I really miss my 'Bird'. Such a beauty, smooth power delivery and gave me a big grin everytime. ❤
Could not agree more. One forms a special bond with your 'Bird' and it is only after you passed it on to the next enthusiast that you realize that it is a very special machine.
I had one of these in the 90s ,the one with the carbs ,,what a ride ??? like a time machine ,, had 170 mph in 5th gear on my way home from work one night .....
Thanks for sharing. Love to hear from other owners as well.
You naughty boy!
Cheap to buy and run, cam chain tensioners go, the bike runs hot not fun in traffic. cbrxx owners group great resource.
Found the same, needs airflow to keep the engine cool. Fans kick in soon when commuting in slow traffic. An advantage if you are in a country where lane splitting is legal is that the bike without luggage is fairly slim and arent too bogged down.
i own a 2005 model. an excellent bike for long trips on sealed roads.
Hold on to that bike and enjoy it. I still regret selling my bird. Tried to buy it back from the new owner but he is having none of that. Hopefully I can find one at a reasonable price again.
fantastic bike ive had a 97 model for 7 yrs now love it BUT it is heavy and old muscles and bones like mine struggle' im hanging on in their though ; safe riding guys TREV
Hi Trev, thank you and keep the shiny side up. Wish you and your bird another 7 years of safe riding.
My 97 mint condition bird is going back to Andorra on Tuesday for a 3 week trip
Enjoy the ride!
You have a social account to check out pix of your bird?

Would You reccomend this blackbird as a beginner bike.Inlast rode 14 years ago on a kawa zzr 400.thnx
Hi there, an interesting question that I would provide multiple answers to. Would love to see other peoples thoughts on this as well.
If you rode the living daylights out of your ZZR400 and want to do the same then no. If you still want to ride on the edge, no. However if in the last 14 years you "grew up" and are willing to ride well within your limits then yes. The Blackbird has loads of power and an insane top end and gets there without much effort, thus the cliche quote "With great power comes great responsibility" .
Was that a computerized voice? Weird! Looks to be a great bike though. The linked brake setup does have its downside on gravelly or unsealed road. But perfect for the highway and long tours
Yes I tried an AI feature which generate both voice and clips but then replaced the clips with my own photos and clips. The voice is much clearer than my own but AI is still bit impersonal.
Agree the linked brakes will be terrible on loose stuff. With that amount of power one will need to worry about the throttle as well. Highways are the bird's happy place.
Thanks for your comment.
The music's too loud man. Can't even here the bike's engine 😓
Very true, will see if I have some better-sounding clips. Most of my clips have excessive wind noise which I tried to mask with the music. Thanks for the feedback I will keep it in mind with follow-up videos.
Just a big barge , had a 97 carbed , got a vfr800 fi now , far superior in the real world , faster down the back lanes too
Had a good chucle at the 'barge'. Yes it is not nimble in very tight twisties. Long sweeps is another story. Exiting high speeds sweeps are mind blowing when that rear wheel bites into the tarmac and the bird tries to rip your arms off!
Would love to have a go on a VFR. They look like fun.
Thanks for your comment.
@@mototouringafricaI’ve had a Vfr 800 Fi for about two years now and thinking about a Blackbird.. when I first got on the Vfr I thought it was a bit heavy but now I can throw it around (ish)
The backroads in my part of the world are shit… high hedges, potholes, gravel everywhere and people who have no spatial awareness..
So I tend to rip up a few A roads now instead, with the occasional well kept B road I know..
Still would love a go on a Bird.. the Vfr power wise feels a little tame now
You will love the power of the bird. For crap roads with potholes and other challenges any bike could easily become a handfull. Hope you find one that "talks" to you.
