The power and the glory
This is the bike that legends are made of - an inline 4-cylinder 1137cc powerplant capable of 164PS that is governed by a dual balancer-shaft system, giving it the glossy power delivery for which it is respected the world over.

Excellence uncloaked
Power is nothing without control. The Super Blackbird's dual-spar triple-box aluminium frame and swingarm are allied to Honda's Multi-Action Suspension (HMAS) system at the front and rear to provide precise feedback along the straights and through the turns.

Air apparent
With a sleek air management design, the Super Blackbird has a drag coefficient akin to that of a 250 GP machine. This is further enhanced by a bubble-type windscreen for even more relaxed long distance touring.

Responsive performance
The Super Blackbird is more than environmentally astute having a catalyser which improves emissions without cutting power output, and an air-injection system to guarantee more of the fuel is burnt off.

Let's fly
Whether low speed cruising or high speed riding the Super Blackbird delivers you to your destination feeling so fresh and excited that you'll not want to stop.
