2006 Honda CBR 1100 XX Super Blackbird Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Honda's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2006 Honda CBR 1100 XX Super Blackbird pairs a 1137 cc (69.4 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 150.2 HP (109.6 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 119 Nm (87.8 lb-ft) at 7,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 132.1 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (7,250 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the CBR 1100 XX Super Blackbird measures 227 kg (500 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.66 HP/kg (1.51 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 23-liter (6.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
