Honda CBR1100XX, The Blackbird What's Fast Enough? (Two wheel freaks)
Model(s) covered: 2000 Honda CBR 1100 XX Blackbird
We actually tested the '99 version of Honda's high-speed flagship before we tested the new Suzuki Hayabusa, but the report about the second of those two bikes was completed and published first. This might lead one to think it's now going to be difficult to say much in the way of praise about the CBR1100XX, but that's not so. Yes, the Hayabusa is now the king of top speed but the XX still has goods that should interest many riders. Honda made a number of significant changes to the '99 CBR1100XX that were intended to improve the motorcycle's overall streetability, but not to necessarily improve the machine's top speed.
