CBR 1100 XX 2001

Updated for 2001, the Blackbird becomes more of a colorful beast with a selection of new colors, well, just silver really and a black frame! Realizing that they have been spanked on the performance front by the Hayabusa and ZX-12R, Honda are consolidating the Blackbird's position by focusing the bike more towards fast touring that sporty touring. The screen on the 2001 bike is taller to allow for longer, wind free trips at high speeds. That'll be motorways then. A new set of clocks has the tacho mounted in the center of the panel with LCD readouts either side. A styling hint taken from fighter planes maybe…. To keep ahead of impending emissions laws the Blacky gets cats only seen on the German and Austrian bikes before. Honda claims that the new catalyst can reduce emissions without reducing the awesome power of the 1100cc missile. To achieve this the exhaust system has been tweaked, and the result is not just an equal amount of power, despite the cats, but an extra 11bhp.
