I ride an immaculate 1997 Blackbird and I've gotta say, this is the most shocking dangerous piece of riding I've seen in some time. Putting not only urself but other people's life at risk, just sickeningly pointless.

I've been Blackbird rider for 17 years now. There's times and places to ride like a maniac, these guys will kill themselves and others if they ride like that.

If this was taken in 2018 then the Blackbird was already 22 year old technology. That's how good they were and still are. In Oz the Blackbird outsold everything by about 20 to 1. No other manufacturer in this class got a look in. My mechanic told me about one he serviced regularly with 450,000k's on it. Even today nothing is going to leave one of these behind by much.

Nice ride... but you can’t go so fast in roads where there are houses and so on. Never.

отличный прохват , а главное нет музыки и слышно звук двигателей !!!! зимой бальзам на сердце )))

I think this particular blackbird is carbureted as well so this was a 1996-1998 model. Honda did such a great job on these bikes

I break the speed limit all the time but, in this video, I believe you are having to rely on other road users for you not to be in an accident. Not a good thing. I believe that you should never put your life in anyone elses hands. I noticed that you were speeding through villages. You must have better reactions than me or you are a believer in fate. One person using those designated crossings or a person backing out of their driveway and you have no chance of avoiding them. Ok, you are rolling the dice, and that is your choice but I hope to never meet you coming the other way. I like taking risks, but only with my life and not anyone elses. Nice bike the Blackbird and as this video shows, like other 180mph bikes, still able to keep up with the latest in real world situations( of course the rider makes the biggest difference) Anyway, ride fast but safe my friend.

The Blackbird is an Awesome machine.Always will be.

I bought my blackbird with 0 history with hondas, had kawasakis and suzukis but i felt like trying a bigger more "mature" bike than the z1000 and gsxrs ive previously had. And i absolutely love it, even tho im just 33 years old and some may say the bike is for an older audience i just love being comfortable yet still smoke the R1s and Gsxrs like its nothing ;D

Love the howl of that Blackbird! The R1 driver pushes the envelope a bit.

Captured the sound very nicely. Blackbird's are awesome bikes.

Blz ! Duas máquinas, dois pilotos.

I love how the rider on the R1 one likes to stick a knee out, but his helmet is almost on the opposite side of the tank filler in a turn lol. Would make more sense to leave his knee in, and get his upper body commited to the inside of the turn. Of course, he should do both! But in the end, riding like this is a game of russian roulette, so it will end sooner or later!

Keep the tyres off the painted lines at all times if possible

my 2002 runs as wonderfully as yours. Awesome machines.

If anyone had doubts about a Blackbird, this was quite an advert of its abilities, and it's much more cumfy than the R1.

I've got a 'bird, '97, but I never ride fast and dangerously like this, I watch the videos though!

The BB puts the power down so well you can use it early much more, the R1 would wheelie with the same throttle application.

Romania plai frumos :) Blackbird rocks!!!

Ki surra!!!! Ainda assim n traseira t contando a estrada!!! mai Parabéns a vcs dois!!!! top vcs!!!!!!!show""""

because of this kind of driving you die, drive through populated areas 200km / h, think about children and other road users, .... I'm a 25-year-old biker but this has nothing to do with reality or reality ... watch out for each other because you don't have your head excess in bag ...

Blackbird rider much safer, smoother and aware of other road users. All add up to being the faster rider. (And more likely to survive!)

Insane... Heavy Traffic! Really 💥☠️💥

I love my 97 Bird, fantastic bike. I'd never ride like this though!

Your R1 buddy will likely be dead very soon. The over taking he's doing while on-coming traffic is too close it a brew for disaster. I like how you take your time but still manage to catch up to the R1! :)

Eu sou fã desas motos

Love the sound of the carb version 👍

Saw a '57 R1 5 or 6 years ago, being a kawasaki fanatic, thought I would want that one, low seat, big back tyre, big engine, lovely. But how lucky was I? To out of nowhere, be the very happy owner of a' 05 GSF 650 Bandit, not even a Bandit S, wow, the most fun you can have on two wheels. Accelerates like it's falling off a cliff, red-lines at 12,000, any, any gear at 4,000 to 5k,not 1st gear, I guess that would put the rider on the back wheel, HATE WHEELIES, anywhere else 4 or 5k revs is like serious hyper bike performance, red-lines at 12,000. It is such joy always.

Do not try this at home kids. Racing on public roads is the quickest way to find that stairway to heaven. You can tell the R1 rider is trying to emulate his racing heroes eg, the leg out. On a racetrack he would be last, that is if he even made it to the finish.

CBR XX c'est une excellente machine 👍

Soon to be greasespots on the sides of the road. No respect. Death will follow. Sloppy riding technique.

Save that shit for a race track.

Duas motos de +++ dois pilotos bons

Изумительное видео от души.

That's exhilarating! Will be watching this a few times for sure...thanks for sharing.... Awesome 🏍️...

Nice video ! Well done man ! Take care and be safe !

I had an 81 Suzuki GS1100EX...THANK YOU FOR THIS...SPEED WAS MAKING ME POWER MAD...IN CALIFORNIA...RUNNING FROM CHP(BAD BAD BOY) GOT ARRESTED @ GUN POINT TOO(NO...NOT proud either) but never did that again as well...😔) HOWEVER...MY FRIEND AND I TOURED FROM SO CAL THROUGH OREGON, WASHINGTON, MONTANA(Yes through Yellowstone (met a male ELK AND GLAD HE TURNED AROUND HIS RACK WAS THE BIGGEST I HAVE EVER SEEN TO THIS DAY!!!) WE HOT SEPARATED UNFORTUNATELY AT OLD FACEFULL HE WENT OUT THE WEST GATE AND I WENT OUT THE SOUTH GATE INTO UTAH SEEING THE GRAND TETONS ON THE WAY) OUTSTANDING RIDE...HE RODE AN KAWASAKI Z1E 900 which he got a new chain and sprockets matching my gear ratios close enough to stand the RPM noise difference to ride next to each other...man the gearing was 800-1200 RPM HIGHER THAN MINE...IT MADE MY EARS SING...I KNOW WHAT DOGS HEAR WHEN SIRENS GO OFF 2 or more...I heard why they howl...buzz up and down...whew!!!) After he changed everything...only 30 diff...ahhhhhh...not bad...humming not howling...THANKS WHOMEVER VIDEOED THIS...I KNOW HOW THOSE NEWER BIKES FLY...WOW!!!!

По населенному пункту ,со скоростью свыше 200 это восмедисятый уровень

Awesome Awesome bike, the Blackbird will always be my no:1 bike.

what a beautiful video... pure Moto ride

Iksa mam, jeżdżę ale takiej prędkości w terenie zabudowanym nie popieram. Święty nie jestem ale biorę pod uwagę różne nieprzewidziane zdarzenia, o których nie wiemy. Szerokiej drogi życzę, uwagi na drodze bez nieprzewidzianych i niebezpiecznych sytuacji.

Love the camera angle :) Great riding. Although I've watched it before still an amazing video..

классс! аж дух захватывает!!!видел и другие ролики, водитель р1 оч жоский )))

Просто ахренеть ,аж дух захватывает.

What type of clip ons have you fitted? Also do these clips on have a lug to stop the clip on rotating too far forward?

O god xx is the best moto in the world. I want it so much...

R1 will have zero advantage over the Blackbird on a public road. The Blackbird's torque will be a good advantage. On the road the winner is always the one who doesn't care about dying.

If you think this is traffic then come to India ... In India this is a empty highway .

Just takes a junction left or right and they’re both dead at these speeds, disastrous riding.

I GETTING A STIFFLY oops cap lock from war-thunder playing

I had a 99 blackbird, favorite bike, and I rode it like it was stolen. It's a big bike but is a perfect road weapon in the right hands. What was the bird waiting for? Plenty of chances to pass.

what is the steering wheel in this xx?

get a thrill just from watching! What a great bike

👍👍👍 Супер!!

Innerorts!!! No Comment!

Two way traffic is Too dangerous for racing Some drivers takes counter flow when they make overtaking..

….so who won?

Immortal until proven otherwise? What about the kids in the housing area you both passed through?

Love ur video man are you guys here in the states?beautiful landscapes

класс прокатились

Awsome!

I just hope nobody innocent gets hurt by either of you.

jaka jest kierownica w tym xx-ie?

Whatch your rpm, its Always to low.

Just one thing Im curiosa about ...which gloves are those? Seem Nice

I used to ride an R1 & many bikes, this is why I do not ride anymore, I am older & wiser & have crashed at speed, wait till you crash when going at this speed & then you will realise the consequences of your actions bud.

Nice day at the track

This is dangerous...but i remember isle of man...is wonderfull crazy.

КРАСАВА.......

Cuando vai em busca aí tem q tirar a mão! 👍

Blimey - Crazy riding, Isle of Man eat your heart out ..

Same redbird for 28 years now....Jesus I have become an old .....😂

You bird sounds awesome!

Vere, frumos si periculos. Amicul tau cu r1 e nițel cam inconștient. God speed!!

have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? just curious.

Во сколько может обойтись такая покатуха,если сложить всё деньги за штрафы?!

Great vid

Love the sound of your bike...great riding...be safe...❤❤❤

Great bike, not so great riding. All it takes to be dead is someone to pull out of their driveway because when they last looked nothing was there, then you come by at enormous speed & plough right into them. I hope it never happens, but it is a strong possibility if you keep riding like this.

Helal size benim hayalim sizin bindiniz motora bir gün binmekk

The only “vs” is who is going to be dead or in wheelchair first.

The bird is a better all round bike.

I love Romanian turns...:-)

good Sound!!

Красава

Круто💪

Do you have linked brakes like my VFR, I think the R1 is a safer bike because I would trust the brakes more. Very nice bike though. Prefer Honda over yanaha

Great road any speed limit here ???

Пойду штанишки менять

I had both of them r1 is in moment more alive and on first faster but on open road watch out bird will catch you

INSANE...ly FUN

Which model XX is this and which exhaust?

You must Great Honda Black Bird

Whats choice CBR 1100 2002, CBR 954, CBR 1000 RR 2004-2005 or GSXR 1000 K5/K6 ????

Nice video, like to see some more with your Bird. I have the same one from the same year, I think. I have the same cockpit

Muito.loco.bicho.

Both brilliant bikes but of the two I’d rather been onboard the Blackbird. I’m pretty sure that the guy piloting the R1 has a death wish, some of his overtakes especially on blind right handler were iffy to say the least.

Blackbird... The bike The myth The legend..

Have you guys heard of track days ? Just saying

Cbr 1100 xx.....the sport touring for exellence
