@@j.cameronbrett2660 Except for lame Audio. In the words of Paul Bertorelli from the AvWeb aviation channel: Good Audio Makes Good Video. Three ways The Bike Show can obtain A's on their report card (instead of Needs Improvement): 1) lower the volume or decrease the decibel (s) between the Intro/Exit theme and the spoken word portions of each segment (listen using earbuds and report back on your experience); 2) eliminate the Repetitive, Intrusive, Pseudo-music track(s) laid down when Harry, for example, is narrating (music is information...just ask your favorite ENT or Audiologist or Neurologist); 3) use Clip-On, battery-powered Microphones, just like those news professionals on TV do (Audio Fidelity is not the name of a the nextdoor neighbor's marriage encounter group).
So its got half the spec of a mid range commuter, half the midrange of certain competitors (RSV4, S1000RR, GSXR1000 and so on), no more power than at least a couple of its competitors and a joke price which is pretty close to where the H2 launched just a few years back. No boost, no direct injection, no ultra lightweight, no high tech at all and still a massive price hike.

Or if you must spend this kind of cash why you wouldn't choose one of the other options?
When they get what they have asked in the previous generation, they start asking for that what they had in previous generation. Stop complaining, this is the best super bike available today. 230kmh in second gear, long gearing is awesome, meaning top speed will be out of this world. 340 at least.
Top speed is not really what youre looking for on a bike but the longer gearing should give you some advantage on the track. And that is where it should be moved, on the Track, not on the road. I prefer a bike for the road, so I would go with the 2017 model but I cant complain because the older models are now way cheaper because of the mighty 2020 Fireblade....
Great video on the new Honda Fireblade. Really cuts to the chase and giving an informed opinion. I liked the recap on the history of the model and the guys making the video don't run with the usual hype that can come with Honda bikes thats not always justified.
I think the older fire blades were made with feedbacks from Dani Pedrosa so they were calm and user-friendly. The 2020 Fireblades built in association with Marc Marquez so out comes the mad monstrous machines
This is marketed as a race bike. In what racing competition do the bikes not have quickshifters? Not sure about WSBK but MotoGP bikes also have auto blippers.
Lets be real: A propper tune will easily fix the low end power problem, be it, it will be VERY expensive to get this tuned, and it will be a PAIN in the ass. Seriously them making exhaust systems for this bike is nearly a joke.
The SP is the track weapon. The base version is for the people who never track it, but rather want the fastest Honda/bike-on-their-block. The base model doesn’t need a quick shifter for that reason, but even more so because it hits 100 MPH in first gear. Quick shifters work best at certain RPM ranges(typically high in the rev range). See where this is going? I know this is all opinion, but I think it’s pretty clear that a bike that doesn’t even need to shift is being slammed for not having a quick shifter on the base model which is almost exclusively purchased by street riders.
I REALLY REALLY HOPE.... the stock version gets a quickshifter, and let me just add I have the MY2017 blade and with just a little ECU flash from woolich my blade is up to 203hp, stock pipe, stock filter.
Lmao that's bs . You must have some head work done to it and some nitrous to get them numbers out of a 2017 cbr 1000 . They come stock with 189 to the crank . So about 165 maybe 170 hp at the wheel . And with a flash and them mods you got maybe 180 to the wheel . Just quit with the bs we all know that's a lie .
It was made for usability. Fast bike true corners, what more do you need. Speed in corners is all. Small bike is good for racing. Bike without aids is on you, so if you want to learn, lees aids create pure experience and connect you to machine. It is on you, how you ride it, and for professional rider, it is awesome.
The fireblade was built on comfort and agility. It was always the point of keeping up in the 600 class of weight while having the power of a 1000. As it gets harder to do that eventually they will do speed and power then lose the idea of comfort.
Tadao baba made the bikes up to 2002. All of the bikes showed top while kept the comfort. From then on they kept fighting with competitors and now they have just lost the idea of the fireblade being what it used to be named after.
The guy literally has the same helmet (Scorpion Exo R1-Air Bautista replica) and boots (Gaerne GP1 Evo Melandri Replica) as me! What are the chances of that happening

Probably just my opinion. Tons might agree or disagree. But to this day in my eyes the last great sport bike/super bike from Honda was the RC51. Nothing really wrong with any other models they’ve made on the CBR line, solid bikes. Just not that GREAT.
@@paultanton4307 that's why I don't respect them as a motorcycle company how they don't bring down MotoGP, WSBK tech like Aprilia, Ducati and Yamaha, Kawasaki They just make a bike that can turn the most profit to it's customers.
Theres surely a limit as to how much Trickle Down Tech the Market can support - the new Blade is pretty much regarded as being too expensive,the Superbike Class is a shrinking sector anyway sales wise,if there was a Middle option between the RC213VS and the Fireblade cost wise would it sell in the right numbers ? I doubt Honda think so.
Huge mistake not using the RC213V V-4. After owning a Desmo Stradale 1103-cc V-4 in the new Ducati StreetFighter, all i can say is a V-4 is incredible good!!! The sound track is worth the price of admission!! V-4 are Glorious!!! Butter Smooth!!! Disgusting power everywhere!!!
It will be interesting to see if Ducati can break into the top 5 with their improvements. Don't forget that the 2017-2019 CBR1000RR SP was running some of the fastest laps at different tracks vs. other superbikes in reviews. Simply because it is the fastest 600. It can carry so much more speed in corners. Now with it improved in every way and still has that 600 cornering ability it is going to be tough to beat. But you are leaving out one bike that has turned laps faster than the R1 is the GSXR1000R.
@@yahtotv5492 that Aprilla turns best. And it's going to be revamped with a 90 degree opposing engine that will bump the hp up. There using in Moto GP this year and it's getting good test results now, sad there no racing .
Honda is back with a vengeance in WSBK and all the major national SBK around the world. And talking about WSBK , Honda (HRC) is damn serious about winning the title even if it may take a few years...
I have a 12' as well. It's the best street bike 1000 you can get. Light, super quick and handles like a 600. The power is about perfect. Hits hard and rips the front end up at will. Lovely bike! Dont sell, It will be worth crazy money in the future. It's a classic.
So, is calling the new Fireblade the “Dash R” now acceptable? As in, “What’ll you be riding today?” “I’m going to take my Dash R, you?” “Wow, you’ve got the Dash R sorted out already?” “Yep, let’s swing by the café, Bob wants to see the Dash R, then we’ll head for the canyons.” “Brilliant! Can’t wait to see what the crowd thinks of that Dash R when you roll in to the café; see you, see you then.”
Honda Sportsbikes are slow, without a doubt but they are much more reliable. I have a 2016 600cc, I use it daily to work. I do get the occasional maintenance like oil change and etc but nothing serious like electrical problems during some time.
And they stick a 50k (AUD) price tag on it, so now Honda has answered the consumers' request, but made it inaccessible to 99% of them, what's the point lol...how many V4R do you see on the street? None.

From 189 to 214 Hp.. Honda Honda Honda .

R&D team: how many R do you want?
Honda big boss: Yes.
*I can't wait to see the Lap Times* :D I think
1. BMW S1000RR
2. CBR1000RR- R
3. Ducati V4s
4. Aprilia RSV4
5. Yamaha R1
It will be interesting to see if Ducati can break into the top 5 with their improvements. Don't forget that the 2017-2019 CBR1000RR SP was running some of the fastest laps at different tracks vs. other superbikes in reviews. Simply because it is the fastest 600. It can carry so much more speed in corners. Now with it improved in every way and still has that 600 cornering ability it is going to be tough to beat. But you are leaving out one bike that has turned laps faster than the R1 is the GSXR1000R.

@@yahtotv5492 that Aprilla turns best. And it's going to be revamped with a 90 degree opposing engine that will bump the hp up. There using in Moto GP this year and it's getting good test results now, sad there no racing .
ZX10r
@@yahtotv5492 That new GSXR1000R surprised everybody with it's power
But old cbr 1000rr looks damn good 👍😎😍😍😍😍.
Very Nice Review .
Telling the truth about Honda, and showing us that this at last does the business!
Honda is back with a vengeance in WSBK and all the major national SBK around the world. And talking about WSBK , Honda (HRC) is damn serious about winning the title even if it may take a few years...
Perfect helmet for the bike!!!
my 2012 fireblade is till scary fast as hell
I have a 12' as well. It's the best street bike 1000 you can get. Light, super quick and handles like a 600. The power is about perfect. Hits hard and rips the front end up at will. Lovely bike! Dont sell, It will be worth crazy money in the future. It's a classic.
Love it 🔥🔥🔥
Meri sapno ki rani kab aayegi tuuuu CBR1000RR FIREBLADE 😊😘👑👑👑❤❤❤Dream Bike
It would be even lighter and quicker, maybe a little cheaper if the manufacturer could just figure out a way of reducing all those R's.
@5:41 WTF? Thats last years dash you Goon!
Your right, the Triple tree also gives that away
I wish we have CBR250RR in the Phipippines
So, is calling the new Fireblade the “Dash R” now acceptable? As in, “What’ll you be riding today?” “I’m going to take my Dash R, you?” “Wow, you’ve got the Dash R sorted out already?” “Yep, let’s swing by the café, Bob wants to see the Dash R, then we’ll head for the canyons.” “Brilliant! Can’t wait to see what the crowd thinks of that Dash R when you roll in to the café; see you, see you then.”
All model of CBRs ever was more pretty of category 1000cc, and famous ♥️!!
Honda Sportsbikes are slow, without a doubt but they are much more reliable. I have a 2016 600cc, I use it daily to work. I do get the occasional maintenance like oil change and etc but nothing serious like electrical problems during some time.
Maybe Honda was tired of hearing about the H2, so they said, "keep your supercharger, we dont need it"
lovely looking bike but better more affordable sports bikes out there.
Minha proxima moto 🙏🏻
Man how nice would that be in black.
Sick bike 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice😘😘😘 CBR 1000rrr
Waiting for the CBRRR1000-RRR-RR-R
I still no bike😥😥
Fireblades were never about outright power
JAPANESE made Power+technology+RELIABILITY 💪💪💪💪
me: how do you know this bike is so fast?
salesman: it has so many R on it..
The 954 was the best all round sports bike of the time period
Máquinas lindas👊🤝
And they stick a 50k (AUD) price tag on it, so now Honda has answered the consumers' request, but made it inaccessible to 99% of them, what's the point lol...how many V4R do you see on the street? None.
Can’t believe Honda haven’t fitted this bike with Quickshifter and Blipper from factory!! Crazy
