2024 Honda Fireblade vs CBR600RR Review | Is one worth twice as much?

[@dashuntas.m4045]

The Blade is my dream bike but I’ll gladly settle for the 600, that under-seat exhaust is just sexy

[@Zx6rBlue]

You don't settle for a 600. You're doing that bike a disservice

[@bfarm44]

In as much as owning a Fireblade has always been something I’ve desired even with 40 years in the saddle I still don’t posses the skills to use all of it on a track and there are no roads to do that on sanely with traffic basically ignoring us as is. Price notwithstanding. The 600 I have run the beans out of on more than one occasion and that’s enough for me but to own a Fireblade still remains a passion for me.

[@bennettsbikesocial]

Great comment. The Fireblade is certainly a machine that only a handful in this world would ever get close to using all of. I think I used the expression "refined agression" in my write-up mainly to describe the potential for being too quick and too able for mortals to ride, but the electronics allow us to think we're within touching distance. If you ever do have a spin on one, do let us know/ Cheers, Michael

[@wl660]

@@ianclose123let’s hope you underplayed your skill levels or it will be YOLO (for a short time).

[@lonpfrb]

​@@bennettsbikesocialMichael I understand why the FireBlade must have electronics but the CBR 600RR still only makes 119 bhp and 50-odd ft/lbs so why does that 600 need electronics? My 2008 CBR 600RR with aftermarket Öhlins suspension and no slipper clutch is agile and easy to control, already. It wheelies at Portimao between turns 8 and 9 in second but drops the front before turn 9 so no wheelie control required!

[@bennettsbikesocial]

@@lonpfrb I'd encourage you to try them back-to-back. I don't know how you ride but 119bhp can still get you into trouble! 16 years of Honda-related development compared to your machine must have some effect on the bike. It's up to you to interpret if that's a good thing or not.

[@lonpfrb]

@@bennettsbikesocial Thanks Michael, and fair point. I checked the 07 : Max power 118 bhp Max torque 48.7 ft-lb So there's no significant difference at a high level to justify traction control. I suspect that 16 years of tyre development have probably made more difference to rider safety and enjoyment. Maybe not the OEM but the direct sales tyres for sure. I mostly ride on circuit so the closure of the Ron Haslam Race School makes a back to back test impossible. That did seem like Honda dropping Superbike support so this two bike launch seems to reverse that. I only hope that Honda go all in and support reopening the school again.

[@Blottski]

Just really happy to see Kawi and Honda keeping the sportbike/superbike inline-4 alive and well. I was personally hoping Suzuki would somehow make a new GSXR750 but I’ve given up on that dream. I ended up buying an RS660 in 2022 because I thought I’d tour a lot but wanted 90% of the feel of the 600cc class bikes I grew up loving. For me, I think I’d be interested in seeing what Honda does for a bit of a refresh off this bike in 2-3 years…maybe they’ll do a style refresh and bump a couple HP up. Something to consider I think.

[@Zx6rBlue]

Why would you want to see a refresh of a bike that is brand new? It has plenty of HP too, more than you'd ever need

[@Blottski]

@@Zx6rBlue Sportbikes lately haven’t really been following the norm but I think it’s always better to see what a “midcycle” refresh will look like especially when there are other machines on the way. My buying cycle isn’t to upgrade right this moment, hence the considering what a mid cycle refresh might look like.

[@timdavis6088]

The 600RR is twice the fun on a track for the average rider of today. Most people can't push 100% on the 600 let alone the Fireblade. Electronic control be damned they're too afraid of the throttle. If I could have a new 2024 600RR I'd request one without a slipper clutch and a mode that turns all electronics off. I'm old school. I still control the clutch and wheel speed manually. It's ingrained in decades of muscle memory and it's not going to change. Tell the camera bike to speed up a bit. The riders are struggling to ride so slow as their lines are all over the place. It's like following your elderly grandmother....lol.

[@PeteAnda]

600 as I have the skills to use it, the fastest lap I have ever done was on a 675. I don’t have the skills to max a Blade or the ego to pretend I do. Great review, thanks.

Still angers me and blows my mind they didn’t bring the new CBR600rr to the United States. I’m in the market for a new bike and if they had without a doubt, that’s what I would be getting. The Honda CBR600RR and the CBR1000RR are both getting a little long in the tooth here in the states with no updates in years. No doubt it’s hurt their sales of those bikes. 💯 with the cost of the RR-R I’m sure there aren’t a lot of buyers out there. Bums me because I’m a Honda fanboy and likely my next bike will be a Yamaha.

[@Jaibee27]

600s are easier to find peak torque and power mid turn for most corners in 2nd and 3rd gear. On a litre bike 3rd gears peak torque and power is too high for most corners so you are limited to 1st and 2nd gear mid corner. But 1st gear is very twitchy just like it is not recommended for beginners to do wheelies in 1st gear. The advanced electronics make litre bikes perform like 600s mid corner, so the 600s dont need the expensive electronics because they already handle like 600s and get more useful engine braking from the higher revs. You only need a 1000 to get ahead on the straight but realistically not many race tracks have straights long enough to be at 300km/h for very long. So you only need a litre bike to have an slight edge on accelleration in a straight line but 600s are still more fun throughout the entire curve. On the street 600s are way more fun banging through the gears whereas the 1000s on the street barely make it out of first gear. For half the price id definitely get a 600 but if 1000s were cheap i would get one just to flex on the supercars because everyone wants something more powerful than a porche or ferarri. Its something we can afford, pal. And screw everyone who encourages people not to ride sport bikes because naked bikes are more comfortable. They ruined the bike market.

[@patmartin4411]

@SystemAdministrator1 also, if you knew better, it takes much more skill to be fast on a liter than it does a 600, as liters are far more powerful, hence dangerous, especially on streets. If liters scare you, it's OK. Thet aren't for everyone. Stay in your lane

[@Jaibee27]

@@patmartin4411 Your comment is too vague that I am uncertain of the point you were making. At first I thought you were saying you had a superior understanding of the subtle intricate details which differentiate the supersport and superbike categories. But now I know you were just trying to flex by showing off telling people you ride a 1000 🤣. Thats one of the points I made in my comment. You also said you are an old man now which is kinda sad thinking of an old man flexing on a litre bike trying to look cool in front of kids and speaking the way you do. My 2016 r6 is probably more powerful than the litre bikes you rode in the 70s. But if you are as cool as you say you are, I wont argue with that. Not many people in this world have that kind of experience unless they race professionally or spend a fortune on track days. So if you are at that level I respect you.

[@MalinduWDon]

The reason i bought my 05 600rr was it was the only bike that had a fuel gauge and it was like that for a long time. Seems dumb for them to not put it in the new model. Given how much electronics its already got.

[@peterrichardson9248]

I sold my CBR600RR for a Fireblade way back in 2006 and regretted it. The Fireblade was just so fast and had so much grunt it scared me witless on French roads. Such a weapon but the power was too accessible to be safe on the road.

[@adderhoney]

600cc would be enough for me on UK roads, I reckon.

[@paul-ku]

600 on roads? grunt and torque begins after 10k rpm? Have cbr650, it is way better on roads.

[@adderhoney]

@@paul-ku Good comment. I already have a CBR650F and a CB750 Hornet. I want a CBR600RR just for fun days when I want more top end excitement. The Fireblade will do about 110 mph in 1st gear, so although it is a tremendous machine, the fact that I couldn't rev it out in any gear on the road is a bit of a deal breaker for me... I'm not really interested in jail time, a big fine, losing my licence, re-test when I get my licence back, then sky high insurance for the next 5 years, lol. My CBR650F will do about 59 mph in 1st gear, so I can rev it out in the 1st two gears and give it some in 3rd if I'm feeling a bit naughty, without being seriously illegal. I think that the CBR600RR would be similar to this, just with a higher red line, and quite a bit quicker to accelerate. What do you think?

I ride a k5 Gsxr 1000, it’s a wonderful road bike, I don’t ride really aggressively and rarely rev it over 8 grand (it’s a classic you know 😊) because it’s silly speed time then , that 600 looks fantastic and so is the price!!!, but then I look at a used Ducati 1299s and think mmmm🤔 if the fireblade 1000 was a lot cheaper I’d go for that, as long as you show restraint on the road which I do, i know I’m old school and love my k5 because there’s zero rider aids and with an actual throttle cable I can (feel the bike).

I remember years back I was loaned a CBR 600 while my bike was in having work done I was riding a GSX11 and riding away on the CBR it did not feel like half the size. It went really really well until...I went to overtake on the motorway and opened the throttle in top gear. The GSX11 would just surge forward but the CBR... Nothing happened!! Took a couple of down changes and then took off like a rocket. That's the only way you could tell the size of the engine. Fantastic bike in my opinion

@@mattbikes46 The electronics on both are a real step forwards. The Fireblade''s gear ratios and twin throttle bodies make a big difference, while the 600 is a gem to ride. It'll be interesting to see how they compare on the roads, and where we're tring to compare apples and pears, the answer really is - what would you want to do with them? As with an earlier response, the Fireblade has the potential to make you look and feel incredible but it, like any sportsbike, should be ridden by those with experience (my pet hate when I see Lamborghini's, Porsche's and Ferrari's being driven by rich kids with no idea how to handle the power).

Only £10,450 in the UK, what country for 18,000 euros?

All these ride mode and levels of TC and all that for the street you'd literally set it and forgot it. And not. Constantly be changing through them

Would it hurt Honda to make a bike that would fit a normal guy? 6 plus feet tall. Seems they’re all made for jocks clocking in at 5.4👍🏻

[@patmartin4411]

Goodness man. Honda makes a slew of motorcycles, as do most manufacturers. Check their websites, they got stuff for everyone

Go adventure...Im 6'6 and will go for Honda Africa Twin.I have 07 GSXR and thats time when manufacturers went midget bikes.I would like someone make supersport in size of bikes from 90s to mid 2000s but hell no...

[@GearShifter925]

BOTH looks SO SIMILAR....!!!! 😅😅😅 At quick first glance...one wouldn't recognise which is 600cc and which is 1000cc HONDA...!!!!! HONDA should upgrade their Bike's looks and designs plus Colours schemes too .😊

[@opatechnus]

just why 600RR is sooo heavy?

[@jettsetter7]

Why the hell did they get ride of the best looking part of the 600? That being the undertail exhaust?! The sole reason I have a 2022 cbr600rr is because of the undertail exhaust. Then I added an akrapovic and god… sounds incredible and looks incredible

[@ST-kq9py]

They didn’t, the 600 still has it…

[@liv0003]

the 600 still has it and it looks horrible, luckily the 1000 doesn't have the exhaust under the tail because in my opinion it looks really bad and I've never liked it not even in old bikes when during a certain period of time almost all of them had the exhaust under the tail

[@jettsetter7]

@@liv0003 Lol bro no, I respect your opinion because we all have one, but you’re definitely in the minority there. With the correct undertail exhaust, it looks 10X better. Makes the bike look like a fighter jet with the rear exhaust nozzles. My profile bike is my 2022 with an Akrapovic. The aesthetic look is better than any side mounted exhaust 😎

Kawasaki ninja for me. Australia Honda are far too greedy $30k 600 and $55k is being ripped off in my opinion ($3000 extra i bought both zx4rr zx6r in 40th anniversary) i like the Honda AT THE PRICE EVERYONE ELSE PAYS (NOT AUSTRALIA)
