This is my little baby, 2001 CBR1100XX superblackbird complete with full Ohlins front/rear, sticky (ish) rubber, scottoiler, Alarm, Double Bubble, Hugger, 100W dip/mains and various other little tweaks. I have had a few bikes in my time but nothing can match the BB for its overall package of performance, comfort, handling, cost and silky smooth power Karma Karma

Do you like the top adjusters though Question , they aren't stock HONDA parts, direct from a 1200 Bandit and work a treat. Thumbs Up

The rear shock is £495.00 + fitting (if you cannot do it yourself)
The front springs are £70 + oil & fitting and the top pre load adjusters were £50.

very neat bike mate I thought it was a brand new bike until I read what you typed Thumbs Up I love the colour of the wheels like a magnesium finish hey? how do you find the dual controlled brakes? and did you notice a big improvement in high speed handling with the ohlins improvements?

The dual linked brakes are fine, you have to muscle it a touch if you drag the rear into a fast corner but otherwise its superb.
The wheels are a standard finish. The bike is a Sept 2001 and still looks well even with 20K on it.
The OHLINS is fine at high speed and even better 2 up or when pushed hard in the twisties.
