How have I never seen your videos before? You're funny AND informative you've got a sub mate

[@ControlPro]

Haha - felt like I was back on the Isle of Man there. The Honda Fireblades have always been bloody good - got my first Blade back when the white Wayne Gardner originals came out with the dragonfly headlights. Since then had the Fireblade 919's, etc. Now but comfy cruising on a Goldwing with my wife but still appreciate the sports type of bikes (although can't get my knee on the deck anymore). Great vid mate and well done!

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks , goldwing is a tad more comfortable

[@sh-mufc]

Another great video. Seems like the differences only experts would notice. Certainly not me. Love the previous blade it's some machine. Ps you got a video on your helmet cam set up. Would be nice if you made one😉

[@ZDRETRUNX]

The 2019 one comes with the upgrade on the electronics and has the wheelie control separate from the traction control... in the real world and on roads rather than tracks how much difference does that actually make? Is it so big that its definitely better to buy the 2019 one over a 2018? I'm trying to decide on whether to go for a 2019 one with no extras or a 2018 with some really good extras like a full akrapovic etc...

[@llerradish]

I'm looking for one right now. I need power though, I'm going to try to keep up with Maxwrist here soon, I hope.

A very competent quality bike from Honda as anyone would expect but when I'm out I don't see many of this gen about.This sector is very competitive,there is so much choice now I'm just wondering if the Fireblade is now missing the 'X' factor ?.

[@lockheed08]

Aside from mine, I have only seen 2 or 3 others. It’s a great bike, especially for street riding, but it doesn’t really have any bragging rights, which is what sells. The good thing about that is that I have gotten lots of looks and even praise from other sport bike riders, as it’s quite a rare sight.

[@paultanton4307]

@@lockheed08 Plenty of historical Fireblades and GSXR's as you would expect,but as for the current crop there seems to be a few R1M's,Panigale V4'sZX10's, lately ive even seen a couple of Kwak H2's,perhaps I'm not looking hard enough.The cream of the crop for me was when I drooled over a RC213v-s,now that was special,but that's not to say theres anything wrong with the current Fireblade,just thought id see more of them.

WTF is going on with the massive chimney stack of an exhaust and could you tell me if you swapped it out for a bit of eye candy would it still pass the MOT?

[@paultanton4307]

All down to the Emission regs unfortunately,i don't own one but it must be possible to pass an MOT with an aftermarket Exhaust on as I cant see many sticking with the stock one.Mind you this generation Fireblade isn't 3 years old yet so none will have any need to have been tested.

I was about to sign papers on this bike yesterday but im torn between this one and the Ducati 959 Corse.

Ez pick, CBR1000rr. I had the same debate. Honda having more HP and being overall more reliable, it’s much safer bet. Not to say Ducati’s are know for heating issues. Do some research but I couldn’t be happier with my 13month old CBR1000rr

[@jacktaylor3287]

Considering the type of bike it is, I would say for an experienced rider it would eat them for breakfast so for a beginner you would be pushing it. If you like honda try the CB650R or if you really want a 1000cc bike the CB1000R is similar in engine but is noticeably less tuned!! So less likely become a stain on the road

[@j-way1809]

Your riding the bike all wrong. Pinch your knees to the tank. This well relief pressure from your wrist and save you from not have kids. Also use your core this helps as well.

[@votpavel]

my 06 looks are the best and traction/wheelie/abs/ride by wire instead of cable means more costly machine and more shit can break on it......you just cant beat undertail exhaust

I sold my 05 for a 15 SP, but I'm likely going to sell that and buy another 05-07 bike, I think they are so much better 👌🏽

One thing that amuses me in new bike reviews is people worrying about the tire grip. Then they hit the brakes and the bike wants to toss them down the road. If they stick like that under braking, cornering ain't gonna be an issue. Seems pretty impractical for me too, though I'm sure it'd be fun in small doses. You seemed to be having a blast even at 0 mph!

[@saddle8bag]

@@davidking258 I test it all the time. I just had a set of buns put on two days ago and they were worn to the edges before I got home. The only time I ever had an issue with new tires sticking was around Horseshoe at the Mid-Ohio racetrack. It's concrete and they slid a lot over that section the first few times around. Probably lack of heat in the tires more than anything. It's one of many myths in motorcycling. Probably had its roots in days gone by when mold release was used as part of the tire mfg process...and oil systems on motorcycles were still total loss to the rear tire.
