I been saying for years, people need to try the new superbike a and sports bikes before saying you don’t like them. Credit to MR Fish for going for a ride

[@alexwotherspoon5630]

After having my MT07 this last year I've realised that I really do prefer a sports bike. Love the MT but Honda make the best bikes I think 😉

[@Destide]

10hp difference is pretty much my whole bike haha

[@bexpoking1]

I really enjoyed your commentary and thoughts about the cbr1000rr. I recently purchased one and you were spot on about the bike's ability to be tame, for lack of a better word. Thx Fish

[@criticalhunter7855]

Another great review from Mr fish

[@stableslayers3958]

Great review. Brought one and love it. It is phenomenal 👍🏻

[@djbgatekeeper]

I must test ride one of these beasts! Thanks for a great review Mr Fish 👍

[@sandydennylives1392]

We have the same dimensions Monsieur Fish,so keep 'em coming.

[@stableslayers3958]

Superb review. I’m hooked and subscribed now I’ve got one. It’s amazing 😉

[@lynsmith1096]

Great review Mr Fish

[@frankmalone236]

You r a trip Mr fish. Enjoyed review

[@tonyjeeves7773]

I get what you are saying about missing a sports bike. I currently own a multistrada 1200 DVT. I went out in the SP on Wednesday and ordered the SP2 that day. I’ll keep my eye out for you at Box. 👍🏻

[@Edwin6932]

Good review and just to let you know the review was a deciding factor in buying my very own Fireblade CBR1000RR

[@samihasib]

Did you get MY2019 or MY2017 ?

[@gremlin2288]

Nice one I know what you mean one bike to another I had a tiger 1200 for the day big heavy bike feels like your sitting in it then back onto the street triple it felt tiny and like I was sitting on top of it strange feeling indeed......👍

[@paulmoggridge9431]

Do the indicators stay on when engine is running?

[@Mybwain]

You make me want to buy almost every bike you review. I've not got the money mind.

[@jeremybly]

Do you know how to turn traction control fully off?

[@roosky9260]

Heels stuck up your bootie hole - too much information 😂🙈 .Great review, great bike😎👍

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

I'm trying to decide between this and the Panigale 1299 please help

[@wereyouaking]

I'm on a VFR 800 at the moment. I'd love something with more poke that is still comfortable enough to ride on a daily basis. This seems like a surprisingly good choice.

[@Rdodo67]

go for it!; I had a vfr800- miss the sound and the great suspension but this fireblade is worth the change.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks Mr fish for the honest review, I was thinking of buying this bike coming from a SV650S so your thoughts on the bike helps me think the CBR1000RR is still a fantastic road bike, sorry, superbike for the road.

[@ronnilarsen3024]

If you havent tryed the 2015 bmw s1000rr, you should try it if you can. Compare these two bikes on low end pull and comfort. Im 6'2 and think the s1000rr was a beast.. Mine had full akrapovic and HP programing. Put down 196 HP on the weel. Thinking about boying a s1000rr again or this cbr. Love the looks of the cbr but im also like Cruise Control and the heated grips. And been thinking about tuning the s1000rr into a s1000r looks and bars better comfort but still the power of the s1000rr.

[@jeremybly]

I have the 2019. Every bike I get immediate full power and traction off.

[@rajindernijjer]

Why do you brake with 4 fingers?

[@rezneba101]

ARE YOU RIDING WITH YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON ALL THE TIME?!!

[@brianpreval5602]

sometimes it's nice to chill

[@lovenotfear-fp3gp]

I love bikes so much I wish I was smaller than 6'2 17stone so I could fit everything.ha! Even my africa twin my legs are tucked a bit and could do with some bar risers.. short guys it's not all bad!

[@MtnMoto]

I'm gonna have to borrow that reasoning for going faster. " Sorry officer, I was only going that fast to ease the weight on my wrists." 😂 Shiny Side Up brotha 👊✊👌

[@Mrfish2015]

Legitimate

[@PaddleDogC5]

I need one @ 71 soon.

[@brianpreval5602]

everyone wants to chill sometimes!

[@Crazy-Chicken-Media]

First!

[@johntheaccountant5594]

I love watching your reviews even though I wouldn't consider buying this motorbike as it is out of my budget. Looks beautiful but to a moron like me doesn't look much different to the CBR500R.

[@mythos000000025]

I think all the current cbr's share the same "dna" look, very minor differences between them

[@Z4nsh1n]

I bought this bike a few months back (chopped in my old CBR600F-ABS) and this is a totally different animal but in the same breath its very familiar! There are a lot of people saying "stay away from the Honda's due to box full of neutrals...but its an absolutely fab bike to ride and enjoy. Its lighter than my old bike and running cost is surprisingly good considering its a litre bike! More than enough bike for most and certainly enough for the British roads! If your thinking about getting this bike I would say go the extra and get the quick-shifter.. you won't be disappointed!

[@charilaospapadimitriou5629]

Could you please make a similar review and a direct comparison to an R1??? I really love these 2 bikes and i cant decide between the two of them. The engine of the R1 is phenomenal, but the looks and the smoothness of the honda suit me better.I really cannot pick one...

[@Cdog79]

Iordanis Kimpritis I haven’t ridden the 2017 CBR1000RR but I own a 2008 CBR1000RR and a 2015 R1. From my experience the comparison is pretty much what most reviews say, the Cbr just does everything so nice! It’s easy to ride and manoeuvre, the power delivery is so smooth and linear. It gives you confidence and you kinda feel at one with the bike. The R1 has that excitement factor from the cross plane engine and would be a track weapon, however as a rode bike it’s throttle is very snatchy initially and the clutch bites very late. I think my 2008 is a better road bike. I can only imagine the 2017 cbr would be even better.

[@christopheralonge7758]

The new R1 is super uncomfortable and has a super leaned over racy riding position. It's 25lbs heavier than the cbr 1000 . and I personally didn't like that crossplane motor. Go with the honda

[@charilaospapadimitriou5629]

@@christopheralonge7758 thank you very much for the response. You are a little late, I have already bought the r1. You are absolutely right, it is a pain in the ass the riding position. The motor is fine but the gearing can be improved. I think that the new blade is much worse road bike than the previous one.

[@christopheralonge7758]

@@charilaospapadimitriou5629 good info thank you. I had a 2018 R1. I didn't like it at all. Throttle wad too snatch. Just a difficult bike to enjoy

[@charilaospapadimitriou5629]

@@christopheralonge7758 you are absolutely right. I have bought the 2019 one. I do not mind the throtlle response, I do not like the too long first gear and and how weak is the motor at the low revs. It is like riding a two stroke. The bike is too rigid and stiff and the roads in Greece are really really bad. Riding comfort is close to zero and I usually wear wrist bands since my hands are having hard times. In any case, I do not regret it. It was my dream bike. A have a 2008 fazer so I do not use the r1 every day (hard to believe that anyone does...)

[@chillaxinmoto6185]

damn sexy bike

[@jimmyhopkins6031]

Try Daytona 650 seats and then sit on KTM 390 and then Honda you would know the difference

[@robbieracer3294]

Checked this out on Honda's site..that price tag, ouch! I wonder how many of these will sell for 18 grand lol. That is a serious amount for a japanese bike

[@Mrfish2015]

£15500 not 18 so less than the R1 and the GSXR

[@robbieracer3294]

No Sir, here in the colonies, it's 17-18 lol. Still cheaper than a stupid H2 hahaa

[@Clarkkent163]

Work isn't it? Say you earn £30,000 or $30,000 a year, yeah, you'll get taxed and have to pay for bills and shit, but really, you just have to wait maybe 2 or 3 years or so, not anything longer than that, then you'll probably get a pay rise or something, and even if you don't get a pay rise, you can after a couple years or so buy a honda cbr1000rr as you'll have the money for it. But see, the problem is though, it's not buying the bike that's the problem, but the insurance, road tax, services, ect but hey, at least 30k a year will be good though?

[@robbieracer3294]

@Somewhere over the 🌈 why, I already own a cbr900rr and a cbr600f4. I'd gladly take my 900 over any modern bike

[@robbieracer3294]

@@Clarkkent163 with all of the different varietys of bikes out now, I'd never pay over 8-9k for any motorcycle. Just aren't worth it to me as I still own my 96 cbr900rr and cbr600f4. The 900 in my opinion was Honda's last good sport bike. I mean the 929 and 954 were OK even though they only lasted a couple of years. The only modern fireblade i'd get is the 2012 red, white and blue anniversary edition as it's the anniversary of the 1993 900. And probably the 2012 cbr 600rr red and white(although it's not officially an anniversary)it is an homage to the red and white 92 or 93 600. But with all the different types of bikes on the market, anything over 10k is a waste. Especially where I live where we only get six months of ride time if we're lucky.

[@bigg16]

super bike...

[@Mrfish2015]

Only in racing terms on the road anything from 125 up in this style is a sport bike .. supersport is the 600cc class , but i get where you're coming from ;-)

[@bigg16]

lol cool enjoy the vids ;))

[@josephcagiano3055]

Sucks that the UK requires those ridiculously huge plates. Looks horrible😤. I think I’d refuse to register

[@Desertduleler_88]

I can't wait to belt shit out of mine when it arrives.

[@danielbrady3684]

In my country you whould be driving on the wrong side of th road Québec (canada)

[@cjsingh4070]

Daniel Brady the correct side of the road 👍🏽

[@captainaverage721]

The Queen should command all the colonials to ride on the correct side of the road👍😂

[@turtlebone]

Drinking contest... Take a drink every time Fish says, "sports bike" 🤣🐢☠️

[@cloggsy1971]

... I would shit my pants 😳😂😂😂

[@Mrfish2015]

Maybe i did

[@lgmediapcsalon9440]

1:57 3:58 21:43 I hear engine knock.

[@chrisretard7590]

I had it black. 98 year old woman caused crash. Had it nine month. It had 17,000 miles on the bike. 6th back tire still on it and second first. First owner. Title says 2 miles in my name. Fucking hauling it will do.

[@bigg16]

sport bikes are 600 cc just saying ;)

[@marvinhouse2580]

Did he say 1000cc its 649cc

[@Mrfish2015]

649?

[@Christian-xc9bh]

1998 Kawasaki ZX-9R Had a titanium can in 1998!

[@nicholasleong4325]

Matchstick middle of the road and the suspension of the bike hit u in the chin. 😆

[@jackwednesday]

Good review, I would love a blade but I'm too much of a pussy.

[@ChaseN194]

that poor bike. 46 in 6th gear.....well to be fair thats probably the only way to stay sane on a fireblade.

[@johnpaul1003]

you sound like salesmen for honda???

[@PaddleDogC5]

He said he wouldn't buy it
