Scale capture of the Honda CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird

Debuting in 1996, the Honda CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird combined high output with aerodynamic refinement. With around 165 horsepower and a top speed in excess of 300 km/h, the machine featured wind tunnel-developed bodywork and a narrow frontal profile created by its piggy-back combination headlights. The model aims to reproduce those key visual traits.

Authenticity in molding and parts

Tamiya's 1/12 scale version reflects the bike's aerodynamic fairing and the dual-shaft balancer concept inside the engine. The kit includes representations of air intakes and the combined brake arrangement, offering builders parts that match the original bike's engineering cues.

Collector value and display considerations

As a display model, this Tamiya kit is well suited to collectors who prioritise accurate lines and engine detail. Finished correctly, it works well as a showpiece among other scale motorcycles or as a standalone exhibit.
