We look at the handling, cornering, stability, engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes, steering geometry (rake and trail), seat height, styling, power and torque, lights, and more!
How is it for taller riders? We will let you know.

I wanted to say thank you for the thorough review that really captures the bikes personality. I picked one up last week because of your review.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy! Really glad it helped you make a decision 👍🏼👍🏼

[@climbhigh989]

@@makomadeira5799 I absolutely love it. Around 3000 miles so far. It's an incredible machine and easy to live with.

[@Mo-xx9gg]

Is it as good as I hope? I'm getting one...

I have the 2020 Honda CB1000R Plus and it really is a brilliant bike. I am not a good enough rider to maximise its abilities, but I love it regardless.

[@gromitsvids6079]

I'm delighted with my 2018 model. The new Black Edition looks very sharp though. The rear suspension could be better, but overall it's an excellent Jekyll-and-Hyde motorcycle. Definitely a keeper!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Awesome! Yes definitely!

[@gwynnromano5881]

I don’t care how old you are, if you’re a gear head, there’s never enough speed. :-) I’m a seasoned citizen and still love twisting the throttle when the opportunity arises. The thing to remember is always know your limitations.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Safety fast as they say!

[@CrusaderGeneral]

the naked bike is the best of both worlds: fun like a sport bike and comfy like a cruiser. And this new honda is def a great option in that category..

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes definitely 👍🏼

[@GT_Rider76]

I watched this review when it was recent and I just knew I had to get my hands on this black edition CB1000R. I could not get it 2 years ago because there weren't really available where I live so I decided to wait and so I did just that. Now, 2 years later I am happy to share that I finally got one and oh Boy, was the wait worth it. Thank you Guys for this fantastic video on this Gem of a Motorcycle.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Awesome to hear, enjoy your new ride 👍🏼

[@marshcoles6247]

I took one for a test ride a couple of weeks back, absolutely stunning machine. My ride home on my VFR800 after seemed like it was navigating through treacle. I'm 5'8" and had no issues with getting both feet almost flat and shunting it around. I'm hanging off until September to get one, when the plates go over to 72.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Awesome! Good luck with that 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ArtyYeo]

Just letting you guys know that your video is one of the contributing factors for my purchasing this bike. Besides my Fireblades, it's one of the best bikes I have ever bought. It fits my needs 90% of the time.

Right on! Good to hear bro!

[@mosgor]

In terms of design, the Honda CB1000R seems very accomplished. Cool bike! If I were a young man who practiced martial arts, and rode blistering fast motorcycles, the Black Edition would definitely have been high on my wish list. and it's a Honda, so you know it's of amazing quality. Anyway - great review, and great video!

[@makini1126]

@@gregory7720 Absolutely smitten! Every movement is almost telepathic. You think it, the bike reacts immediately. Only gripe is the location of the horn button. So infuriating riding around hooting like an absolute twat. I sold my 2017 GSX-S750 to get this but still have a 2017 V-Strom 650XT as a daily driver. Will take time to aclamatize. But the performance is out of this world! Especially seeing that I sold my GSX last August.

Only motorcycle I ever ride is an Honda grom. 2018 and 2023 grom I owned now. I love riding now. This is my dream bike and hopefully my first big bike.

[@eloyruizherrero8754]

Hello, I am also a veteran rider, I have been riding motorcycles for over 38 years, and among many of the motorcycles I have owned are, in order, the Honda CB 250, CB 500 and CB 900 HORNET. I am currently voluntarily retired from motorcycling, and have a Vespa from the 90s and a Honda Forza 350 to work with. I have seen many videos of motorcycles, but watching your video has encouraged me to return to the road, from what I have seen, the characteristics of the CB 1000 R are very similar to those of the CB 900 HORNET, but improved in power and in electronic aids, and reduced weight. Aesthetically it is brutal. At the end of July, at the Honda dealer in my city (Valencia, Spain), I had ordered an X ADV to replace my Forza 350 (scooter = scooter) that they were going to bring me in a few months. They had a beautiful red CB 1000 R in stock, but I didn't initially consider it to be my everyday bike. I went to the dealer this morning and asked for a test. They didn't have the CB 1000 R to test, but they did have the CB 650 R (I tried it the year it came out but there was a lot of delay in delivery) and I've driven about 40 miles on all kinds of roads, even in the city. A true delight, but for me it lacked the plus that the CB 900 HORNET gave me, so I have concluded that my everyday motorcycle is going to be the CB 1000 R. And the best: I am back on the road. Thank you very much for your way of informing, it is direct and pleasant. Keep going.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

OK that’s great! Glad the video helped 👍🏼

[@genxkevin]

Enjoyable video to watch on a wet Friday pm. Good to see that your thatch is in good nick, & the green paintwork is standing up to the weather we're having. Hadn't realised you were local to me - I often ride the roads around Uppingham, Harborough & that winding route up to Melton Mowbray. Can't wait for some sunshine so I can get out there on my new RE Conti GT 650. The CBR? Lovely - I had one of the originals (2009 plate) & it was all the bike you would need - fast, stylish, comfy - & with the cachet of a fireblade motor. This new one is a worthy replacement but, like many new bikes, I don't think I've seen a single one on the road which is a shame.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy! Yes some nice roads and locations in the area. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@stephanbyarlay9111]

I'm working with my local dealer to find a unit available from another dealer in Arizona, Nevada or Colorado. None available here in New Mexico. I really enjoyed your video! I've watched the factory video, which is exciting, but your video puts the bike in the hands of real riders! Don't know your name, sir, so I'll refer to you by your Ol' Man moniker: I suspect you and I are close to the same age, Ol' Man. It's fun to see another 'youngster' having fun twisting the grip!!
