Always wanted one finally got it had her now for seven years best bike ever moved house and don’t have a garage so she’s in my sisters living room it’s a big bike on the road just imagine what it looks like next to your television
I dunno, R1 rider looked like he may have come from a bike that's not as nimble. I know sometimes when I transition from my tourer to my R6, it's laughably bad. It does look like the XX rider knows his bike, though!
Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Rhys Ethan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Wow you are an amazing rider. I’m seriously considering purchasing a blackbird and seeing it perform like this has a big part in my thought process. Thank you. Please be safe though, prefer to see this in a controlled environment naturally.
I really love the damn blackbird and I would choose it to the R1 no matter what but even if the bird has 100 cc more and has "the torques" most of you will agree that the R1 wins in an actual race. I mean, it's a bloody 1k cc Supersport...
You're absolutely correct. I used to own a Super Blackbird. It was mildly hot rodded and went like stink. However in the corners it was a bit of a pig. Give me an R1 and I would walk away from it. This is a bit of an apples and oranges comparison. In the wide open with long sweeping turns the CBR 1100 double X was in its element. When it got tight and twisty not so much. That still doesn't detract from the Blackbird. This is one of Hondas finest motorcycles and will stand the test of time.
Still foolish riding like that on a public road. They seem to think they’re bulletproof, just one little patch of oil or other fluid and.... curtains.... idiots.
the guy in the R1 is all over the road should have been an indurance race the blackbird would win hands down R1 engines are crap how many high mileage R1 are there on the road
I used to own a '96 B-Bird, great bikes. Looks like nice smooth riding style on the B-Bird, I think everyone else has echoed what I'm thinking about the R1 rider though!!
I have a 2001 F4i mint state. I already had a 600RR 2007. But I always wanted to have a 1000. But when I walked with a 1000RR 2007 and a ZX10 2011 I found a lot of power, but along with a greater weight and volume as well. I was in doubt if I really wanted that. Because at 600 the spinning motor seems to be able to accelerate more. Except that I've been getting a taste for Blackbird, because it would be like a big F4i. And I like the solidity and comfort of them, F4i and Blackbird. They are from one of Honda's best quality seasons ever. I also thought about Hayabusa after 2008. But Blackbird seems to have a unique class that must be incredible. If wi find a good injection a few years from now, in good condition, seeing the F4i to have this experience, because a superbike can't ride nice with the boss and soon my son will be able to ride with me, I want something good to accommodate the passenger. So, do I regret leaving the practical f4i for the big bird ????? help there with your experience! hug here from Brazil.
@@kasperbrodersen7461 kkkkkk the best of two worlds, man really But in the moment i dont have any them little time for the trips but i think a take a CB 500 of old times, with carburetors. I had two in the past...big bikes for all round and for the money kkkk Thanks bro
Definitely not. But to be fair, I don't know if there's anything as reliable as th xx long term, mine has 175000km on it and still rides like it just left the factory. Other than the cam chain noise you get pretty early with the oem cct (doesn't damage anything just sounds a bit tatty) which you just replace with the upgraded "2 green dot" tensioner and its fixed long term, there are literally zero common faults.
@@kr09d I'd say that the CBR1000F is at least as reliable... Had a '00 (one of the last) as first bike... Once (to my shame) I rode 110km/70mls on it without a drop of water on the cooler, it brought me home without any damage, filled her up at home and she did' nt need any more care than that... Rode her for another season (about 15.000km/ca.9000mls) Then sold her to a Latvian 4 years ago where she's probably still ridin with stride... 😅
@@Ninjahall-12R yeah it's a Honda thing, the vfr had an issue in earlier years with the timing chain, Mr Honda wasn't having that and in the next model decided to over beef it up with a cog system which is practically impossible to ever break.
@@unbiasedcobra6672 I just have a cbr 1100 xx, I'm not a pro pilot, but I've always change my gears with the clutch. If you dont want to break your bike, I think it's a good idea. Of course you loose a little of time but you don't break your bike. If you have shifter you don't have this problem, but I think it's a good idea to clutch. Do what you do after all.
@@unbiasedcobra6672 For many people (probably me also), this bike is too powerful to ride safely. You can't tell me you ride everyday at 140 mph and touch the knees on the ground at every turn. That type of bike is just for style for many people, like me, just because you can't ride safe on the road. If you ride hard, you just kill you in 400 miles. If you are safe, well played, but this type of bike is so powerful you cannot drive it at the max of the performance, many people don't have the level. If you do some real race on track, you can drive it at the max performance, but the road is not a track, it's more dangerous.
