      Looking at buying a 2000 model going for USD 2,500. 25K kms. Not sure how much longer I can ride this given it’s a 24 year old bike but it seems to be built to last so let’s see.

    Arguably one of the best bikes ever made (performance, build quality, reliability). I did 40k miles in two years on one of these, including lots of European m/way and autobahn riding. Super aero so just gets better the faster you go. Bad points? Hungry for tyres/brakes/chains if you use the performance. The standard seat is bloody awful, too flat, and uncomfortable. Camchain tensioners wear out but cost only £60 and can be changed in about half an hour, very easy. Fuel injection models have an issue with the OBD port which leads to strange electrical issues, very easy to fix. Steel oil lines to the oil cooler can rot through and leak on high mileage bikes so worth checking. Overall a great bike, still loads on the road and cheap enough to buy. One of my favourite ever bikes (and I've owned literally dozens of bikes over nearly 40 years of riding).

      @@thebigbadbikeshow Best I ever had (commuting 90 miles per day) was 48 mpg (measured brim to brim) but that was pretty boring riding (steady 55-60 mph). In normal use it was consistently around the 40 mpg mark though (1998 carb model) so maybe yours could do with a bit of a tune up if you're down in the 30s (FI is sensitive to exhaust lambda sensor, if that has any issues it might be running richer than it needs to).
      Mind you, most bigger bikes are crap on fuel really, I currently have a 2006 Transalp 650 that only does around 45 mpg and a 2006 ER6F that struggles to do much better than 55 mpg (even ridden sensibly), pretty poor really, my wife's Suzuki car can easily do 50 mpg. To be fair though, if we really cared about mpg we'd all be riding Honda NC700s, (yawn).

      The cam chain doesn’t tend to wear out, but the cam chain tensioner does. This means that the cam chain can become slack and eventually come off if not changed. You can fit either a manual or automatic cam chain tensioner. I went for the upgraded automatic cam chain tensioner as I didn’t want to keep having to adjust a manual one. Hope this helps! 👍

      Thank you for watching the review we are glad you found it informative, if your an experienced rider I would highly recommend getting a Honda blackbird they are fantastic bikes. The bandit 1200 are also a great commuter bike and they have been around just as long as the blackbird, so plenty of spare parts and a good following for them. But if you are after more straight line speed I would definitely choose the blackbird over the bandit. Another bike I would suggest if you are after a sports tourer for roughly the same money would be the Honda VFR 800 they are also really good bikes and in a similar price range of the blackbird and the bandit.

      Those are quite different models to be choosing between (but then I once had to pick between a Fatboy and a 890 Adventure, so what do I know?).
      The thing they will both do well is mid to long range touring on a budget (I'm assuming you are looking at the half-faired Bandit S). Bear in mind, the Bandit was always built to a budget, so general finish, suspension, etc will likely be an issue unless you find a truly loved version. A Blackbird could have had a rough life (at the same price point as a Bandit), but tend to be well looked after by owners and came with higher quality to begin with.

      The Blackbird and VFR are both sports tourers, so I would say they are both just has good as each other and have pros and cons. The Blackbird I would say is a lot more comfortable to ride, it has a lot more power than the VFR. Also the Blackbird is very iconic with its history being the first of the hyper bikes. The VFR has a great range on a full tank of fuel. It has less power than the Blackbird but very economical and comfortable compared to the blackbird. If you are undecided I would say find a Blackbird and a VFR to test ride and see for yourself. But I would say they are both in the same price range and you get that Honda reliability.

      @@thebigbadbikeshow Technically the zzr1100 was the first of the hyper's 😜 and was the bike to beat, I've owned a zzr1100 and currently own a 2000 5th gen vfr800fi and can attest that the VFR800 is a brilliant bike if a little slow and less grunty being a slightly smaller engine and down about 40-60hp on the big boys. I've test ridden a blackbird and I was very impressed and will be picking one up either this year or next to go in the garage with the VFR. Loved the review.

    great for A-roads - but who the hell wants to ride on those?? After motorways they're almost always the most boring sections of any ride.

      Actually, the bike can handle pretty nice on the B roads if it has good tires a setup suspension and the rider has enough skill to handle it’s size and weight

      @@colinnicols5387 The best you can say about Blackbirds is, imo, the price. A strong one can be had for £3k - which is amazing for what was a top of the range bike. If a small fraction of riding is on B-roads, they'll be fine. But if half of all miles are on unclassified lanes, I'd be after something with longer travel suspension.
