The CBR1100XX was the culmination of Honda's ambitious effort to
produce the ultimate superbike with a breathtaking performance. The
unique design of the Blackbird facilitates excellent aerodynamics by
achieving a small frontal area and one of the lowest effective
coefficients of drag in motorcycling, while ensuring a remarkably high
level of wind protection and rider comfort.
The CBR's liquid-cooled, 16-valve DOHC inline-four cylinder 1137cc
engine generates a peak power of 153 bhp at 10000 rpm. On the braking
front, Honda's revolutionary Linked Braking System (LBS), first used in
the 1993 CBR1000F and completely revised on the 1996 ST1100,
simultaneously engages both front and rear brakes when either the front
brake lever or rear brake pedal is used.
The CBR's dual-spar diamond-configuration aluminum frame features a
triple-box-section extruded aluminum swingarm that offers exceptional
rigidity without excessive size and weight. The swingarm is supported by
a standard Honda Pro-Link rear suspension system which features an
H.M.A.S. rear damper.
