[1][2] The Honda X11 (also called CB1100SF) is a standard motorcycle produced by Honda with a 1,137 cc (69.4 cu in) liquid-cooled, inline-four engine and downforce inducing radiator shroud that increased cooling capacity and stability at high speed.[citation needed] It is based on the CBR1100XX Super Blackbird.
As the Honda X11 was designed as a performance naked motorcycle as opposed to supersports-tourer, it featured a number of differences from the CBR1100XX. It had a modified fueling map which reduced peak power output by 12 bhp to 140 bhp but increased midrange torque to deliver a flat torque curve and very driveable power unit. It featured a five-speed gearbox claimed to be better suited to technical non-highway use. It featured a modified centre-pivot frame that allowed a degree of flex for greater rider feedback. It featured a revised CBS (Dual Combined Braking System) linked braking system tuned to engage less rear brake on the application of the front brake lever to provide a more conventional feel favoured by enthusiastic riders. It featured a single balancer shaft (as opposed to dual) to allow greater mechanical sensation to be transmitted through the seat. It featured rubber-mounted clip-ons to allow greater mechanical sensation to be transmitted through the grips. It featured single section hero blobs on the footpegs as opposed to the triple-section hero blobs to allow greater lean angles to be achieved before the pegs made contact with the ground. Finally, the manufacturer recommended tyre pressure for the front tyre was lower than that of the CBR1100XX reflecting the imagined use case being enthusiastic backroad use as opposed to unrestricted autobahn use. This was advantageous as lower tyre pressures facilitate shorter tyre warming intervals.
The Honda X11 featured a number of characteristic styling traits. It featured a bulbous fuel tank which took inspiration from Honda's mass centralization design philosophy. The tank had a generous 22-litre capacity which gave it a very useful 220-mile range. It featured an automotive looking plastic radiator shroud that attempted to combat the twin challenges faced by naked bikes of poor radiator cooling efficiency and poor high-speed stability by effectively channelling air to the radiator, and by incorporating an aerodynamic lip that generated downforce at higher speeds. It also featured a plastic shroud for the instrument cluster designed to combat discomfort often felt when riding naked bikes at highway speeds caused by wind buffeting by diffusing air around the rider increasing comfort. This was effective in reducing buffeting at up to 85 mph / 137 km/h.
The stacked headlight of the CBR1100XX was replaced by a standard round H4 headlight typical of naked motorcycles. The twin exhausts of the CBR1100XX were retained.
Performance was incredible for a naked motorcycle at the time of release in 1999 with a 1/4 mile sprint of 10.8 seconds. This performance level is comparable with contemporary performance naked motorcycles such as the Yamaha MT10 which records a 1/4 mile sprint of 10.6 seconds. It had a maximum speed of 157 mph / 252 km/h.

The Honda X11 (also called CB1100SF) is a standard motorcycle produced by Honda with a 1,137 cc (69.4 cu in) liquid-cooled, inline-four engine and downforce inducing radiator shroud that increased cooling capacity and stability at high speed. It is based on the CBR1100XX Super Blackbird.
In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values. It was traditionally shipped with every X11 installation, hence the name, and is usually located in /lib/X11/rgb.txt. The web colors list is descended from it but differs for certain color names. Color names are not standardized by Xlib or the X11 protocol. The list does not show continuity either in selected color values or in color names, and some color triplets have multiple names. Despite this, graphic designers and others got used to them, making it practically impossible to introduce a different list. In earlier releases of X11 (prior to the introduction of Xcms), server implementors were encouraged to modify the RGB values in the reference color database to account for gamma correction. As of X.Org Release 7.4 rgb.txt is no longer included in the roll up release, and the list is built directly into the server. The optional module xorg/app/rgb contains the stand-alone rgb.txt file. The list first shipped with X10 release 3 (X10R3) on 7 June 1986, having been checked into RCS by Jim Gettys in 1985. The same list was in X11R1 on 18 September 1987. Approximately the full list as is available today shipped with X11R4 on 29 January 1989, with substantial additions by Paul Ravelling (who added colors based on Sinclair Paints samples), John C. Thomas (who added colors based on a set of 72 Crayola crayons he had on hand) and Jim Fulton (who reconciled contributions to produce the X11R4 list). The project was running DEC VT240 terminals at the time, so would have worked to that device. In some applications multipart names are written with spaces, in others joined together, often in camel case. They are usually matched insensitive of case and the X Server source code contains spaced aliases for most entries; this article uses spaces and uppercase initials except where variants with spaces are not specified in the actual code.
X11 is a windowing system common on Unix-like operating systems. X11 or X-11 may also refer to:
Shades of brown can be produced by combining red, yellow, and black pigments, or by a combination of orange and black—illustrated in the color box. The RGB color model, that generates all colors on computer and television screens, makes brown by combining red and green light at relatively low intensities, with green light being in a lesser proportion than red light. Brown color names are often imprecise, and some shades, such as beige, can refer to lighter rather than darker shades of yellow and red. Such colors are less saturated than colors perceived to be orange. Browns are usually described as light or dark, reddish, yellowish, or gray-brown. There are no standardized names for shades of brown; the same shade may have different names on different color lists, and sometimes one name (such as beige or puce) can refer to several very different colors. The X11 color list of web colors has seventeen different shades of brown, but the complete list of browns is much longer. Brown colors are typically desaturated shades of reds, oranges, and yellows which are created on computer and television screens using the RGB color model and in printing with the CMYK color model. Browns can also be created by mixing two complementary colors from the RYB color model (combining all three primary colors). In theory, such combinations should produce black, but produce brown because most commercially available blue pigments tend to be comparatively weaker; the stronger red and yellow colors prevail, thus creating brown tones. Displayed here are some common brown shades. Some of them are associated with (any of various types of) soil, rock, or vegetation and are thus also classifiable among the earth tones.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
