In this video, I'll be showing you everything that's wrong with my salvageD CBR1100XX Honda Blackbird, which I recently picked up from RSMotorcycles. Despite being involved in an accident, I was still so very drawn to this iconic bike and saw it as the perfect opportunity for a restoration project for the channel.
As I walk you through what is wrong with the bike, you'll see that it's definitely seen better days, but I'm excited to get to work on restoring it to its former glory. From the engine to the bodywork, I'll be fixing everything that needs attention and documenting the process along the way.

Great bike, I have a 2007 bought with only 14,000 kms 3 years ago and just love the smooth power delivery, comfort and handling, just to note these bikes do not have a slipper clutch or ABS they have CBS which is a combined brake system where front and rear are linked, it works well although some riders de-link them. treat them well and these bikes will last forever, definitely a keeper.

@bootz0409 Год назад

Very off-putting then that this guy mentioned the Blackbird comes with these features. Lying or just plain ignorant?

@mylocator 2 месяца назад

my 07 yama 1300 has a slipper clutch. meaning all hand and or foot with no clutch handle just a finger trigger shifter.

@bobledger387 Год назад

Appreciate you said you would add after market cans, I have a pair of almost new OE cans in the loft, also original screen, seat and chain guard, all mint condition

@nitrousninja882 Год назад

I hope you didn't pay too much for the Blackbird. Keep with it and refurbish the big Honda. It has potential. There are so many Hayabusa and ZX-14's over here in the USA, that a Blackbird seems refreshing to my eyes. With the right mods and paint you could create a very nice bike that would be a showstopper! Just don't give up and sell it!

@1mick66mick66 Год назад

Having bought a few cat Ns, I've found is a bit of a false economy buying the cheapest bike out there, especially with very high mileage.. the few hundred pounds saved on initial purchase are soon wiped out replacing parts... Having said that... Looks a very interesting project....

@yonniboy1 Год назад

The Blackbird's a great and very under rated bike, in the early noughties 12 of us travelled from Belfast to the Catalunya MotoGP, everyone was on R1s, Fireblades and a single 996SP but one fella was on a Blackbird and stayed with our litre super bikes the whole way, a great bike and IMO much more stylish than the Hayabusa.

Well he would do since it's just as fast and even more comfortable than an R1.

@davidcarroll2035 Год назад

I had the bike that lost it’s 11year world’s fastest production motorcycle title to the Blackbird and Hyabusa it’s the Kawasaki ZZR1100, had it for many happy years and still regret selling it. I never got to own the Blackbird and can’t warrant owning one now as I literally do only an 100 miles a year now due to health. But it’s sure one beautiful machine you will have there.

@rogerthedodger5788 Год назад

My Blackbird lived in the garden under a cover. Left all winter and it would start at the touch of the starter button in the spring. Fantastic bike. Only issue I had was the generator failed. Got a replacement from Jaws. Sold it ( wish I hadn't now) as it was so smooth you'd be doing 100mph feeling like 40 and worried about my licence.

@dave8204 Год назад

I don't want to be negative but I've been around bikes,bikers and bike shops for long enough to know that's going to be a money pit. I'd have gone for something at least running and with everything in one piece,would have cost a bit more but saved a lot more in the long run and still had the fun of tearing down and rebuilding. Good on you though,a running total of costs would be interesting. Not knocking you at all,far from it,I've just seen so many guys over the years take on this kind of thing not realising what they're getting into. New subscriber and I'll be along for the ride wishing you luck all the way.

Going to be great to follow you and he bike. Why would you have to repaint the whole bike? The tank looks perfect. Surely a new left hand side fairing would reduce cost. If money is no problem, then forget my question. Good luck. I have subscribed as I am a big fan of this the Blackbirds.

@hoost3056 Год назад

I like Hondas because of their reliability. I read about one guy that took an unmodded Fireblade to 250K miles, so 70k means that the Blackbird is just breaking in. Go all out,though, with the build. Make the bike immaculate with the paint and details. Use the best suspension components and brakes only because you are going to go way past 200 mph. If you can get on Bruntingthorpe for a top speed run, that would be cool. Regardless, do things to the bike that may seem overkill but will enhance.

My wife's boss has one of these. He's had it for years, rides it to work every day, rain, hail or shine. It's about a 50 mile round trip, too.

The finish of the bike has held up remarkably well, also, especially considering it's outside for the best part of 50 hours per week. Honda did a pretty good job on this model, for sure.

Huge alarm bells ring whenever this guy talks about this bike. He’s presumably hoping to appeal to the biking community by making videos of his project, but clearly more interested in views than the actual bike. He’s also copying HeroRR, but is apparently learning about the bike in order to make the video! And I suspect he’s also influenced by the dreaded delboy! Another one of those we don’t need!! He still thinks 70,000 miles in 20 years is a lot, which it clearly isn’t (it’s only 3,500 PA!), as well as a lot for a Blackbird (which it obviously isn’t) and now wants to replace the entire engine rather than replace the magneto cover - apparently because there are a couple of bolts missing…??!🙄 But at the end of the last video he admitted he doesn’t have a lot of mechanical experience, yet he’s talking about fitting a turbo!!🙄😂🙈 Your advice on keeping it numbers matching is obviously good mate, but sadly probably wasted. I’m not sure he’s even a biker. As a biker, I watch guys who know more than me, true restorers, and those who are learning as they go. But anyone doing anything for views might as well be buying makeup and taking about gender issues as far as I’m concerned. Credibility has to be earned. This guy is starting on the minus scale.
