... well wrapped and the front wheel quite shrouded. More on this later because it does make the engine run quite hot but don’t worry it wont blow up. In short this is one bike that will not give away many mph to wind drag, that is until you perch an idiot on the top of it. Fire her up and it’s a subtle experience. Quiet throb from the 1100cc four and you are on the way. It’s a big bike so under 6 foot ad you are probably on tiptoes. Underway it is very easy to ride and people who look at the power figu...more

I have lived with my blackbird for about 6 months now and as an every day rider we are well acquainted First thing to consider when reviewing the bike IMHO is the brief it was designed to. Discreet hyper sports tourer for the discerning motorcyclist or there abouts in Japanese. Basically you get the impression that the guy who designed the VFR (which it was) was given the job of bringing it on a little. a sort of grown up VFR. Here are the ingredients v powerfull motor, trick braking system, roomy frame and discreet styling. In the Blackbird they gell with perfection. In the flesh it is a very imposing and attractive bike. Everything about is designed ... Read the complete review

The best all round bike i've ever ridden.It will tour,scratch or do a track day just as easily as it will take you to work and back.The best buy for the Blackbird is Dunlop D207 tyres as they transform the handling from slightly ponderous to razor sharp. A scottoiler is also well recommended,I've adjusted my chain 4 times in 14,000 miles. I,ve been to Scotland,The IOM and to Brands Hatch and there is no other bike I would rather do those sort of trips on . I may be biased as I own one but I can not sing its praises highly enough. Definitely five star rating. ... Read the complete review

It comes close. I have test ridden a few bikes down the months with a view to upgrading from my reliable, nippy but ultimately dull Suzuki GS500E. I toyed with many powerful machines but the only one which thrilled without terrifying and satisfied completely was the Blackbird. R1 felt too light and the riding position too cramped; Hyabusa and ZX12 are uninsurable; after riding them the thought of a less powerful bike was anathema. So it was that I rolled out of the showroom with my new mistress firmly in control, tempting me day by day to lean further, corner faster and turn heads in my self-satisfied wake. When I tell friends about it I start ... Read the complete review
