When they get what they have asked in the previous generation, they start asking for that what they had in previous generation. Stop complaining, this is the best super bike available today. 230kmh in second gear, long gearing is awesome, meaning top speed will be out of this world. 340 at least.
@dungeon50284 жыл бұрын
Top speed is not really what youre looking for on a bike but the longer gearing should give you some advantage on the track. And that is where it should be moved, on the Track, not on the road. I prefer a bike for the road, so I would go with the 2017 model but I cant complain because the older models are now way cheaper because of the mighty 2020 Fireblade....

It's not a superior than other japanse superbikes by any means. It's completely gutless down low and the power up in the top end doesn't feel as peaky as zx10r or gsxr or r1. I truly believe the older model was better. it was smooth and easy to ride on the track and great street bike too. But this one feels like 600cc you must to go over 7k rpm to feel anyhing. Also i did faster lap times on the new r1m than the new cbr1000rr-r sp. Don't going to lie i kinda didn't like this bike. Shame i was very hyped for this bike. It seems like honda doesn't know how to balance HP with usability like other japanse brands and specially not as europeans.

No boost, no direct injection, no ultra lightweight, no high tech at all and still a massive price hike. Can someone please explain why you wouldn't just spend a third of the money on an older S1000rr? Or even an older blade, cam it and put sticky tyres on it?

The SP is the track weapon. The base version is for the people who never track it, but rather want the fastest Honda/bike-on-their-block. The base model doesn’t need a quick shifter for that reason, but even more so because it hits 100 MPH in first gear. Quick shifters work best at certain RPM ranges(typically high in the rev range). See where this is going? I know this is all opinion, but I think it’s pretty clear that a bike that doesn’t even need to shift is being slammed for not having a quick shifter on the base model which is almost exclusively purchased by street riders.

It will be interesting to see if Ducati can break into the top 5 with their improvements. Don't forget that the 2017-2019 CBR1000RR SP was running some of the fastest laps at different tracks vs. other superbikes in reviews. Simply because it is the fastest 600. It can carry so much more speed in corners. Now with it improved in every way and still has that 600 cornering ability it is going to be tough to beat. But you are leaving out one bike that has turned laps faster than the R1 is the GSXR1000R.
