CBR1100 Blackbird 2001 injection
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by chambersp1

Advantages: Fast, comfortable super bike
Disadvantages: poor screen

Honda Blackbird – CBR1100 – 2001 injection model. There has been a lot written in the motorcycle press about this bike, but I do wonder how “real” some magazine reports really are. It seems many magazines are happy to produce a report on a bike after running it round the block, or doing a couple of laps of a race track somewhere. It has to be said that I have read more than one article about the Blackbird where it seemed that they had not actually ... Read review

Fast comfy and a great way to meet policeman.
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by happytan

Advantages: Smooth, comfy
Disadvantages: Thirsty, high insurance

I bought the Honda CBR1100xx super Blackbird in 1997 when it was released from the blocks and i have recently traded it in with my brand new suzuki bandit GSF1200s.After testing the ability of my newer bike i have found that when compared to the Blackbird it has its faults. For instance i quite often give my girlfriend lifts and occasionlly friends, and the bandit lacks the ability to real shrug off any pillions without noticing the extra wind ... Read review

'03 CBR1100xx-Oh what a motorcycle!
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by skater69

Advantages: POWER, handling, smoothness, stability
Disadvantages: Some may need time to adapt to riding position

...like 65 on my old Honda Magna. And fuel mileage is decent depending on how you ride. Spirited riding will get you usually low 30's for mpg. Tamer riding will yield around 40mpg. A 6.x gallon tank means you can usually get about 200 or so miles before hitting reserve the bike. Braking is simply excellent. The dual discs up front a marvelous job. I find the linked braking system (LBS) to be just fine and easy to adapt to. In short this bike has great ... Read review

One of the few bikes I really regret selling
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by niglom

Advantages: Comfort (just), speed, brakes, handling
Disadvantages: Chain drive, lack of luggage handling, low screen

Do you know the feeling, when you see you bike being wheeled away by someone who's just bought it, and suddenly you think "I shouldn't have sold that"? That's what happened to me with the Blackbird. I had a 1997 one, one with the carbs. In bronze. I had fitted a Micron full race 4 into 1 sustem and Dynajet conversion with K and N airfilter. It gave out 150bhp at the rear wheel. It went like the wind. I saw 200 mph on the clock at the ... Read review

Honda Blackbird CBR1100
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by conceptfloors

Advantages: Performance & Handling
Disadvantages: None

Now on my 3rd Blackbird, P plate non injected was first. awsome bike but a bit rough around the edges it was quick, but most of that was hype. The styling is classy yet sinister all in one go. 51 plate injected model next although no apparent changes in appearance the introduction of fuel injection gives a much smoother ride, faster through the revs and more of power cruise. Now on a 54 Plate even better still the odd little tweeks here and the have ... Read review

CBR 1100xx the first 100,000 miles
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by t140v

Advantages: Honda Engineering & Reliability
Disadvantages: Big bike, needs tall people, I'm 5' 11" and my feet are flat on the floor.

Bought my 1997 carb model in 2000 with about 5000 miles on the clock. Change oil and filter every 4k, changed plugs at 20k but they are still in and I'm not having any problems ( should'nt really as they have platinum tips) Went through a lot of brake pads untill I did a couple of seasons with IAM. (worth doing) Have had more sets of tyres than I can remember, Started with BT57's when bought , tried another set , then tried Bridgestone 020's got decent ... Read review

Ideal Touring and commuter bike
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by ostrich5720

Advantages: Lighter than all other 1100's
Disadvantages: none

Best value for money that is available comfortable to ridelong distances for both rider and pillion. exhuasts are low enough to be able to use lugagge of a sensible size. this machine has a low enough centre of gravity to enable easy manouverability with a passenger and loads of luggage. power is definitely not a problem even when fully loaded. As a commuter bike the power and handling make it a pleasure even in the heavy rush hour traffic. If ridden ... Read review

Superblackbird XXBB 1100
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by superblackbird2

Advantages: Performance at a good price
Disadvantages: Depreciates with mileage

I bought a 2003 xxbb and sold a ZX10 although I miss the zx which had more personality (carb) the Blackbird simply amazes me everytime I ride it. I never put luggage on the sides as this can cause wind wobble so all my luggage goes on seat and rearrack. I can then do amazing roadtrain passes in 2-3 seconds when travelling up north i.e 220km+ in 4th. Stone chips are a pain if following another bike, so keep some distance. I have a higher eagle touring ... Read review

My first bird - (no loss of virginity joke here!)
Review of Honda CBR1100XX by Fucwit

Advantages: Great build quality
Disadvantages: Insurance premiums???

I bought my first 'Bird', a 2000 'W' reg FI model for a very good price. My gain-his loss. My old bike was an aged XJ900 - Wow, what a difference!! The only down side was, 20000 miles of age, the regulator/rectifier cooked itself and the battery, leaving me stranded on the hardshoulder for 3+hours - God bless the RAC - NOT!!! £270 parts & labour to fix. Done two European jaunts since, with the FI light flickering ominously & periodically (Lit up big ... Read review
