Great video, can you sometimes do the conversion to metric units for the rest of the world, and please keep doing bike reviews like this, it's more detailed than most channels. Great video and thanks again!
@@bobthebuilder6715 hey. Yeah. I started trying to do metric in my later videos. With all the numbers and stats that go into making these videos and having to listen to people complain if you're off by 1 mm, it can be quite time-consuming to research both sets of numbers, and in a lot of cases, I have to do the conversions cause the manufacturers don't provide them.

This is a phenomenal motorcycle. I purchased a new one a few weeks ago and you cannot over emphasize the light weight of this bike - 434 lbs. It's like riding a 600, but with the power of a Liter bike. It lays on it's side sooo easy and loves doing so. After test driving every other bike in it's class, this is absolutely the most balanced of all of them...after adding a few upgrades and a competent ECU flash the power surpasses that of most other stock bikes in it's class. A pure pleasure to ride and certainly has the ability to be a widowmaker if not respected.
Love this comment. Awesome to hear that a lot of the same things resonate with you. Weight cannot be overstated at all. It’s what really makes the bike so good. Along with the balance and ease of use. Really great bike.
Would like to have a go. I still own a 2010 blade, it’s scary fast. I’ve lightened mine, fitted full arrow system, light weight battery and I’ve dismantled the abs system in favour of braided hoses. Shaving many kilos. My bike now accelerates and turns sharper. A real widow maker lol
I picked up '17 CBR1000RR on 11OCT2019. It had 2,189 miles on it and the dealership (car dealership) sold it to me for $10,891. The bike is freakin' light, felt lighter than my CBR600RR. Either way, it's smooth, powerful and get's plenty of compliments. Whoever had it before me, put an M4 muffler on it, and it sounds great. No complaints yet...
I agree with you. Saw one at the dealership and sat on it. Definitely lighter than my brother's bikes. Zx10r, ducati and r6. Definitely getting one haha
I love your review style. You show more of the bike appearance in many different angles than just the handle bar. Great review and history of the bike.
Very honest review - thank you - I am interested in this specific bike - I wanted to "like" your video but the counter was at 665 and I couldn't do it ! I will be back ! Cheers
@@ridexdrive ok just thought i would ask. I plan on taking the MSF course soon and I've look at the 600 and got on it and. I really like it and felt comfortable just wanted to know how it ride
@@mikeanderson2152 Yeah. I have no doubt it is a great bike. Spent plenty of time on the 2005-2006 generation CBR600RR and it was an awesome bike. My first experience with a "supersport" was on that bike. I'd imagine the new ones live up to Honda's standards of building great all around bikes as well. Probably even more so than the CBR1000RR. Just my guess though. If we ever get the chance to review one, we'll jump at the opportunity. Thanks for watching, have fun and be safe!
Nicely done review. Crazy that ABS is not standard though. I think that is mandatory now on all new bikes in the EU so it should be on the EU version as standard. I am thinking of getting a new (old model like yours) 1000RR SP1 for 2020 - the last of the old stock left at the distributor. €19,900 seems a good price considering that the new release SP model costs €27,000.
Stephen Flaherty thanks for watching! Yeah, honestly ABS has always seemed like a luxury on a motorcycle but in today’s world it’s a pretty basic feature. I’ve never been in a situation where I needed it but good to know it’s there if needed. Good luck with your purchase!
11-01-2020 my new Fireblade-SP arrives !!! I thought my past 2017-SP2 was SUBLIME/FLAWLESS !! i cant stop thinking about my new Blade!!! when your in a full tuck at 130-160-mph things get real exciting!!!!! Especially in a turn!!! The ne front end is going to be DELICIOUS!!!!
@@ridexdrive No thank you for the review. Quick question. i Currently own an MT07. My "commute " to work is only 15 - 20 mins. Bike will be used almost daily but is short bursts, maybe the odd 1 - 2 hour ride on the weekend/ might get into a few track days down the line/Euro tours once a year. You think this is the better choice for this out of the 1000cc sport class comfort wise etc? Or do you have any other recommendations worth looking into?
@@ShinigamiShionZ I think the fireblade is the most comfortable and well suited bike for daily commuting out of the big four. Although, I haven't had a chance to ride the GSXR1000 so I can't say how it fairs. I found the CBR more comfortable and easy to ride than the R1 and ZX-10R. With that being said, I am not a fan of liter bikes as daily bikes or track bikes. To really get the most out of a 1000cc supersport, you have to be an extremely experienced rider (pro). Most riders will never be able to truly push a 1000 on a track. Straight line pulls on the highway don't count :). I think, for most riders, 600s are better for the track and it's easier to gain more technical skills on a 600 vs a 1000. If that mikes sense. Slow bike fast, fast bike slow, something something whatever. In terms of commuting, middleweight naked bikes are prime at commuting in an aggressive, sporty matter. They do just about everything really well. But, if its gotta be a liter bike, the fireblade is an excellent real world choice. This particular generation, I would skip the matte black color and go for one of the Grand Prix colors. Last, in terms of recommendations. It's hard to say because there are so many great bikes out there. If I had to choose I would get a Triumph Daytona for the track and Street Triple for commuting (same bike and I am completely biased). Beyond that a CBR600RR or R6 would be next for the track and an MT-09 for commuting. One bike for everything? Street Triple RS! I hope this helps with thinking through things. Just an opinion though. At the end of the day, do what suits you!
@@ridexdrive Brilliant. To be honest I'm still heavily deciding between a ZX6r and the CBr1000r (which happen to be the same weight) But I'm keeping the MT07 as well which i may trade for a MT09 down the line) so I feel like I'm not sure if I would want a Middleweight sportbike as well. But thanks for the advice out of the big 4 I think this is the one, going to do some test rides and both and see how it goes. Thanks for the video and response 👍🏾 subscribed
I owned a 2008 and 2012 but i was just continuously beat by the S1000rr, till i purchased my own, i still very much love this 2018s style and the 2020 CBRs style even more.
Good stuff! I stumbled onto your video after seeing one of these at the dealership recently. Great review of a great bike. I'm in the market for another bike and comparing this to the new Ducati Panigale V2. Your review is really helpful! Subbed!
Jason Lopez thanks! Glad ridexdrive could be helpful. You have great taste. Two really cool bikes you’re considering. Good luck with deciding. Enjoy and be safe.
Great video! very impressed with the fluid explanations and helping me make my choice on a new cbr 600 or cbr 1000. i have an 09 cbr 600 now and i want a bit more power down low and not having to down shift X amount of gears to get there but also not too much power that it is unpredictable and frankly not enjoyable to cruise.. keep the awesome videos coming in!!
@@ridexdrive gotcha I'm a cbr1k owner in Raleigh. Keep up the good work. Be safe with the outta control drivers here in NC. One more sub here of many to come.
The comfort isn't that bad as others say ? I guess you can be fine commuting 30+ miles a day in city and bit countryside , by looking at your posture at 7:22 you seem like you aren't sticked with your chest on top of that fuel tank like a log and meanwhile feel quite relaxed at moderate speed. Are you?
what a beautiful bike i want a cbr1000rr but everyone says they are under powered for the 1k class i dont think it makes a difference on the street though its either this or bmw or kawasaki. currently have cbr650
@@joeyschmidt7546 They’re plenty fast. People that say they’re underpowered are probably highway racers or stat sheet racers. If that isn’t how you ride or you don’t care about bragging about something you’ll never do, it’s lighter, more refined, and more enjoyable to ride in most situations than a Kawasaki in my opinion. I think the BMW S1000RR is the best all around 1000 but can be pricey if you get too many “cool” options. Good luck and have fun deciding.
@@ridexdrive i found a 22 with 500 miles all black bmw s100rr asking 16.9k cash i thought about buying it but i need to buy a home and would like a newer car as well before spending that type of money. my cbr650 for the street is plenty fast and fun for now even though i really badly want a 1000rr. i mean i could sell my bike for 5-6k but that is still over 10k cash i have to get rid of which is like a quater of my bank account not a smart decision for me right now until i do get a new/used home. lol thanks for your response i love honda so much.
Really considering buying one of these nice too see a youtuber in Charlotte, I was confused i came too see a fireblade, 🤔 that kinda looks like 277 wait a minute thats south blvd 😂
How would you compare this to the S1000RR? I want a comfortable-ish 1000cc supersport, but don’t necessarily want the hard-edged racing machine like the R1, etc. 99% of my riding is on the streets.
The newest S1000RR is in another league imo. But they are both similar in that they do everything really well, are extremely well balanced, well built, and deliver their power in a very linear way. But this generation CBR lacks the tech and outright power you will find on the newest S1000RR. With that being said, if you are mainly a street rider both the Honda and BMW are very comfortable on the streets compared to other superbikes. You'll only be able to use a very small portion of what they have to offer on the streets but they're still great bikes. BMW and Honda made it a point to make both the CBR1000RR and S1000RR friendly on the streets. If you can afford it, I think the S1000RR is the best all-around superbike on the market.
@@ridexdrive Thanks for the reply. I’ve seen deals on used 2017+ CBR1000RRs for ~$8k. Even 10-year-old S1000RRs are $10k+ and the new models are all $20k+ so I might have to settle for the CBR.
@@thelongbow141 You're not settling. It's still a great bike. For anything under $10k you're getting a lot of motorcycle for your money! Good luck deciding!
Quickest and easiest way to tell is likely to look for the yellow/orange (ABS) light above the green N (neutral) light on the far right side of the TFT display on startup. Note in the video at 7:36 there is no ABS light on this model.
It’s a genuine Honda accessory. So it very likely came with the bike. Not sure if this link works but look for accessories for a 2019 CBR1000RR and it should be listed. $169.95 powersports.honda.com/accessories/listing
enough money and know how = yes otherwise, I am not sure if there are aftermarket kits available to do a conversion. Fireblades used to also have under seat exhausts in or around 2006 I believe.
Do you know why this review is great? Majority of reviewers out there are arseholes who decide to put cam on their helmet while riding the motorcycle the whole vid and doing boring talk... we cant even see the motorcycle
No sir. I have never had an issue with over heating and rarely have any of my CBR1K's ever gotten over 223* sitting in traffic. Now, summer riding in traffic on hot days, your typical weekly check of oil needs to be monitored more. Some oil will burn off and a few ounces will have to be added once or twice during Late Spring/Summer/Early Fall riding season.
I'm looking at the same bike I noticed when I started it the traction light and the abs light were on while running in neutral is this normal??? Please help bout to purchase tomorrow.
Hey. Not sure. Do they go off when you start to ride the bike or go in gear? It’s possible it’s normal but honestly don’t know. The bike we had wasn’t equipped with ABS. You’d be better off contacting a local Honda service department and asking them if you’re concerned about any issues with the bike. Best of luck!
This particular bike is not available in showrooms. You can find plenty of them used throughout the US. Not sure about other countries. The newest generation CBR1000RR should have availability in showrooms.
Thanks! Always makes me happy when people watch my videos that intently. This was shot well before the RR-R was even a thing or at least well before I had any knowledge of it. It's just a minor error in speech and editing. Isn't referring to the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP that was released 2-3 years after recording this. You're not the first person to mention it. I don't even know where it's at in the video. haha. Thanks for the comment though!
@@SteezeN I have as well and the ZX10 is NOT that much faster if at all. I have seen it both ways where some are faster than others despite brand or versus other brands. An owner that knows his tuning and upkeep will always be faster than a squid just looking for speed and thinking the parts he has added are properly incorporated and yet, clueless to reality. It is inconsequential what you own, they are all fast and so closely matched it is to finite to really care unless you get a boat load of track time in. At which point, you know what you are doing and then, it matters! In my garage now is a 2016 Aprilia RSV4, 2014 BMW HP4, 2010, 2015 SP and will be getting a 2020-21 CBR1000RR-R come March. Stay safe, stay aware. and most of all stay alive riding in traffic. Phones have changed the game and we are at more risk riding these days then ever before.
Aaron Morris the 2019 zx10r is faster than all the bikes you own now. If a 209 WHEEL hp bike isn’t much faster than a 180whp bike to you idk what to tell you, the zx10r makes 20-30 more wheel hp than the Honda, that’s A LOTTT. The Honda comes with a very light own exhaust from factory . When you have full titanium system and other things the weight difference isn’t much
@@ridexdrive that's 195 kg and some change. Give or take 15/16 kg for fluids even 20kg still puts this bike at 175 kg dry weight which means that this is not the lightest Fireblade ever made as some motoring journo's claim. That honour belongs to the 2002/2003 954 Fireblade which had a dry weight of 168kg... And the second lightest Fireblade was the 2000/2001 929 Fireblade.
That said.... With the advancement of ergonomics, materials used in construction, principles such as mass centralisation, and utilising data from previous builds, I have no doubt, that the majority of reviews I have watched claim the bike to be light and flickable feeling like a 600 and one guy claims it feels like a 300! That's probably a stretch but I'll settle for 600. Has anybody got an idea on the wheelbase figure?
You are correct! We usually talk about them separately though. Unless we say otherwise, we are usually referring to the 1000 (2004 and newer) models when we mention the fireblade. With smaller engines, it would make sense that the 900s are lighter. They were great bikes too and had the same light weight and balanced philosophy.
Lol, a textbook American sportbike video. Immaculately enunciated aka the Lockpicking Lawyer. Sits on the bike like a girl, clearly scared shitless, are those bowling shoes? Gives advice : always pay attention while riding ! :) Whoa, thanks. Is this man in fact reading the Honda brochure? If the Fireblade is a `supersport`, what do you call the Supersport class ( 600 cc)? I enjoyed the footage, this bike looks ace in black. Even with a Sunday Civilian on top :)

Hmmm.
One day in the distant future, we are all going to look back and make fun of how big our GoPro cameras were, on our helmets. Watch...
Haha. Heard it here first!
Would like to have a go. I still own a 2010 blade, it’s scary fast. I’ve lightened mine, fitted full arrow system, light weight battery and I’ve dismantled the abs system in favour of braided hoses. Shaving many kilos. My bike now accelerates and turns sharper. A real widow maker lol

@rideXdrive is that south blvd in Charlotte NC?
Yup!
What brake peds you choose? The bLack
I love Honda
Hi, what is the wind shield that you have installed. Is that the ZG double bubble or the Corsa?
This isn't our bike. Unfortunately not sure exactly which one it is. Only that it's Zero Gravity.
Really considering buying one of these nice too see a youtuber in Charlotte, I was confused i came too see a fireblade, 🤔 that kinda looks like 277 wait a minute thats south blvd 😂
Haha. Awesome. Yeah man QC all day.
How would you compare this to the S1000RR? I want a comfortable-ish 1000cc supersport, but don’t necessarily want the hard-edged racing machine like the R1, etc. 99% of my riding is on the streets.
The newest S1000RR is in another league imo. But they are both similar in that they do everything really well, are extremely well balanced, well built, and deliver their power in a very linear way. But this generation CBR lacks the tech and outright power you will find on the newest S1000RR. With that being said, if you are mainly a street rider both the Honda and BMW are very comfortable on the streets compared to other superbikes. You'll only be able to use a very small portion of what they have to offer on the streets but they're still great bikes. BMW and Honda made it a point to make both the CBR1000RR and S1000RR friendly on the streets. If you can afford it, I think the S1000RR is the best all-around superbike on the market.
@@ridexdrive Thanks for the reply. I’ve seen deals on used 2017+ CBR1000RRs for ~$8k. Even 10-year-old S1000RRs are $10k+ and the new models are all $20k+ so I might have to settle for the CBR.
@@thelongbow141 You're not settling. It's still a great bike. For anything under $10k you're getting a lot of motorcycle for your money! Good luck deciding!
How do you know if it has ABS or not????
Quickest and easiest way to tell is likely to look for the yellow/orange (ABS) light above the green N (neutral) light on the far right side of the TFT display on startup. Note in the video at 7:36 there is no ABS light on this model.
Any idea where that rear seat cowl was bought?
It’s a genuine Honda accessory. So it very likely came with the bike. Not sure if this link works but look for accessories for a 2019 CBR1000RR and it should be listed. $169.95
powersports.honda.com/accessories/listing
is it possible to put the exhaust under the seat like the 600?
enough money and know how = yes
otherwise, I am not sure if there are aftermarket kits available to do a conversion. Fireblades used to also have under seat exhausts in or around 2006 I believe.
CBR is a nice bike🥰🥰
My guy was on South Boulevard in Charlotte nc
Yeah! That’s correct.
Do you know why this review is great? Majority of reviewers out there are arseholes who decide to put cam on their helmet while riding the motorcycle the whole vid and doing boring talk... we cant even see the motorcycle
haha. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed.
Does this bike has speed limiter or something like that rpm limiter
every sportsbike got a limiter, its for EU regulations.
Close call
That’s clt for you 👍🏽
4:10 - Dude don't park there! That's a VERY bad idea!
It was just for the video… haha.
My dream bike , how much it cost , in USA ..??
This exact bike goes for about $14,000 - $15,000 on average. Thanks for the comment!
What part of NC is this
Charlotte
How many miles do I need to ride to get enough experience to handle a bike like this?!
There’s no magical mile number. In my opinion it all comes down to self control, being realistic about your skill level, and respecting the bike.
Bonjour monsieur combien coûte cette honda CBr 1000
The guy who marked 1k like.😉
Thanks!!! Lol.
Is this a good starter bike?
Ima go with no.
Does it over heat riding on city?
We didn't run into any overheating issues while riding.
No sir. I have never had an issue with over heating and rarely have any of my CBR1K's ever gotten over 223* sitting in traffic. Now, summer riding in traffic on hot days, your typical weekly check of oil needs to be monitored more. Some oil will burn off and a few ounces will have to be added once or twice during Late Spring/Summer/Early Fall riding season.
@@theboombapp6351 thank you! I'm really excited about changing my 08 zx6r for a 18 cbr1k! I hope I wont regret it 😅
I'm looking at the same bike I noticed when I started it the traction light and the abs light were on while running in neutral is this normal??? Please help bout to purchase tomorrow.
Hey. Not sure. Do they go off when you start to ride the bike or go in gear? It’s possible it’s normal but honestly don’t know. The bike we had wasn’t equipped with ABS. You’d be better off contacting a local Honda service department and asking them if you’re concerned about any issues with the bike. Best of luck!
Wow that near miss! Totally agree with you to always be on the lookout.
OH and props on the Mk7, I have a Audi a3 2.0t so we're cousins lol
Awesome! Part of the family. Thanks for the follow.
Can someone tell me this cbr is still available in showroom or Honda discountinued it ??? Plzzz tell me
This particular bike is not available in showrooms. You can find plenty of them used throughout the US. Not sure about other countries. The newest generation CBR1000RR should have availability in showrooms.
My brain says 650r
My heart says 1000rr
GTI Fan.. Five!
Yeah! haha
Wow the guy just went woooosh right off the road
Honda is Honda
Pull those damn tank stickers off!
How tall are you sir?
Hey! 5’9” (1.75 m)
@@ridexdrive thanks and ride safe...
lets describe a supersports bike the most boring way possible
Boring is what we aim for! Thanks for the confirmation and engagement!
RR not RR-R not a Fireblade. good video though
Thanks! Always makes me happy when people watch my videos that intently. This was shot well before the RR-R was even a thing or at least well before I had any knowledge of it. It's just a minor error in speech and editing. Isn't referring to the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP that was released 2-3 years after recording this. You're not the first person to mention it. I don't even know where it's at in the video. haha. Thanks for the comment though!
Driver was probably impaired. You'd be surprised how many people are driving intoxicated.
akrapovic slip on?
That's correct. The Akropovic Titanium GP Slip On.
rideXdrive incredible sound with only slip on ! 😮
Im between a cbr 1000rr and a ninja zx10 Dont know what to do!!!
We have a review coming on a 2019 ZX10R. Stay tuned.
Joel Serna zx10r is a lotttt faster
Tim I’ve owned both
@@SteezeN I have as well and the ZX10 is NOT that much faster if at all. I have seen it both ways where some are faster than others despite brand or versus other brands. An owner that knows his tuning and upkeep will always be faster than a squid just looking for speed and thinking the parts he has added are properly incorporated and yet, clueless to reality. It is inconsequential what you own, they are all fast and so closely matched it is to finite to really care unless you get a boat load of track time in. At which point, you know what you are doing and then, it matters! In my garage now is a 2016 Aprilia RSV4, 2014 BMW HP4, 2010, 2015 SP and will be getting a 2020-21 CBR1000RR-R come March. Stay safe, stay aware. and most of all stay alive riding in traffic. Phones have changed the game and we are at more risk riding these days then ever before.
Aaron Morris the 2019 zx10r is faster than all the bikes you own now. If a 209 WHEEL hp bike isn’t much faster than a 180whp bike to you idk what to tell you, the zx10r makes 20-30 more wheel hp than the Honda, that’s A LOTTT. The Honda comes with a very light own exhaust from factory . When you have full titanium system and other things the weight difference isn’t much
best bike made 2019 up perfect
430 pounds is wet weight right?
That’s correct! About 434 lbs with ABS.
@@ridexdrive that's 195 kg and some change. Give or take 15/16 kg for fluids even 20kg still puts this bike at 175 kg dry weight which means that this is not the lightest Fireblade ever made as some motoring journo's claim. That honour belongs to the 2002/2003 954 Fireblade which had a dry weight of 168kg... And the second lightest Fireblade was the 2000/2001 929 Fireblade.
That said.... With the advancement of ergonomics, materials used in construction, principles such as mass centralisation, and utilising data from previous builds, I have no doubt, that the majority of reviews I have watched claim the bike to be light and flickable feeling like a 600 and one guy claims it feels like a 300! That's probably a stretch but I'll settle for 600. Has anybody got an idea on the wheelbase figure?
You are correct! We usually talk about them separately though. Unless we say otherwise, we are usually referring to the 1000 (2004 and newer) models when we mention the fireblade. With smaller engines, it would make sense that the 900s are lighter. They were great bikes too and had the same light weight and balanced philosophy.
55.3 inches I believe for the 2017-19 models. And yes 300 is certainly pushing it haha.
Wow
Are you kidding?
How tall are you?
@@jonesjones21 Hey. 5’9.
Le coût de la Honda CBR 1000rr
i would get either the suzuki or honda lol
Nice!
Lol, a textbook American sportbike video. Immaculately enunciated aka the Lockpicking Lawyer. Sits on the bike like a girl, clearly scared shitless, are those bowling shoes? Gives advice : always pay attention while riding ! :) Whoa, thanks. Is this man in fact reading the Honda brochure? If the Fireblade is a `supersport`, what do you call the Supersport class ( 600 cc)? I enjoyed the footage, this bike looks ace in black. Even with a Sunday Civilian on top :)
Haha. Thanks for watching!
