2012 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade Test

[@CycleCruza]

Keep the fireblade without the electronic rider aides bs I love this bike!

[@raj-cr4nl]

CycleCruza are you saying you'd rather not have aids?

[@josiahthibodeaux]

“SUBSCRIBE Today!”

[@cultistpriest1872]

Hey cycleCruza

[@Warthog71]

All these years later i just got a 2012 w/6k miles from a original owner. This bike still dominates!

[@sykeadelic]

I've had this exact bike for 3 months now, amazing handling!

[@TheJessefuji]

What have you got now?

[@themajesticbeast1497]

*I have the model of this.I leaned the bike and found out that it can lean pretty low.Thanks to the exhaust design.This bike will be mine one day.*

[@nickhill9480]

Awesome bike, no gadgets or fly by wire, great chassis, and cheaper than all the rest... and if you want something that handles well out of the crate, this is the bike...

[@markwinchester3005]

Exactly.

[@JADDEPRODUCTION]

There's something awesome about Hondas that apparenty a lot of people,riders/so called riders dont seem to get afetr all these years of Blade history..Hondas arent about shoulder ripping power man..Its about making the rider feel safe and enjoy the ride..Its about feedback,tons of feedback,its about intuitive handling and linear delivery..Thats Honda's heritage bitches!!!!!

[@Japstitube]

I'm loving it! Great to feel the buzz of biking again!

[@Terraceview]

Absolutely Ace review, you sir deserve a medal.

[@dstr1996]

I prefer Honda....Honda has something that other companies dont! I dont know.. I cant explain it If you have a Honda u know what I mean :P

[@boombaamboom5]

DSTR facts

[@piee93able]

HONDA JAPAN FOR LIFE👍😎

[@annafio1594]

That s so true!

[@YUGEBBQ]

I have had many brands, I agree Honda are the best built. Quality.

[@stuckinadazzee]

Just bought a black 12' cbr1000rr. Amazing motorcycle. So user friendly.

[@Starvin23]

Good quality review. Thank you.

[@dsofe4879]

This bike is just perfect.

[@timsmith8391]

Anytime on a fireblade is a good time

[@tonyblade1000]

I've got the 2011 and this new one certainly won't make me change it! The blade is the perfect road bike!

[@camilo19201920]

Dam brother, you can ride.

[@jasonwhelan5596]

There’s something about Honda that makes it special, it’s just a solid brand. You know exactly what you’re going to get.

[@lou30088]

I had an 08 model, it consumed a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Other than the oil consumption, I loved it !!!!!!!

[@davemiatke8264]

I agree totally. my next bike will be the ZX10R. on a track the BM & ZX would have the advantage. in the real world your local twisties the midrange of the Blade does make it an easy bike to ride. Ive got a 675R have trouble finding roads that you can ride that to its full potential. anyway who cares I think all the litre bikes are excellent. I would be happy to be given any of them. does'nt matter what you own, long as ya got ya arse on a bike !

[@KT-nl7rp]

Man, imagine, a V4 Fireblade with a full electronics package...would give BMW & Kawasaki a run for its money.

[@posvibration21]

Yeah!

[@JethroRose]

I've been waiting for the v4 fireblade since it was first "pictured" (i.e., CGI mock up) as an exclusive on the cover of MCN since 2006. Don't hold your breath.

[@karlhungus8946]

+J eL What advantages are offred by a V4 versus an inline 4? Does this provide for a power advantage, or is it just a weight-distribution/CG thing?

[@JethroRose]

Karl Hungus power delivery is smoother due to better engine primary balance. amount of power is much of a muchness disadvantage: packaging, 2 cylinder heads, basically more expensive to build

[@JethroRose]

Not really. The VFR800 has less power than the CBR600RR and in terms of torque for displacement makes less torque per CC as well (62nm for 599cc vs. 75nm for 782cc). vs the blade it isn't even close, the blade has 112nm for 999cc (for the 08-11)

[@cbrvench2483]

3:43 That line looks like a chunk of tire is about to rip off.

[@RudyVII7]

so whats your argument to the isle of TT where they use street bikes like this and you have the fireblade winning?

[@turbo311]

Even in 2016 I'm interested in this bike because it's such a good road bike compared to something the race bike the R1 is now. And they are very cheap to buy right now. Not popular, so if you want a new one dealers are selling them at cost to be rid of them.

[@be4unvme]

+turbo311 The new CBR1k aren't popular? what, why? Honda's are the "creme de la creme".

[@davemiatke8264]

true but the bmw or the zx does'nt have the midrange the blade has. took 1 for a testride the other day and they are a great bike. have a look at motorcycle USA street and track test, good review !

[@TheTabac72]

Perfect test. Good job.

[@2dL]

Fireblade is the nickname for the CBR1000RR!

[@RudyVII7]

sweeet looking forward to seeing it

[@carlosaquino3221]

My next toy what a beautyful machine!!!

[@arcticmsrock]

5:31 is a great shot!

[@seaviper2738]

I hear what you're saying. I started off on a CBR 600RR and there was a build quality to it that the Suzuki doesn't quite have. I just seem to feel more confident on Honda's. I've only ridden Honda & Suzuki tho. Some prick wrote my 2010 gixxer off and I've seen these 2012 blades going for around £7800 now (trade price). I'll probably end up going back to Honda.

[@vyol8ter100xs]

perfect. beautiful, gotta get one..

[@I-Need-Saving]

Also true. But that little edge the honda has when it comes to just opening up the throttle; last only a couple seconds. Then the bmw and zx10 fly by it after that. So the midrange power isn't really an advantage at all over the other bikes. In my opnion.

[@JimmyPtheman]

Its a fantastic motorcycle for the money. It is easy to ride, very reliable, and the handling is great...warning..the stock tires on the bike suck. Make sure they are warm before you push it or you WILL be high siding.

[@SpazTheGamer]

Is this good for beginners?

[@jackmccourt2648]

+SpaztheGamer Troll alert!

[@jackmccourt2648]

Yeah as soon as you turn the key it detects your experience level and if you aren't experienced enough it explodes instantly.

[@SpazTheGamer]

awesome stuff

[@kevinjohnson7891]

+Jack McCourt well you do have to put it into gear..lol.. check out TT Isle of Man....thats taking it to the limit >;-)

[@StreeBaller012]

+SpaztheGamer dude i sugest u should get like ninja 300 or like cbr250.

[@fabzrustrider9838]

Awesome motorcycle awesome review 👍🏾💯🇬🇧

[@johnharris7353]

You're one of my favorite riders! Luv BikeShow...are you in down under? I'm here in the states Missouri it sucks. I'm 63 luv the Fireblade but since I'm huge and like to carry a passenger ill stick with my lasts-forever '97 Cbr1100xx it's pretty fast too!

[@ballafasho332]

Why does it suck that you're in Missouri? That's some of the best road ways you'll find . How big are you also.. I'm 6'1 250 and looking at getting one of these. Plus I will have my girl on board at times

[@olutobii]

Horsepower isn't everything, the Fireblade boasts in handling and comfort, a rider who is comfortable is able to push his limits more and is therefore faster.

[@Islandsoundzz]

How about a video on the new 600RR

[@Jrevo420]

There is a repsol edition for 2013

[@Micidiale870]

Great video

[@c11umw]

Nice riding

[@muhammadzaidimzr1693]

Compare cbr 1000rr & BMW S1000rr, which bike very good?

[@IamAl0neFTW]

pure jewell....

[@ozmonaut1]

Unfortunately, here we are six years later and still no Honda V4 superbike, although it's rumoured that a RVF1000R is being released in 2019

[@DevRSVR]

And six years further into the future still and no V4 superbike. Honda are great but painfully slow at development. I only looked at this YT vid because I just bout a 2012 as a track bike. Looking forward to trying it out.

[@tonypiku5334]

Nice video + bike

[@maxmax155]

Exellent bike! somehow lost some desing styling, just a personal opinion, but always been a great bike.

[@kevinlambo4310]

I have the snub nose repsol 2010 fireblade and I love everything about it its a true road bike for fast Sunday blasts , the torque is sensational for everyday riding and handling is great yeah there's faster bikes out there with more electronics and more bhp however in the real world they can't touch the fireblade

[@markwinchester3005]

You nailed it. IN THE REAL WORLD.

[@joegeorge7868]

The best road superbike. Period. :)

[@MoodSwingZX]

Why there are brow calipers on some of those HRC 2012? There used to be black.p

[@caparzo2142]

5:32 superb throttle control :O

[@BKJP1998]

i agree with you. Its where 99% of riders spend their time; in the mid-range.

[@chaseonit]

Whay is the different fireblade and cbr1000rr? .

[@MonsieurTazGames]

never been a fan of the car fireable, had 3 of different ages, traded up and i now have an rd500 and a ducati 999 find both of them much more fun than the fire blade

[@AmilaUdayanga-jj2ib]

❤️❤️❤️

[@saophong98]

BEST

[@luislaurencio]

god damn the old man can REALLY ride

[@TheAuzzieGam3rs]

luis laurencio With age comes experience

[@abhijaysudharshan]

+Benana and wisdom

[@juicer404]

and erectile dysfunction

[@rabideva529]

juicer404 😂😂😂

[@m99.r]

I wish I could get on such a motorcycle But I'm from Iraq, Iraq, his condition is stable I love these motorcycles

[@smellyhippi]

Good review but that background music is loud and awful

[@Justwanthavefun_100]

Unfortunately no V4 on 25th Birthday fireblade

[@madhurajmusicismyheart]

Cbr 🔥🔥🔥🔥 always Honda make smooth engine riding comfortable is the main thing real star Honda 💯🥰

[@GT300KR]

Wow! Anthony Hopkins on a Fireblade!

[@imrandaredevil666]

what about the KTM RC8?

[@valmirmodestogouveiadesous7548]

Show. tenho uma.

[@zlyable]

true

[@KARSDAY]

I remember when the 900 came out and riders were crashing them left, right and centre !!

[@MrMrJaxer]

I love the snub nose.

[@drewngure]

honestly at 5,85'(174cm without shoes) and 150lbs(69kg) will I struggle with this bike? will I be tall enough?

[@Bullzmilk123]

i cant find a good review like this on the 2012 cbr600rr any have a link?

[@UBCSWraith]

Honda supersports in general are more road focused with more midrange punch and a more comfortable ride. Most supersports owners (myself included), won't ever take their bikes on the track. I don't need to make all my power up top, and if I did, I'd buy an R6 instead of my CBR600RR.

[@wot48320]

I afraid no complete redesign until the liter bike market picks up.

[@twofiveone68]

Wow have things changed...

[@meneerkimchi]

if they can make beautiful bike, they will sell more.. but not many people dream of buying Honda...

[@ukrbochka]

cool

[@pedroc6823]

The only thing I would like to see is a TFT screen. and maybe kill that ugly over weight exhaust but thats what the after market is for. I agree this bike doesn't need the fancy electronics. Maybe ABS would be my only choice.

[@karlhungus8946]

+Pedro “CrazyDiavelRider” C - I believe ABS is available on the CBR1000RR this year. As for display, I'd be happy with an analog tach and speedometer. A bike like this should move needles.

[@kevinjohnson7891]

+Karl Hungus I wrote off my first 2012 cbrrr1000 a minivan turned left and struck my left side..a mother later I bought the same bike but the old owner upgraded it and the engine command makes a big difference, both bike have ABS and it make a difference.. these bikes are coooooooool..John McPint TT Isle of Man will tell you

[@650hpreventon]

the abs adds 26lbs of weight under the seat. you will notice the extra weight

[@she6an777]

does this model burn oil ?

[@pryontosarker568]

Faisal sm no

[@jcsavage2160]

The bike is awesome, I own one but the stock tires suck.I replace with Michelin c3

[@EEEBA1]

I'm thinking about getting this bike. Are you still happy with your fireblade? Thank you

[@jcsavage2160]

I STILL LOVE MY BIKE!!

[@andrewford80]

Julius Savage I would live your bike too!

[@cicihenderson6568]

Hey big head

[@FirebladeGrowler]

Mate...get the Fireblade. I've couriered on modern 500/600 cc tourers & owned modern litre bikes. The difference between a modern sportsbike and a modern cruiser/tourer alone is massive in terms of capability. They'd make a 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 feel shite in comparison (no disrepect intended). You'll fall in love with the handling/power delivery of a modern sportsbike.

[@vector409]

i like the snub nose better

[@shaggy5194]

This one looks much much much Better than the bullshit new one

[@Turnipcre8tor89]

Perfect beginner bike for LAMS

[@MSVHYBRIDZ]

the better sports bike in the world.

[@MrJesadaphong]

สวยงามมากอยากได้อะ

[@SuperBoss16v]

Honda needs to do some major upgrades to compete with the bmw s1000rr and kawasaki zx10r all in the

[@ehsan83]

Thumbs up if you are watching this at the end of 2015 ! Nearly 4 years later and still no update to the bike !! Honda we are very disappointed. Do something !!!

[@MrKamechan]

There have been rumours of a Honda V4 litrebike for years now. It won't happen. (And the 2012 1000RR has heavier wheels than the 2011 model, I believe).

[@TheJfizzle11]

If I had a r3 2015 do you think I could handle this

[@karan379]

yeah man I'm also looking at 2012 cbr1000RR

[@nabilblack]

i own 2011 fireblade. easy to handle. you be fine if you know how tp ride

[@Obscurexxxx]

Atleast you have driven some sort of motorcycle. Some ppl have even started on Hayabusa and they are fine. So go for it!

[@MicaNy]

i prefer the front looks of the old cbr's

[@roksonable]

kinda different story since its 2 cilinder machine, and honda, kawasaki and bmw has 4 of them. but ktm is great bike in my opinion, if you have the money since its not that cheap. rather compare it to Ducati:)

[@RudyVII7]

To all the dudes talking crap about Honda. Is Kawasaki or Suzuki even in moto gp???

[@brillowpad1]

Damn sportbikes are so slim and naked now, I have a 07 ZX 10 and I feel like it has a bunch of fairings compared to new shit...

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

i dont know i f i like the new one better than this one... dreambike

[@M4rkmcc21]

Wheels are actually heavier according to Honda. Stronger but heavier

[@silviofontana5144]

2012-2016 is basically the same bike

[@ayowser01]

2008-2020 is pretty much all the same bike.

[@Armando-h7i]

I guess this is raw power no abs, no modes, no shit 😫

[@panagiwthsliakos]

best*

[@collateralgaminng09]

look who is winning isle of man pretty much every year .. Honda

[@Khalid_Bin_Waleed]

Dude why is ur bike outfit so tight?! Haha

[@jettero75]

I'm also looking other bike but Ducati Panigale is too expensive, Suzuki and Kawasaki Ninja I don't like their design and exhaust, so the only choice I think is CBR1000RA NEW 2014

[@bladesandstuff]

Yamaha R1...

[@HCL991]

Ducati 899 ...

[@mervjim]

jettero75 up

[@dnnswlvs]

but honda is still the king in isle of man TT

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Aprilia...FTW!!!!

[@Armando-h7i]

Fiablade

[@ForceArmy01]

Yamaha YZF R1 VS Honda CBR1000RR
