I absolutely love Honda Blackbirds , I have owned 3 in the last 25 years and although I have a BMW GSA 1200 LC and still have my 2000 model Honda Blackbird in Candy Blue and I find that although it’s 24 years old and as only 29,500 miles on the clock I used it more often than the GSA , it’s smooth , reliable and it as never let me down , Stunning Bike and I love it 🥰

The best channel for ZX-14R content has become a great channel for Blackbird content, absolutely brilliant. I was actually looking at upgrading from my current Bird to a 2nd gen ZX14-R, but realised it's not always about newer and power. Absolutely love my Blackbird, I'll be taking it on a tour of my home state after New Years, keen to see how it handles touring!

My absolute hero bike. I’ve been riding on and off for 15 years. Finally picked one of these up a year ago. It’s absolutely stunning. With 95k on the clock, she doesn’t feel like it. I’m glad “faster” bikes exist because it means these are a lot cheaper than Busa, and I could finally afford one. Blackbirds smoothness and quality is amazing, and something I have never experienced like this before. (CCT was a pretty easy fix on this by the way - mine was a bit noisy at first too)

My wife's last boss has had one for years. Now that I think about it, he must have had it for close to ten years. It is his only vehicle. It's about a 60 mile round trip from his home to work and back. Up until Covid, he did that five days a week. Aside from the usual maintenance items, he's never touched it. It's still in remarkably good condition and I hate to think what the odometer reading is. It would have to be around the 150k miles mark or more. It's a true daily rider, rain, hail or shine.

My dad has a blackbird from the late 90s, it's in many pieces right now in order to store it due to moving to a different country, however now that we are back we are going to start putting it back together soon, and I can't wait to start.

Anyone who gets their dream bike is worth a celebration. Mine would be extremely hard to get since no baby FireBlades were imported to the US. I did get all the other bikes i ever REALLY wanted but it took 25yrs. ❤️ awesome video

3 of us on Blackbirds did France Austria Spain and Germany. over 3 years late 2000's. Mine was 2005 with a 2003 and 2002 for my pals. Absolute turbine. Magnificent in all gears ,only took it to 140 on the autobahns. It was an absolute blast the 3 years I had it. The wuh hoo hoo is typical reaction. Just bought a VFR800Vtec 2010 just for a chuckle.

Great bike, the used bike market will end up the same as cars with prices increasing with demand. I love seeing old bikes out and still cutting it, cause they can. I've got a 97 bandit I still use with no issues

I would absolutely love for you to review the honda x11 and compare it to the blackbird its the naked blackbird same engine more torque. If you like sportbikes ofcourse you're gonna prefer the blackbird. But the x11 has its own unique soul that just makes the raw visceral engine of the blackbird even better in my opinion. I own one and it makes me giggle every time i open the throttle a bit more.

yes no doubt one of the best bikes ever still can beat almost any bike of today easily , the bikes of late 80 or early 90s are better than pretty much all the bikes today ...i think now they they dont invest in good engines anymore they prefer to invest in cheap electronics no body want ...theres lots of good examples like this amazing honda like the incredible 88 xz10 or 11 or the gixxers from the 90s or yamahas fz.s

Nope! It doesn't get boring at all, as an ex-Blackbird owner I'm nodding my head to everything you say, just touching on the Ninja 1000sx, not in the same league as the Blackbird, revvy and buzzy by comparison, it doesn't have the long legs or top end power of the Blackbird, I know as I had one (for a while)! My missus loved the 'Bird, I've not had a bike since that she has liked as much! Nice video 💯

Hi, enjoying the channel, indeed, quick ? Im 6ft 2 and 14st, once i get my hip fixed im thinking of buying a zzr1400, is there sufficient leg room? Or are your legs tucked up at an acute angle? You look good on yours by the way! 👍

The guy presenting the video doesn't know the history of motorcycles. The bike that came before the Blackbird was the mighty ZZR1100. You get the ignorant giving out false data. The ZZR was the king of the road from 1990 to 1996. It took Honda 6 years to develop the Blackbird to take the crown of fastest production bike in the world. The Blackbird was marginally faster due to its bigger engine capacity and lighter weight. On roll on tests though the ZZR was faster. Just to put the record straight Mr.

Classic bike, however, riding the wrong way in a one way system near the start, riding the wrong side of keep left bollards and the constant unnecessary pressing of the indicator switch seriously deters from a decent video and not a good example to set.

Now, let me tell you all the reasons this Honda rider, does not want a Blackbird: 1. The engine is like a turbo jet, you won't be able to fix it yourself. Look at an exploded parts diagram of one. Forget it. 2. No cargo carrying capacity. Going someplace fast just collects tickets. I want to haul groceries every ride, not collect tickets, making a sport bike, an utterly useless design that should have never left the race track where they belong as a category of bike 3. Tires and every other part are going to be way more expensive for it. I'm guessing it's also chain drive. No thanks. Pluses: Well, I mean, it's a Honda, and it's pretty, and fast. That's about it. Something pretty and fast is not what I need to survive on a monthly basis. Well, so what you say, just take a car to fetch your groceries. Well, if your bike is then just a play toy, are you really a diehard motorcyclist, when anytime you have to do something simple like pick up groceries or go somewhere in the winter... you defer to a car or truck. Not me. I'm hardcore year around, no other vehicle. If you've lived any significant amount of time, you realize fast, you've got to eat. And you can't eat out at a restaurant... every single day of your life. That gets expensive, fast. You need something that bring food back home. If a motorcycle can't haul groceries like a mule, then it's nothing more than expensive flashy useless toy that can take you to work and back or to your girlfriend or boyfriends house sometimes. And that ain't really worth having for the price of this. You can do that with any vehicle.
