I've never owned one, but it was top of its class until the zx12r and Hayabusa came out.

My buddy had one of these bikes and kicks his ass everyday for selling it. He said it was one of the best bikes he ever owned. Fast as hell and comfortable to ride. I really considered a black bird before I decided on the Fazer.

lol, his was the same color, I was 17 and it was the first superbike I ever rode. I actually scared myself because until then the quickest bike I had ever ridden was a hopped up sportster.

Yeah it's a Honda........


The only thing I have heard is the regulators are quite weak and stop working often. It's quite a common thing to change them with an R1 regulator.

The above link includes tit bits of info for the Blackbird, such as installing a nitrous kit :)
