- If you’ve been following my progress in part 1 and 2 you’ll already know I’m turning a Honda CBR 1000RR-R road bike into a race bike… which i’ll be racing in Australia in 2 days time at the St George Summer Night Series.
Come behind the scenes as I finish the build, paint and sticker it up to reveal the final look…

Thanks for watching and a big thank you to everyone who’s been part of this project, especially HEL performance, Honda Australia, BC performance, Van demon exhausts, Billetta Imports, K-tech suspension and my Dao racing team in the UK… lets see how it goes on track!

This short video series has been one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam this year. Well done, Josh. And thanks for taking the time to make the content.
Thanks glad you’ve enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing this build with us looking forward to SATURDAY
Impressive work -- a fella as fast as you who is still handy with the wrenches is a rare thing these days. Well done!
Thanks 😊
I've just finished doing the valve shims on my KTM, so I know everything about 5 minute jobs taking ages
😂
Buzzing to see Josh on a Fireblade! Go well Josh 👌
A very talented man 👏👏
Josh. These videos are brilliant. Best thing on TH-cam.
Thank you, glad you’re enjoying them… part 4 real soon
Fantastic Series Josh. Not many, if any of the top racers could actually build their own race bike. Your mechanical understanding etc must help in the races too. I'm certain you will be on that TOP step again with it. 🏆🏆🏆👑
Great video series Josh, good to see a rider who understands their bike. Glenn Allerton is a handy rider to pop over to help 😊
Side note each sticker adds 1.76hp .........my wife heard your comment that each 5 minute job takes 30 minutes (I've been telling her it's at least an hour)
A bespoke build in its own right 👍
And applying stickers must be one of the best things to do, love it 👌👌
Got to look the part!
Absolutely great, Josh, so enjoyable to watch and the bike looks superb. Very best for the racing. Look forward to the next episode. Greetings from Lincolnshire 💪👌🏆👍👍
Thanks part 4 this week
Stickers worked under supervision of Mrs B 👍
Honestly I love people who respect what stickers can do to make a race bike or car really pop!!!
Love this series Josh, thanks for taking us on a ride.
“Brilliant short video series! Josh”. Such an easy person to listen too! I & all following, I’m sure are Look forward to watching you race next season.
Best of luck for 2025 👍🏻 🏍️💨 onward & upward!
I never new you are so good with the spanners, but add in spraying. Wow, total respect mate 👌
Thanks 👍
"I think it's important that you feel good about how the bike looks" Thank you Josh, no one understands me when i say something similar to this, although probably not so relevant at your amazing level dude. Be safe & have fun with the racing.
i'm going to use your tiger stripe pattern for my next race bike wrap theme...but paintjob looks good.
Josh, its very nice to see riders like you that you doing these things alone, some of the riders cannot setup even the chain tension on they bikes. The bike is not tuned for the exhaust system? Keep making videos like this in the future as well. Greetings from Slovakia
Great series I hope we get more racing vids, you have insane skills man painter engineer, fabricator, top racer bikes looks sick AF
It looks awesome I think! This series has been so good, we need more of bike mech Josh!
Nice one Brookesy, looks mega 👌 . Have a great series, loving the Vids too 👍 .
I think you have a soft spot for Honda.l remember you and crusty Ferguson back in the day duking it out looking forward to see you wring its neck at eastern creek.
am actually really enjoying this series. i really hope your going to do well at BSB next season. hope to see u back on podium asap. GL!
This series has been great to watch so far, it's becoming more & more evident with each video how much more comfortable you are becoming infront of the camera. Great work Josh 👍
Great vids of the progress of your race bike Mate!
Well done Josh best video on TH-cam right now, fingers crossed it goes as well as it looks. Good luck fella ✊🏻💨💨🏁🏆
This is cool, really enjoyed this content
I know you tinker at old motocross bikes, would love to see some of those builds too
Cheers
Loving the bike build Josh, good luck with that beast on the track ✊
Bike looks mega!!!
Absolutely amazing Josh 👌 can’t wait to see it on Track !
Fun series to watch. Your paint looks good. I club race and buy a bike from CoPart to rebuild each off season to race the next season. In the last two years, I built a ‘22 R1 and ‘23 Panigale V4S to race. This off season building a ‘24 V4R.
Very modest Mr Brookes. That looks very good 😎 amazing to have all the skills to build a great race bike 👏
Really enjoyed these videos Josh, bike looks good. All the best for the night series and 2025 BSB👍👍👍
Josh the bike looks well and sounds well too you have made a nice job of it and you are very hans on too can’t wait too see it out on track too looking forward too the next one
Josh, well done mate, that looks fantastic 👍🏻
Looking good mate 👍🍻🏁
Looking forward to see you thrashing it.
Happy racing mate 👍 🏁
Well done Josh, really turned out well mate.
Love that you’ve got a cricut and made your own stickers, I designed and cut the stickers for my race bike too!
Some machine now! Harda beat the blades!!
Love a good bike build video! Looks fantastic. Hope she goes just as well.
Part 4 will be the first time on track 😬
Brilliant bike that was a top notch series and GOOD LUCK in the Summer Night Series Josh
Loving this JB. Don't smash it up ay!!
Good job mate 👊
Bike looks fantastic Josh. Great job. Love this content
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm really impressed
This is epic mate 👌
Just gone through the same journey. Satisfying. Great work. 👏💪
Come on Josh , I hope that exhaust bracket is not permanent.😱
Fantastic work Josh. Fingers crossed for the first ride / race. Very enjoyable series of videos. Keep up the good work.
This is great Josh! Bike looks mega
The bike is looking really good 👍 the amount of effort you have put in and explained the process has been really interesting, keep up the good work josh , now ready for the next one😀
Visio is great love it .good luck in the racing .
Hope to see you in B S B in 2025 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice job on the bike!! Looks sharp to my eye. I think it is great seeing a rider who gets stuck in and works on the bike. Mechanical sympathy is very important. On thumb brakes I believe some like to use a little mid corner to help settle the bike too. I like to use it on the road if I am a little overspeed entering a corner as it is easier for a mere mortal to trail brake that way. And obviously at race lean angles the foot brake may be inaccessible.
Bike looks awesome well done, can’t wait to see how the race weekend goes
Great job champion 👍
Great work josh. Looking forward to seeing you and the bike on track.
Good outcome on the weekend racing. Good work.
Look out for part 5… will be all about a set up
Looks sick mate best of luck !!
Great watch so far, you’ve done a cracking job with it 👌
Bike looks great 👏
Looks good man 🎉
It looks awesome!! I'd buy that livery if I spotted it in a showroom
thanks for uploading this very interesting and entertaining video series Josh. enjoy your racing and have a great Xmas.
she’s quality Josh kidd liken it son 🤛🏻🔥💯💪🏻
Looks great Josh. That Exhaust sounds nice too.
Loving these videos mate, good luck on track.
Bike looked fantastic ,proper job 👏 👌 There was a distinct lack of tears & bad language which is normal for anything i do on the bike 🤣
😂
Great video series Josh. Really enjoy watching them. Interested to see more about engine tuning and suspension tuning going forward. I’d also like to know more about costs. Not what you paid but what it would cost for someone interested in going down this road. Keep up the great work 👍
Look out for part 4 & 5 😜
Man that looks like a flyer💪🏴
Oh mate by the way... TT 2025??
looking good kid
All caught up now - serious dude, if you did all that building of the bike on your own (or even most of it) then that's pure mental in my head - fair play to ya. 😎
It’s just been me 👍🏼
@@joshbrookes25 Good work and and all the best for the racing 👍😎
Just out of curiosity Josh, what will happen to that bike when you come back to the UK? Will you keep it in Aus, sell it restore it to road spec??
You've done an excellent job with it and it's obviously time consuming and expensive to build, just nosey as to where she'll go.
Not sure yet!
Hi Josh great work on the bike she's so cool . Nice to see a racer of your calibre able to do what you have done .
My question is I also have a Hel master cylinder what remote span adjuster have you used as I didn't think Hel did them ?. Please and thank you . Looking forward to seeing you ride this bike and your bikes next year hopefully with a competitive package 👍.
Bike looks great! Good luck.
Q. Do you hope to ride the TT next year?
🤞🏼
Hey josh,bike looks the dogs bollocks mate,so impressed how you've built it yourself,well done,will you be putting the races up on the channel,looking forward to following how you do ,really enjoyed the journey so far .👍🙏
❤👍
Next video will be Tuesday with the race event but if you follow my social media over the weekend we will post as much as we can live
Great update Josh everything you have done looks good ,are you going to race this in BSB 2025 ? be nice to see the process of you shipping all your stuff to the UK
No, not this bike. I’ll be racing a Honda in bsb but with DAO racing
Nice threads Josh
Josh❤ I learned a lot from the videos with the Tripel R👍
but I have a question...do you not use a "Gear Shaft Support (Shiftholder)"...?🤔 ...Thank you and best regards from Frankfurt Germany...😉
I take it Josh high end performance part are not made in Australia or is it you are using parts that you know from the UK
Nice to see you spinning a few spanner’s
Both, I’ve sourced parts here in Australia via Billetta imports, van demon exhausts and hel performance but also via my Dao team, k-tech etc in the UK also.
Spiderman bike limited edition 😂 looks great mate
🕷️
Nice job, done under limited time. Who's in charge of the electronics?
Might of missed it but is team allowing back to the TT to ride for teams or are they supporting you over there too?
What gearing are you running over standard Josh?
Love these vids they’re ace 🙌🏻
Depends on the track but I’ll start with 15/43 for eastern creek
Rear sets with fixed foot pegs or fold up foot pegs?
How do you make this decision?
Tnks master 🙏
Was hoping that you where going to wipe the exhaust down before starting it 🤦😆.
Hey Josh, why you've used vandemon over akra or arrow?
Hi Josh Haven't you change the front calipers? Did I Saw wrong?
Yeh I plan to use the Hel ones but as mentioned in the video the ones that arrived didn’t fit so waiting on the replacement 👍🏼
@joshbrookes25 Sorry Josh but this Brembo are more than great, IS your option really best?
What’s wrong with the stock calipers ?
I'm also interested in that...🤔
Stylema® R TECHNOLOGY
Stylema® R boasts exceptional lever stroke stability - particularly noticeable in heavy use conditions - which guarantees exceptionally consistent performance, even on the track.
The new configuration of its internal components is highlighted by the special, racing-derived pistons. These have radial ventilation holes that help to reduce the temperature of the brake fluid: another factor that enhances performance stability on the track. These features, combined with an air outlet in the central bridge, enhance the flow of air around the pads and make the caliper perfectly compatible with any dynamic air intake.
im disappointed in this video.... but only because its the last part of the build series. I enjoyed all three episodes and looking forward to seeing it on the track..
Don’t worry there’s a couple more to this series coming yet 🤟🏼
"It's the 2025 TT and Josh Brookes in a last minute dicision has put his self built superstock through scrutineering" "Josh Brookes wins the Superstock race on his self built a CBR" AWESOME!!!
😂👍🏼
Josh I need a couple of wings painted on my old Mercedes could you do me a favour? 🎨 🖌
A little busy at the moment 😜
