It's interesting that they chose to compare the Honda 1000cc engine with 1100cc engines from the other manufacturers. I wonder why they didn't compare the BlackBird. It has a 1100cc engine, right? My guess is because that would have made the other manufacturer's bikes look anemic.

The article is from '93. The Blackbird didn't exist yet.

Then we should do an update...
Update: the Blackbird destroys them.

As far as the 1kf through the years, I don't really care what year you have. They are all essentially the same machine, and are allsweet bikes. Minimal differences, mostly unnoticable.
I remember when I first saw a Hurricane, back in 1988. I was always hanging out at a local bike shop on my badass XR80 that I ran all around the countryside.I came in one day to find that the owner had bought one brand new. I fell in love. I told myself that one day I'd have one. It took me about 17 years, but....
Oh, and shadow... let's shake hands...
From one F'er to another....

Shadow, you and KT should start a new thread where you guys just rip on each other and the rest of us can be amused and vote on who has the best barbs!

Are they your riding buddies, Shadow? By the way, your ex-girlfriends send their regards.
