Honda Motorcycles was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. Making their first motorcycle in 1949, within 10 years they had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to make over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The launch of the four-cylinder CB750 in 1969 ushered in the Superbike boom in the seventies and started the race between the Japanese manufacturers for faster and faster bikes. The CBR1100 Blackbird, named after the Lockheed SR-71 aircraft, was the world's fastest production motorcycle when released in 1996 and held that title until the arrival of the Suzuki Hayabusa a few years later.
This 2007 Blackbird, being offered at 'no reserve', comes fitted with a full set of QD Kappa panniers and a top box. Presented in a good standard condition, it is supplied with the V5C, a service book showing 6 main dealer services and a few old MOTs with its last one being carried out on 23rd June last year at 23, 106 miles, together with a Haynes manual. Not having seen much use since, it will require recommissioning before use, however, with its full set of luggage it will make an ideal sports tourer for next summer.
