It's a honda X11.(Pic attached)
Weighs 250kg,top speed 260+,power wheelies first and second and a more than capable mile eater.
Opinions?

It's "only" got 135ish horsepower but then it's a naked version of blackbird, which blackbird is one of the original "hyperbike" so.... Seems like you are a nice guy so we'll let you join the club.

I'm sure He's a nice guy but an X11 ?

135 HP is nowhere near Hyperbike territory, not even close.

Club admission denied.

my Blackbird I would place in this class just an older version in my opinion so YEP your X11 is in there

Squint your eyes as hard as you can after drinking a couple of glasses of burbon. It "just" might look like a hyperbike..... just.

Personally k1300s would be the minimum entry level bike.
Blackbird would be below hyperbike standards. Launched pre hyperbike days and they never advanced.
zx12r- Borderline but included.

Let a x11 in and all of a sudden triumph owners will want in.

Turbo it and we will revisit the idea.

Entry conditions- Small amount of handling, LARGE amount of power, some rider comfort and weight exceeds 220kg.

Out. You were never in.
You cant play if your bike handles well on a very twisty road or looks like a GP bike with lights. If its a light weight rocket then your on a sports bike.

Your comments from outside the circle of trust are still appreciated though.

Thats funny, the dude who started the thread mentions blackbirds in his first sentence.

Hold on. I'll be back with an extended swingarm and a turbo. That should add extra 20kgs and degraded handling I need.
