2018 Honda CB1000R Review & Test Ride

[@JJ-cg3rn]

This motorcycle continues to grow on me. Love the aluminum pieces as well and really like the exhaust. Personally I am not a huge fan of matte finish on the tank and fender. I prefer a mirror finish myself... great review by the way!

That clunk putting it into first gear is Gone now by using Motul 7100 ester 4T engine oil 👍 I also flushed the stock coolant and put the blue Engine ice coolant & the difference is significant in heat reduction (30 degrees less) . I also swapped the stock chain with a new D.I.D Gold X-Ring one 👍

[@mariabutler3356]

Nice video and great explanation. I picked up the previous model (2009) and love it. I do miss the ABS on mine and traction settings etc. In terms of torque delivery, how does the new cb1000r compare to the previous? Some say the 2008 version is "boring" and a bit dull, but I don't find any of that as mine power wheelies in 1st and 2nd. Never hit max km/h. Thanks bud!

[@forthcoming-d8694]

Greeting 🙂 you are a classy rider and this is 1 of the best reviews 👏. I Sincerely appreciate your review. Poland is beautiful and needs a visit 😍 God bless. I bought a brand new red one 3 weeks ago. Came with stock Dunlop D214 tires.

[@0to100Adventure]

Fateh :-D many Thanks and congrats on the new bike.

No traffic on these roads.

[@davidrcordeiro]

Great bike... my next one. What helmet are you using given the low wind noise at 160+ ?

[@0to100Adventure]

David Cordeiro schubert c3 pro really quite helmet, check it out!Thanks for watching. Cheers.

[@gussuppercut]

Wonderful review. Does it have a quick shifter ? If you had a choice between a street triple or the honda ?

[@0to100Adventure]

Many thanks! It does have quickshifter as optional extra. I have not tried the street triple. Thanks for watching.

[@egg250]

Great review 👍 Did u try the different riding modes? If yes, can compare the power delivery in each mode, pl.?

[@0to100Adventure]

egg250 no I did not get the chance. I was enjoying sports mode too much :-) Thanks for watching.

[@bigg16]

Damn it's nice going to be my next bike :))

[@0to100Adventure]

Garth Vader nice bike! Thanks for watching.

[@boomerhgt]

I thought that too until I test rode one today I found it dull compared to my Z1000 ...I was gutted I really wanted to like it

[@nzl5086]

I am soooo lost haha i like this bike but i also like the diavel and the Rnine t they all are superb machines and they are also sooo different... completely lost :D

[@0to100Adventure]

Nizar Lahlou all good machines, you need to try them test ride them and decide which one it will be. Have fun choosing!

[@andypaulawhite7442]

Hi. I've got a Crosstourer also. Have booked a test ride on cb1000. Would you use one for touring? I take the CT to Spain for 2500 mile tours, about 6-8hours aday. Would the Cb be a struggle on a tour. I'm keeping the CT. So it's not a choice between the two.Would Appreciate your advice . Thanks. Andy

[@0to100Adventure]

IMO the CT is a comfortable tourer that eats up the miles. With a touring screen you could push quite hard on the open road. The CB1000R is naked and would be more challenging for long distance. The seating position is also important, the CB1000r is more sporty whilst the CT is upright. If you owned both bikes I would definitely say the CT is the better choice. I would keep the CB1000r for maybe the od day trip here and there. Cheers

[@andypaulawhite7442]

0 to 100 Adventure My mates have Mt09 z1000 etc. I struggled to keep up on twisty stuff. me and the loaded upCT = 400kg. So ideally I'm looking for something lighter but still good for touring hence my question. I'll still take it out for a test tho and see how it feels. I think I will agree with you and it may be a bit small for a long tour. Thanks for your advice.

[@marvinranido9918]

my brother this is my dream bike how many year until now i cant achieve even honda CB650R becuase i want to be like you motovloger. please help me to achieve my dream thank you

[@alphacapo]

Why does it look like a video game when your riding?

[@0to100Adventure]

Hmm interesting, it might look like it but believe me it is the real deal, serious riding but always fun!

[@jaromor8808]

probably thanks to the video stabilization

[@roybatty-]

Can you delete the rear tire mudguard/plate holder?

[@0to100Adventure]

Roy Batty I did not deep dive into that detail, but I can almost assure that it would be possible. The best is to check with the dealer to be 100% sure.

[@johnbaker9483]

0 to 100 Adventure I just placed my order for this beast..Have to wait a week for it ...Trading in my old cb130.. not having it with a quickshifter

[@roybatty-]

Are they for sale in the US?

[@johnbaker9483]

Roy Batty ..Have a look on the honda USA website...

[@terryjohn]

it ruin the looks..

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

rapes z1000 now with 143whp not bhp..but needs gearing because the gears are very very long for a naked bike..2 gear 200km/h

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

It doesn't have 143hp at the wheel, you moron. Try 120hp.

[@conorpatrick3487]

At 21:43min the one in the pink top checked ya out..........Just a 360 at the roundabout and pull in for 'nickers off lets have a chat'.........Just tell her that your a company director who is new in town and no have no sat-nav on the new Honda......I'm rushing to a meeting now, but where will i get a bit of lunch at a good hotel.........But your details on her i-phone and lean in to tell her, "I'm ugly, but i got sexy money"...........Do this in a car an ya be locked up!...........

[@galihpa]

Please clean your bike before you put it in a video

[@0to100Adventure]

Indonesia yes sir

[@karlbratby4349]

Sorry but that is one ugly bike, you rode the 9T and it is a stunning looking bike, it may not have the inline four but its a real bikers bike, the Honda is just an engine with lots of technology in an ugly package...

[@0to100Adventure]

Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I like the looks of the 9T over the Honda. Had more fun with the Honda though, the engine for me is more enticing. Cheers and thanks for watching.

[@judechua8006]

I believe both the r9T and this cb1000r owns their own appeal. Obviously the bimmer offers classic beauty and teleports you back in time and this Honda offers futuristic looks that no bike can beat aesthetically. However, I'll take the Honda anytime to withstand the test of time.

[@judechua8006]

I wonder how does ride comfort of the 2 bikes compare when it comes to long distance travel though...

[@riffsontwowheels]

I rode the 9T. Engine was just OK. Vibes. I felt every little pebble and crack in the road. I like the CB. Style. More power. Smooth.

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

UGLY? MAN YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR EYES...RETRO-MODERN HAS MORE PERSONALITY THAN TRANSFORMERS ALL THE SAME...SHE LOOKS AMAZING...AND SHE PULLS 9T
