| Gidday, thanks, I’ll be searching Google later to find a sport where the UK has the superior team/sportsman, I maybe there a while!!! My first impressions of the blackbird, still excitable about the whole experience !!!. Wow! Super smooth, really does inspire confidence, travelled through, town, country twisties and a blast on a quick dual carriageway. No wrist ache or discomfort of any kind. Brakes bite nice and quickly, barely noticeable that they are linked, I suppose as it should be. Once I got my head down under the screen I'm in my own private space. Adrenaline rush!!!  Haveridden some reasonably quick bikes but this really pulls like a train, acceleration is just phenomenal and quickly got me to the limits of my riding ability. Heartbeat was beating pretty fast. Overall I’m well and truly converted to the Blackbird. So tempting to take a trip to Germany and get on that autobahn and see the Bird really fly. |

Found this, a pre injection model, it really goes like the clappers, a real rocket. Don't know if I'm that brave, a bit more practice before I take the plunge. | |

Here's us in NZ: YouTube - Honda Blackbirds in New Zealand. Speeded up 50% to get a decent edited length of Arthur's Pass fitted into 9 minutes as it was over an hour long originally, but at least it's Blackbirds being enjoyed! Geoff |
