The Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird is a Honda motorcycle, part of the CBR series made from 1996 to 2007. The bike was developed to challenge the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11 as the fastest production bike in the world, and Honda succeeded with a top speed of 178.5 mph (287.3 km/h). Two years later, the title was forwarded to Suzuki Hayabusa, which reached 194 mph (312 km/h). The Blackbird is named after Lockheed SR-71, also a speed record holder.

It has the largest displacement engine on various Honda CBR motorcycles.

Development

In the mid-1990s, Honda was determined to produce the world's fastest production bikes and to take over the bragging rights and marketing influences, when held by the Kawasaki Ninja ZX11. This leads to the creation of CBR1100XX Super Blackbird. The Blackbird name is a nod to the Lockheed SR-71 aircraft, the world's fastest plane.

In the February 1997 edition of the CBR1100XX magazine, the CBR1100XX was tested at a top speed of 178.5 mph (287.3 km/h), compared to 175 mph (281.6 km/h) for the ZX-11. His supremacy over ZX-11 was confirmed in April 2007 by Motorcycle Consumer News, though the speed achieved was slightly lower and the margins narrower.

In 1999, Suzuki Hayabusa took over CBR1100XX. It was listed in the 2000 Millennium Edition of Guinness World Records as the fastest production bike in the world with a top speed of 194 mph (312 km/h).

Production history

Blackbird production began in 1996 and was discontinued in 2007. Imports to North America ended in 2003 but sales continued in Europe until 2007. Major changes to the Blackbird were introduced in 1999, when Honda switched from carburetor to PGM fuel injection. Blackbird 2001 received the instrument cluster LCD. Since then, most of the color schemes have changed but the fuel disposal and refueling systems have evolved to meet emissions standards and maintain or improve fuel efficiency.

Specific variations for the initial model are:

1998

Modify to home thermostat. Other changes are small.

1999

Great update.

• The PGM FI fueling system was introduced.
• The Ram-air system was introduced. This provides the engine with more air at high speed (above 200 km/h or 120 mph) using aerodynamic pressure, thus increasing the power output to a claimed 164 bhp (122 kW) at 9,500 rpm (at the crank).
• Related brakes are revised with a change in proportion between front and back.
• Fuel tank capacity increases from 22 to 24 liters.
• The choke lever is removed from the left-sided switch assembly as it is no longer required.
• To accommodate the ram air tube, the oil cooler becomes lower and wider.
• Bus forks inside and out are wider, changing the fork down and the slider.
• The sidestand warning light on the instrument cluster becomes the FI warning light.
• The width of the front axle (left side) becomes 10 mm longer, which makes the front axle space 10 mm shorter.
• The two light bulbs in the tail lights were vertical, in the previous years they were side by side.
• Front wheel hub enlarged, brake rotor changed.
• The ignition switch changes, and the button is longer.
The rotor carrier, stator cover, and clutch cover are light titanium colors.
• The number of clutch plates is reduced from nine to seven.
• The back of the rear fender changes shape to accommodate additional electronics.
• The manufacturer's strength and torque is 164 hp (122.3 kW) and 91.5 ft-lb (124 Nm)

2000

No changes

2001

The new dashboard now has a digital speedometer and other indicators, except the tachometer, which is now in the center of the dashboard.

2002

New EFI mapping to comply with emission standards and eliminate sudden throttle response at low speeds.

The total power and torque of the manufacturer is reduced to 152 hp (113.3 kW) and 87.8 ft-lb (119 Nm)

2005

The Honda factory manual states the capacity of the fuel tank is 23 liters.
