The Honda X11 is a naked sports bike based on the mechanicals of the CBR1100XX Blackbird.
Styling
Styling
The X11's styling is characterised by the enormous exposed engine and the gigantic radiator housing. The design of the radiator shroud has two benefits, firstly it affords the rider some extra wind protection, and secondly it provides downforce to the front wheel at speed.
Chassis
While the chassis and engine of the Honda X11 are borrowed from the Blackbird, there are some minor differences between the two.

Engine
The X11's engine produces slightly less power, and the intentional removal of one of the balance shafts gives the X11 a slightly rougher feel - in keeping with the bikes appearance.
