2015 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2 year & 10,000 mile update review

Having had my 2015 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade for two years and completed just over 10,000 miles I look back and reflect on my time with the bike and talk about my likes and dislikes. I also do a rough tot up of the ownership costs over the 2 years including servicing, fuel consumption and insurance.

[@clivewinters7479]

Great video. I just bought one, same year. I’m 71 years old. Honda, can’t go wrong

[@Szlejer]

It's hard to come by an honest and detailed review on this bike, thank you very much!

[@MiddleagedRider]

Thanks for watching

[@iLLtemperZ]

Late comment, but the best review I've seen by far just honest and simple and no nonsense

[@jordangraham9533]

Ok thanks for your time and help

[@MouneetMehta]

Very nice review. I loved the countryside roads you chose to ride on!

[@MiddleagedRider]

Thanks, I'm lucky I have some great roads out my way.

[@AnthonyHiggins84]

great vid love the cbr 1000rr never been on i have a 600cbr currently and i really want the 1000rr so this vid has put alot in to prospective thanks :)

[@MotoLopez1k]

I love my 2022 CBR1000RR! All the things you said I 💯 agree about this bike. Why some people choose to hate in it is way beyond me.

[@krisfireblade2773]

I own exactly the same bike. To be fair. I pretty much agree with everything you say. Pretty spot on review. Mines been the same. It can do anything.

[@MotoLopez1k]

I own the 2022 and agree with everything said. I’m weary about the day the electronics fail. But aside from that, this bike does everything well.

[@davidlazenby5442]

Great Video keep them coming especially with the crosstourer

[@MiddleagedRider]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed

[@shubr66]

Great review and looks a super bike

[@exsoldier2012]

hi did you ride fireblade just in sunny days or any weather condition?

[@HellfighterSi]

Great video. Actually considering selling my “new” bike and picking one of these up. Arguably peak Fireblade. Not all about peak power and it is more useable on the road than the latest models.

[@killakawi1]

See this is where I’m at also .. this gem model is way better as far road riding than the new gen cbr. Plus to me this is one of the best looking bikes even now!

[@ayowser01]

I did just this and I'm loving every minute of it. The downside about buying a ~10yr old bike is finding aftermarket parts.

[@clivewinters7479]

Great Video mate

[@stableslayers3958]

Cracking video I’ve the new one and it is sublime Best thing I’ve ever owned Sounds like yours is as good though tbf Keep up the informative vids 🤛🏼👍🏻

[@MiddleagedRider]

Thanks. I love the new one, must get a ride on one soon. Mind you it looks tiny in comparison especially frontal area!

[@stableslayers3958]

Middleaged Rider it is smaller by comparison but I’m 6’4’’ and no complaints. Try one. You’ll love it

[@MiddleagedRider]

I've tried one now and OMG I love it!!!

[@The333]

As a fellow Honda guy I was curious on your thoughts about Honda's new CB1000R (which uses a re-tuned 2006 FireBlade engine). I am considering it as my next Bike upgrade.

[@MiddleagedRider]

I rode one last summer and I thought it was epic. I love the neo-cafe styling myself although I know others don't. It's got a lovely riding position and handles very sweetly. Loads of power, more than enough for a naked ridden on the road. The bi-directional quickshifter is brilliant going down the box, but the one I rode was a bit jerky shifting up, but that was probably badly set up ignition cut out timings.

[@dr.jillalicecooper2587]

That bike sound in intro is a GSX-R 1000 with Racefit

[@crp7965]

Hi,like you, I have a Fireblade , mine is a 2014 model, I consider it a good buy and bike for me, can you please tell me where you got your SP Engineering exhaust from and if it is any good and suitable for the bike, thank you Colin

[@MiddleagedRider]

Direct from www.spengineering.co.uk/ I really liked it and thought it suited the bike. Have a look at my fitting video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH_OqIevZctmsLc

[@jordangraham9533]

Hi there mate I’ve got one does your right and Panel at the bottom keep coming on done if so what can I do to stop it thanks

[@MiddleagedRider]

No it didn't. never had any issues with any of the panels. Thanks for watching.

[@davidmurray9193]

What tyres are you using all year round currently using roadtech 's but not brilliant, (better than the horrible corsers) same model as yours and yours lol,

[@MiddleagedRider]

I run Bridgestone T31 on mine and really like them, but then I like the feel of Bridgestone tyres generally

[@alexmorgan3435]

A walk around would have been good.

[@MiddleagedRider]

There's one on my video of when I first bought the bike. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGSwp6porNh7q9U

[@jordangraham9533]

What oil do you use for it thanks

[@MiddleagedRider]

Whatever the dealer chuck in it. Standard semi synthetic Castrol according to the service bill!

[@jordangraham9533]

And where do you get your ram M from thanks

[@MiddleagedRider]

www.ram-mount.co.uk

[@terremoto..6809]

I feel bad my 2015 cbr1000rr only has little over 4k miles

[@greatdividingrange1785]

......a clean licence on a fireblade?

[@SzFJ]

I love everything about the bike - except the dash which is terrible to use and has no fuel gauge.

[@kalieburrows1427]

This would be my only true complaint

[@rulechange6329]

An authentic review, thanks

[@phycalia9755]

I got the same model got it new I put 48.000k on it in 2 years I've never had so many problems with a bike I loved Honda from second hand bikes I had bought but after this bike I would never buy another honda

[@MiddleagedRider]

Wow, sorry to hear of your troubles. I think you must've got unlucky. Average says that there will always be an exception to anything that is normally reliable. Not great when you're the exception. Thanks for watching

[@TokyoNinja1467]

phycalia got a 2014 not one problem with it, sorry to hear you have issues. Trying to sell it now snd let me tell you it is like trying to sell labelled bottles of HIV on dragons den. I am sick of flying back from work at 120mph i want to get an MT07 a solid usable city bike. I will pray for your Honda tonight.

[@kalieburrows1427]

What issue did you have??

[@jordangraham9533]

What’s the best tires for it?

[@jordangraham9533]

And what oil do you use for it?

[@MiddleagedRider]

How long is a piece of string??? I had Bridgestone S21 on mine and I really liked them. Others prefer a different brand. Tyres are all about personal taste and feel. I've got a video in the pipeline discussing this.

[@MiddleagedRider]

As for oil, whatever the standard stuff the Honda dealer put into it. In the time I had it, I never had to add any oil between services.

[@nshoopns]

Nice review 👍🏼

[@MsMicheal12345]

its had 3 services and the the !st 600 mile service cost £1900 quid ? 1900 quid ?more like £90 to £100 quid lol, brilliant video though

[@azhariqbal1212]

No walk around .......................
