I'M STILL A FAN! | Honda CBR1000RR *Ride Review*

This bike is just as good as it was when I rode the 2017 version of it. It's really a great all around machine with nice styling, decent ergonomics and enough power to keep you smiling for days! If I went back to Japanese bikes I would definitely pick myself up a CBR!

What’s your thoughts on the CBR1000RR?

[@madmike171]

Was always my dream bike...and then I bought a 2019 nearly 2 years ago (basically the same as you're riding, even has a race fit exhaust plus QS). Freaking love it, no regrets. So much fun to ride and the sound and looks turn so many heads all day long.

[@Desmo25]

Got a ‘17, still my favorite liter bike in terms of looks and handling. It’s also lighter than most and “looks” smaller. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s got lesser aftermarket parts. It’s harder to find certain “upgrades” compared to say an R1 or ZX10R.

[@Mr_EwTj]

Bro I just bought the bike you just test ride in the same city from the same flip my cycle on yadkin 😂

[@gw4717]

You guys must of never rode a 2020zx10r

[@ACEPACE4469]

I want one

[@ingaz6565]

One of the most if not THE most reliable liter bikes out there. In fact about 3 times less likely to have a malfunction compared to European (bmw, Ducati, etc) bikes. Love me a Honda.

[@Edwin6932]

Also, there are more parts and aftermarkets to support this fantastic bike I have owned since 2018. I have put 20,000 miles.

[@rdlsar15]

I have a 2015 CBR1000RR with almost 18,000 miles on it. I have not had one single problem with it. 100% reliable. Looks awesome, light and fast enough for me.

[@Edwin6932]

I have the 2018 CBR1000RR because of her looks, reliability, and comfort, in comparison with other 1000cc bikes. The only modifications that it has are the Power Commander V, Auto tuner,K&N air filter, Akropovic full exhaust, lever, and sliders, just in case. I got it brand new with zero miles in 2019, and it now has 20,000 miles and is PAID OFF :).

[@itsmeericb]

Oh wow nice! Definitely been putting some miles on her! 👍💪

[@peytonhibdon7659]

Shocked a 2017 doesn't have a quick shifter. The Translogic quickshifter transformed my 2012 10r.

[@DisturbingKreationzFireblade]

Great video mate. I have owned this bike since 2021.

[@adrake4877]

My first litre bike was a used 2014 cbr. I loved that bike so much and recently picked up a new 23 cbr1000rr. Still loving it and going to get it tuned soon.

[@alexluster895]

Dude, you’re not gonna believe that this but I literally bought the exact same bike from flip my cycle a little bit ago that you just did a demo on

[@itsmeericb]

Haha! No way! Nice! 👍 👍

[@Somerset976]

I love the body kit on the CBR 1000rr absolutely stunning

[@SirGalahadThePure]

Was looking for reviews of this bike and was surprised to see one in my home town. Wasn't sure where you were until you jumped on 295.

[@malrobles]

this is the most italian looking fireblade and i still prefer this look over the new one

[@itsmeericb]

It does look like a Panigale in the front lol

[@FearNoevil-o8d]

💯

[@MyNameIsTimIThink]

Something about a honda that just feels good man. No other way to say it really. A honda is going to hold you like a large attractive mother you didn't know you had

[@CarlosCastillo-ud6dl]

Was looking forward to the redesigned 600RR. I think Honda dropped the ball when releasing the same 2013 design for their 2024 lineup then increasing the price an extra $100 from the 2023 model.

[@itsmeericb]

Gotta love what manufacturers and brands will do for revenue.

[@RRFriction]

There is a black version it's stunning I'm not a fan of the front nose design Great bike and a dream bike for me the SP version

[@ToaRahkshi]

They redesigned the 600rr, but only are only selling it to Japan and Europe :( *Cries in American*

[@CBR4Hondo]

Underpowered even when tuned. Dated electronics, intrusive ABS, no QS stock etc.. But Honda reliability and super light for a 1000CC

[@itsmeericb]

Oh that interesting. Still underpowered when tuned?

[@zachroy2684]

Have you personal experience of a tuned SC77? Full exhaust, velocity stacks, air filter flashed ECU. It's not underpowered by any means lol

[@djtezlawson]

Buy the sp then, qs stock.. abs adjustable. And tuned most are around 185rwhp 215 crank.

[@714integra]

The 2023 model year has 10 more HP than previous model years. From 189hp crank to 199hp

[@its12gagebruh31]

There's no such thing as an underpowered liter bike

[@jamesfoley2658]

I have a older 2007 GSXR 600 and a 2022 aprilia Tuano 660 , but I think once I pay off my Tuano I’m may sell my GSXR and pick up a used CBR 1000, because I’ve never rode a 1000 and I’m ready .

[@Scott_Buchanan]

Nice bike for sure! Are you in Georgia? The roads and landscape look like GA lol

[@itsmeericb]

No up in North Carolina

[@Scott_Buchanan]

@@itsmeericb NC and GA are fairly similar. SC and AL are about the same too lol

[@nanotech2691]

I appreciate the review, thinking about getting a cbr1000 later this year and wanted to get some reviews on it before doing so. If I may ask, how the heck do you afford both an Aprilia and Ducati?

[@itsmeericb]

Get them used are search for good deals.

[@nanotech2691]

[@diorocks5858]

I had 2009 2015 and 2018. S1000 as well, CBR 1000RR best bike ever made its winning all the superbike and super stock. I blew my track times by a second over my S1. and my RRR is stock not set-up still has 180s on the back. 2024 not 2023. 24 complete different animal

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I never have, and never will, ride sport bikes. But if I did I would definitely go with Honda. Oh and btw I got nothing against them I just can’t stand the riding position. Awesome machines no doubt. Just aren’t for me. But I enjoy learning about and I admire all types of machines 👍. But I grew up on Honda 4 wheelers and Hondas just can’t be beat when it comes to quality and reliability.

[@birybenjamin3522]

Cbr are cool bikes, rrr are monstrious

[@zand89]

I don't get as why people say this bike is underpowered - I'm from europe as this bike has stock more power than the US versions. But, even I have the bike tuned and it's a beast. I tested a drag race against a R1 and RSV4 and the other 2 bikes are just slightly faster on a straight road. For the streets the blade is the perfect supersport bike if you have some nice twisites. Of course on the racetrack the sc82 fireblade or pani v4 and so on are better bikes

[@itsmeericb]

Yeah I’m not sure why people say that as well. The bikes we get in the states are restricted by all of the emissions regulations.

[@mr2dsp]

I have mine tuned by Paul. KCS ecu solution plus velocity stacks Its faster than the stock Triple R after the tune

[@itsmeericb]

Nice! Someone else said it still didn’t have power even after a tune. Like what? How? 😂

[@mr2dsp]

[@ApeZX_Assas10n]

I’m torn between this and the GSXR’s. Hard to find much info comparing the two.

[@itsmeericb]

Yeah it can be tough. I’d take the Honda although I’ve already owned a GSXR before.

[@ApeZX_Assas10n]

@@itsmeericb wow! I didn’t expect you to say that. If you don’t mind, why is that?

[@itsmeericb]

@@ApeZX_Assas10n Personally I like the style of the Honda and the display is way nicer. CBR’s are sleepers and I have seen some pretty nasty ones when they are done up right. GSXR’s are just so common but they are some reliable, strong running bikes.

[@vi_cbr1000ra]

The wind screen is not to dark can see through it, also very thin bike as well I can only imagine getting my hands on RRR

[@itsmeericb]

I can’t remember how dark it was. I typically don’t put dark screens on my bike bikes it’s hard to see out of them. I like lightly tinted screens.

[@DjChronokun]

I don't think I'd go for a bike that doesn't have a quick shifter and a fuel guage, those are just two baseline requirements for me personally, I really love the look and sound of the Fireblade, but if it doesn't have those things, I'd probably just get a ZX-10R instead

[@YoyoEnglish-oq9we]

Exact reason why I passed on it. Honda needs to get their 💩together, thats why nobody really riding them no more. They put all their tech in the fireblade as if everybody wants to spend that kinda cash.

[@zachroy2684]

It has something better. Average MPG and a fuel consumption read out. If you know the bike has a 4.3Gal tank and you've used 3.3 gallons and average 46 mpg then you know you have atleast 40 more miles until empty. Plus then it's below 1 gallon it tells you LOW on the dash and tells you your distance until empty. I'm telling you your not gonna care. But I get it maths is hards 😕

[@YoyoEnglish-oq9we]

Honda is like Gopro... They intentionally give you a barebones unit/product and make their money selling you accessories that the bike should have come with in the very beginning. Makes no sense why Honda would place a dongle/plug for a quickshifter but not provide you a quickshifter😆 But will sell you a quickshifter as an accessory. Madness. The fireblade is legendary though. @@zachroy2684

[@FearNoevil-o8d]

you can install a quick shifter duh 🙄 you not crispiest chip in duh bag

[@YoyoEnglish-oq9we]

You missed the entire point Duh 👆You spend 16+k on a bike that has less shit available then what the competition offers is just fkn stupid.@@FearNoevil-o8d

Hey man would you recommended to me buy this one new or the 2019 sp model ? I mean ,should I feel the difference between both? I drive already the sp and it’s just insane machine 🙏

They are both great bikes but I think the SP has all of the fancy upgrades. Really up to your wallet. lol

[@AlexFyMiami]

@@itsmeericb Thank you man 🙏🙏

[@novacounciloutsdrs4770]

People talking about power and tunes ..... I'm looking at a COMFORTABLE motorcycle as far as the seat with the HP to ride it. I recently sat on the 2024 with my feet flat. Im not even into the ecu thing or tuning a motorcycle etc etc. i dont plan on racing i just want a faster bike that has proof of longevity. Sure, i could rock a Ducati, but then theres MV Augusta that makes Ducati's look like regular bike. The cbr1000rr isnt that far in price from like a 2023 MV Augusta F3... I dont get why ppl want to ride the bikes from WSBK and MotoGP without the actual parts those teams are using. Like bro... Yall don't even wear gear.

[@itsmeericb]

Yeah I used to be all about tuning and power gains but now I don’t even care. I track my bikes but I am not racing so a stock bike on the track is good enough for me. I went with an MV Agusta F3 because it was different and more exclusive. Felt it was more special than my Panigale 1199. More people have Ducatis. The CBR is a nice bike and lots of people sleep on Honda. If I were to get one I would love to have a CBR1000 RRR. But after riding lots of bikes, owning liter bikes and 600’s I am actually happier with smaller bikes vs liter bikes. As people get older they start to realize, but all the younger guys are all about speed, power and clout. lol It is what it is.

[@stgraves260]

People do realize the Honda is the fastest bike on the road correct. I don’t know why people dog it.

[@rmv4646]

Honda has always been behind in power. Even the CBR900rr was a chunk of power below the zx9r. Then the 929 while others were making 1000s, then still the 954 while everyone else was making 1000s. I read an article where the program manager for the 900rr said "I will always shed weight before I add power." The very foundation of the idea behind the bike is to not really put power as a priority. I love the honda for the agile, reliable and predictable handling, but then we must accept the flaw in the foundation of that idea...it comes with less power.

[@richardcerritelli9657]

Pick your poison do you want reliability or do you want Power how does the Toyota Camry of sports bikes
