My other 1100 Honda

[Inline4_imp]

Although my Blackbird is actually a 2001 model which originally was Glory Red, the PO painted it with '02 colors. I LOVE that bike. It's like riding a jet engine on rails.
However, I just can't handle the ergos any longer. Hell I barely can get my left leg up on the CB1100 footpeg, let alone the XX pegs.
Its going to be put up for sale in the next day or so.
This is exactly what it looks like..........

I remember lusting over those when they first came out. I never did end up with one, but did have a CBR900rr for a while. Same story as yours -- I couldn't handle the riding position any more, so it had to go.

Boy sold a ton of tires for these

I've always liked those bikes. Just within the past couple of years I toyed with buying one, but couldn't find any for sale that hadn't been molested or ruined by the previous owners (exhaust, suspension lowered, abused, etc.)

Yours looks very nice.

Here's mine serving in its favorite role: All 2 wheeled vacation to go.

I had the privilege of riding one a long time ago. Talk about a ROCKET! That thing had sooooo much potential for jail time its not even funny.

you said it.. and a smoooooth rocket.. I'm convinced that although they probably could have put dual balance shafts on the CB1100, they chose not to because as on the Blackbird, that would make the ride *too* smooth !

I can't imagine what a ZX-14 must be like since it's power totally eclipses the Blackbird.. sheesh !
