Glorious CBR1100xx Blackbird
Finland
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2022
The Blackbird is loved by so many, and I was fascinated by it for years, until I reached "certain age" that I bought one. My neighbour heard about it and said: "You know I had one long time ago. You know it's the best bike in the world?" I grinned "Of course". This channel is about the CBR1100XX, the rebuild, great components installed to it, riding it, discovering places with it.

The bike is in, and I live in Finland.

CBR1100XX Blackbird #13 - Ride the Route1050
Riding with the Honda #cbr1100xx the route 1050, that was part of the Swedish "King's Road" from Oslo Norway to Vyborg in todays Russia. It was a main artery in Finland from the 1200's, maybe earlier. This section I rode the first time on this video, in the end of October, at the sunset. It's a really great road that I went back to and will go back to many times. It traverses the Fagervik manor. This video was recorded in October 2022, so nice to reflect before the next season.
Kuninkaantie Inkoossa, tie 1050, Fagervikin kartanon läpi. Upea tie hienossa kunnossa, joka on ilo ajaa.

CBR1100XX Blackbird #12 - Ride the Porkkala cape
มุมมอง 623ปีที่แล้ว
Riding with the Honda CBR1100XX the Porkkala cape road, that traverses the area that was overtaken by the Russians after the WW2 as their miliary base. It was returned to Finland a decade later. The road is excellent, with a good pavement and plenty of twists and turns. Sorry I blurred the instrument cluster a bit to get your attention on the road. It's only 19 km, so enjoy it with me. It's a r...
CBR1100XX Blackbird #11 - Ride in Helsinki countryside 4K
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Join me on this ride making a loop in the countryside not far from Helsinki, about 70 kilometers. I like this route as it takes off not far from where I live, and it has variable features. The ride starts and ends at Lake Bodom, which is beautiful and a popular place. Then it goes into the Espoo forests, and then gradually through large fields. The route goes to Klaukkala, and from there I turn...
CBR1100XX Blackbird #10 - Ride the ancient Ox Road
มุมมอง 1.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Let's go explore this bull (or ox) road, over a 1000 years old, winding from Turku castle to Hämeenlinna castle in Finland. This video is about the road, its history, and enjoyment of riding it. The Blackbird with all the mods is a thrill to ride through the winding path. It's a long video so hopefully you have patience to follow all the way. The first 30 minutes it goes through flat fields but...
CBR1100XX Blackbird #9 - Mods review ride
มุมมอง 1.6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
A beautiful day for a countryside ride on the Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird. I'm going over the many mods and how they feel. This is a 75 km ride in the Helsinki, Finland region, a bit of highway to get there and then small roads through the fields and forests to another highway that leads back. I've done this ride multiple times now, a great run to do. Not much traffic but twice almost hit a deer ...
Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #8 - Shakedown
มุมมอง 4.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
After a comprehensive build on the Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird, finally it's time for the first impressions ride. This is not about the scenery or the route, this is the first reaction, fresh and genuine. The Blackbird is such a great bike already, these modifications were intended to make it even better. Will I notice? Sorry about the camera angle and audio, it will get better in next videos. Th...
Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #7 - Project finish!
มุมมอง 14K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This build project from concept to finishing a totally unique fabulous bike is finally done. The bike got many upgrades to driveability and to the style, and many maintenance works were done. Thanks for following the series. In this episode are many interesting component presentations, like the APE manual cam chain tensioner, Honda VFR 800 handlebar conversion with MotoCNC risers (www.moto-cnc....
Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #6 - Seat & Tank wrap
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The motorcycle seat is certainly extremely key to the riding comfort, and is visually one of the most important components that "make the bike". So don't settle for the standard seat if it's not to your liking. This seat has gel pads for extra comfort. The tank wrapping is a quick, not very expensive way to greatly change the way your bike looks. And it protects the tank. In this video I'm desi...
Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #5 - Carbon wheels
มุมมอง 10K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Carbon fiber Rotobox wheels, Arashi brake rotors and HEL Performance braided brakelines. Guess the weight saving! * The Rotobox wheels really look fabulous. They are a significant investment for sure to the Blackbird, but the carbon wheels are so significantly lighter that they make a huge difference in the way the bike feels and handles. Rotobox said that only 5 CBR1100XX bikes in the world ha...
Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #4 - Suspension, front and rear
มุมมอง 12K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Presenting a step-by-step guide how to rebuild the damper-rod fork. Also, Nitron R2 installation. A substantial improvement to the handing of the CBR1100XX Blackbird can be had by upgrading its suspension. There is some investment involved, but if one plans on keeping the bike, I'd say it's worth it. The standard front suspension has progressive springs that are initially soft and the compressi...
Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #3 - Painting
มุมมอง 3.9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The project on the CBR1100XX Blackbird is well on its way. This is perhaps the most challenging part, and not to be recommended to be done yourself, painting of the fairings. A spraybooth was constructed with ventilation, and a spraygun with compressor used to lay the paint. With so many various details and layers, the whole process took over a month. Separately, basically all the aluminium par...
Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #2 - The project starts
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video the project to modify the cbr1100xx blackbird starts. We will also do maintenance things. It is for sure a bit intimidating to start going into the bike, taking parts off in great numbers. I had minigrip bags onto which I wrote where the screws came from. In the end I had two boxes full of those bags. Taking screws off is not so exciting or difficult, so we don't focus on that. Th...
Glorious CBR1100XX Blackbird #1 - Presentation of the beautiful original bike.
มุมมอง 3.6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I want to present to you and take you with me on this project build and exploration of this Honda CBR1100xx. The bike is a 2002 year model, and had 49 790 km when I bought her. Although a really great motorcycle, I am going to customize it to make it fit me better, to make it ride better, and to make it look even better than it does originally (subjective opinion). This is going to be a series ...
congratulations very good video , what year model blackbird is that ??? cheers
Bellissimo video ne ho una anche io , gli specchietti sono i più belli di tutti i tempi da ricordare che sono quelli della magnifica nr 750. Un saluto da venezia
You've got a refreshing, great attitude and adventurous approach to your ride, go for it
Hello my friend and thank you for your very nice video. I would like to ask you something if you know. In Europe we have kilometers not miles, I found a 2005 model and it is in miles, is there a way to somehow change the measurement to kilometers in a mechanic?
Gorgeous Bird! I have a nearly stock '99 and love it.
Lucky motorbikes only have 2 wheels 🛞 or that could of got expensive lol 😜
Did you oil the airfilter (K&N filters need oiling)?
Did you tighten the last big nut on the APE only by hand? It seemed so in the video. I've seen some use tools so it stays tight. Have you had to adjust it since? Great bike!
wish i had seen this 18 months ago when i had to rebuild the forks on my superchicken.
Nope, You need the original candy apple red color.
respect!
Well done your bike looks absolutely fantastic, watched all the videos. Well done. Your right best bike ever. Im on my 8th blackbird all in blue of course. Safe riding.😊
All Glory to the Super Blackbird!
I've got a 2002 one and shes that sexy blue - what a joy she really is to look at and to ride.
Some nice updates you made there. I didn't realise the lithium battery would save so much weight. Have you had any issues with it in cold weather?
They are absolutely stunning wheels ..CBR blackbird porn ..if I had the cash I would love them wheels
Nice video. Why don't you installed black colour break and clutch levers? The gold colour does not fit in blue and black.
Problem with the VFR bars is changing the angle of the brake and clutch as the resevoirs limit movement
This is a 50.000km overhaul ,right? How much cost,tô do this até home? How much cost the New peaces?
Well done looks pretty good 👍
Keep chain adjustment and clean helps gear selection i dont mean anything by my coments might help
I like the videos never had a chance to visit finland
Ride where your comfortable
The more klms you do you'll dial it in
I had 2004 fuel injected you fixed the ergonomics with the bar change for use who are vertically challenged that has made it perfect mine had low klms one of the smoothest power output per for the road a well designed package the exhaust isn't raspy easy on the ears after all the note is slot about the ride really like your videos No nonsense well done
Mistäkö löysit uudet tarrat?
You should have replaced copper bushes it's surprising how they wear whilst looking ok
All very nice stuff 👌, except the tyres. This tyres is not the best for this bike.
Haha. Good to see. My example is a Candy Phoenix Blue x5 is sitting in my garage and hasn't been touched (or started) in 11 years (mostly down to a failed useless Datatool s3 alarm). It grieves me because it's probably the best all round motorcycle I ever had and I started riding in 1966. It's only got just over 13k (UK) miles on it and it would be nice to ride it again but I guess the cost of resurrecting it would be more than it's worth. Sad really.
Bought Dymag up7x wheels for my xx. Prefere aluminum to carbon. The lighter wheels are a great upgrade.
I replaced the original showa rear shock with a yss which was/is an awesome upgrade and most probably much cheaper than the nitron. ordered at Jaws where they told me that most guys order yss and are happy with that. great video!
don‘t have a power commander installed on my 2001 XX. nevertheless, the acceleration from 6000 onwards is insane. great bike.
TOP👍🔥
Beautiful job, them wheels are special. How much did they cost and where from?
Che bella sei bravissimo
Sei bravo ,la moto è venuta benissimo
Excellent job man, I have the same XX as you in perfect condition with 9000km on the clock. Greetings from Poland
Beautiful build. Very nicely done and great video!
Hello Vivien, notre ami transformer n'a pas l'air de répondre, on échange sur nos CBR 1100?
Bonsoir et merci pour vos vidéos! Quel gain de poids total avez-vous pu voir sur votre machine? Je viens d'acheter une 2003 bleue et pense la travailler à votre manière, merci pour le retour! francis
I suppose B-Bird fits cool weather like there. Meantime My b-Birds always heat up at Tokyo Traffic Jams.
Tämä on kyllä pirun hieno projekti, mikä on tuntuma Arashin jarrulevyistä kun kokemusta on nyt hieman kertynyt?
mikä renkaat sulla? ajaa varavasti*, niin ajokortti pois*
какой бюджет этого праздника?/what is the budget for this event?
great video and a great location where you are! I own the 2000 blackbird in red. Had a nice evening ride yesterday. It's a great bike!
There should be more grip on the front.
Молодец ! Хорошая работа. Мне приятно смотреть такие познавательные видео, так как я сам являюсь обладателем cbr1100xx.
Ace Jobe well done.
I fitted Dymag wheels, Braking Wave discs and Hel brake lines to mine, what a difference to turn in and braking. Great vid.
Nice work the only reservation is that you didn't use a 99/2000 with those beautiful analog dials, they make the cockpit look, classy.
