hi Justin, I'm Pablo, I've been adrenaline free for 6 hours now.... thank you, thank you....yeeeesss it is due to poor weather conditions, but its a start! just remember, regardless of if the sound is effected, its only relevant vs other even better sounding motorbikes, its still better than virtually any sound in the known universe!!
4:30 mate you've been spoiled by the R1, we don't deserve the R1 Still sounds great, great work getting the bike back on the road, been a lovely series, keep it coming!
All of your complaints sound awesome! I've found that ppls complaints about Hondas is more a matter of what they're used to by riding less refined/quality bikes bcuz they've come to enjoy being a bit scared or out of control riding. That triggers that adrenaline rush. It's "too good" for them. But, to each their own.
That is a fine looking bike! It's great you got it up and running after a ton of headaches. The one I would love to revisit for a weekend is the 2002 CBR600 F4i. I'd love to revisit it as an older guy with better impulse control, self-control, and questionable at times maturity. :) As a 19 year old on it in 2002, it's one of my own wonders of the world how I survived the experience without any formal instruction or mentoring by other experienced and trusted riders.
The CBR600F4i is a great bike. I had one and it taught me how to ride properly while my friends on R6's etc were slower because those bikes were more focused.
This review was OUTSTANDING! I just yesterday I compared the CBR1000 to the ZX-10R and concluded precisely what was mentioned here... seat slightly lower, bars slightly closer in and a tiny bit higher, somewhat relaxed rider position for a superbike. I also noticed you're a serious bicycle rider like me, with your Shimano clipless pedals and disc brake carbon fiber road bike hung on the wall next to you. We seem to have a lot in common, except I'm rim brakes and SpeedPlay pedals, and our accents (Brit vs Americano) are different. Other than those things, very similar traits.
I am happy that you talked about the electronics and their downsites on a, like a would call it, older bike. I just bought a 2024 Honda Fireblade non SP. Primarily because of electronics and looks. Honda did an extremely good job on the newer models especially with the wings. After all research i did before buying it seemed like the right choice over an R1.
@haste953 yup CBRs are very nimble and not so aggressive bikes except the RR-R and would be best for beginners be it the 150 or 250cc CBR for new rider or be it the 650 or 1000 for new superbike riders
I bought my 2021 cbr1000ra abs in August of 2022, with zero miles. It has almost 25,000 miles, now. I’ve been through four sets of tires, countless oil changes, and an air filter. I’ve changed the brake fluid twice, front and back, and I’m about do it again. They did change the electronics to separate wheelie control and traction control, and they both work great. I’m completely opposite, as far as the looks of it go. I don’t like the weirdly aggressive, super sharp angly look of the Zx10r, or the single headlight of the gixxers. The r1 is ok, but the riding position ruins it for me, so I don’t consider it. I love the looks of the sc77. There are some sharp angles, but there are also a lot of really smooth lines, and the combination is ideal, for me. I have the akropavic gp short slipon, and it sounds amazing. There’s nothing like an inline four screaming to 14,000 rpm’s, man. It does something to my soul (or lack of, me being ginger, and all). There have been no mechanical issues. The electronics have always worked flawlessly. Set correctly for your style of riding, they can be just the right amount of intrusive. I’ve felt it pull small amounts of power with a knee on the ground, and it’s really good about stopping spin ups on wet roads without yeeting you into space, but wheelie control will let you find balance point, and ride it a second, if you learn how to manipulate it just perfectly. You’re right about the abs, though. It would be cool to be able to adjust it, but you can disable it completely by just taking the fuse out, or not buying an abs model. It’s crazy light. You have to spend a good bit more to find a supersport that’s lighter, and it feels as light as it is. If it’s a little heavy to tip in for you, setting your suspension up for weight and distribution will help immensely. With a tune, it accelerates violently. Without a tune, I’m accelerating just as fast as friends with s1000rr’s, Zx10r, gixxer thousands, R1’s, and Superduke r’s. The guy I call the most when I want to go do hoodrat shit on public roads has a Superduke r, and he can’t pull away on me, because of the difference in corner exit speed. My chassis is better, overall, so I can enter, hold, and exit corners a good bit faster. Overall, I’ve been extremely happy with my choice. It’s been a great bike, and it will be a great bike after 60-80k miles, when I rebuild it, and keep on riding. I’ll have other bikes after this one, I’m sure, but I’ll have no problems keeping this one indefinitely, save the possibility of some cock pulling out in front of me, and totaling it. I’d really love to see an update in a few months, when you’ve really had time to make it yours, and get it adjusted to fit you better.
the turn signals can be turned off by service executives in Honda's service centers. My father owns a CB350 which had lit turn signals, it annoyed him so once on a routine check-up the turn signals were "fixed".
I've had a 2015 CB500X and currently have 2024 Transalp and that's been my biggest gripe with Honda, the horn and turn signal placement. Other than that love Honda.
Go used, I never thought I'd have a 1000cc superbike. It's a 2007 CBR1000RR, not the newest but also not the oldest. It's more bike than 99% of people can manage (me included) and after a bit of love you could even say it's no worse than some modern superbikes. Mine has basically 0 restrictions and you can still get parts for it everywhere, extremely reliable because it's Honda, still reaches 300km/h same as any modern superbike, it just doesn't have the tech, only an electronic steering dampener and that's it. I paid the same as what a new MT03 would cost lol. I put a quickshifter too and it feels good.
@@haste953thatz a nice bike still have my 04 cbr 1000 first year of production got that bike in 08 still have it to this day not sellin it an dont want none of these new bikes like u sed these bikes run with the best of the new bikes so on that note im not spendin no crazy money on none of these new over tech bikes costin dam near 20 racks im good
I have the same 2018 model, I always hated and wondered why Honda would switch the position of the Horn and Signal buttons. It hit me months later that Honda was actually focusing on being a safe rider than a jerk rider, the easiest to reach button is the lowest one which makes it the Signal button. We need more signaling than Horn in the streets, and if you ever need to curse someone then you can just rev the engine.
My Africa Twin has the same left hand switch cluster and you get used to the horn being there😅. The Selectable Torque Control is very irritating on the AT so I switch it off completely.
Here's an idea for a video topic: Where have nearly 2 generations of people come from who are collectively saying this idea that inline-4 engines are boring and characterless? The question is based in a historical perspective of when this configuration of engine was first designed and put to market.
I've always loved the look of CBR1000R, I dare to say they look aesthetically the best out of the big 4. The design language does seem to take after their cars which, well, not sure if it is a good or bad thing.
As a Honda and Fireblade fan, this bike failed big time because until today, there isnt any easy way to change sprockets or tyre size, other than to throw in a fortune to get the hrc kits.
But after 10 years under the belt, definitely far away from being an expert. For the road I don't want anything above 120hp, I don't even know if I want more than 70hp.
You are wrong, completely, cbr 650r is tourer version of 600rr, there is no sports tourer version of cbr fire blade, the relation is more like R1 and R1M
i got a beatiful british racing green 08 fireblade with forged carbon and angel eyes, i prefer that all day. i think this is designed a little bit boring. love the triple r design tho
It's a great bike. Faster than a gsxr750, but slower than the latest cropping of 200+hp liter bikes. Most people can't even ride their liter bikes to >50% of its capability anyway.
With one costing almost 14.000 Euros second hand from 2017 i doubt this wil be a loved bike in the Netherlands. But every motorcycle is expensive here so there's that
The cbr500r i had was wicked smooth too, and pretty boring TBH! But its tough because some rides you take you want a smooth ride and sometimes you just want it to be like a bat out of hell 😂. If the bike is ALWAYS like a bat out of hell then youll find you don’t want to ride the bike as much, only when in “the mood”. 🤷♂️ And then its like…why am i paying thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars for something i don’t always want to ride 😆
While companies are bragging about the best tech, 200+ hp, variable valve timing for better low mid and top end, some fully electronic suspension, we got Honda and their CBR1000RR Marketing: Pro Link 😎 (my 2007 CBR1000RR has pro link). Honda has the least power, the worst specs, the worst looks (subjective) and very mediocre track record ever since they stopped their 2016 CBR1000RR. They DROPPED THE BEST BIKE THEY EVER DID (CBR1000RR SP) It had over 190 horsepower and weighed like 190kg so 1:1 power ratio, it had fully electronic suspension, it was what the normal CBR1000 should've been, and they dropped it for their Motogp homologation that no one can afford. The CBR1000 literally can't compete with the R1, the ZX10 and the GSXR1000. People called Suzuki outdated but now they're probably the best japanese 1000cc. It's not a terrible bike because it weighs nothing and handles really well but for what you're paying for you're getting an outdated forgotten bike. Kinda like if you went and bought a latest gen z1000 or a zx14r. They forgot about those. I'm not delusional though, I know it's not a bad bike, it's definitely a lot more refined than my dinosaur of a superbike which makes every other 1000cc look like a toy due to its size XD. Also I can't believe it's using the same brake master cylinder as my bike.
What are you talking about in 08 and 09 the cbr 1000rr was the best liter bike out there pretty much came first in every test magazine ect only when the bmw s1000rr came along it made it look like older technology
@@michaelch6536 What are YOU talking about? When did I say anything bad about the 09 or 08? XD. If anything I praised those bikes lol. Read what I said, mediocre track record ever since they DROPPED THEIR 2016 CBR1000RR. That means that everything after 2016 was bad aka the 2017 model onwards which is the bike on the video. I have a 2007 and my friend has a 2015 which is pretty much an 08 but improved in almost every way and I'd take anything from 2006-2016 any day of the week over a 2017+
@@michaelch6536 and to add a bit more the only bike I'd own from that 2017+ generation is the SP which had the more advanced tech and had the 1:1 power to weight ratio. Also I don't mean the RR-R SP Fireblade I mean the bike with the silver frame and electronic ohlins suspension. I best you just read some of my comment and replied instead of reading everything properly, if you read it again slowly you'll see my comment actually agrees with what you said.
7:42 I sure as shit hope that's a dual compound tire because if thats a 3 cm chicken strip I can't take your review serious. A sportsbike review without ever taken a corner in anger is just pathetic.
Nothing wrong with the bike and the rider aids are not really needed compared to previous models so can be turned right down. Factory steel hoses are generally pants anyway. Add fuel, ride without issues. Nothing goes wrong. R1... Engine issues. ZX, boring dash, shitty gearing. GSXR.. almost honda like actually. RELIABILITY... Worst thing about a bike is having it in the shop for little niggles. Fireblade also the cheapest of the 1000cc superbikes. If you want the KTM 1390 or Panigale? feel free to pay 3x the price...
Why would anybody buy a motorcycle you could not haul groceries on. 95% of my motorcycle trips bring groceries home. I don't know about the rest of you, but I drive year around, and have to eat, and am not so rich I can drive into town every single day to eat out at a restaurant. If you're a squid looking to buy a motorcycle, don't be so f00 lish to buy a sport ninja motorcycle like this you can't carry groceries on.

I see your motorbike sounds and I raise you H2 turbocharger tschirp. best sound a bike can make period
The AA meeting got a big laugh from me. Love these reviews.
4:30 mate you've been spoiled by the R1, we don't deserve the R1
Still sounds great, great work getting the bike back on the road, been a lovely series, keep it coming!

I purchased my 2023 SC77 new last year - intake modification, exhaust, and full tune - it's a phenomenal bike.
this bike looks gorgeous. I really need one of these
Maybe I missed the sarcasm but to me the sound is amazing. What a nice inline 4 growl. I personally love that bike.
Thanks for another great video. I think that bike looks really good in black and white - and I love the back to front Honda logos!
That horn on the indicator spot is hilarious 😂
I am jaw dropped at the quality of your videos….as soon as I see a new one I play it and like it before I have watched it. Fantastic channel!
Cant wait for your next project. Another superbike to be restored i guess. Its been fun to see how you fix the problems of the bike.
Love the bike and everything you do in your videos!
I absolutely love the sound i like inline 4 much more than a v or crossplane
Honest and fair review.
The Honda VFR800 is the goat in my regards. V4 engine, 100ish HP, bronze accents galore, single sided swingarm, VTEC baby!
What a smooth video.
That is a fine looking bike! It's great you got it up and running after a ton of headaches.
The one I would love to revisit for a weekend is the 2002 CBR600 F4i.

The CBR600F4i is a great bike. I had one and it taught me how to ride properly while my friends on R6's etc were slower because those bikes were more focused.
It's the best looking Fireblade from the range so far. Definitely on my wishlist for when I get a bigger garage.

I love that you film in Modderfontein. Right in my back garden 😊
this is a best beginner bike if someone wants to start with superbikes after smaller bikes
True, if you have experience and want a fast AF superbike but still aren't sure of near 200hp then the CBR will always be the best choice.
@haste953 yup CBRs are very nimble and not so aggressive bikes except the RR-R and would be best for beginners be it the 150 or 250cc CBR for new rider or be it the 650 or 1000 for new superbike riders

The horn and blinker situation is actually like this on most of Hondas bikes, especially the ones from this time period
the turn signals can be turned off by service executives in Honda's service centers. My father owns a CB350 which had lit turn signals, it annoyed him so once on a routine check-up the turn signals were "fixed".
I would buy one. A matter of fact it is my favorite 1000c bike.

I don’t care what anyone says or thinks, that Honda is a fantastic bike, smooth, fast enough & reliable
So with all that said, how do you compare the R1 with the RR?
LETS GOO THIS GONNA BE A GOOD DINNER
What's for dinner?
why the sound when you on camera and voice over so different? two different mic?
As a Honda and Fireblade fan, this bike failed big time because until today, there isnt any easy way to change sprockets or tyre size, other than to throw in a fortune to get the hrc kits.
I grew up dreaming to have the SC59 Fireblade in the pearl white with tricolor decals.
But after 10 years under the belt, definitely far away from being an expert. For the road I don't want anything above 120hp, I don't even know if I want more than 70hp.
Wonder when I can buy one?
Do you workout? if yes how often ?
where is your R1 on the list?
Is this the perfect beginner 1000cc
Correct me if I'm wrong. CBR 1k RR is the version of the sports-tourer of CBR no?
You are wrong, completely, cbr 650r is tourer version of 600rr, there is no sports tourer version of cbr fire blade, the relation is more like R1 and R1M
Also, it might be nice to give the final results in the form of a multi-axis graph ;)

7:42 I sure as shit hope that's a dual compound tire because if thats a 3 cm chicken strip I can't take your review serious. A sportsbike review without ever taken a corner in anger is just pathetic.
Nothing wrong with the bike and the rider aids are not really needed compared to previous models so can be turned right down. Factory steel hoses are generally pants anyway.
Add fuel, ride without issues. Nothing goes wrong. R1... Engine issues. ZX, boring dash, shitty gearing. GSXR.. almost honda like actually.
RELIABILITY... Worst thing about a bike is having it in the shop for little niggles.
Fireblade also the cheapest of the 1000cc superbikes.
If you want the KTM 1390 or Panigale? feel free to pay 3x the price...
69 minutes 💀
Don't worry you may often look like an asshole but I always look like an asshole and I don't even have a horn on my bike

Hello Justin(Chaos). You must orginize a meetup, think there is a lot of SA bikers who will love to meet and exchange bike stories with you.
Hi Justin, lol.
Why would anybody buy a motorcycle you could not haul groceries on.
95% of my motorcycle trips bring groceries home.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I drive year around, and have to eat, and am not so rich I can drive into town every single day to eat out at a restaurant. If you're a squid looking to buy a motorcycle, don't be so f00 lish to buy a sport ninja motorcycle like this you can't carry groceries on.
Hondas are so boring and low tech. Always behind the curve on every single technology. They only have reliability
