RIDE used bike test

[Shuggie]

The Blackbird has just been voted best by a group of riders in the magazine Ride.
The Bird was up against 1. pan European, 2.BMWR1100RT, 3.BMW R1150RS and (drum roll) 4. Yam R1

For those who are interested here is the verdict:

At the end of the test I asked our group of riders which bike, if they were given the choice, they'd take home and keep for at least 2 years. No selling it, swapping it or otherwise. Six of them went straight for the same bike. Which one do you think it was?

All but the youngest and most inexperienced member of the group plumped straight for Honda's CBR1100xx Super Blackbird. Why?

Most loved the Honda's combination of eyeball-popping power, nimble agility, speedy-but-understated looks, excellent resale value and exemplary build quality. The Blackbird's comfortable on long runs, capable on the twisties, it's not to bad on petrol, it wheelies if you want it to and you can get your knee down if you fancy a bit of scraping. All I can say is: bring on the 1200 model

Just states the obvious, and what all us already know. I'm just off to renew my subscription to 'RIDE'
