    I really like these bikes. I bought an MT10 but I was teetering on one of these. At least I can watch your videos and effectively own both! The Honda is a pretty machine. I looked at a Z900RS as well and a Ducati Scrambler 1100 (which I also bought). I think you made the right choice for you and you got that beautiful single sided swingarm which I don’t have.

    Ridden 3 of these now and it’s a great road bike. I found them quite snatchy on the throttle, especially in Sport mode, but plenty of low down power and the QS/Blipper is excellent. That Termi pipe looks really good👌

      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes buddy, I found in sport mode at lower speeds the throttle response was a bit snatchy but ok when pushing on, I’ve kept it in normal mode whilst I’m running it in and throttle response is way smoother, termi pipe is maybe my favourite, just need to make sure the baffles can be removed 😜

I adjusted the lever to be closer to the grip to avoid it hitting the signal unit and it works fine.

    Tried this myself from John Banks last year. Didn’t think it was worth the original price, but presumably they have not sold as well as hoped (like the 2017 Africa Twins) hence the sudden dealer deals. Even the VFR 800 is only £9999 now. Nowhere to put any luggage apart from a tank bag or rucksack, so to me it’s a town machine only. Not practical for any great distance.

    Lovely bike, I am considering upgrading from a Ninja 650 to a CB1000R. As the CB is an inline 4 as opposed to the Ninja being a parallel twin I was wondering what is the low to mid range pull like in the CB as I enjoy this in the Ninja as it is very useful around town. Please can you let me know as apparently in Road mode the power is reduced in 1 & 2 gear. Thanks

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks mate, I ride in town loads and power delivery is good and in the lower 2 modes the throttle response isn’t too snatchy and power is plenty! The real power is to be found in the upper rev range which I have not explored yet as only just had my running in service, you will only know whet you think when you test ride one, cheers, Grant

And hopefully getting a V4 Streetfighter sometime next year, funny thing is I thought I wouldn’t be excited to ride the CB but I find it as much fun as the Monster and there are things about it I like more then the Monster ie- Brakes, Gearbox etc, and also the heated grips to keep me warm 😜

    Hi G Man: I’ve just bought a 2019 CB1000R + in metallic grey. Fantastic bike
    Not as keen on using the Q/Shifter going down the box, as I am going up it; I still prefer to use the clutch and blip the throttle.
    I’ve also swapped the chrome rad guard for an EvoTech one in black + R&G tail tidy.
    Also prefer the standard mode to Sport. The throttle is smoother around town
    Enjoy the bike 😊

    How do you get a CB1000R Plus for GBP 130/month for a couple of years? That comes out to
    3,1230GBP plus deposit of 500GBP. I love the bike but that math doesn't add up. In Canada, the base version is CDN$15,000 and it costs $636/month with no down payment for 24 months at 2.9% finance rate. If I want 60 months then it's $283.37/month @6,49% Honda Financing.
