Honda X 11 is the first model of its kind, which is unique in concept: it was originally created as a hybrid of a sports and touring bike, and then improved to a naked one.
Naked (naked) - from English the word “naked” is translated as undressed, naked.
This style is distinguished by the absence of a frame (plastic cladding). Sometimes mistakenly confused with a bobber.
Bike features
Here are the main features of the Honda X11:
- thoughtful design down to the smallest detail;
- excellent road grip;
- a kind of wind protection.
It would take a long time to list the advantages of the bike, but in short, Honda definitely tried to make the perfect naked bike. It’s too early to judge whether they succeeded. Now, if in twenty years the motorcycle still remains relevant, this question can be answered in the affirmative.
Best Cryptocurrencies
The most popular digital currency running on X11 is Dash, which was originally called Darkcoin. The crypto asset is based on DarkSend technology, which ensures 100% confidentiality during transactions.
Confirmation of operations is carried out not only through mining, but also through masternodes. To record a block, the miner needs to reach consensus with the masternode. The reward is divided almost equally, the miner receives a little more – 55%.
Pura – this cryptocurrency appeared relatively recently, namely in 2016. It has a lot in common with Dash. The anonymity of transactions is maintained through the use of PrivatePay technology. Masternodes provide the necessary infrastructure support. The coin is managed using the DAO system, centralization is excluded.
The Russian cryptocurrency Sibcoin is based on Dash. The difference is that the developers have integrated additional encryption algorithms into the system. Mining is based on the X11ghost algorithm - this is an optimized version of the development of Evan Duffield. The main difference is the integration of the Stribog hash function.
Polis is another new digital currency that only appeared in 2022. Mining is less profitable, since the masternode receives most of the profit – 75%. However, when consensus is reached, the user's status does not matter, which ensures complete decentralization of the system.
Closing the top five popular cryptocurrencies based on the X11 algorithm is CanabisCoin. The coin was created for the purchase and sale of marijuana, but only in those regions where it is permitted. The developers claim that each coin is equivalent to one gram of marijuana. According to forecasts, the average cost of cryptocurrency is $10-20, which is exactly how much cannabis costs in the United States.
There are other coins:
- StartCoin;
- AdzCoin;
- Cream;
- ArcticCoin;
- DigitalCoin;
- SmartCoin;
- Eternity;
- Onix;
- Influxcoin;
- Quebeccoin.
Other cryptocurrencies can be viewed in the table with mining algorithms.
Dimensions and weight
The motorcycle weighs 222kg with an empty tank, while a fully fueled X11 will weigh 254kg. The height of the car at the saddle reaches 795 mm, and the wheelbase is 1500 mm. The length of the motorcycle is 2145 mm, the width is 750 mm, and the height is 1115 mm. A tank volume of 22 liters is quite sufficient, taking into account actual fuel consumption from 7 liters to 9 liters per hundred km.
General description of the model
The motorcycle became a revelation for true connoisseurs, but in wide circles it never took its rightful place.
“X 11” does not easily change the impression of bikes, it is addictive.
Initially, the rider has to get used to the atypical position while riding, but once you feel it, that’s it, you will absolutely no longer want to change the “iron horse”.
It is also worth mentioning that the bike is quite large in size, best suited for tall people weighing over 75 kg.
If you know anything about the motorcycle industry, you know what makes this model unique. For people who are less informed, it is worth paying attention to this topic.
The Honda X 11 model is the first bike that combines sports and touring characteristics (the first in mass production). Engineers have been struggling with constantly emerging difficulties for a long time, so the motorcycle has several specific issues, such as a strangled engine.
It turned out to be too powerful for the “naked” bike.
One of the most legendary motorcycles released of all time is the Yamaha V Max, created to provide adrenaline and frantic energy to its riders.
This is a racing motorcycle designed for the track, for speed and only speed:
Chassis and brakes
The space frame of this bike is made of aluminum, which makes it somewhat lighter. The X11's body is elegant, and every detail has been thought through to the utmost. Even the shape of the instrument panel is designed to improve the wind protection of the motorcycle. The wheel rims are, of course, alloy.
The rear suspension is pendulum, equipped with a monoshock absorber. At the front there is a 43 mm telescopic fork. The X11 brakes at the rear using a 256 mm disc together with a three-piston caliper, and at the front for these purposes a pair of 310 mm discs and three-piston calipers are used.
History of appearance
The appearance of the algorithm is directly intertwined with the development of the Dash cryptocurrency. Evan Duffield (creator of the DASH coin) questioned the reliability of SHA-256, as a result of which he began an independent search for an alternative option.
The initial goal of X11 is to prevent problems with the centralization of the Dash system. The excessive simplicity of SHA-256 could cause a sharp price collapse for the cryptocurrency, since it is likely that most of the digital currency will be concentrated in the hands of a few powerful pools.
Evan Duffield also worked to increase the level of mining security. Sequential hashing, consisting of several rounds, has significantly increased the security against hacking. The developer himself has repeatedly emphasized that many investors are afraid to invest in Bitcoin and other coins due to the fact that the SHA-256 algorithm cannot be called 100% hack-proof. The X11 algorithm has been actively used since 2014.
Immediately after the launch of X11, work began on creating new versions of this algorithm. The updates have no fundamental differences, except that the number of rounds changes. The X17 algorithm has become the most popular version, but developers are still increasing the level of complexity of its structure, so it is too early to talk about a full launch.

Honda X 11 is power embodied in metal and plastic. Boasting a muscular engine that's shamelessly displayed for all to see, it's not just another high-powered motorcycle for speeding through the streets at night - it's a legend. However, you can evaluate its external data for yourself by carefully examining our selection.
First in class sports tourer
Motorsport as a phenomenon dates back to the 30s of the last century.
However, tricks to create a sport-touring bike began only in 1998, when the X11 model was released.
The bike became one of the best in its environment, but never became popular.
The reason for this lies in the average parameters of the motorcycle: the bike’s engine is weaker than on any stormmoto, and the heavy frame and seat are not as comfortable as a grand tourer.
Whatever you say, the model turned out to be an acquired taste, so not everyone can get used to such a unit .
Honda X 11 became the favorite of the developers, which was worked out very thoroughly.
As a result, all irregularities and incomprehensible clutter turn out to be carefully thought out and simply necessary for a comfortable ride.
Estimated cost
Since Drozd was produced for only a few years , you are unlikely to find a new one.
But among used bikes there are many good options that cost around $400.
The estimated price may vary depending on the condition and mileage of the motorcycle from $300 to $600.
Simple and easy to drive, the Honda CBR 600 RR delivers performance in all conditions, be it the race track or narrow city streets.
This article reviews a motorcycle that is well suited for dense city traffic and maneuvering between cars in traffic jams.
