2008 Honda CBR 1000RR | First Ride

[@650ib]

The CBR1000RR is a nice bike. It's silky smooth with linear power delivery. I enjoyed riding it.

[@ryanbell4952]

I’ve just picked up one of these, same year but all black. 15 minutes into the ride home from the dealership and I got pulled by the cops and given a ticket... it’s just so confidence inspiring. The steering dampener makes the front tire feel like it’s stuck to the road. It pulls in ANY gear

[@itsgiza]

Hey Chase, you should put some kind of rating on the screen and in the description, like: Speed: 8/10 Comfort: 9/10 Handling: 6/10 and for the beginners Beginner Friendly : 8.5/10 ride safe

[@chaseontwowheels]

My name is dontchaknow I like that idea. I'll have to figure something out.

[@thenefstar3994]

[@ridingwithjander5520]

[@cyclevlogger]

i have a 08 cbr, and it is very smooth. ranked the most smooth superbike and smoothest shifting as well. If you want to hear the sound of it more, check out my latest video

[@denbeere4277]

Still very smooth

[@Rhimos]

After doing ton of research the CBR1000RR was my choice of a "big boy" motorcycle. Upgraded to new one in 2013 and I can say it keeps it smoothness throughout the years. The Balanced weight in the CBR line is I got to say one of the best I've felt on any other bike.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Yeah, the Honda Fireblade is very SMOOTH! Telepathic handling. Feels light, carries it's weight low. It has an overall refined quality feel to it. I have a 2012. I love it. It inspires confidence. Peak HP numbers don't matter. The total riding experience is what is important, and Honda has got it down to a fine science. When you ride one, you know!

[@frozenf5682]

with few mods 182ks on rear wheel and it still rides like 600 i had many bikes and my only ''dream bike'' that i didn't ride is H2,H2R and i can 100% say that sc59 is in top 10 bikes ever made

[@Jason.cbr1000rr]

​@frozenf5682 always loved the sc59.. design was pretty futuristic but only for the fairing/body design. That small sleek tail holds up til today in looks, the 12' model looks even better and futuristic with its sharp sleep lines. Do you or anyone know if I can directly change the 08' fairings to the 12'? I heard and read they're plug and play. They're are conversion kits but again I read all you need are: headlights, ram/air ducts and the fairings itself. I want to convert my 08 to 12' but without the digital dash tho it is possible and you can even buy the hm one. Thanks

[@frozenf5682]

@@Jason.cbr1000rr i don't know i just love that look it looks like an evil Owl 😁

[@Jason.cbr1000rr]

@frozenf5682 it does and I think certain colour/schemes make this bike pop than others. Lovely bike and shape/design I loved it since I was a kid seeing people in groups ride and I remember seeing this bike in the "finding nemo" colour scheme lol. Gr8 excellent bike 🏍

[@cavaseno]

dude i know exactly how you were feeling. i had a 2013 cbr600rr and a 2014 r6, but when i got the 2014 1000rr less then a week ago i was blown away. its an unbelievable bike.

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

Hey Chase, was the bike smooth?

[@chaseontwowheels]

lessdeth69 just a little bit

[@maddog7771]

One of my favorite bikes that I’ve owned. So reliable, forgiving, sneaky fast, has midrange power unlike most inline 4 bikes, amazing handling and fantastic balance. It’ll eat miles wether on the highway or on the backroads. It’ll rip your face off acceleration wise up till about 170mph, getting from 170 to 186 is a bit slow cause it sacrificed top end power for usable midrange which imo makes it a great commuter bike. That is if you can actually handle a liter bike. I actually also found it to be plenty comfortable and have spent many hours on the saddle. I’ve ripped some gnarly corners on her at insane speeds and she did nothing but inspire confidence.

[@tsubarider13]

Does it burn oil? I'm looking at an 08 tomorrow but I'm reading everywhere that the 08 burns oil like crazy and I'm sceptical..

[@maddog7771]

@@tsubarider13 I avoided getting an 08. They had common problems with the piston rings failing hence burning oil. If they have proof that they got fixed then yeah go for it. Otherwise I’d personally avoid it. Unless you’re able to get a killer deal on it knowing you might need to replace the motor.

[@46ace]

Welcome to Honda.

[@bigg16]

True!!

[@KnightlyRide]

Glad you enjoyed the Honda, I have an older 2001 Honda CBR 929 and I can honestly say its as smooth at 30mph as it is at 140+

[@stugatz2664]

i just went from a 1999 cbr600F4 to a 2008 cbr1000rr the difference is insane! SOOOO much more power, and confidence inspiring handling! this thing just barks at you when you snap the throttle even a little bit! but you are right! its soooo smooth! and the power is simply mind numbing in comparison to a 600! I love it!!

[@vincentrood]

How is de riding position compared to the cbr600 f 2002. I rode it last year and liked the seat position, but i am afraid that the cbr 1000 rr is too extreme, and the handlebars too low

[@BoostedAP1]

I like the 08/09 and own a 08. Love the headlights like you said in the video. I didn't really care for the new ones when they switched back to lights looking similar to the 07 and earlier years. This bike does feel like a 600 but with the power of a one liter.

[@KK-px4hh]

Did you have that oil consumption issue with your bike? 2008-10 are notorious for their oil consumption. Should I go for those model years or avoid them.

[@BoostedAP1]

@KK I just sold mine last year. Been 7yrs or more and I had no issues. Oil was always full and the bike ran excellent all the time. Maybe its a hit or miss with them. Newer bikes always ride better. I would shop around a bit before deciding. Good luck.

[@JumpingBoy-uv5eb]

Great vid man. I own a 2015 Honda CBR 1000RR Special Edition Repsol, and it is butter smooth. I love this bike, it's mighty fine. Thanks for your great vids man, I love them.

[@samk2849]

[@partyplace15]

I believe Honda is the smoothest out the the Big 4. The rest are EXTREMELY close, but because it is a bit underpowered makes it that little bit smoother. I have had mine for 3 years, and it has broken down twice. Also, because it is underpowered, it is also reliable as hell. My favorite part about the CBR is the transmission. Like Chase, I LOOOOOVVEEE my smooth-ass transmission.

[@macflex22]

lol That's why I bought the 10' cbr1000rr cause of how smooth it shifts, your first impression was my exact first when I bought mine.

[@spacep0d]

LOL! How SMOOOOTH is it? Nice review Chase. I'm testing a 2012 CBR 1000RR in a few days, and I LOVE a smooth bike (suits my style). Can't wait. This review bodes well for that. The fact that it's small also bodes well for my shorty self and being comfortable with the rider triangle. The 2016 ZX-10R is hella smooth too...and so is the 2015+ BMW S1000RR. Love both those bikes. The R1 had an engine punch like Mike Tyson in Mode 1, but was better in modes 2 or 3. You're funny...'What the shit' and 'oh my sweet Jesus'. Love it. :D You're lucky you have a dealer who feeds ya bikes to ride! I gotta rely on other riders but thankfully there's a steady stream haha. Here in CA it's nigh impossible to get test-rides from dealers...except BMW is pretty good about it. Not a fan of that yellow and black, but the angry owl comparison is funny. I do like the look. I also dislike the way the tail looks. Looks like the bike was designed around 2007 but the tail looks like it came from a 1988 design team. Hondas seem to be renown for their plank-like seats. For 'liter' bikes...we Americans tend to 'd' our 't' sounds with some words. :) I enjoy the accents as always. :)
