@john74
There's another really cool bike out there, the Aprilia Falco Tuono. The Tuono look can also be achived with a kit, and then its called Falco Fighter. I have tried to post a pic of it on this site, however I get error messages every time. Since you have posted quite a lot of pics, any simple way to do this? I have searched for tips on this, but not found any. And by the way, the Xeleven is about 23 000 euros. Expensive..

I've a BMW K 1100 LT... not really a sport-machine... but I've got a bike since 1978 and now, I love traveling around the North of Europe !! Did twice Switzerland - Nord Cap... and the BMW is the best bike to do such a trip... (about 6'000 Km in 10 days...) !!
By the way... I've a T68 too...

hey John! Almost summerlike conditions, taking the bike out every day now. As soon as the car drivers get a bit used to see motorcycles again I'll start using my bike to and from work ( they tend to get a litte blind after a long winter when there's no bikes on the road ) Stay alive

That really pisses me off to NO car driver hardly gives a shit if you are on 2 wheels they act as if your not there,i got to admit though i enjoy blasting most cars on the motorway though,the other day a BMW M5 came right behind my CBRXX and started flashing his light at me so i could give way to him and i just dissapeared into the horizon...FELT GOOD,he ate my dust

I've had my GSX-R600 out for a few weeks now. Been out doing a bit of scratching and drifting.
Just looking through the listings to see what trackdays myself and the boys will book ourselves onto. www.uktrackdays.co.uk

Have fun this summer you guys and girls and remember black side down, shiny side up!
Back in love with the Big O again!

2003 BLACKBIRD.....Honda insiders have confirmed the Super Blackbird is getting a mid-range boost and a restyle for 2003.

Although the changes are expected to raise power by as much as 20bhp to around 155bhp, the real target of the changes is to give it more grunt.

The current bike has a capacity of 1137cc and produces 135bhp at the rear wheel with 75ft.lb of torque. According to Northamptonshire based tuning firm TTS this can easily be bored out by 2mm to 1196cc without compromising reliability.

Our computer generated image gives an indication of the new look, though Honda sources refuse to confirm it is accurate.
