Over on ebay there's a nice 156bhp blackbird for sale - here's part of the text;

'We bought this fuel injected 1999 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird for our daughter to play with in Run What You Brung Drag Race events at Shakespeare County Raceway in 2010. After we bought it I took the totally standard road legal bike to Tim Blakemore Racing in Bristol to check out it's performance on his dyno. It turned out to be the most powerful standard Blackbird Tim has ever tested at just over 140bhp. Daughter rode it at 3 events in 2010 and was delighted (she hadn't even passed her CBT then!) For 2011 I made a number of small mods including a one off 4-1 exhaust, lowering link and de-linked brakes using a lightweight Fireblade rear caliper. Tim Blakemore fitted and mapped a Dynojet Power Commander pushing the rear wheel horepower up to 156bhp. After an alarming wheelspin at over 90mph in 2nd gear a Shinko drag slick was fitted to the rear wheel and a nice new Michelin Pilot Power to the front. In this form it ran a best of 10.51 @ 137 mph despite the inexperienced rider, 0 - 110 mph in 6.9 seconds certainly gets your attention!

Not sure if I am missing something. An R1 (obv) has a faster quarter mile time.
