HONDACBR1100XX Super Blackbird 2000 - 2001

　　The Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird was a motorcycle part of the CBR series manufactured from 1996 to 2007 as a competitor to the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11, which was the fastest production motorcycle at the time. The Blackbird was named after the Lockheed SR-71 aircraft, which was a speed record holder at the time.

　　The Super Blackbird was a zero-compromise big-bore machine well suited for seasoned riders who knew how to handle a liter-class bike with some extra neve on tap. The bike was wind-tunnel tested and featured Honda's exceptional finish, but also offered excellent handling, while the race-derived engine provided plenty of power and torque for both casual and race-track fun.

　　In 2001, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the CBR1100XX Super Blackbird, which came with a digital instrument cluster and a new Silver color for the European market, but also a new Red color for the Us market, which was better received than the Black livery.

　　As for performance, the 2001 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird was powered by a 1,137cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 164 hp with a peak at 10,000 rpm and 124 Nm (92 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,250 rpm.

　　The bike featured an aluminum twin-spar frame that housed a 43 mm HMAS cartridge-type fork on the front and a Pro-Link single shock absorber with spring preload and rebound adjustability on the rear.

　　As for braking performance, the model featured two 310 mm discs with three-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 256 mm disc with three-piston calipers on the rear wheel.
