I’m going to say this again. As an owner of the RR, it’s not worth it. The bike is brilliant, more comfortable, has more power than you could feasibly use. I ride it to work, weekend rides and track days. It’s a phenomenal all round bike that’s very comfortable for a sports bike. Slap a titanium akra exhaust on it, flash the ECU (which you can do yourself) and you’ve got yourself nearly a 200hp bike (191BHP at the wheel) for 10k less. More comfortable, awesome looking. Unless you have the money and don’t give a shit and just want a trophy bike (and let’s be real, if that was you, you wouldn’t be here) then get the cheaper bike and live your best life my guy.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@cdubbrider3740 If you are a new rider and are also looking at anything 600cc and up, you're doing something wrong anyway. A 600cc Supersport is the second last thing you should be looking for as a beginner. 650cc is recommended if your "beginner" mind is mature enough. Anything higher powered is just dumb (for a beginner), because if you looked at any of the R7 videos in this channel you'd know that even that is pleeeenty for even experienced riders.

I personally loved the styling of the RR SP fireblade with the gold wheels and silver frame/swingarm over the current RR-R SP. A gorgeous machine and more capable than I could ever hope to be.

[@Pleskotritka]

Coming from European rider, I have to note it's comparison of two completely different generations of the bike with a huge leap between them. In Europe and other non-US markets the double-R is discontinued and there is a "plain" non-SP triple-R available in stead of double-R, which would be more fair comparison. Double-R is still the good old road-oriented sportsbike, while triple-R is an all new race-bred sportsbike with the namesake being the only similarity, hardly comparable in my opinion. That being said, I love all Fireblade content, old and new, so thanks for the vid :)

[@s.k.6823]

It’s because the SC77 does not meet the EU5 regulations and is not sold anymore. My wife has a 2017 with Akrapovic which is fantastic to ride and an awesome bike (we slapped braided brakelines in and some extras). The new SC82 meets EU5 regulations

[@acperak]

I recently went to a Honda dealership as I want to purchase the brand new CBR650R... I saw the RR and RR-R SP and damn, they're huge! The rear tire so sooo fat, I love the look of them, I can only imagine how crazy these machine are honestly!

I know with my type of riding I’m on the bike every weekend and wouldn’t make it out to track days much. I’m a weekend rider and bike night/cruise kinda guy. To me turning a bike that is out-the-box “ok” into a head turner is equally satisfying as having a track ready, the Mark Marquez experience Honda RRR SP

OC: For my money I'm going with the RR, a trailer, 5 sets of tires and as many track days as I can get. The RR delivers the power in a far more approachable manner and it's output is closer to ideal IMO. In the years that I've been riding, it seems like anything too far over 150bhp makes me more concerned about how the electro nannies are going to react if I go into the next corner too hard for its liking or what the fuel cut will be like if I give it too many beans on corner exit. I'd rather ride hard on a machine that has its handling and traction engineered into it rather than programmed.

This. I can push a 600cc to the max, 1000 is a different breed, needs a good track, and a fkin experienced rider. I'm not getting very much out of RSP, but I appreciate the tech and consider it to be the best 1000cc out there.

[@georgiaguardian4696]

IMO the SP is really the answer to Italian's super bikes that are more powerful, may look more aggressive but less reliable. At the end of the day, I will only ride any of the big four from Japan and Honda is the no 1 for me.

They are so different because they are two completely different bikes. The older generation is the SC77 and the new generation is the SC82. The new generation is a complete redesign of all components. The SC77 was offered in 2 SP models, SP-1 and SP-2. SP-1 like mine is the trackday variant and the SP-2 is a road homologated race bike. The new CBR1000RR-R is a different animal all together.

It’s messed up that the North American RSP (Fireblade) has 30hp locked up with electronic limiters. It has 186hp here in America but in Europe it’s has 215hp. Thankfully with a flash to the ECU you can unlock the full 215 hp. But when you pay $30,000 for a bike you should have access to the full power without having to flash it. On the bright side looking at the glass half full you can upgrade the air filter and exhaust then flash the bike and dyno tune it and basically unlock 45 to 50 more horsepower which is nuts. Because 186 hp is no joke that’s still a lot of power and to have an extra 50 hp waiting to be activated is just insane.

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

The CBR1000RR has been deemed as one of the more streetable 1000’s due to its light weight and ergonomics which aren’t as aggressive as most the other super sports. And let’s be honest, no one needs a 1000 on the street, nor will anyone like you and me ever come close to the capabilities of any liter bike. With BMW you also need to deal with maintenance costs. For someone stacking the miles on, the CBR1000RR is the objectively the best liter bike for the street…

[@oneonlyxram]

@sleeper.simulant7327 very logical thinking, and I agree. But I've ridden that sp and it is incredible and feels special to ride, the cbr 1000rr is fine and that's about it. So it depends on the riding experience you want.

I think it could be a good idea for Honda to have a cbr1000r “single R” that is even more relaxed ergonomically. And maybe tuned for more torque. Kinda like a sport tourer? I’ve also seen some concepts for a version that would be like an adventure sport bike. Kinda like the s1000xr

[@AntaresSQ01]

They do have a CB1000R that is basically what you're talking about, just has a bit of a retro styling, they also made a sporty looking variant up to 2017 but that was replaced by the retro look. The adventure touring option is also a thing, in the form of the NT1100 but whilst that's looking like it'll be a very similar chassis to the XR or the Tracer 9, it'll have the 1100cc africa twin engine which is frankly garbage. Typical of honda to chose the most boring and underpowered engine in their entire lineup to put in an otherwise interesting motorcycle...

[@toofastnobrakes]

@@AntaresSQ01 yeah I’m aware of the cb. It’s a cool bike but I’m looking for something with fairings. I’ve seen rendering of the sport tourer with the twin and the 1000 I4. Hopefully they make the right call once it’s official 🤷‍♂️

Here to put my BIG AGREE in here. I have a CBR650R I basically love because it's a "softer" way to get the 600CC screamer thrills (and still more than enough power) in a way more comfortable package (I have full hardbags all around!). I'd love that for an upgrade, a CBR1000R that's still full fairings & is basically just the regular sportsbike but with slightly more relaxed ergos, tuned suspension and ECU, and low exhaust. The low exhaust especially helps in order to mount full bags

[@toofastnobrakes]

@@BigDonkMongo Here I am a year later. Still wishing that was a thing. Closest thing we have to it right now is the ninja 1000 SX. And the new GSXS 1000 GT. Both really good options if that’s still what you’re looking for.

[@schneir5]

They have a 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa at the dealership five minutes from my house for $17k, that has like 200 miles on it. I would probably finance that if I had to have a super powerful sport bike. They don't even charge the exorbitant fees on that Busa, unlike pretty much everything else I've seen in that showroom. I know that the new Honda Fireblade is more technologically advanced and probably faster despite having less engine displacement than the Hayabusa, but the Busa is so much less expensive.

[@poiXquared]

In my country the RR got booted off in favor of the RSP. I always thought the RSP is the next gen CBR-1000RR. What's confusing is that Honda in my country does not have a decent middleweight option (CBR-650R/CBR-600RR) and only has the anemic CBR-500R and next up in the lineup is the RSP only three CBR models are available here with very huge gaps in performance; CBR 150R, CBR 500R, CBR 1000RR-R SP

@12:06 V-tech just kicked in yo!

[@judells5674]

OC: This isn't a fair comparison. The RR has two other "SP" models that you completely skipped. The SP1 and the SP2, both of which have similar features to the RR-R SP. These features include braking systems, suspension, weight, and even looks. Although I will say that the RR-R SP is the first bike that I have seen to completely stun most (if not all) non-Honda fans. So much so that even chaseontwowheels does not believe that the RSP should be a CBR :) No surprise here. Anyways, nice video though...

[@mathiashammar1]

yes i pointed that out also. Comparing a stock 2017 vs 2021 HRC "SP" special edition is very unfair...

[@patthonsirilim5739]

The rr and rr sp is not really that much different in terms of power the only difference is the suspension adjustment by hand or by electronics the brakes don’t work equally as good they just fade faster on the road there real no difference you only feel the difference on the track there only a 1kg weight difference between the 2 and it’s not unsprung or rotational mass.

[@jonathanedwards2983]

RC30, RC45, RC51…maybe it should have been the next iteration in that series.

[@rjari8578]

It need more R's to convince me to buy the bike

[@acespades2171]

When are we going to get a review on the 2022 Diavel 1260S?

[@chaseontwowheels]

Id love to get on one soon while we have a Rocket 3R Black in the shop.

[@kevinlugonzbi6005]

OC: honestly? I'm track prepping a 300-400 CC bike and having track days for a couple years.

[@mitchjames9350]

In Australia we only have the RSP model for $55k. Could you upgrade the RR to RSP specs?

[@zulfadhly7639]

My 650R feels like a childs toy with these bikes around

[@Treizez34]

Cycle World is now rumoring that an SP2 RR-R (R RRR R RR R R R R RR R R R) is now apparently in the works for 2022. Guess you now have another review coming in the future :)

[@dylanmalfatti8537]

OC: would take the fireblade in a heartbeat over the standard CBR. I love the looks of it and the sound is just absolutely awesome.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

They are both Fireblades

[@dylanmalfatti8537]

@@Daniel-dj7fh maybe in some places, but not here in America my dude

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@dylanmalfatti8537 the cbr1000rr is not a fireblade in the US? Yo someone has to smack the crap out of the people who sit in the naming departments over there.. Yamaha fz, Scion instead of just Toyota, and now the fireblade isn't a fireblade because it's missing an 'r' and "sp"

[@dylanmalfatti8537]

@@Daniel-dj7fh dude, you're telling me lol. Luckily Scion is gone now, so it's just Toyota, but yeah if you look on the Honda Powersports website here, it's just the "CBR1000RR" and the "CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP"

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@dylanmalfatti8537 lmao So, as far as I know Honda's 1000cc supersport bikes are called "cbr1000rr fireblade", fireblade more of a nickname. And currently on our German site, we have the cbr1000rr-r sp, like in the video. And a cbr1000rr-r, a non sp. Two models back there was also a normal and an sp version of both bikes. And how I understood the whole thing is, that the rr-r replaces the rr. There is also no basic cbr1000rr on the Honda website over here.

[@Noisemak3r_ke]

OC : chase... you gotta do a comparison between the R-SP and the M1000rr

[@MrNoNothingAtAll]

It sounds like vtec cam change. I love that in honda

[@dennisclark9544]

I'm kinda confused at why your base model over there in America Is different to our base model here in England. Our base looks identical to the SP, same bodywork with the wings built in, it still has the showa suspension and nissin brakes, compared to the ohlins and brembo parts of the SP. Our base has the titanium akropovic too. Over here, the bike hasn't sold very well, so you can get an SP registered in 2020, but brand new with zero miles, for the same price as a 2021 registered base model 👍🤠

[@marcustaylor3528]

OC: How about 2 R7s and a trailer!! lol 1 for track and 1 for everyday!!

[@HRCfan17]

The problem is that RR is not the current cbr. It’s what the US gets as the base model. It’s just the same as the 2017 RR. There is a base RR-R. We here in the US only get the SP version.

[@christophersingletary9393]

OC: RSP all day. The standard RR is just no comparison when it comes to both build and ride quality, and you surely won't get anywhere near the track capabilities of the RSP with a base RR. You can't just buy Moto GP engines like that.

[@jarrett1000rr]

It's literally a complete new bike. New chassis,engine , etc. Just waiting for the non-sp model to release

[@Nick-Edwards]

would you take this bike over the v4r?

[@louisverdante4438]

You know its fast when there is extra R

[@ajscyclesalvage]

In canada if you buy a new cbr1000 they only sell the rrr sp. We dont have the option to buy the standard version

[@dwanemckinney6746]

OC: in this scenario with those two options only, SP and a trailer.

[@scottsmith491]

When will Honda bring the "standard" RR-R SC82 in to the U S.??? Or is there no possiblety of that?? It's the same bike without the electronic suspension and it cost less than the SP.

[@dennismillus4581]

Please tell us what other bikes that would compare to the CBR's.

[@jonbunse9609]

My cb1000r has same motor. Just asking what is the difference besides price and programming for top end? Its still 3.3 to 60 and 120 in second gear. My r is naked. Still fast af. Top out hard at 168. Still dead and quick enough lol. It a 2022 with mono rear. Engine brake trac control abs and stable. At 13k. And looks sexy naked. Sounds sexy. And who needs go over 168?

[@poopsatbar19]

Both great looking bikes. I just wish Honda would put the exhaust back under the seat on these 1000cc bikes. I know it serves no purpose but it sure as hell looks the dogs bollox! (means the best for you Americans) ☕🐸🤦🏾‍♂️😂

[@rafaeltardelle]

Debaixo do banco esquenta muito o assento

[@mathiashammar1]

CBR 1000 RR was released 2017 as stock version. They release an new "fireblade" about every 4 year. so you are comparing a 4 year old bike non "special edition version" to a 2021 special edition ,HRC edition. That's why there are so many discrepancies your telling us about, and price diffrence.

[@DiagolonRider]

i love both bikes...but the Fireblade is Honda's S1000RR...i want one of each lol

[@ericmontano8548]

You should make a video on the Honda rebel 500

[@chaseontwowheels]

What about the Honda Rebel 500 would you like to know?

[@EatChowAzz]

in my country the 1000RR cost about $60k and the rr-r sp cost more than twice of the 1000RR (shoutout to my country crazy taxes regulations lol)

[@VyNguyen-gm4to]

In VietNam we have sp1 and sp2 idk why they didt just have one to compare with rrr instead base version
