The CBR1100XX is sensible and utterly insane in one nicely presented Honda package. Arguably there’s still no ‘hyperbike’ that delivers ballistic speed, competence, comfort and refinement so well. Two things say a great deal about the significance and success of the Blackbird: First, it wasn’t just more powerful than the preceding ZZ-R1100, it blew it away courtesy of almost 20 extra horses from its FireBlade-derived four allied to groundbreaking aerodynamics.Īnd second, after being on Honda’s books for the best part of a decade, Big H themselves gave up on trying to create a replacement, the eventual VFR1200F was a short-lived disappointment and good, used Blackbirds remain in high demand to this day.
