red Bull KTM rider with 4 races to go.

250 West Main Event Results:

1. Ken Roczen – KTM
2. Martin Davalos – KAW
3. Eli Tomac – HON

The 450 Supercross class again was full of ups and downs for our team Honda riders. Canard, Reed and Barcia all qualified right next to each other. In heat 1 Barcia chased Davi Millsaps all race and ended up 2nd place in his heat. Trey Canard was in heat 2 with some of the big hitters but still managed a 4th place.  Then came the main event. Another pileup took out Honda rider Chad Reed once again. Barcia ripped it and stayed with the lead group on his 2013 Honda CRF450R. Here is the play by play:

Chad Reed getting taken out on his 2013 CRF450R

Time for the 450 SX Main Event. 20 laps. It’s barely noticeable … but there is a slight mist failing. Not enough to be considered rain. But maybe enough to mist up riders’ goggles quicker than normal. It’s not affecting the track at all.

It’s Mike Alessi with the holeshot! Ryan Dungey is second! Then Trey Canard and Davi Millsaps. James Stewart follows. Then Barcia. Those top six are close.

Towards the end of the second lap, Mike Alessi goes down. Ryan Dungey is leading. He’s now chased by Davi Millsaps. And James Stewart! Barcia is next, then Canard. Villopoto is ninth. Reed is 11th.

Just Barcia watching a Heat Race.
 

Lap four – Millsaps is hounding Dungey. Stewart right behind. Great race.

Running order at the end of lap five – Dungey, Millsaps, Stewart, Barcia, Andrew Short, Broc Tickle, Chad Reed, Matt Goerke, Kyle Chisholm, Trey Canard … where is Ryan Villopoto? Villopoto has dropped to 16th.

Lap 7 – on a tight left hand corner, Stewart goes inside and passes Millsaps for second. Dungey leads, Stewart now second, then Millsaps.

Halfway point – lap ten. Dungey is starting to pull away. He’s on his way to his first Main Event win of the season. Had to go thru an LCQ to do it. And if he wins, it would make a KTM sweep combined with Roczen’s win in the 250′s.

Running order – Dungey, Stewart, Millsaps, Barcia, Short, Chad Reed, Tickle, Canard, Matt Goerke, Kyle Chisholm, Justin Brayton, and Ryan Villopoto 12th out of 20 riders.
Lap 14. Davi Millsaps passes James Stewart to take back second place! Dungey leads, Millsaps second, Stewart third, Barcia fourth, and Chad Reed is fifth. Trey Canard eighth. Ryan Villopoto ninth.
Barcia battles past Stewart!
Ryan Dungey has won this race. Barcia pulls out a podium spot with a 3rd.


Barcia put in a good ride for a podium spot.

AMA Supercross Round #4 Oakland

Round #4 is here and we at Southern Honda have been on the edge of our seats. See, motocross/supercross is a big deal here in Chattanooga, TN. Almost like a religion. Some guys spend their Sundays lapping their favorite track or blasting through the woods. Some pray more riding dirt than they do in church the next week between casing out jumps and catching rocks the wrong way at high speed. As always, we are rooting for our boys (and girls @AshleyFiolek67 ;) ) on their Hondas dirtbikes. The 2013 CRF450R has been performing very well under a wide variety of riders. These top riders are using the new KYB PSF Air Forks with great feedback turning into corners. As always the 2013 CRF250R has been ripping it up front with its updated suspension and Honda PGM FI fuel injection. No doubt, these bikes are class leading. Want these Honda dirtbikes at the best price in the southeast? Call Southern Honda Powersports. 

Trey Canard wheelie into the stadium!

It was a tough weekend for Honda riders as a result of crashes and pile ups. Once again the 250 Supercross class was hotly contested between Honda riders Cole Seely and Eli Tomac. In 250SX Heat 1 Honda rider Eli Tomac went down in the first corner but ended up recovering for a 7th place finish which put him into the Main Event by the skin of his teeth. Seely pulled out a 4th. At this point, he's the point's leader. But not for long. Here is the play by play of the main:

15 lap 250 SX West Main Event – 9:26pm. Joey Savatgy on the 176 KTM in the lead! At the end of the first lap, it’s Cole Seely with the lead, and Ken Roczen giving chase!

On the second lap, while running eighth – Eli Tomac goes down!

As we start lap three – Seely has a nice lead over Roczen, Jason Anderson is third. Joey Savatgy is next, followed by Martin Davalos and Christian Craig. Eli Tomac is 18th.

The top five after five laps are very spread out. Seely, Roczen, Anderson, Davalos, Savatgy. And then Tomac crashes again! He’s on the side of the track – and he’s not getting up quickly. He is heading back to the pits ….

Lap 12. Roczen has closed up right on Seely for the lead. And in a tight right hand corner, makes the pass for the lead! With Tomac out, and Roczen headed for the win, Roczen will definitely take over the points lead.
Kenny Roczen has won! And taken over the 250 West points lead! Cole Seely second, Jason Anderson third.

Obviously, this is not the result we hoped for Tomac being that he was the points leader but Cole Seely put in a tremendous ride to end of with 2nd place. Realize that in the 250 Lites class, the smallest mistake and your falling back. As good as the CRF250R is, even it can't overcome full on crashes in this class. These are the best 250 riders in the world and the championship is getting interesting.

The 450 Supercross main was a tough one for our Honda guys Justin Barcia, Trey Canard, and Chad Reed. After banging through his heat race Trey Canard ends up second place on his way to the main. Then it happened. Villipoto pulls off a wicked holeshot and carnage breaks loose in turn one. Here is the play by play:

The 450 SX 20 Lap Main Event – 9:57pm. Big pile up in the second corner – at least five riders. One rider involved is Chad Reed. He’s first to get going. Josh Grant is another rider – he’s next to get going. James Stewart is another rider involved in the crash. He’s up and running – but very slowly.
Ryan Villopoto is out front. Justin Brayton is running second. Davi Millsaps is third. Mike Alessi fourth. Vince Friese is next. Ryan Dungey is in ninth. Trey Canard is 14th. Chad Reed 17th. Josh Grant 18th. James Stewart 19th – but has pulled out of the race. Justin Barcia is
20th – but also out of the race.


The crash – you can see Dungey was affected, Brayton’s bike, Josh Grant’s bike, Chad Reed (black helmet with Monster logos), James Stewart, Trey Canard, and other carnage …

Ryan Villopoto is already running away with this race on lap five. Davi Millsaps has moved into second – he’s eight seconds behind Villopoto. Third place is Justin Brayton, fourth is Mike Alessi.
Dungey seventh. Canard 10th. Reed 16th. Grant 18th. Again – Stewart and Barcia are out of this race.

On lap 16 Villopoto is out front by over 10 seconds over Millsaps, Ryan Dungey has moved to third. Then it’s Alessi fourth, Canard up to fifth. Canard makes the move on Alessi to move into fourth … Chad Reed is 12th.

Ryan Villopoto has won this race. Davi Millsaps takes a nice second – and maintains his series points lead as the series heads back to Anaheim next Saturday. Ryan Dungey finishes third.

So basically Barcia tanked it and got hurt, Reed got up and pulled out a 12th and our boy Trey Canard ripped it all the way back up to 4th. One year off a broken back, this kid is no joke. We are looking forward to Anaheim.



Chad Reed pulled out a respectable finish considering.
