I think the X7 was the first to do 100, I restored one years ago but it couldn't corner due to the fact that the front wheel was never on the floor! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Got the Honda Blackbird 1998 carb model. The last Real outing was to the BSB round in Assen and managed 172mph on the bridge road back. My brother Ian. RIP! Managed 155mph on his Pan European and our other friend did 130mph on a CBR 1000. I have just sold the Blackbird but will remember it and am still astounded by it's ability. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
