[@GarryMcGovern]

F*** me, the way Bridewell went past you and stormed off in to the distance...... that was nuts!

[@davidsampson3537]

Had a giggle you nearly floored the tyre warmer man! Great review as ever.

[@insta360]

Honestly one of admin's favorite tracks 🔥Listen to that thing scream down the straight

[@maticcro5992]

13:35 Neeves almost KO-d that poor guy putting tyre warmers on 🤣🤣 great review as Always by MCN, bike is epic 🤩

[@IN_ZANE_]

[@stfu6397]

[@RichardHinks-c1h]

This whole video was such a huge step up, brilliant review, editing and have been watching for years, great work neevsy and the team at mcn.

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Much appreciated!

[@bosu1855]

I wish Honda success in WSBK

[@KyleMicena]

They need a V4! The competition is just better!

[@TheMeridian808]

I don't

[@shivamarya5225]

Kawasaki won the first race in australia

[@254muhsin]

I don't think so.. They are way behind other competitors..

[@MichałJankowski-e9l]

​@@KyleMicenai think same ....but Ducati V4 motor is much strong in WSBK

[@garyedmondson796]

Reviews like this are what make sports bikes still the ultimate buzz in the motorcycle world. Absolute weapon ,hats off to Honda for keeping the class alive and updated. Neeves reviews are always #1 , always look forward to his opinions .

[@afropovic]

I can appreciate other bikes and have ridden many types but even when someone else rides passed and I'm walking, the excitement a sports bike gives for me is unrivalled. Still got my K5 1000 in full Yoshi engine tune, but this has got my interest 😲

[@martinmilne1]

Great review yet again. No waffling just straight to the point info. Some bike! very temping

[@alesbastl7716]

So great to see the Blade being great again!!

[@brianpeterson9290]

Full lap was awesome! (And also just beautiful footage.) Hope you guys can do that more often.

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

That's the plan!

[@luisnunes5274]

I ordered mine today should be here by july ❤️ full spec sp

[@georgenestoridis3452]

We're so lucky to have Neevesy... that's all I wanted to say.

[@olis790]

Best looking superbike out there!

[@billthebutcher5784]

Neevesy is a gift to all 2 wheel kind. What a treasure. Cheers from across the pond.

[@gavra123]

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Much appreciated!

[@LambChopRides]

Fantastic Michael 👏👍

[@rafaellastracom6411]

All of the changes made are going to make this Blade the one to beat in the coming years. The icing on the cake is the aesthetic design, just gorgeous.

[@TheRealOmnissiah]

Glad to see the blade making a comeback

[@shaunstrange1617]

Thanks for bringing me along , felt like I was there !

[@georgeloveless6339]

Great production. I love seeing this type of video from you all. Keep them coming

[@jesse68569]

beautiful bike, the 600rr aswell

[@markemery6104]

I’m in love with the SP beautiful machine

[@TIMHARTTT]

I didn’t see Neevsy that excited for sometime and it shows how great the bike from his reaction, i think I wasn’t wrong about my choice for the next bike.

[@SanjeevKumar-vu7ug]

POV was mind blowing.

[@kimkristensen2816]

You hung on well with the big guys on the track. The satisfaction with the bike shines through.

[@dannyperfect9270]

Patronising

[@timjkiely]

neevsy brilliant review as all ways. fireblade a work of art . i have a 1997 model amazing bike

[@goranandersson5045]

Honda rider for 35 years A happy owner the Honda 2020 sp a magic bike . Expensiv but worth every buck.

[@stephenchapman8344]

Looks and sounds fantastic. Great to see Honda back in there. 👍

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

It sure is!

[@mangalisoxaba498]

Best review of the 2024 Fireblade as usual. Thank you Mike.

[@davidciesielski8251]

Thanks, I have lived long enough for honda not to be a joke.

[@jackmiller8851]

as a sad yamaha fan, I'm happy for you :(

[@gabri12ful]

Honda garbage. How many wins are even placing in the top three in wsbk

[@riderzinc]

@@gabri12fulyou probably ride a chinese moped

[@gabri12ful]

@@riderzinc Yeah! Proudly, with your mama on the back.

[@riderzinc]

@@gabri12ful You must be 5 years old lol

[@babyfknblu]

you've got the canepa style pov shot now!!! WOOOHOOO

[@YuliveesOrden]

Neeves should start doing audiobooks and just talk about specs of different bikes 😍 Cant wait for the video against the bmw and the ducati^^

[@wakajawaka44]

Only the SP version available in the UK? There was a time when bikers could afford a Fireblade. What did Ducati say a few weeks ago. “If you want a Ferrari you have to pay Ferrari prices”!!! Great review Michael, your enthusiasm for this new Blade shone through and made me want it even more! But I guess on reflection many bikes when fully specced command similar prices to the Fireblade SP these days.

[@paulbarclay4114]

difference is if you buy a "ferrari" or a ducati, the real cost is hidden-its the long term ownership, and the maintenance costs far surpass the original costs of ownership the honda the price is up front, with no long term costs except oil changes. no maintenance. no breakdowns. no issues whatsoever.

[@louiskirby4266]

Onya cobba , you've got the best 'but" in the business thanks Chief

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Thanks for watching

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Thanks Neevsy. Looking forward to it.

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

😀

[@ereinaldy20]

finally they make CBR have shorter gearing ratio

[@brucekendall52]

Looks and sounds a great bike to own now.Thanks.

[@61greybeard]

Great video Michael your smile enthusiasm said so much about the bike as well as the tech information. I like the new format with Joseph getting a speaking part 😊 great video 👍👍👍

[@Haxixe13]

best bike in the game

[@TomaszSkwarek83]

Welcome back Fireblade !!!

[@stubailey9433]

Had the 2009 model. Love a go on this one! Great review.

[@8sanvi8]

Great video! One of the best

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Death666wish]

Great work as always guys! Can't wait for the top dog shootout. And maybe the 600 shootout? Which would be more like a comparison since there's only two of them now lol

[@KyleMicena]

Honda need to go too a V4! They’re running back of the pack in WSBK, and they’re not even on the grid in domestic championships outside BSB. MotoAmerica or ASBK. Soichiro Honda would be shamed of the current state of Honda racing.

[@SSS-mp8th]

Wish Honda would make a naked version. They don't have anything to compete with things like my ZH2SE, Street Fighter V4's and the like. My first bike was CBR 600 F2 so I have a soft spot for them.

[@nickrider5220]

Neevesy always a legend, always a great summary......you were keeping McPint honest, then Tommy boy flew by and rapidly closed in on John 😮

[@calvinhall4878]

A good day was had here...

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Yh buddy

[@hellfire08]

Is America getting this bike and the new 600rr?

[@adderhoney]

Wow! I really want one of these. 😊

[@santinoshariffe2720]

awesome review as always

[@Red-74-]

Excellent vid neevesy, at last a honda that could be an mcn superbike group test champ.

[@stuwhite1969]

Best ever mcn review, so excited for the new blade! RIP to the R1 ( it's a crime)

[@alanssnackbardailyrelaxati8155]

Thanks to mcn and neevsey, masters of their craft.

[@samyb2834]

Brilliant video

[@hypermotardking]

Someone from the media department has been watching the Schaff videos as the track footage has up a level

[@IN_ZANE_]

Nice detailed review, thank you. Clearly some very extensive development with some cool new features like the split throttle bodies. Nice to finally see adjustable options for ABS settings added too. One thing not mentioned that has me curious, what's with Honda's unwavering reluctance to equip their top tier track focused bike with braided brake lines? Surely it's not a cost cutting measure. Given the price of the bike, the difference in cost to equip at factory is an insignificant percentage. Likewise the idea the bike is aimed at racing and most bikes will have the ABS removed etc. seems an unreasonable justification given all the other bits clearly aimed at the consumer level, such as revised ergos and electronic suspension.

[@blinking137]

Great review, thanks

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Thanks for watching!

[@bacboyz]

we need a V4

[@darwinLee81283]

Who will buy it?

[@gabri12ful]

People who buy Ducati and also buy every v4 bikes made.

[@lawrencecheung73]

For the quality of reporting this channel provides, I'm surprised you only have 339k subscribers. Just subscrbed. THANK YOU !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@vincentisaac9066]

I know 200BHP on the road now is much to much but but what would it be like to have as your happy day bike?

[@DrHakennase]

Damn the gearing looks good so far similar to my old 2001 Daytona when revved out.

[@gary9768]

Which did you find more comfortable for your size the 600 or the 1000?

[@Agent_954]

💙 the Fireblade and Honda!

[@johnpatton1826]

Thanks for that great test ride

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@amico1357]

can i have say to admin please show more the bikes when Michael speaks.thank you

[@marssnickers3067]

Great Review!

[@JimJuno]

Didn't want to go off-topic but I have to ask... That Jacket you're wearing on the interview. I've been looking but couldn't find it. Alpinestars SP-5 looked a little like it but that wasn't it. Do you mind telling me what it was? Cheers mate! 🤜 🤛

[@tomostinato2918]

I was thinking "Crikey, that looks quick", and then Tommy Bridewell flew past...

[@105-p4t]

Good morning MCN I was wondering if its possible if you could do another shoot out for 2024 of the liter bikes and supersports

[@seanc6754]

Man they made a ton of changes.. i hope its more competitive in wsbk

[@Dispariabooks]

Im pretty sure Honda is actually run by a Batman villain. They simultaneously make the world's most average cars and sensible motorcycles while also making the Blackbird and race bikes that melt your spleen. I've been diagnosed as bipolar, and I definitely see a kindred spirit in them 😅

[@lonpfrb]

On the European bike specialness point, it is important to recognise the build quality and reliability of the Honda. They are different, not better, so choose your preferences. I have both so speak from experience, not bias. Clearly this Fireblade is more than we will ever need up to Superstock racing..

[@tyboynton2173]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Wish we saw these in MotoAmerica 😕

[@CaptainFeathersword]

One of the benefits of having longer gearbox ratios was that it provided an excuse to tell the police when they pulled you over....."Officer, I was going 120kph?...but I was still in 1st gear.....I'm quite sorry, I will try to be more careful with that now."

[@butlerseo2676]

im excited to see a comparison between the fireblades ,ape and duca.

[@Motor-1000]

It is almost impossible to get insurance for fireblade SP RRR . Why? non of insurer accept for a new one

[@keithwaller4545]

What a very pretty bike looks Fab. Let's hope it can win at super bike 👍

[@Velodictorian]

What’s the best of these 1000s as a track bike?

[@SeamusMcFitz-jz9if]

Does it come in righ-hand drive?

[@RajK-t1j]

Any idea when the 2024 model will hit the US market?

[@bobelable]

Hi Mike lovejoy here the face book warrior 😂 hope you're well , what are your views on the honda compared to the 2023 bmw m1000rr competition

[@MEKIT-b4w]

Neeves still can ride even reading googles!

[@jacobaptodd]

What black camo alpinestar jacket is that? Looks cool

[@MeowyBrigade]

What about the new E-Clutch thingy?

[@nas6580]

15:33 Bike screaming around the track Subtitles: "[Music]"

[@philippegouamba3544]

What was it like chasing Tommy Bridwell and John McGuinness?

[@DonAmos_stories]

The design looks like it would have been revolutionary in 2003!

[@everss02]

here me still using a 2007 fireblade for track lol

[@ZhuSeth]

That was the year EVERYONE had it. Such a good model

[@peterago1082]

great stuff

[@wakedaze1]

Would/could you ride it on the street?

[@jshanni2066]

Off topic, but can you guys please fix the link to the 2024 Moto Guzzi V85tt review by mike armitage that i can see the title of in a google search, but comes up "page not available" when you try to get to the article?

[@xorbe2]

It's posted now.

Your right on sir your master bike rider like me in CA tulary county kings county

FIREBLADE 👑👑👑

[@stephenmathews7020]

Great review!

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Thanks!

[@Krom1hell]

My Kawasaki has that same kind of throttle body.....And it's a hell lot of a difference between how you open then and how it sound and goes....

[@butlerseo2676]

please review r1m 2024

[@prof.2248]

Nice bike, but I would like to see new model Kawasaki ZX10 RR, c'mon Kawasaki. Everyone love Honda and Yamaha, but Kawasaki in WSBK is the most competitive from 10 years.
