Its a bit tatty round teh edges but so am I.
Intending to sort it over Winter.
Had a quick check o dyno run today and its putting out 173.17 bhp at rear wheel, about 6 down on quoted. Considering its on old fuel and hasnt had a service for a while its about on the money.
Guy reckons it could do with valve clearances doing and maybe plugs and filter.
Stock Blackbirds generally make 135-140 at teh wheel unless power commander cans and filter are fitted, then close to 150
This is a V&M cbr 1200
CArillo conrods, 13 to 1 compression, different cams, 1200cc, full akra etc etc
Only 25 were made of a planned 50, for teh Honda 50th anniversary in 1998. Crank power is 200 bhp or there abouts

Stoney has just had a go.
Needs fettling though, its a bit untidy.
Hesitant ot constant throttle sometimes too, needs setting up
Sounds like the carbs may need balancing - I recently balanced mine, which stopped the very slight 'hunting' just above idle in low gears/low engine load. Runs perefectly now.
its been sttod a lot for teh past 3 years, covering about 600 miles. Needs a good service and carbs set up etc, plus im going to get teh valve clearances done if i can find what they are!
