The 2005 Honda CBR1000RR Repsol Edition came from the factory with a black frame. In 2007, Honda switched the Repsols to raw aluminum frames. There have been numerous uninformed comments concerning the video bike as being a "fake" due to the frame color.
if you are given the choice between choosing Honda Cbr1000rr 2005 Repsol Edition and Yamaha R1 2010 Fiat Edition special signature Rossi and which superbike will you choose? and give the reason ok
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Ephraim Musa thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@@GuerreroDelInfo fully agree. I always loved these blades. My mate bought the new 08 when they changed the shape and I never liked it. I like the fat back end of the 05. I have a mint condition low mileage hm plant Honda model and its 😍stunning! It's 16years old now.and still looks good amongst the newer bikes, in fact my bike will get a lot of attention compared to the newer bikes. Seems like this model was/is a fav to many superbike riders As for the ride this thing isna pleasure to ride, no mod cons just a very good electronic steering damper and the feel of your right wrist. Imo that's all you need for that raw unedited feeling. With only 8k on the clock this badboy has all the power that it came with from the factory. Slight variation with the sprockets and the front wheel will come up easily off the clutch in 1,2,3 and 4th if your going quick enough. Bike will hit top end of 180 ish pretty comfortably. If your ever going that quick your going too quick so these newer bikes with top ends going towards the 200mph is just pointless to me. It's way more important to have a smooth PowerPlant with a strong mid range and I fee Honda got it close to perfect with the 05 blade! The presenter of this clip got one thing bang on though. This gearbox does not like to be tickled. I learnt early on that you have to be very positive with gear shifts either wise u can hit false neutrals and the one thing he is 110% correct on is the change from 1st to 2nd....it is very clunky but something you get used to pretty quickly. I do wonder if a diff map setting would smooth this out but its something you really don't notice when u get used to the bike. Imo this is one of the best looking Hondas you can buy and there are still a "FEW" out there with low miles. These are close to being a classic sports bike so just watch the price go through the roof for a real clean low miles one! #Honda powered😉
I think you will find the shift from 1st to 2nd alot smoother if you change gear at higher RPM these are designed to be driven hard, things don't work as well on sports bikes at low speed and RPM . Good review. cheers
I love this format. This is easily my favorite TH-cam channel right now, very informative with real world information worth knowing. I grow tired of only ever hearing about a bike's ability to hold a line on the track. Please keep the videos coming!!
I enjoy your videos man, they are very informational and seem pretty unbiased. As a previous owner of a second generation 2007 zx10r, I found your review of the big ninja spot on. Keep up the good work.
Hey Eric have you owned one of these bikes or at least ridden them for a decent time !? I'm thinking of getting an 06 zx10r so your feedback would be very appreciated Thanks !
Hey Tushad how could you compare the two bikes against each other ? I'm interested in owning a 06 zx10r but would appreciate hands on insight . Thanks in advance man
Watching this in Guyana South America. Just imported my 900 CBR Fireblade from the UK. Old but awesome machine. Jetted and geared to run with the GSXRs, ZX10s and R1s
bought the grey and black 2004 in MINT cond with 20k miles ... now it has 45k+.... great bike and would have to commend you on your great review ... accurate from my perspective ... stay safe ... thank you
now this is what i call a review! Kudos!! all the information on the bike combined with great footage! One request: Could you sometime review the 06-07 gsxr 600?
Great review!!! I just brought an 2005 for 3K two weeks ago (Oct 2016) with only 30k miles on it. I'm loving it coming from my 2002 cbr600F4i!!! Great bike and style wise still looks good compared to the newer liter bikes. Bike is smooth as butter to me.........
Only thing Ive done to mine is change the oil. Id check the brakes, fork seals, and tried to test ride it upfront before buying to feel and listen to the engine. Ill be getting it fully serviced though before next riding season though just for good measures.
Bought an 04 brand new when they first came out and had multiple problems. Proud such as crank bearing, low oil consumption, stator failure and the coolant line dry rotten and explode. There was a problem with buying replacement parts as they were discontinued or unavailable in the first couple of years of owning it. I kept it for 6 years and should of bought a GSXR 1000R instead.
Hey Ian how could you compare the two bikes against each other ? I'm interested in owning a 06 zx10r but honestly I might be considered a (Kawi fan ) so after seeing this review I really like to take it easy and make the right decision ! would really appreciate your feed back on the two bikes . Thanks in advance man
@33svk33 H2 is fast post tune but pre tune it's a bit underwhelming from some of the Dyno tests. The 2016 R1 I got to ride was putting down 190 on the post tune which I have to say is dumb levels of fast. I still miss that bike but I don't need that much power.
Bout my 05 Repsol in 2011,still have it with only 15,000 miles. Some days I want to sale it and let someone else enjoy it cuz I don't ride much at all anymore, then I just stare at how beautiful it still is and shake my head, nawwwwww!!! I'll keep it lil longer. Peace!!!!
i wish other manufacturers would make the gas tank fairing instead of painted gas tank where gas tank is part of part of the body work, so if you drop it and put it a dent in the gas tank you aren't stuck with a dented gas tank, just slap on a new fairing over it, wonder why other manufacturers haven't caught on yet, just seems much more practical from a cosmetic stand point, no dent pulling no repainting
You're doing great vids my Freind. I love the concept as I used to ride in the not so distant past I also own a fire blade. Also a zx7 and a monster 900. There can be alot said about older bikes as many still have relevance for people looking for the sport bike thrill without having to finance there life away. Would live to see more vids on classics like the monster 900 the r1 or even the yzf' 's of the day all classic and icons and an r1 would still hold it's own today. Thanks and keep it up!
I stumbled across your channel recently and I must say that it's really nice to see someone reviewing older bikes :) I hope you can get a hold of a Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird as i'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
haha I just bought my 3rd 05 Repsol after having 2 stolen from me in Los Angeles (now in Texas) and you just made me run out to my garage to check my VIN number...
i just bought a 2004 fireblade (owned in past F2, F4i, DRZ 2012+2015) and EVERYTHING you said in your review WAS EXACTLY as i perceived them... GOOD TO KNOW SOMEONE ELSE IS AS F**KED UP AS ME... PEACE OUT.... THANKS FOR THE VID!
I'm just about to purchase an 07 RR. I currently have an 06 SV1K and looking forward to the upgrade! After watching this video and many others on the Honda, it's definitely the right move/buy. I'm looking forward to how the front steering damper comes into play at speed and cornering!
Very beautiful, this bike. How does it behave in relation to 954 and 1000 06-07? there are many differences between these machines. I know that from 954 to 1000 everything has been changed. But in practice, walking in them, can many differences be felt? the 954, looking, looks smaller, lighter, compact and fun, and it also has a descending object door under the back seat. Anyway, for Sunday rides and quick rides, which one would be the best?
hey, i like ur reviews and ur scope... I think going fwd, you should put a current bike side by side and it gives that perfect effect of the old and new review that u are already doing. Good job tho...
You make good reviews, but I think it would help if you actually showed a little more of its performance. Like 0-60 and the acceleration speeds after60mph
I noticed you stated this bike had "20k miles on the clock", however your odometer reads 7k miles. either way, love the used bike reviews! when is the next video coming?!!!!
Old faithful lol, I’ve had mine almost ten years. I agree that it has clunky shifting and you have to stay on top of clutch maintenance. Besides the stator going out every couple of years it’s a tank. I think I only have 12k on mine.
I think I would choose the CBR for its high build quality and proven history of reliability. The suspension is superior on the Honda as well. However, the ZX10R isn't a bad machine and it definitely wins in all-out power.
Hey Dude!!! Yours Used Bikes Reviews are AWESOME, wonderful made, very informational, argued. Nice to watch :) i can"t whait, what will be your next reviewed bike :)) And i have a little recommendation on bikes. Because yours 2005 Honda CBR 1000 RR Repsol review was briliant, you must ride on this beautiful Honda little brother CBR 600 F4 or F4i :) i have got one of these and i think people must to know, how these machines are amazing :) Thanks of useful 10:54 of my life Cheers !!!!
Do the oem farings have anything like a vin sticker where you can tell if they are original to bike? I find on liter bikes they shift to 2nd much smoother at higher rpms.
Anybody know how many were produced in 2007? I'm about to go check out bike this weekend and wanted to make sure the vin is within the limited number produced.
I love mine,the comments made about no storage,high foot pegs,and no magnetic tank for bags are pointless really lets not forget this is an out and out sports bike.If I want to feel comfortable and go on holidays the blade doesn't get a look in,thats what I bought an old 1200 faired bandit for,perfect!
Confused as to why a "thin" "scalpel" doesn't make sense on the street. From my point of view that's exactly what you need in traffic - something nimble you can use to weave between cars (I don't even mean lane splitting, although that is a factor too). Track on the other hand, go as wide as you like.
Bought mine brand new 0mi on it in 2004. I don't feel the clunkiness in the gears but that's me been riding the same bike since new. I'm tall so the weight forward kills my wrist. long distance rides suck if they don't have twistes. But overall love my 04 1000rr
I got my 05 in 2008. Its a great bike, but All this driving in this neighborhood.... did you get it out of 2nd gear? I have absolutely no need for a newer bike. As a matter of fact, I just did oil, coolant, front and rear brakes, new chain and sprockets in the past 2 weeks. Mine is black and silver. IM looking at new plastics this winter, either Red, white and blue or that gorgeous blue and yellow.
Quick question: I got myself one of these and I love it. But compared to my old Kawasaki ZX10, the brake lever has a little more "free play" before it actually starts gripping the brakes. Like 3/4 of an inch. I got used to it now, but I wonder if that's normal. Any owners out there have any advice? The brake fluid is new and the brakes are working otherwise perfect. Thanks!
***** Hi. Thanks for the additional response. Yes, my fluids were completely renewed. And the brakes work absolutely great. Nice firm grip with no saggyness or softness, front and back. The only thing I noticed is that the "free play" (for lack of a better description) of the front brake is more than what I was used to (I used to ride a ZX10). My old bike would "click" the rear brake switch at about 5mm and then the brakes would begin to bite. On my Fireblade I need to pull the lever about 10mm before the brake switch clicks and after that the brakes will engage (this was measured from the end of the lever to the edge of the handlebar stub). The brake levers are not OEM so it may be just that the lever and master cylinder have a little more play. I ordered a replacement master cylinder just to be sure that nothing is wrong with that. I will also check if the calipers are moving freely. The bike has 15K miles and the previous owner took really good care of it, so I hope everything is fine and I don't need to rebuild the calipers. Cheers! EDIT: I forgot to mention that the rotors are new, so that's one thing to check of my list as well. I got used to the brake as it is now but I'll be working on the bike during the winter and see what happens.
Hey Mick how could you compare the two bikes against each other ? I'm interested in owning a 06 zx10r but honestly I might be considered a (Kawi fan ) so after seeing this review I really like to take it easy and make the right decision ! would really appreciate your feed back on the two bikes regarding (Daily commuting , seating position , reliability for the bike and it's parts , suspension , long rides like more than 300 km , and the bike in general ) .

You sold me. This is going to be my next bike.

Great bikes...like the repsol colors and well built.
I seldom comments for a video.
But, Great video !!!
The problem with the 998 is the power to weight is shit compared to the 954rr
The quality and presentation of your videos are great.
vs the 2006-7 zx10r who did you like the most and found more reliable? i really like the zx10 in black but many reviews trash it
I think I would choose the CBR for its high build quality and proven history of reliability. The suspension is superior on the Honda as well. However, the ZX10R isn't a bad machine and it definitely wins in all-out power.
I have a cbr600rr 97. Now I know what model will be my next honda
Hey Dude!!! Yours Used Bikes Reviews are AWESOME, wonderful made, very informational, argued. Nice to watch :) i can"t whait, what will be your next reviewed bike :))
And i have a little recommendation on bikes. Because yours 2005 Honda CBR 1000 RR Repsol review was briliant, you must ride on this beautiful Honda little brother CBR 600 F4 or F4i :) i have got one of these and i think people must to know, how these machines are amazing :)
Thanks of useful 10:54 of my life
Cheers !!!!
The only bad thing about the 04-07 1000RR is the electrical charging system (Stator) and maybe the paint job.
the one i just purchase has NEW STATOR... can u elaborate, or are u aware of any mods to prevent it happening again.... thank you
I love these. What makes you choose the bikes you choose?
We focus on sport-oriented bikes that can be purchased for under $5000. Thanks for watching!
The price of this and 954 are same, pratcly
954 or 1000 04-05?
Do the oem farings have anything like a vin sticker where you can tell if they are original to bike?
I find on liter bikes they shift to 2nd much smoother at higher rpms.
Hi,getting one of these cheap,but there a problem with the chain adjuster,the engine turns on though,is it worth it at 2200$?
Fantastic content! I really enjoyed this :)
My neighbour has the same one. Loved all fireblades up to this shape, went downhill then sadly :(

I got my 05 in 2008. Its a great bike, but All this driving in this neighborhood.... did you get it out of 2nd gear? I have absolutely no need for a newer bike. As a matter of fact, I just did oil, coolant, front and rear brakes, new chain and sprockets in the past 2 weeks. Mine is black and silver. IM looking at new plastics this winter, either Red, white and blue or that gorgeous blue and yellow.
Could you recommend a site for oem plastics?
Dr. House loves it.
Hello lads,can you tell me please what the Exhaust this Pretty bike Have????
Very informative video
Planning to.buy a 1000rr 2005 29k kms. What things would you suggest to check.
Hi! Can u please do a Yamaha R1 04’ thanks!!!
Quick question: I got myself one of these and I love it. But compared to my old Kawasaki ZX10, the brake lever has a little more "free play" before it actually starts gripping the brakes. Like 3/4 of an inch. I got used to it now, but I wonder if that's normal. Any owners out there have any advice? The brake fluid is new and the brakes are working otherwise perfect. Thanks!
+n Thank you.
***** Hi. Thanks for the additional response. Yes, my fluids were completely renewed. And the brakes work absolutely great. Nice firm grip with no saggyness or softness, front and back. The only thing I noticed is that the "free play" (for lack of a better description) of the front brake is more than what I was used to (I used to ride a ZX10). My old bike would "click" the rear brake switch at about 5mm and then the brakes would begin to bite. On my Fireblade I need to pull the lever about 10mm before the brake switch clicks and after that the brakes will engage (this was measured from the end of the lever to the edge of the handlebar stub). The brake levers are not OEM so it may be just that the lever and master cylinder have a little more play. I ordered a replacement master cylinder just to be sure that nothing is wrong with that. I will also check if the calipers are moving freely. The bike has 15K miles and the previous owner took really good care of it, so I hope everything is fine and I don't need to rebuild the calipers. Cheers! EDIT: I forgot to mention that the rotors are new, so that's one thing to check of my list as well. I got used to the brake as it is now but I'll be working on the bike during the winter and see what happens.
Hey Mick
how could you compare the two bikes against each other ? I'm interested in owning a 06 zx10r but honestly I might be considered a (Kawi fan ) so after seeing this review I really like to take it easy and make the right decision !
would really appreciate your feed back on the two bikes regarding (Daily commuting , seating position , reliability for the bike and it's parts , suspension , long rides like more than 300 km , and the bike in general )
.
Thanks in advance man !
air/change fluids... enjoy!
Great review
31k miles on mile, still running strong
Have you bought it off Greg House?
