Reviews,Books And Accessories For The Honda CBR 1100 Blackbird.

General Comments:

"The Honda CBR 1100 Blackbird is an exquisite motorcycle.It is a bike that you have to love from the start.It has so much to give and asks for very little in return. The one thing it does not give is feedback. This I found to be a risk factor as the bike is so smooth that you sometimes lose sight of the speed you actually travel through bends and mountain passes".

"The bikes handling and power ratio is excellent for its weight and size".

"The bike in general is the best on the market for scratching in the mountain passes, riding long distances to rallies and events, or to the office in heavy traffic. No matter where the Blackbird goes it is treated with respect. . . . . .and deserves it".

"I've just had the pleasure of a week and a half with one of Honda's biggest, and fastest, bikes: the Honda CBR 1100 Super Blackbird. Thankfully, no-one calls it the 'Super Blackbird' but just sticks to the plain and simple 'Blackbird'.
The first thing about the Blackbird to notice is the weight; more precisely, the fact that it doesn't feel like a heavy bike.
Hit the open road and open the throttle and you realise you're sitting on a rocket with wheels. It is very smooth and even in delivery".

"Once the bike's moving the size isn't noticeable and feels pretty close to a nimble sports bike.The acceleration means that you need never get stuck behind a caravan or a sunday driver as only the smallest gaps are needed to power past any car".

"The faring is slightly higher and broader than you generally find with sports bikes and helps keep the wind off on long motorway journeys. Nothing can really help these but I wouldn't want to try a 4 hour ride on anything less now".

"Even round twisting country roads this feels pretty close to a nimble sports bike".

"The front wheel feels pretty nailed to the road"

"Where the bike really shows its breadth of appeal is over long distances and with a pillion passenger and luggage. With two up, the weight of the bike turns into an advantage as you hardly notice there's someone on the back".

"In summary, the Honda Blackbird is a big bike that feels much smaller than it looks, and the power from the 1100cc engine and good faring means adapting to medium distance touring is also very easy".
