2017 Honda CBR1000RR SP Review of Specs + Start-Up | CBR Sport Bike / Motorcycle Walk-Around | HRC

[@MichaelDavis-dy3ix]

I just bought one. Best literbike ever made for the road. Hands Down. I will put out an owners video in a few months. I test rode the GSXR, R1, 959 and this. Honda won for me hands down.

[@agentmartagentmart9122]

Michael Davis waiting for the your review . I’m considering picking up this bike.

[@pabloperez4063]

I am also considering to buy this model 2017....i have 2 question for you 2 both... A) the handlbear posición...is it more lean forward and downward than in the versión 2010 >2016? B) what about VIBRATIONS? I heard in the 10>16 model they are much disturbing..... I appreciate your opinión I love this bike...but in spain,2nd hand, is 15000e, versus 8500 e versión 2010...and i want to know if the difference iS worth while

[@MRBIGCOHONEZ]

I didn't like it at first. It grew on me, though. If I can find one at the end of year clearance for a little cheaper I'll jump on it.

[@stavrostsantoulis421]

Can you put a passenger seat on this?

[@ImJohnConstantine]

Love this moto and review, (as the bike is virtually the same for '18 & '19). One important item that was NOT pointed out when quoting HP specs, this moto is ECM muted by 15-17hp due to noise restrictions entering the USA. So, it is NOT 189HP until you send out the ECM to be flashed back to what comes standard in Europe...

[@mcprocrastinator7921]

This is def nicer looking than the last one, but yes.

[@normlizer]

My dream bike thanks for the upload.

[@HondaProKevin]

+normlizer You have good taste in dream bikes but I may be a bit biased haha. No problem at all bud, thanks for saying "thanks" as it's a rarity on KZbin with the vast majority of negative so thank you...

[@normlizer]

I do love the RC213V-S but even in my wildest dreams i could never afford one of them. :( I def could use a upgrade in bikes as my 2000 RC51 is getting a little old and outdated campared to these new bikes.

[@llerradish]

Thanks for the information. It's October 2020 right now and I'm looking for a used CBR1000RR I need to keep under $10k what do you recommend? 2017, 2018 or 2019 models?

[@hfr8343]

You get a Liter bike for under 10k used that joint is gonna be dogged out

[@llerradish]

[@llerradish]

@@hfr8343 2012, I know it's a older one. But I'm very happy with it. No ABS, No TC and that's really what I wanted. It's all stock except for the Akraprovic exhaust.

[@danielbrady3684]

Just baught one last month will be getting it beginning of april 2018 cant whait

[@HondaProKevin]

+Daniel Brady Heck yeah man! You've got a piece of history to hold onto! And one heck of a sexy bike, absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL!

[@duc9395]

At 5:10 you mention 3 levels of wheelie control and 9 levels of traction control. I thought wheelie control was tied into the traction in the 2017 and couldn't be adjusted separately? I thought this was one thing they rectified in the 2019, along with fixing the rear wheel lift as the ABS was too intrusive under heavy braking on the track? Cheers.

[@voertsek8404]

Are the motors run it , ready to race on purchase, or do you still need to run it in ?

[@STFURIDE]

Great detailed video, however i would have loved to see your ride it and hear the gears lol

[@najimh5348]

Is it possible, and available, to convert passenger seat, and pegs for this bike. Thanks

[@HondaProKevin]

+najim H Yup, it sure is. Thankfully Honda didn't make it too difficult just like the previous generation SP to throw passenger pegs and a seat on it.

[@SEEMERIDECOM]

Actually it's no that easy. The sub frame is weakened on the SP and the holes where you would normally mount the passenger pegs does not have any threading. You would need to tap the holes. The owners manual states in several places that you should not convert the bike to carry a passenger. I have a '17 SP and I also had a '14 SP. On the '14 Honda did basically the same thing. I swapped a stock sub frame from a '12 that was close in color, but was not weakened. I had no issues carrying my girlfriend. Not sure if I'm going to convert my '17 with a stock sub-frame swap, as for '17, none of the stock CBR's have a silver frame, only black. It's also nearly $500 for the stock sub-frame. Not a cheap date.

[@Sequel7]

HondaPro Kevin hey were the head lights led?

[@HondaProKevin]

+M J Yessir, all 2017 CBR1000RR models have LED headlights. You can see them in action at 7:08 . I meant to get up closer to them but forgot. You can also see the 2017 CBR1000RR SP headlights lit up on my review at - www.hondaprokevin.com/2017-cbr1000rr-sp-fireblade-review-changes-specs-sport-bike-cbr-motorcycle-news . Thanks for checking out the video and for posting up too.

[@S58PSHIFTING]

I wonder if this guy answers questions, if you do, can I get a regular CBR 1000rr with the SP1 parts? Or an SP1 Black?

[@hfr8343]

No you can't. Standard RR, SP 1 or SP 2

[@sebastiaooliveira5459]

does anybody know if Honda is going to sell this model with the repsol color?

[@HondaProKevin]

+Sebastião oliveira Sadly that's probably going to be a no no. For 2017 they definitely aren't as all colors have already been announced etc. It's definitely a possibility though if they build a 2018 CBR1000RR SP. The reason I don't think they will is because the Repsol CBR1000RR SP models in the past haven't sold as well as the years they built the SP in the HRC color scheme like this year. I'll have 2018 CBR information posted up over at www.HondaProKevin.com in the next couple of months before Honda technically releases it "officially"...

[@TheVilouboy]

"DUNLAP"?! Just messing with you brother, good video/buy

[@leonardgeorge1803]

Hi! Can I please you help me find from where you buy that engine black plastic cover??? Is looking awsome.... thank you for your time

[@jwoody8]

Can the quickshifter / auto blipper be 'turned' round into a race pattern ie 1 up - 5 down?

[@peterbojensen1]

yes it can. No problem :-)

[@collectionofdifferentvideo6239]

How much is the Horse power?

[@Abundance4LL]

Almost made this my first bike lol i prob would’ve roughed it up

[@YELDOOW]

2:13 "comes with an engine this year" lol did it not come with an engine last year?

[@parthasarathy5450]

What does the sp2 has extra

[@agentmartagentmart9122]

Did this bike come with pegs and they were removed or this how it comes ?

[@HondaProKevin]

The SP / SP2 versions of the CBR1000RR do not come with passenger pegs like the 'standard' CBR1000RR models. They also do not come with a passenger seat, just the cowl that replaces the passenger seat.

[@Sequel7]

The only mod I would do to this bike is shorty levers

[@p7272]

Can you please upload higher quality videos please. ;-)

[@HondaProKevin]

+p7272 Not sure if you're joking or being serious lol. If you're being serious, what would make them up to your standards as far as quality goes? I'm always up for constructive criticism ;)

[@p7272]

LOL!!! When I first saw the video I was only getting 360p, but now I'm seeing the good stuff. Must have been YT issue. Keep the good stuff coming. PEACE ;-))

[@HondaProKevin]

+p7272 lol ahhh, I gotcha. Sadly that's a big issue with KZbin as if you check out most videos within an hour of being uploaded they are usually capped at 360p. It should be available now though in 4K. Thanks man, appreciate that. As long as you guys continue to watch my boring lil walk-around videos I'll keep em coming haha. Thanks again for watching and for posting up kind words too!

[@gmund317]

Gorgeous.

[@TheVilouboy]

I love how no one has made an owner review of this bike. Apparently it isn't THAT amazing as folks said it is

[@HondaProKevin]

+TheVilouboy It's probably due to how limited the bike is and that there aren't a lot of owners out of that small percentage that will take the time to post a video. Honda built less than 600 SP and less than 100 SP2 models with most SP2 models being sent to race teams. I'm still in contact with the (1) SP I sold earlier this year and he's still in love with his. Hopefully we'll see some owners post up videos eventually.

[@gonzoradio278]

I have one and I love it.

[@TheVilouboy]

gonzoradio...Well sir I challenge you to post a video

[@bigbangzgaming4188]

Why are they so expensive

[@truckinglife424]

bigbangzGaming because people are paying for them. Just like cell phones have gone in price up to a $1,000 or more is the same with bikes, consumers are paying for the price tags so they keep increasing prices. You have bikes that are above $30,000. Ridiculous $$$ to be on two wheels.

[@Yourmaderdie]

You should be lucky its $19,990. Where I'm from this bike is about S$45,000 (US$37,000)

[@michaeljkasnter]

[@agentmartagentmart9122]

In a straight line but the ZX10r beats the R1. This SP beats the R1 on the track

[@MrSuperrajab]

it look gUUUd

[@naomikael1005]

Black matte looks better

[@HondaProKevin]

+nao mikael I think the vast majority agrees with you as the Matte Black 2017 CBR1000RR is leading in views and "likes" even against the limited edition SP version. I've gotta agree with you too. Normally if it's a Honda for me, it's got to be red but this matte black combo with red accents is dead sexy!

[@ImranPangilinan]

[@maxmaxington5873]

In my opinion the ugliest 1000. Nice wheels though.
