2018 Honda CB1000R | Visordown Launch Test

[@jamesd5343]

Definitely looks better than the last model in my eyes.

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

it looks 90% like hornet 900 with single sided exhaust....but when hornet put that retro modern style was bashed by retarded reporters...honda with hornet 900 was 20 years infront of all...if you see my hornet 900 how it looks you will understand...its 95% just like the cb1000r 2018

dream bike

[@DannyBBom]

It's a very beautiful bike. Definitely a very viable alternative to the BMW R Nine T.

[@samrit123in]

DannyBomBom Different segments. A 100 HP retro vs a 143 HP naked bike.

[@galaeron]

The rnine t is 110 HP, and it's not really a retro. Plus, the nine t puts out 116Nm of torque @6000 rpm vs the honda's 104@8250 RPM. Considering they're both nakeds I wonder how much advantage the 33 hp advantage will give the Honda, if any at all. It's also only 9 kg lighter than the Nine t. All that being said, the honda's chassis is probably sportier, with quicker turn-in, but I don't think they're different segments at all.

[@AprendizDeLoQueToca]

Been liking the nine T for a while. Just saw this cb 1000 and it's now my pick

[@ewwmin3m]

finally a full review on this bike.

[@petertakov]

So this is how Stephen Hawking reviewing a motorcycle would have sounded like - exciting! Reply

[@tammyforbes2101]

I now 40 years of age and this or a GSXS1000 will be my next bike I used to love sport bikes but now that I’m older I still want the power but not the uncomfortable ride and one of these fits my needs perfect. I don’t do long rides mostly just 50-100 miles at a time so one of these will be perfect probably still as fast as a super sport 600cc sport bike woth decent handling.

[@MrKitty-zv3dl]

I'm 53 and riding a naked Kawasaki Z1000 instead of the ZX10R, like you I wanted a more upright position.

[@AridersLifeYT]

My God it's amazing.

[@TheTwinPost]

Gorgeous looking bike

[@tigerick7291]

Visordown reading out loud off a printout again.

[@dnzrdm]

and it's not even a good readout.

[@markshirley7639]

Retro ! Retro my arse, yet another poor effort from Honda. Shockingly poor at its best. Retro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@CBRboy1717]

It think the term I've mostly heard is neo-retro.

[@dirtragzzz]

My thoughts exactly!! I was about to make the same comment and I see you beat me to it!! He sounded like my GPS giving me directions...

[@hipsabad]

not to mention it's the same bland, inoffensive, cliched verbiage they always write--gaaaak, give us some truth

[@helloman1976]

The bike is beautiful but the exhaust is HIDEOUS! It's going to look amazing with an aftermarket exhaust. I do wish it was an inline triple though, but only for the sound!

[@macgeek2112]

This bike is everything I ever wanted my 2002 919 (Hornet 900) to be. Unfortunately, this bike approaches $13k in the US (2019 model) whereas my first year (in US) 2002 919 was taken home for under $8k. A test ride is still a must for me.

[@joelallo119]

Jody Z The 919 is one of my dream bikes. I always thought they were the coolest things. Glad Honda is getting back into the naked/Street fighter game.

[@Jay_Hall]

I have an 05 VMAX bought new and choose not to go with the 2nd Gen for a few reasons. But this bike really has me excited, much as my 05 VMAX did when I bought that. I need to see this bike in person!!

[@75619630]

Did you swap?

[@CBRboy1717]

I can't wait to test it. Right now my decision is on the MT-10, but who knows when I get on this thing...

[@250frederic]

You can't call a bike "retro" when people from the past would think it's an alien spaceship...

[@JojoCrazyCat]

I like the Honda CB 1100 The Honda CB1000 seems to me a bit more of a sport bike.

[@bozzy-101]

Visordown: Great filming and location spoiled by the guy reading off of a script sheet far too quickly! It comes across like the guy is rushing it because he’s nervous!

[@joeblow5316]

Straight line speed on the road is only useful if you're insecure about the size of your penis. This is a very appealing bike.

[@fivespeed3026]

Did I just hear you say that a 190 tire makes the bike have a longer wheelbase? Do you even know what “190” means?

[@The333]

2 questions - Would a 5'8" rider be comfortable on this bike? How are the factory installed heated grips (on the plus model)?

[@pramathewyayawar6934]

Finally a Honda bike that looks beautiful and evokes more emotion than its Ducati counterpart.

[@ianwalker4803]

What tyres would you change to then ?

[@Framesforgames]

The s21 are great tires, what are u talking about?

[@SClown86]

Great vid thank you

[@cliff19851985]

So did you guys ride the bike or just read a review?

[@joaosoares3719]

Are you going to review the 790 Duke?

[@visordown]

Yes, in the next week or so

[@joaosoares3719]

Nice! Could you mention how it handles low revs on a constant throttle? That seems to be an issue on most reviews...

[@ricardolourizela5961]

Yes, the fueling seems to be pretty shitty... Shame, really.

[@1990-t1j]

Great bike, dire video.

[@peterparis6918]

I never had a complaint of the S21 before It’s the first one I heard Anyone else’s?

[@drak3nlord]

Yeah, this is strange. I have those on my 600cc bike and they are different universe compared to the stock Dunlop tyres on my second bike, Z900 (i have zero confidence in oem Dunlops ! ) I wonder, which tyres could be better suited for bike like this ?? Supercorsas ? Im running S21 with slightly lower pressure and there is no problem with grinding footpegs. Cant imagine doing that on Z900..

[@tsa567]

I think it's something to do with differences in the off the shelf s21 and the ones that come OE. OE equipped tyres look the same but can be made from such different compounds of rubber that they are effectively a totally different tyre altogether. I have had s21s in the rain and the sun and they have been nothing but amazing

[@rubyroth]

will M I had them for a while in a hornet 900 and for road use have been spotless, the balance between performance and durability for me is a above anything else, I conmute with the Niner everyday in the winter and this tires had me through some nasty weather, and for the occasional blast in the twisties grip more than enough.

[@chr11sf]

Tom Ainscough As Tom says, may share the same name but oem versions of tyres can be very different...

[@samus4799]

There are 300 and 650 versions as well.

[@outquick]

Great review!!! That Honda looks mean! Only one thing, we run Bridgestone21’s at the Tail of the Dragon 🐉 🐉 that’s 318 turns in 11.6 miles Those tires are great!!!!! Especially for the price. GSX-S1000 & GSX-R1000R Use them

[@nicola.cammisa]

Pace of talk not engaging and the words cadence difficult to follow. It sounds almost like as if you could not be bothered to please your audience. I am not sure if it was a good video. I stopped after less than a minute into it, thinking I would waste the extra time writing this comment. Cheers

[@threethrushes]

Good review. Wish it was longer, and a bit more discussion of the bike, potential buyers, rivals, etc.

[@whiterazer1]

Does this bike not run on E10 fuel?! It has a 'forbidden' sign on the sticker, which can be seen at 3:16

[@samiam8779]

If the Bridgestone S21s aren't up for the job, what would you recommend as an upgrade given that I would only ride on public roads (no track days)?

[@adrianbedolla2458]

Sam I am Michelin power rs are definitely going to handle better

Greezy_Chef God it’s just GORGEOUS ... I’m a new rider tho.. going to buy a ktm390 Next week.. hopefully by the release I’ll be ready.. lol - depending on how long it takes....

[@cuzimaluzer777]

William ever considered a dual sport bike as your first bike?

[@AlexanderHonsVonEber]

Greezy_Chef I have. I do really like the upright/ naked bike design the most though.. the husq 701 looked appealing too.. I’m mostly going to be doing a lot of commuting.. so far after a few months with my lil bike I want to jump to a street triple, monster, R9T, or something similar to these~.... lately been asking for more advice. Haven’t received much., tho. What’s your opinion.. my commute is 1-1.5 hours each way by car.. it’s only 20 miles. Crazy.. San Fernando ca- Beverly Hills.. its a beautiful drive too. Might do some vlogging once I’m comfortable .

[@AlexanderHonsVonEber]

Oh forgot I also sat on a few Aprilia Dorsoduro’s & shivers.. I like the shiver styling a lot..

[@JojoCrazyCat]

Which brand do you yall like, the Honder or the Honda ? Yes, I am being a smart ass :)

[@nickprice3605]

No, the 1st "upgrade" would be to remove that stupid rear fender and fit a tail tidy

[@TheHelmetHookcom]

Cool! I like it but I hate the headlight. I think a small/shallow headlight like that makes the bike look "weak" I used to live 8 miles from Malaga and have been there hundreds of time :)

[@fitzanator436]

I test road one Engine awesome Suspension poor Throttle not nice For how much thay are no thanks

The bike is great but where are the personal emotions about it. Sound like a student uni course: informative, but boring ... 🤔

So ugly compared with market alternatives.

[@duncanfraser2390]

i hate the cafe racer look.
