About The Honda CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird

Unveiled to the public in 1996, Honda's CBR 1100XX "Super Blackbird" brought the leading edge of motorcycle technology to new heights. Even though it provides an awesome 165 horsepower output and a top speed exceeding 300 km/h, this supersport bike is not just about muscle. Its sleek, bullet-nosed wedge-shape styling was the result of extensive wind-tunnel testing. The distinctive "piggy-back" combination headlights allow the Super Blackbird to have an extremely narrow frontal aspect. The cowling, with purposefully sculpted air intakes and outlets, contributes to better aerodynamics while providing comfort and wind protection for the rider.

At the heart of the Super Blackbird lies the 1,137 cc, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine, compact and light in weight. By incorporating a dual-shaft balancer system, this powerful unit revs very smoothly, and annoying secondary vibration is virtually eliminated. Thanks to the low vibration, the engine is directly bolted to the dual-spar, triple box-section aluminium frame without rubber mounts, obtaining even greater overall rigidity. The overall lightness and excellent suspension system enable outstanding agility and manoeuvrability. Positive stopping power is obtained through Honda's Dual-Combined Brake System, which actuates the front and rear brakes by either pulling the hand lever or pressing the foot pedal. The CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird set new standards in every aspect of large-displacement sports motorcycles.
