The following information on Honda’s CBR1100 Blackbird is taken from Wikipedia. “The CBR1100XX Super Blackbird is a Honda motorcycle made from 1996 to 2007. The bike was developed to challenge the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11 as the world’s fastest production motorcycle,[4] and Honda succeeded with a top speed of 178.5 mph (287.3 km/h).[5][6] Two years later the title passed to the Suzuki Hayabusa, which reached 194 mph (312 km/h).[7][4][8] The Blackbird is named after the Lockheed SR-71, also a speed record holder.“ This bike was spotted at the local bike night. Fitted with Yoshimura exhaust, factory hard bags (I believe they are made for Honda by Hepco Becker of Germany). Tank bra, Rich’s seat, tank bag, and all the hardware for mounting GPS, radar detector, iPod. Have speed will travel!
