CBR1100XX Blackbird, other suggestions
|
I've just sold my GSX1100F and looking for a Blackbird, ~£2000 to spend.
I've tried a Bindit, but not impressed. Sat on a Busa and a Grixer, but
they where too small. I'm 6'3" with long legs and a beer gut, what other
bikes could I consider?

I know you're a) not a fan of Hondas & b) a Kwacker fan-boy, but do
you really think the ZZR1100 is better than a Blackbird, and if so, in
which way?
|
Well, the OP was asking what other bikes he should look at, and the
ZZR is obviously in the same space.
I think that in most measurable criteria, the Blackbird probably is
"'better' than a ZZR1100, tho as the resident Kawasaki fan-boy I'd
still say the ZZR is more fun to ride. I can't comment on the
ZZR1200, as I've not ridden one (tho reports say it didn't really do
much that the 1100 didn't, and looked a lot worse).
I rode the ZZR1400 a couple of weeks ago, and it moves the
hyper-motorcycle game on a bit again, and I'd say it's now measurably
better than the Blackbird

The ZZR1400 moves one or two other things on such as - the probability of it
being declared a write-off after a 30mph spill
