One of the best looking naked bikes on the market regardless of price, IMO.

[@andrewprice1189]

Wow, a bike that normally wouldn't be on most peoples radars but Honda have nailed it with this one! Reminds me of the original 94 speed triple. Great review & work as always! AU

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks Andrew!! 😊

[@deanharris9331]

I think that's probably the best looking bike out of the Honda range of machines.......although it's down to personal choice of course. You are definitely nailing these walk around vids Kate......absolutely great work. 💯👍😊

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

Id have to agree it is the best looking bike out. Also has a perfect engine for the streets

[@yashchirka4060]

Hi Kate, just wanted to let you know that this review made me decide to give this bike a testride...and I ended up purchasing the CB1000R. Awesome machine. Makes me feel like the dark knight. Your reviews are quality work, they are nice and calm and therefore good to understand for those who's native tongue isn't english.

[@UsernameKate]

Yesss! Go glad you tetanus ride one and got one! Awesome bikes aren't they! You literally feel like a Stealth rider on it!

[@yashchirka4060]

[@neerajsaxena]

This bike has killer looks and Honda's brand performance confidence. One of the best-looking bikes ever seen, I am in love with 2 wheeled monster. She is a lucky girl to have such a beautiful bike.

[@UsernameKate]

I wish it was mine! It was just a temporary loan 🥲

[@pauljai7151]

Very well presented, nice one Kate 👍 love the random ending

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks Paul!

[@nigeltankard6977]

what a stunning bike, looks and sounds like a real beast. A nice clear TFT with loads of options for adapting the user view. So I guess you have found a new job as a gate lady, so polite and helpful

[@UsernameKate]

If KZbin doesn't work out for me, at least I'll have a show reel for a gatekeeper 🤣

[@jameshutchins3396]

Another excellent walk-around and video with outtakes. What a sweetheart as keeper of the gate. I saw in the comments you caught the break thickness, not bad with so many interruptions. Again well done

[@UsernameKate]

You're always so kind in my comments James, I really do appreciate that! Even when I mess up 😬🤭

[@frowningfaun4528]

I bought the f900r last summer, the most noticeable thing, like this bike, is the exhaust. It just looks enormous. I much prefer a slender exhaust. I will say though, it is a nice looking motorcycle.

[@asatti]

this video certainly shows your growth Kate in being a full time KZbinr. keep it up

[@UsernameKate]

Thank you ❤️

[@yorkshireR9T]

I've had had mine since last July. You've just learnt me more about the bike and display than I knew. I'll play at the weekend and change the screen to black. I was never one for manuals 😀

[@UsernameKate]

Love that haha!! Glad I could be of assistance 😌

[@RawTopShot]

2:42 that blebby weld on the front top engine tube to mounting is a bit bluuugh, you'd think with Hondas high standard they'd have ground it smooth or at least flat before it got painted.

[@headrace4863]

Yep, liking this one… I’ve ridden a few cb1000r’s, really a great machine. As to if it’s ‘better’ than the 650 is a subjective call. No denying it’s a crackin’ looking thing though. Actually the design team have done a good job of getting this through to market, you can see how great this would look without the number plate/light hanger foojamaflip and the reflectors etc. All very solvable… great job, Kate. 👍👍

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks HeadRace! ❤️

[@rmskk003]

Superb Review, as always. 👏 This is the only review on the internet which is very detailed and all features highlighted👍 I got this CB Black Beauty and I love it!

I thought my TFT on the F900XR was good but that one on the Honda is on another level

I still prefer the BMWs screen you know! But I'd like more design choice on the BMWs for sure!

Thanks George!

[@bradleyalexander5821]

At about the 4th time you opened the gate, I truly busted out laughing. Very funny 😆. My Dear you might have just sold me on that magnificent motorbike. Have always wanted a naked liter, Honda of course is top-shelf. Always wanted to own a Honda too. Obviously you’re a gifted sales person. Cheers….👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎

[@FoxtrotOscar9]

Quality as usual Kate

[@ArthursMam]

It's a great bike husband loves his CB1000R. Rear shock is pants unfortunately, most CB owners end up changing them to the aftermarket ones. And although most people hate the rear hugger/numberplate holder, if you take it off you get absolutely plastered in the wet as the back end is so short, so it does its job. Looking forward to your riding vid.

[@johnhall4445]

Really fine demonstration of what it’s like to move the bike around and how it might fit each person! Thank you!

[@anthonyogara4323]

By far the best looking naked bike available. Sadly not offered in Australia, the previous model didn’t sell. I’d have one tomorrow if I could.

[@UsernameKate]

Not the first time I've heard this! C'mon Hondaaa! 😫

[@erwindenengelsen8144]

Really really really liking the looks of this bike... Offcourse everyone has different taste but i think this look is spot on. Curious how it rides... Only adjustment i would make is putting the number plate under the seat. Get rid of that plastic. But otherwise, stunning! Great presentation as well! Keep it up Kate 🐸

[@UsernameKate]

Thank you so much Erwin!

[@war3zuk211]

Bought mine end of 21...great fun to ride & tour on got 7.5k miles on it with 3 months riding....dump the can for a pipe, remove the plate hugger... still cant find decent extras for this even now..

Great walk round once again,, that’s a nice looking bike

Good blig Kate, shame the sound was a bit Quiet but just a matter to flick the volume up no buggy.

[@kruisr7449]

Absolutely beautiful bike. I find the black pipes under the engine remarkable. What I always notice about Japanese bikes: the compactness of the engines. They just know how to do that. On a GS it looks like goulash, on the Japanese it's a design element. Thanks for the video.

[@UsernameKate]

Thansk for the comment 😊👍🏻

Great job from HONDA, really good looking bike Nice presentation I enjoyed the details and the comments of your walk around interview, thank you very much .

[@UsernameKate]

Glad you enjoyed it Annie! 😊

[@ChrisMcEvoy72]

Great walk-around review. As a former Fireblade rider, I looked at these when I switched to a naked. Really love the single-sided swingarm and typical Honda quality, but found them a little soul-less when riding. Probably due to the usual Japanese in-line four. In the end, went for something with a bit of character - the Ducati Monster. Be interested to see what you think when riding it, particularly compared to the recent Suzuki GSX-S 1000 you rode.

[@UsernameKate]

I feel you Chris, inline fours do miss the 'spice' but suit riders i guess that enjoy smooth easy riding... and tbf the induction sounds good haha.

[@chrishart8548]

Picture quality is amazing. Looks like I'm there.

[@grast961]

Nice looking bike, still struggle with that huge silencer, the tft screen looks good with plenty of options.

[@GBMatthew07]

Lovely bike, lacks punch in the lower range (remap could sort) but still a great looking bike especially blacked out. Plus it's a Honda. Great video Kate you are very good at this.

[@UsernameKate]

i didn't find that, this thing felt like a rocketship no matter what rev range you was at, yeah the all black looks great

[@jfro5867]

No lack of punch at all. Goes like stink from no revs. I’ve got one and have had plenty of big engined bikes before to compare it against. (ZZR1400, Hayabusa). Fueling is superb too.

Being the happy owner of a KTM 1290 R Evo, I don’t fit in with the engine and how it feels but I have to admit the styling is amazing. Thanks ✌️

[@mikehigginbottom4627]

Great review Kate! 👏 I agree the matching accents on the engine and wheels are a nice design touch. However, i am not a big fan of the chunky exhaust. Looks awkard for my tastes. The TFT has some nice built-in features. Out takes at the end of the video made me laugh. Always watch your vids to the end!

Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoy the vlogs! 😊

[@KB-yj5xp]

I’ve put about 12,000 m on mine and I love it, looks better in real life, rides good, turns quick stops quick. People dog it saying it’s the slowest liter naked, but it’s still a fast motorcycle that will run forever. I would have went with an mt10 if it didn’t look like a dogs breakfast.

Love feedback from an actual owner of the bike! I agree, plenty fast enough!

"The Gatekeeper." Seriously, it's a great looking bike, and I generally don't like black 'everything,' but this is definitely a looker. Being a naked bike of sorts, how are the elements treating you on this one. Would you put a windscreen on it if you owned it?
