I am GUTTED that Honda have stopped producing the Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird.
My hope is that the gorgeous 2004 Bird I own lasts long enough for the current, misguided Honda management and design team to be superceded by a new guard who realise that Honda created the perfect motorcycle in 1996.
I have $20,000 waiting to spend on a bike that is a worthy replacement - NOT a stylised V4 bored-out VF800R-hybrid mistake.
Why does everything have to change? The wheel cannot be improved, can it?
Honda created the perfect supersports tourer in the CBR1100XX Super Blackbird - update the design Honda, don't just replace it for the sake of 'modernity'.
