This is an iconic CBR1100XX with 113 original miles! Located in Smithtown, New York is a, one owner, 2003 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird in showroom new condition. The seller states that for personal reasons, and having two other bikes, he was unable to use this bike and that is why it has accumulated such low miles. No mention of maintenance history is given but, it is a Honda and only seven years old so a fluid flush and once over should cover it. The Blackbird remained, relatively, unchanged throughout it’s production life as a testament that the original design was enough to carry it through to the end regardless of what the competition had to throw at it. This was the the fastest, production, motorcycle when released in 1996 but, it’s crown was usurped by Suzuki in 1999. These are larger and heavier bikes–267kg wet–but, I’m sure the additional weight is comforting when wind speeds approaching 200mph. This bike will always be my preference over the other super-supersports from the late 90’s as it started out as the fastest production bike and aged gradually into a more mundane super-tourer while skipping the airbrushed skulls, spiked fairing bolts, and neon all together.
