I bought the 2014 6-speed version, all black with the 4 into 1 stainless exhaust. It has more power than I legally use on public roads, it’s smooth and comfortable and dies everything a rider needs it to do. It’s not a sport bike and wasn’t designed to be one. It’s a “standard” and a very good one at that.
in a world where USD forks are the norm, perhaps old school forks can now be classed as inverted
Haha, good point
If it's a golden colour it must be inverted lol
Well what the heck people. Look at the obvious it is a bike meant to ride and feel like the last gen air cooled CB bikes. Of course the RS is not nimble, it is quite top heavy by design. See that big lump on top of it, that is a real fuel tank full of heavy fuel. The frame geometry if favored for ground clearence raising the center of gravity. So by todays standard it is not a nimble machine. Am certain Honda was not aiming for that but instead a retro engined bike with modern and better suspension-brakes. For that idea I would say Honda nailed it.
I might be mistaken, but don't top heavy bikes have better handling?
classy motorcycles are back ! plastics be gone, let's see the bike 😀
Great looking bikes,
I preffered the ex... iloved the looks...the wheels and the higheir bars...i want one...
The red or black would be nice, lots of mods available from Webike Japan.
Great video mr urry
What a great review, I wasn't expecting that opinion but I'm glad I heard it, inverted or not lol.
Nothing wrong with this review. Useful points made about the differences between the two models. And I agree with the previous point made below; when the majority of current medium to high-end bikes have 'upper shock' forks then maybe 'lower shock forks' should now be referred to as inverted or USD.
nice and helpfull video.
Very cool bikes, I like the most of them
Yes. OK. Sort of. Fair points about the difference between chassis. Interesting about the effect of putting 17" wheels into a bike designed for 18"ers.
ESTAMOS ESPERANDO ESSA MAQUINA LINDA AQUI NO BRASIL
Well then, are the forks inverted yet? An update, please.
If you listen to what he's saying he's spot on(forks aside). This is NOT a sporty bike but one for taking relaxing rides. When I see one with a loud pipe or cafe'd out it strikes me how out of character it is with the bike. It's a pleasant, satisfying rider but not exciting.
What is the advantage of inverted forks
Does anyone know what jacket he is wearing?
This video made me buy the 2019 EX Version :)
No regrets! Thanks!
The inverted fork pun surely was on purpose to show Honda the RS model SHOULD have been fitted with said forks to distinguish the two models and make 17" wheels look and feel at home on the RS. Well done!
Why don't all bikes have bench seats, way to go.
Fully agreed
MCN - you do realise that if your footage doesn't come across so well on the first take, you can do it again? I don't blame the reviewer - just typical of MCN's "it'll do" attitude.
Is the rs even in the usa?
the forks are not inverted is this guy really an authority on motorcycles
is it inverted yet?
This review should have been longer comparing in detail the two.
I think the disappointment with the ride on the RS might have been because he didn't adjust the suspension settings front and back.
Good bike
Very good video
Inverted forks?
Hopefully australia gets these bikes. We are severely lacking in NEW muscle bikes.
Agreed.
u kidding me.
Not so much muscle bike, more the return of the UJM
What's the brand of those jeans you have? Thanks for your review, nice one.
0:43 he said the chassy is sportier on the RS. Then at the end of the vid he says it has the same EX chassy, but with 17" wheels. Then says it feels forced to work with the smaller wheels.
Yes the european low emission E4 is at fault for the low powered machines that will be produced in the future, the best combination for Honda in this case is that they should of reborn the CB750 and made it the new RS (CB750RS) not with a big bore engine 1100cc. Which will be priced at 14.150euros here in europe, expensive as hell for a 90BHP 1100cc bike.
But the chassis is a bit different on RS than the on on the EX...
Interesting note on the turning effort on the RS. I've seen other YT videos where the RS is said to be easier to lean & turn than the EX precisely because it has 17" wheels as opposed to 18".
When are Mcn going to review more real world bikes ie sub 500cc.
The best thing about pre technology bikes was that they scared you. I own a Gen 1 Hayabusa, no ABS, no traction control etc. 175 bhp...imagine that in the wet. My heart pounds as i walk up to it and thats how bikes should be. I can overtake anything, and i mean anything, but when that back wheel spins on that white line its adrenalin plus....just saying.
Beauties ❤️
Im not slating modern retros, or modern bikes, i just think making bikes, gonna get moaned at for this "safe" defeats the object. These Hondas are uttery stunning though.
Is that racetrack where the grand tour went?
I think it is!
I might get one of this when I'll be 60.
Beautiful Motorcycle the 1100ex. Does justice to the meaning of "Retro". Though I am disappointed that it does not have traction control in addition to ABS (which it does have). It seems to carry it weight well. And handles better than the New Triumph T-120 on twisting roads and also is air/oil cooled engine (less future maintance cost). I think it is slightly over priced (considering traction control is missing) for a Honda. It would also have been a plus if Honda used a belt drive instead of chain drive (again less maintance and cost of same). Otherwise a definite win of Honda, IMO.
I like their inverted forks. An I prefer the 1100 over the 1100. It feels better.
Can u tour on that bike.
I love this bike why not launch in india
Get the feeling they only had time for one take...
I'm not so tall, so I want to have cb750rs if honda make 750 again.
Very odd editing of this video. Still, none of us can really complain since we consumed this media free of charge.
Love the looks of these bikes but I see three problems: 1) Price, they're overpriced, 2) Weight should have been more like 230-235 kg, 250-255 kg is unnecessarily heavy, and 3) Power, they are no performance bikes but I'd expect 100 hp at least, particularly given the weight.
Not overpriced when you see the quality of build and how little plastic there is on it. The weight is not relevant, it is not a racing machine.
He said, invert at Forks did the same forks exactly like the other bike? He’s just reading a script.
I like the retro naked look, but the Kawasaki z900rs is lighter and still has PLENTY of power. Also I hate spoke wheels. Too difficult to clean. At least they are stainless, which is MUCH better than chromed steel spokes.
The cheaper bike looks better on the spoked wheels
0:37 Sorry there not Inverted forks.
Did he have a bit of a moment there? 2:30
Hategplus crevis Good eye! Yes, it looks like a momentary rear-brake lock-up...we all know how it must look, anyone who's ridden for awhile has done it, the instant release, & how it pops back vertical. The circumstances are all there, wet road, a bit too fast (for the cameras), some rear bias application, an upcoming slow right-hander...I'm surprised the editor didn't notice the riding 'mistake' & edit out the footage.
بسیار عالی
how can i trust a reviewer who doesn´t know what inverted forks are?
the gsx1200y for 5000 NZ looking bettter all the time
Isn't that the guy from Zombieland, but with a beard?
170 mile tank range, really? Why can't they put a bigger tank on to give us 200+ miles. I bet you wouldn't notice a visual difference in size to add an extra gallon. They are not race reps, don't need thimbles for tanks!
I dont think the wheel is stainless is it? Maybe spokes only, hmmm not got a lot of faith in this review if the fork type isnt even known, Ive sort have lost interest.
Anyway Honda should have put 4 pipes on it, it sounds/looks way better.
In fact the old SOHC is just a better bike and its reviewed by someone that knows what hes talking about, just way more interesting to listen too.....or is it just me?
th-cam.com/video/e4LpaOF5IzQ/w-d-xo.html
Instead of blather on and on the bottom line is it doesn't handle any better than a Triumph handles and that's not saying very much
Add 2 cylinder and call it a CBX.
Awesome bikes but a little to pricy for me. If Honda wants to go retro remake the 1980's nighthawk and stay around 10 grand. I'd be all over that.

Rather boring review
im not a fan of the Focus RS what so ever.
Mcn review always a sure thing.
A sure thumb down that is...
Great lookin bike, but too pricey.
Decent review. But please slow done. I can barely make out the accent but when you add the speed of talking I am done!!!
I love the RS but the only flaw I see it that it gives you only 90HP, other than that is a beautiful lovely bike and is a HONDA. Not a very good review and test ... sorry did not like it !!!
Awful review, sounds like he's snorted phet.
The so called reviewer sounds like his mouth is full of gobstoppers, I can hardly understand a word he says. This is the worst review I've seen on youtube for content, presentation and clarity. No surprise the bikes didn't sell well with reviews like this. Glad I bought my RS before I saw this, it's a brilliant bike.
first
Could barely understand what he was saying, are they all on drugs? I've seen reviews from MCN before and it nearly always seems to consist of knee down shots, stunt riding and a crap review... it's like they can't be bothered.
Pathetic review
Speak a bit more relax man...
Could not understand a word this guy was saying. Why is he even doing reviews? And couldn't tell the difference between inverted and traditional forks....fire this guy please.
He also looks like a squirrel with his two front teeth.
damn jim, chills
I already posted that his accent is damn near unintelligible. Is he really British. He sounds like Michael Caine on speed.
Some British are like bread and water, you can live on that but its just emergency! Weird body language, physically not appealing, some got accent you feel like put ear plugs on or switch them off.
What a moronic comment. You should learn English!
