I had a gen 1 cb1000r for couple years when Honda published it. Easiest bike to wheelie ever with really even torque cross wide range of rpm and really good city bike. Ended up getting zx-10r after it since it was really lacking on ground clearance and suspension was bit soft even after some tuning. But fun street bike!
If you're saying the rear shock is soft, that is the reason the steering feels flighty under quick throttle applications. Adjusting the suspension preload to get the correct sag front and rear for your weight and then adjusting the rebound damping to rise nice and slow will make a world of difference to begin. Next adjust the compression damping on the front for brake dive support and the rear compression damping for acceleration support.
I love the round headlight , no plastic, the gas tank look beautiful, very retro sport, looks aggressive, would have liked the lower sitting positioned to gas tank.
I'm with you on the buzz, I also didn't feel next to nothing when I tried one. It's definitely my favourite litre naked . The MT is awesome but more aggressive than this one not to mention more trips needed to the fuel station. I tried this bike in 2018 and feel it's gone under the radar for so long now and is just started to get properly recognised. Good work there chaps!
Brilliant bike. Looks tidy, powerful enough for anyone.small screen helps with the weather, does not have to be big. The suspension is made for just knocking about. This is not a sports bike but you can have plenty of fun. Tune the suspension for faster handling and it works !
I loved this bike too. I agree that paint on this one is a bit lairy. I did my test on a red one and love the candy paint. It'd be my pick of the bunch for sure.
I have a 2019 in red, it's beautiful. Has the big stock exhaust on it. The system on this one is what I'm upgrading too. The exhaust is the only thing I think needs changed, nothing else to take issue with. Excellent bike👍
i think is the prettiest bike in the streets. i love the modification in the single swing arm it looks so awesome like that. is a shame that we are so poor here in Argentina. i have myself a Honda xr 250 and here is not the cheapest bike
Sorry to hear these new bikes are not affordable for the working lads in your country. But a 2nd hand CB400 is a sweet ride too maybe as a next step. 😊
I own one and the rear shock is..... junk and it does need a steering stabiliser with the short wheelbase. Everythhing else is fantastic. Love the bike.
@@motobob shock is in transit and taking forever with corona virus slowing the world down. No steering stabilizer as yet as there isn't a cosmetically pleasing option that I have seen.
Stanley Blazeraznik give me the early 80’s bikes any day. Loved the red and white ‘83 CB1100F. That’s the way I think bikes are supposed to look, not the cuts and edge styling (spaceship) of today’s bikes. I bought a new Suzuki GS1100E (red of course) in ‘83 and paid $3495. Can’t even get a 300cc bike today for that. This one does look awesome though .
@@aapddd I don't know any other flat plane inline 4s that sound like this honda. But the Yamaha R1 cross plane has a nice sound. Penigale V4, Honda VFR also have V4s with a nice rough sound.
@@aapddd the bmw s1000rr has a rough-ish sound even though it's a flat plane i4. Lots of pops and crackles on that bike. Maybe give the triumph's triple engine a listen, they are like an inline 4 but pulse-ier?
2:07 For me this is a good compromise between looks and practicality. It leaves the tail of the bike free, which looks great, but affords some protection from spray on wet roads. I have a CB650R and love the way that bike looks too, but the tail section lets it down. I’ve held off from putting on a tail tidy as I don’t want to get soaked in the wet. If I could get this sort of solution at a reasonable price for the 650r, I’d be all over it. Once again, great video - always enjoy the production and bringing @rarefiedroad in occasionally offers a good balance of opinions. Keep up the good work!
I've had my previous generation model (which I prefer to the new one) for 5 years and while other bikes may come and go this one will never leave. Bollocks to the buzziness. Mine is glass smooth.
Great bike, nice design and ride..., but I ended up purchasing the Kawasaki Ninja H2 instead a few months back (perhaps because I also owe an amazing Green Kawasaki ZRX 1200 from 2003). Cheers, and thanks for sharing this.
My perfect daily rider. Now they just need to depreciate by half and I could afford one 😥 edit: Oh wow that's a coincidence. My current bike is a 2015 GSXS750 and it also has an engine from 2006....
I like it a lot, the fact its not dripping in teck is a plus in my opinion, I'm a little old school, Keyless, rider modes, TV dashboard, over complicated suspension, dosent interest me much. But I was never much into video games! So maybe that explains it.
Just the mirrors that I don’t like but rest of it’s gorgeous , I got the 2017 blade and I’m in love aside from the slip on from the last owner , had to get a full titanium system that looks like yours
Test rode that bike last fall. Buzzy as all get out. My hands and feet started going numb on the 40 minute test tour. The other Japanese nakeds didn't do that to me...
I have a FZ1 (2008) for five months. Best sprung bike I have ever had. Comfy with safe power in 1st and 2nd. Proper scratching tool. Engine is great, no buzzing like these guys are describing.
I had a 94 cbr900rr, just picked up an 05 cbr1000rr. I really really want the 2019 cb1000r because it's kinda the same but easier to maintain without the plastics, and better suited for the type of rider I want to be anyway. I really have no business on the 178 hp repsol, but damn they are all awesome. I'm IN love with Honda Moto right now if you can't tell.
Well guys, great video thanks! I am a er mature biker aka an old fart and I have had loads of bikes over the years, nearly all Japanese and Yamaha and Honda mainly. Well last month I purchased an almost-new CB1000R in red and I LOVE HER!!! Light, quick, wonderful handling and great looks too. Fitted a Leo Vince can and I will soon fit a BMC air filter. LOVELY bike!!
Nice review, Gentlemen! As for the bike, I like it. I like it a lot. As an owner of a Z900RS, I guess you could say I suffer from vanity :-) I think Honda have done a sterling job with the looks of the CB1000R, particularly when you stack it up against the much more expensive (admittedly more powerful and no doubt the winner on the track) Ducati Streetfighter V4. Where the Streetfighter looks like a cross between a fridge and cobra, somehow Honda have designed the CB to be angular AND curvaceous in just the right proportions in my opinion. It looks efficient, neat and compact, while pleasing the eye with some rounded-edges on the tank and the single-sided swing arm. Lovely! And if it rides as well as you say, for a PCP price of a hundred quid a month, that is a winner in the real world. Who'd buy the Streetfighter? It's not going to work any better on the road, and for a little more money the panigale would be the best bang for the track...Nice.
I'm in a masive fight with myself over whther to get this or the Z900RS. both are absolutely stunning machines. guess I'll just have to rob a bank and get both!?
I’ve had mine 10 months now done 6000 miles the quick shifter is the best on any bike I’ve tried I changed the tyres 1000 miles ago to the new metzler roadtec 01 SE and they have transformed a all ready great bike into a brilliant bike the sterling is so much quicker now and now worry’s in the rain now
@@stephenlangford3348 I realize I changed my photo but it was Blue Devil actually My old self was active when the 82d was regimentally organized. 3/504PIR AATW!
Great timing, as Dobles in Coulsdon have a 0% APR 4 year deal. £145 deposit, £145 a month subsequently and £1000 contribution towards the deposit. You're left with the balance to pay after 49 months, I believe.
That is a good looking Honduh at long last. The older model wasn't actually bad, that goofy looking rear wheel just ruined it. This reminds me of my old ZRX with a better paint job. Perfect for sporty road riding. Would make me happy to see in the garage too.
I have the blackwidow full exhaust and it's loud without dbkiller. With dbkiller is a more bearable but I don't like the way it sounds, not deep enough. So now I have 2 dbkillers one on the intake and another on the exit of the muffler.
Surely it will have good exhaust sound , because its 4 in line and can reach easily reach to 3500 to 9000 rpm with harmonic balance of distribution , no vibration , its an old old school theory , japanise use short stroke conrod arm to keep rpm reach easily to make up to optimum
The only things I don't like is the dash and that little cowling. I dig the retro styling and that rear aluminum subframe is so gorgeous. Can Honda make an 800cc triple engined bike similar to this? Have they ever made a triple? That would shake the MT09 sales a bit wouldn't it?
@@motobob Not yet. My policy is to not make any alterations to a new bike for one full year. Got my eye on the full Akrapovic system from the blacked out custom you showed a pic of.
@@jaromor8808 Yeah, it's not actually bad, I'm excited about the weight savings of getting rid of that massive cat and resonator assembly underneath the bike. And I'm not such a fan of the styling of the stock can. It's decent looking as Euro5 exhausts go, but, I hate European bureaucracy and everytime I look at it, all I see is Junker and Verhofstadt sticking their noses in my business LOL!
A beautiful bike and reliable too. I agree a less flashy colour scheme would be my choice. Now what has happened when 143 hp might not seem like much? Are we mental? Plenty and more power. Cheers!
Lol I know right! 143hp is a lot of gogo for public roads...The riders who say it ain't enough usually can't exploit a fraction of it anyway....modern times, enough is never enough.
The tiny blond Dutch girl travelled thousands of miles ALONE in out of the most hostile violent countries in the world with a 24 hp. Enfield. no support vehicles like the five 2ton 4X4 trucks with doctors, mechanics, Camera men and a Chef , a parts supply like BMW dealer on "The long way 'round" and "Long way down" more pitiful was electric bikes to Patagonia it was scary and emotional for them, a testy girlie spat ensued ! Ho Hum, little Dutch girl had already been there done that alone. Itchy boots TH-cam. Regards.
I'm in the market for a new bike, it's between this and a 2020 Street Triple RS, I know the only thing they really have in common is they're nakeds but I really like them both. Test rode both and each are great for what I want to use them for, weekend hooning, no track days, occasionally riding to work on it. Personally I think the CB1000R+ looks better but the Triple RS is better equipped. Disregarding the cost which one would you buy and live with? (not interested in the Speed Triple, I know that may be a better comparison in terms of power but it don't do it for me)
I hesitated for a long time between this one and the Suzuki gsx-s 1000 last year and ended up picking the Suz for the price difference (about €2,000). I love my bike but I still think the Honda looks a bit greater and is much more High tech. Definitely these bikes love the REV and I'm happy that I'm in a country where very high speed is not a problem!
the paint scheme ..... hands down the best
So 80’s ... makes me think about the Gulf theme tbh
I agree looks sexy
Same colors as the Bmw scheme
I thought it was bmw
Reminds me of my CB1100F back in the 80s
I had a gen 1 cb1000r for couple years when Honda published it. Easiest bike to wheelie ever with really even torque cross wide range of rpm and really good city bike. Ended up getting zx-10r after it since it was really lacking on ground clearance and suspension was bit soft even after some tuning. But fun street bike!
Sad to see none knows u here, glad to know u ride man
I read this with a Finnish accent.
Honda would sell double the units if they offer that paint scheme along with the rear seat cowl and wind deflector. Looks awesome!
This colours are perfect for Honda. 10/10.
That colour scheme is doing it for me.. Making it almost feel like a cafe racer on my uneducated eyes..
If you're saying the rear shock is soft, that is the reason the steering feels flighty under quick throttle applications. Adjusting the suspension preload to get the correct sag front and rear for your weight and then adjusting the rebound damping to rise nice and slow will make a world of difference to begin. Next adjust the compression damping on the front for brake dive support and the rear compression damping for acceleration support.

Love the 80's paint scheme. Makes me think VF750F Interceptor, the bike that drew me into motorcycling! Honda should sell this paint scheme!

Great looking bike apart from the awful number plate holder! l saw a black one fitted with a tail tidy and it totally transformed the look.
Great bike amazing paint scheme on yours. Can't wait to get mine
Nice review, it is indeed a roadbike, meant to suck up potholes etc. Not everyone needs a track weapon.
I have the blackwidow full exhaust and it's loud without dbkiller. With dbkiller is a more bearable but I don't like the way it sounds, not deep enough. So now I have 2 dbkillers one on the intake and another on the exit of the muffler.

They should make that paint an option. Looks amazing
I'm not a Honda fan, but this thing looks so much better than any of the other Japanese nakeds. I'm tempted :-)
Honda's version of the Ducati Monster
My thoughts exactly!
Great video guys!
