1999 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird review from United Kingdom
"The best all round superfast bike you can buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Cam chain tensioner wore out at 15000 miles, but was quite cheap and very easy to replace.
Tyre pressures have to be maintained for perfect handling.
General comments?
The best bike I have owned in 32 years biking. I also own a VTX1800 and an XR250.
The Blackbird is utterly fantastic and great for long distance fun, as well as a good thrash about.
The performance is awesome!
