Reviews like this are what make sports bikes still the ultimate buzz in the motorcycle world. Absolute weapon ,hats off to Honda for keeping the class alive and updated. Neeves reviews are always #1 , always look forward to his opinions .
I can appreciate other bikes and have ridden many types but even when someone else rides passed and I'm walking, the excitement a sports bike gives for me is unrivalled. Still got my K5 1000 in full Yoshi engine tune, but this has got my interest 😲
I didn’t see Neevsy that excited for sometime and it shows how great the bike from his reaction, i think I wasn’t wrong about my choice for the next bike.
Wow man we love your reviews...You provide such a valuable informations, so precise, pin point review....hopefully u keep doing more! Litetally u just say what people want to hear and it's not just me, i've talked to all or my friends Great job srsl!
All of the changes made are going to make this Blade the one to beat in the coming years. The icing on the cake is the aesthetic design, just gorgeous.
Only the SP version available in the UK? There was a time when bikers could afford a Fireblade. What did Ducati say a few weeks ago. “If you want a Ferrari you have to pay Ferrari prices”!!! Great review Michael, your enthusiasm for this new Blade shone through and made me want it even more! But I guess on reflection many bikes when fully specced command similar prices to the Fireblade SP these days.
difference is if you buy a "ferrari" or a ducati, the real cost is hidden-its the long term ownership, and the maintenance costs far surpass the original costs of ownership the honda the price is up front, with no long term costs except oil changes. no maintenance. no breakdowns. no issues whatsoever.
Great work as always guys! Can't wait for the top dog shootout. And maybe the 600 shootout? Which would be more like a comparison since there's only two of them now lol
Great video Michael your smile enthusiasm said so much about the bike as well as the tech information. I like the new format with Joseph getting a speaking part 😊 great video 👍👍👍
Wish Honda would make a naked version. They don't have anything to compete with things like my ZH2SE, Street Fighter V4's and the like. My first bike was CBR 600 F2 so I have a soft spot for them.
Nice detailed review, thank you. Clearly some very extensive development with some cool new features like the split throttle bodies. Nice to finally see adjustable options for ABS settings added too. One thing not mentioned that has me curious, what's with Honda's unwavering reluctance to equip their top tier track focused bike with braided brake lines? Surely it's not a cost cutting measure. Given the price of the bike, the difference in cost to equip at factory is an insignificant percentage. Likewise the idea the bike is aimed at racing and most bikes will have the ABS removed etc. seems an unreasonable justification given all the other bits clearly aimed at the consumer level, such as revised ergos and electronic suspension.
Honda need to go too a V4! They’re running back of the pack in WSBK, and they’re not even on the grid in domestic championships outside BSB. MotoAmerica or ASBK. Soichiro Honda would be shamed of the current state of Honda racing.
Didn't want to go off-topic but I have to ask... That Jacket you're wearing on the interview. I've been looking but couldn't find it. Alpinestars SP-5 looked a little like it but that wasn't it. Do you mind telling me what it was? Cheers mate! 🤜 🤛
Off topic, but can you guys please fix the link to the 2024 Moto Guzzi V85tt review by mike armitage that i can see the title of in a google search, but comes up "page not available" when you try to get to the article?
Great video,what is it about Hondas ,they just surprise,amazing handling,sizzling engines and thats in comparison to my KTM RC8 and Benelli TNT 1130.The VFR 1200,somewhat modified is the Q bike if ever there was one.
One of the benefits of having longer gearbox ratios was that it provided an excuse to tell the police when they pulled you over....."Officer, I was going 120kph?...but I was still in 1st gear.....I'm quite sorry, I will try to be more careful with that now."
Im pretty sure Honda is actually run by a Batman villain. They simultaneously make the world's most average cars and sensible motorcycles while also making the Blackbird and race bikes that melt your spleen. I've been diagnosed as bipolar, and I definitely see a kindred spirit in them 😅
On the European bike specialness point, it is important to recognise the build quality and reliability of the Honda. They are different, not better, so choose your preferences. I have both so speak from experience, not bias. Clearly this Fireblade is more than we will ever need up to Superstock racing..

Both? :v
(Thanks for the awesome vod as always MCN/Neeves)
Sp
Fireblade!
S1000RR
CBR!!!
F*** me, the way Bridewell went past you and stormed off in to the distance...... that was nuts!
What do you mean skip to 12:05 to see specs?!? We’re all here for Neevesy what we he says is gospel!!
Had a giggle you nearly floored the tyre warmer man! Great review as ever.
Honestly one of admin's favorite tracks 🔥Listen to that thing scream down the straight
This whole video was such a huge step up, brilliant review, editing and have been watching for years, great work neevsy and the team at mcn.
Much appreciated!
13:35 Neeves almost KO-d that poor guy putting tyre warmers on 🤣🤣 great review as Always by MCN, bike is epic 🤩
Would have made a great blooper reel
noticed that too lol
Great review yet again. No waffling just straight to the point info. Some bike! very temping
I wish Honda success in WSBK
They need a V4! The competition is just better!
I don't
Kawasaki won the first race in australia
I don't think so..
They are way behind other competitors..
@@KyleMicenai think same ....but Ducati V4 motor is much strong in WSBK

So great to see the Blade being great again!!
I ordered mine today should be here by july ❤️ full spec sp
Full lap was awesome! (And also just beautiful footage.) Hope you guys can do that more often.
That's the plan!
Neevesy is a gift to all 2 wheel kind. What a treasure. Cheers from across the pond.
I didn’t see Neevsy that excited for sometime and it shows how great the bike from his reaction, i think I wasn’t wrong about my choice for the next bike.
Best looking superbike out there!

Great production. I love seeing this type of video from you all. Keep them coming
Love the production on this, great vid guys!!!!
Much appreciated!
I’m in love with the SP beautiful machine
All of the changes made are going to make this Blade the one to beat in the coming years. The icing on the cake is the aesthetic design, just gorgeous.
beautiful bike, the 600rr aswell
Fantastic Michael 👏👍
Glad to see the blade making a comeback
neevsy brilliant review as all ways. fireblade a work of art . i have a 1997 model amazing bike
You hung on well with the big guys on the track. The satisfaction with the bike shines through.
Patronising
Thanks for bringing me along , felt like I was there !
Best review of the 2024 Fireblade as usual. Thank you Mike.
Neeves should start doing audiobooks and just talk about specs of different bikes 😍
Cant wait for the video against the bmw and the ducati^^
Is America getting this bike and the new 600rr?

Looks and sounds a great bike to own now.Thanks.
Thanks Neevsy. Looking forward to it.
😀
Looks and sounds fantastic. Great to see Honda back in there. 👍
It sure is!
Honda rider for 35 years
A happy owner the Honda 2020 sp
a magic bike . Expensiv but worth every
buck.
Great work as always guys! Can't wait for the top dog shootout. And maybe the 600 shootout? Which would be more like a comparison since there's only two of them now lol

Had the 2009 model. Love a go on this one! Great review.
POV was mind blowing.
Wish Honda would make a naked version. They don't have anything to compete with things like my ZH2SE, Street Fighter V4's and the like. My first bike was CBR 600 F2 so I have a soft spot for them.
Great video! One of the best
Glad you enjoyed it!

Best ever mcn review, so excited for the new blade! RIP to the R1 ( it's a crime)
you've got the canepa style pov shot now!!! WOOOHOOO
finally they make CBR have shorter gearing ratio
Thanks, I have lived long enough for honda not to be a joke.
as a sad yamaha fan, I'm happy for you :(
Honda garbage. How many wins are even placing in the top three in wsbk
@@gabri12fulyou probably ride a chinese moped
@@riderzinc Yeah! Proudly, with your mama on the back.
@@gabri12ful You must be 5 years old lol
Thanks to mcn and neevsey, masters of their craft.
Wow! I really want one of these. 😊
Excellent vid neevesy, at last a honda that could be an mcn superbike group test champ.
im excited to see a comparison between the fireblades ,ape and duca.
I know 200BHP on the road now is much to much but but what would it be like to have as your happy day bike?
Onya cobba , you've got the best 'but" in the business thanks Chief
Thanks for watching
Brilliant video
can i have say to admin please show more the bikes when Michael speaks.thank you
Great review, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Neevesy always a legend, always a great summary......you were keeping McPint honest, then Tommy boy flew by and rapidly closed in on John 😮
best bike in the game
Good morning MCN I was wondering if its possible if you could do another shoot out for 2024 of the liter bikes and supersports
Honda need to go too a V4! They’re running back of the pack in WSBK, and they’re not even on the grid in domestic championships outside BSB. MotoAmerica or ASBK. Soichiro Honda would be shamed of the current state of Honda racing.
Welcome back Fireblade !!!
Damn the gearing looks good so far similar to my old 2001 Daytona when revved out.
awesome review as always
Hi Mike lovejoy here the face book warrior 😂 hope you're well , what are your views on the honda compared to the 2023 bmw m1000rr competition
Man they made a ton of changes.. i hope its more competitive in wsbk
Someone from the media department has been watching the Schaff videos as the track footage has up a level
Thanks for that great test ride
Glad you enjoyed it

A good day was had here...
Yh buddy
All I want now is one of these new 'Blades. Such an incredible motorcycle. Great review, too 👍
What a very pretty bike looks Fab. Let's hope it can win at super bike 👍
Which did you find more comfortable for your size the 600 or the 1000?
Any idea when the 2024 model will hit the US market?
💙 the Fireblade and Honda!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Wish we saw these in MotoAmerica 😕
What was it like chasing Tommy Bridwell and John McGuinness?
Great Review!
What black camo alpinestar jacket is that? Looks cool
Off topic, but can you guys please fix the link to the 2024 Moto Guzzi V85tt review by mike armitage that i can see the title of in a google search, but comes up "page not available" when you try to get to the article?
It's posted now.
Great video,what is it about Hondas ,they just surprise,amazing handling,sizzling engines and thats in comparison to my KTM RC8 and Benelli TNT 1130.The VFR 1200,somewhat modified is the Q bike if ever there was one.
we need a V4
Who will buy it?
People who buy Ducati and also buy every v4 bikes made.
For the quality of reporting this channel provides, I'm surprised you only have 339k subscribers. Just subscrbed. THANK YOU !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My Kawasaki has that same kind of throttle body.....And it's a hell lot of a difference between how you open then and how it sound and goes....
What about the new E-Clutch thingy?
It is almost impossible to get insurance for fireblade SP RRR . Why? non of insurer accept for a new one
I was thinking "Crikey, that looks quick", and then Tommy Bridewell flew past...
What’s the best of these 1000s as a track bike?
One of the benefits of having longer gearbox ratios was that it provided an excuse to tell the police when they pulled you over....."Officer, I was going 120kph?...but I was still in 1st gear.....I'm quite sorry, I will try to be more careful with that now."
Your right on sir your master bike rider like me in CA tulary county kings county
great stuff
When is the cbr600rr video scheduled?
Early next week
@@motorcyclenewsdotcom cant wait for it. hope you have included a sound check😍
@@motorcyclenewsdotcom cant wait for it. i hope you made a quick sound check😍
15:33 Bike screaming around the track
Subtitles: "[Music]"
This or a GSA? (Great video - only Neevesy can make such a stats-fest interesting!)
The design looks like it would have been revolutionary in 2003!
Im pretty sure Honda is actually run by a Batman villain. They simultaneously make the world's most average cars and sensible motorcycles while also making the Blackbird and race bikes that melt your spleen. I've been diagnosed as bipolar, and I definitely see a kindred spirit in them 😅
On the European bike specialness point, it is important to recognise the build quality and reliability of the Honda. They are different, not better, so choose your preferences.
I have both so speak from experience, not bias. Clearly this Fireblade is more than we will ever need up to Superstock racing..
Neeves still can ride even reading googles!
Does it come in righ-hand drive?
Great review!
Thanks!
