Hello all, I currently own a 1997 CBR1100xx Blackbird with a turbo. Looking forward to the board!

Welcome to the forum!
Is the blackbird your first bike or have you been riding for awhile? Either way, make yourself at home here and ride safe.

Wow that bike has to be an insane ride. I hope that isn't your first bike, but if it is (or even if it isn't really lol) please be careful out there. Welcome to the crew...yea I know I'm a newb here too, but working on fixing that. Great group of really helpful knowledgeable people here.

Thanks guys! I live in Syracuse New York and no it's not my first bike I installed the turbo set up last winter and had it dyno tuned to a crisp 247 rear wheel HP. I will show the graphs once I am allowed to. This thing is a ball to ride but..I had to re learn throttle control that's for sure. I will be posting pics soon. Thanks for the welcome!
