Motorcycle specifications HondaCBR 1100 XX Super Blackbird 2007 Very high velocity
at the end of 1996, Honda presented the first machine capable of topping the 300 km/h mark. A minor revolution, for in creating the TGV supercar category, the world's leading manufacturer also unveiled an aesthetic success combined with unprecedented aerodynamicsit also boasted unprecedented aerodynamics (inferior to that of a 250 GP), a super-powered engine that was particularly smooth and torquey, and very (too) well bred: the mechanics offer little feel and no vibration. The chassis is superb: smooth, efficient suspension, highly effective dual-CBS braking, a generous perimeter frame - the Blackbird offers the agility of a 750 while delivering mind-boggling performance. In 1999, it inherited forced-air intake and fuel injection, offering enhanced flexibility and riding pleasure, although protection was too limited, the rider's position a little too sport-oriented and that of the passenger moderately user-friendly. It also saw the emergence of 2 formidable rivals: the Suzuki 1300 GSX-R Hayabusa and the Kawasaki ZX-12 R, boasting even more impressive power figures. But the CBR 1100 XX proves to be almost as efficient, while preserving a certain ease of riding, comfort and homogeneity that its rivals can't boast.

Heavy at rest, weighed by me at 259.5kg with anti-theft device, a few knick-knacks. Externalized regulator with electric fan, runs on 100% E85 with a 5€ modification since its 25,000km, double-curved bubble
Qualities: maneuverable, lively, engine that pushes hard at all revs (205cpt at full 3), integral braking that makes everything easy, large fuel tank (important because today's sports bikes are equipped with water bottles!), real horn, center stand, speedometer graduated up to 320 km/h
Weaknesses: comfort (dry), straps too tight (I spread them as wide as I could by filing the handlebar stops, so I could touch the dashboard while steering hard), passenger sliding on the front (original saddle), very supportive position (more so than a 2001 gsxr1000), waddles a bit when riding like a pig, lighting code bad when cornering
This winter, when it's really cold, I'll be adjusting the valves and changing the brake pads. Of the 3 bikes I've owned, this is by far the best, because it's the most accomplished. Sometimes, before selling the Fazer 1000, I'd take it (the FZS) and feel like I was on a trail bike with a soft frame and weak suspension. In the early days, the CBRXX reduced the feeling of speed, so I was always coming in too fast
I switched to Rosso2s (good), Contiroadattack2s (not bad but more GT), SporsmartTTs (excellent), Power RS+s (very good) and now, for winter, Sportsmart MK3s (very good). I used to ride angel gt2s, too lively for this machine. I sold them
I think the bike is well made, serious and built to last. When you buy a 20-year-old bike, even one with so few kilometers on it, the quality shows. Rating : 4/5 Respond to glopglop91
I'm going to buy one on Saturday
What's your E85 modification please? Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
i've already driven over 100,000 km without any major problems
reached 119,200 Km and she's running like clockwork
it's the duo ride the passenger's legs are too high, especially when she's
she's over 1m700, normal fuel consumption between 6 and 7 liters and still
well-priced second-hand, which is starting to be rare Rating : 4/5 Respond to XX du 62
j'ai 48ans, Ma 3eme moto, apres 1 vara 125 et un cbf600, j'ai ressenti la même différence en passant de la 125 au 600 que du 600 à la cbr, rien a voir, tu tournes la poignée ca part ... attention en duo elle à une facheuse tendance à lever (modele 2000 en full) en 2, limite en 3, déconseillé pour jeune donc ca prend 200 tresss vite (3eme), sinon freinage sans abs mais couplé et ca freinage tres fort ! not very comfortable maneuvering (stop/half-turn) but as soon as it's rolling it's ok, the pressure on the forearms is a bit of a flaw (quick numbness of the right hand to be expected) otherwise the original saddle is quite comfortable, no back problems either, for the SDS the footrests are a bit too high. in short, happiness :) Rating : 5/5 Respond to bart

currently riding a CBR1000F, I'm thinking of changing next year
i would like to know the positive and negative points of the 1100 XX compared to the CBR1000F
thank you for your answers
bonne route a tous Rating : 2/5 Respond to FRED42
The XX is an excellent choice. The bike is very homogeneous, with suspensions that provide great comfort. The engine's availability is exemplary, but it's very linear
Beware, it's a missile that masks a lot of speed. Without realizing it, you're going fast, very fast. It's also a big baby that needs to be taken along in tight bends. You can't improvise like with a VFR.
Strengths: an engine that's always full, an exemplary chassis, top-notch braking... light years more efficient than the CBR 1000 F
Weaknesses: average protection, substantial weight, tire budget and full license trap. Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation
thank you for your reply which gave me the information I was looking for
thanks

Linear engine, power and torque... a real potato! must-have braking.rear shock absorber... 55,000 km on the odometer, regular maintenance... A word of advice: treat yourself, try one out (in moderation...) Rating : 5/5 Respond to jojo 13
Well, I've found it.....
The XX is the best in its segment and I wouldn't change it for any other !!!!! Rating : 5/5 Respond to GETYS
how can i have or download the catalog so i can order spare parts
thanks Rating : 1/5 Respond to djadi
Nothing to complain about apart from the weight. Easy enough to get used to, but sporty riding takes practice Rating : 5/5 Respond to titipourvous
