Nice! Always cool to hear from real owners and hear their feedback on changes from one generation to the next as you can say a lot more than someone that just hops on it and logs a few miles etc. Quick shifters should come standard on everything, soooo much fun lol!
that's apple and orange. I have a 2021 Supersport same engine as the 2022 monsters, V twin sound and feel makes u smile, but if u like smooth acceleration thrill then the CBR1000R inline 4 is better.
I almost pulled the trigger on the black edition but it’s almost 2022 and I’m hopping they add cruise control like the MT-09SP and MT-10 come with standard. That’s really all this bike is missing to make it a perfect only bike in my eyes. You should wrap your tank with paint protective film because Honda paint is Notoriously soft and scratches very easy. So I highly recommend getting a clear wrap on the tank. I’m praying they come out with cruise control on this bike in 2022 and I’ll trade my bike in so fast for one. It’s one of the best looking bikes on the market in my opinion.
In response to your rant about power output I think Honda has decided to use common sense in limiting the horsepower the way they did. I simply don’t see any need for 180 horsepower in a street bike. It’s beautiful and has more power than any sane person could use on the street.
And a naked street bike, no less. I haven't looked at the dynos, but I'm assuming the detuned motor of the CB1000R has a more balanced power delivery throughout the rev range with more torque down below vs the CBR. For a naked bike, that is muuuch more optimal over the high revving, high-strung nature of an RR.
Well I think a D-tunes engine for this bike is perfect because the D-tunes engine lasts a lot longer than one that is tuned. Even better it won’t have a terrible maintenance schedule
@@ttinnovations3310 I’ve only ridden the monster once but from what I remember the Ducati felt “alive” I felt her underneath me and that torque is deadly lol but the cb is just smooth in all she does it’s like watching a clock tick it’s effortless
Hi Kevin I just bought a Honda Black Edition, who are these people that won’t buy because of the 143bhp. Top speed on this naked bike 150mph. If they want fast, go for the Fireblade. In the UK were limited to 70mph. Good video
lol you'd be surprised by some of the comments you hear on the showroom floor selling motorcycles for 15 years... all of these "pro" riders that have been riding for a year need 200hp or bust haha! Congrats on the new bike! This is hands down, the sexiest bike Honda has built in a long time - in my opinion. Ride safe and appreciate the kind words ;)
Got mine one month ago and I'm in love. I tried the Yamaha MT09 SP before I got the Honda but I got scared by that 3 cylinder engine....too explosive... Saludos desde Gran Canaria. España
I just wish it came with cruise control standard like it’s competition from Yamaha I commute on my bike when the weather is nice which is very often in Florida and cruise control is just amazing when you’re doing lots of riding especially on the highway. I think cruise control is all it’s missing at its price point.
hate quik shifters, needs to be an option an Cruise Ctrl like EVERYthing/EVERYone else is standard. they backwards. the fail to sale has got to be the front signals on all the time. hondas st00pid, does dumb things u didnt ask for. like windows., ride a kawy.
@@traeucity6087 Kawy? a 1000 would be the sit upright sport touring fairing'd ninja 1000sx se. optional saddlebags. their 900 nakeds are the Z900, 900rs an rs cafe. look at and compare on paper however much u like, but you have to go test ride before buying is all I can tell ya.
Beautiful bike, 143hp sounds pretty good to me, plus Honda quality. Guess I can understand people wanting the engine not detuned though, not like it would cost Honda any money
Oh yeah, 143hp is plenty enough for any of us on the street if we're being honest with ourselves but per usual - we always want MORE lol! I think the aggravating part to me is their decision to not give us all the beans. Sometimes it seems like Honda likes to tease us, we know they can do special things as they have in the past but then sometimes you'll see them halfway do something and to me, this is one of those halfway moments. Especially when you look at what the competition is doing with their naked 1000cc+ sport bikes and they're selling a crap ton more of them than Honda is at the end of the day. It's still an awesome bike though and I'm not knocking it as it'll still blow 90% of people's minds if they have a chance to ride it. I just think Honda could do more rather than using an almost 20 year old drivetrain package in this B-E-A-UTIFUL bike. Thanks as always for watching and commenting too Steve ;)
Lol! I used to think you had to have horsepower to have fun but when I picked up my first Grom in 2013, that all changed. It really opened my eyes to the old saying "It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow". That showed me I could have fun on 2 wheels without having to take my CBR to the track or to the mountains for a session of ripping up and down it as fast as possible. Sometimes I think we get caught up too much in getting that next faster bike or being able to go faster around this turn etc and forget what fun in sometimes. Long story short, as much as I love high horsepower bikes - the fun stuff that really puts a smile on my face these days comes in the way of a 9hp bike too lol! But that's not covering the addiction of modifying things and trying to squeeze out more from that 9hp engine lol! Tinkering with them is a lot of the fun too though.
I like this bike. I don't need all the power. I would like a fairing and some useful windshield, but I want that on most bikes. It's a lot of bike for the bucks.
You may want to check out the new 2022 Honda NT1100 that's FINALLY releasing on 10.21.2021 as it has a little less power and has a fairing / windshield etc. I posted a sneak peek picture on my community tab or you can check it out on my social media accounts over at instagram.com/HondaProKevin & facebook.com/HondaProKevin
Any ride by wire motor cycle should have a “Standard “ CC !! I just don’t understand why they don’t have that. Not always used, but as a senior rider now it is much appreciated these days when you need it 🤷🏻♂️
Also, I live in New Jersey USA & have yet to see one on the road or showroom 🤷🏻♂️. Would definitely like to check it out. Currently riding an Awesome Sauce 👍🏻 😬 04 ST1300a. Very Nice ride IMO.
I love Honda reliability and the look of this bike is by far the hottest they have ever done on any naked bike. I can live with Honda skimping on the horsepower. But I will not trade my current ride and buy one until they add cruise control standard, the rear shock or make it adjustable, and that front fender flapping I seen on them on the road. Minor gripes but it’s what I would like. Otherwise, this is a gorgeous, top notch road machine, in my humble opinion. Thanks for the vid!
I'm holding out for cruise control as well. As for the rear shock, I also agree, but I like a simpler rear factory shock, that I'd likely replace with and ohlins or similar.
Honda is still using the 06-07 1000RR engine as it’s basis, they need an all new model using the 08 plus engine and like you said full power. Great vid Kevin!
I know man and it was a bad move back then to use that engine and an even worse move some 10+ years later that we're still using it lol! It's a good thing they didn't use the crank walking, oil burning 08 engine at first as it saved them from some headaches lol but they could have and should have done something by now. Heck, now they just need to go ham and throw the RRR pirate engine in there and break the internet as people don't think they'd ever do something like that. Thanks bud, I really appreciate the support...
I know, this thing should 100% have cruise control since its now DBW and for the price tag it demands too. Glad to hear you're loving yours, always cool to hear from real world owners!
Bought one a few weeks ago.. 156bhp is plenty :) plus if you really wish to up it it will go above the hp stated in the vid.. still looking for the under seat usb though..
The usb is located under the passenger seat or cowl. Remove it with your key and you’ll see the usb connection with a water resistant rubber around it.
I want the 2022 CB1000r Old School edition . 0 rider aids , 0 rider modes , non detuned , ride by cable , and a analog dash with tach big speedo not as big analog fuel gauge and a gear indicator .
That's a shame! Maybe you'll be able to find a super clean used unit when you're ready to pull the trigger as these bikes are something special in my opinion and will definitely hold their value due to how limited they are.
@@HondaProKevin I have a cbr1000rr same engine ,and worked to ride more like these, geared down for follow torque etc . but def like this version it's very classy
I just love this beauty Been waiting and i hope next hear honda to replace d engine and add ohlin shocks atleast 170hp job is done I'll take it just keep d prices around yahama mt10sp
This bike looks nice. I am not sure why Honda is so stubborn when it comes to options and features across their entire line, it just makes me not want to buy their stuff.
Honda needs to put out the CB aniversary bike bike with the 1982 900F Freddie Spencer body style .They introduced it but never put it out ,that's the bike I want why didn,t they put it in production? Kawasaki has the 900rs they should have made it
I don't care about the navigation thing to be honest because I will be using my phone regardless. But what I do want is Cruise control. The mt09 has better technology than the cb1000r but the style is amazing so yeah I don't know what to do.
I feel for you man as that's a difficult decision because Yamaha has been killing it lately with the MT09 and the rest of them too! But like you said, the CB1000R has the styling locked down. Needless to say, I'm glad I don't have to decide between one or the other right now lol!
I want to get this bike but will be my first bike besides a grom . I know its not recommended but I don't want to waste my time with a smaller bike. Is this a big no no
Everyone is going to give you a different opinion on that one. Personally, I wouldn't consider honing your skills as a "waste of time". Could you hop on a 1000 and be just fine? Oh yeah. Could it end badly? Of course but that's the case with just about any bike whether it be a 600 or 1000 etc. If you're a responsible person and can respect what you have under you, you'll probably be fine. If you're not, then I would definitely get some more seat time on a step up from the Grom before going 20 steps above the Grom with a liter bike lol ;)
I would love them to make this same style naked bike just with a different engine like the one used in the rebel 1100. Not a big fan of the looks of the rebel 1100.
@@HondaProKevin mainly to have more low end torque, possibly lighter weight with less cylinders. Don't get me wrong, I love the cb1000r. I just hate that to get most of its power you have to be at high rpms. I have a 2007 cb919 myself so it's pretty similar to the cb1000r, just older version I guess. I mean the ducati monsters have twin cylinders and they are pretty powerful. Inline 4s just make most of their power high so by the time you're getting that torque you are probably going over the speed limit lol.
Does anybody know if this is going to be in the states for the 22 model year? I went to a dealer to see some bikes today, and they had one of these in there. This bikes presence is not captured AT ALL in photos, or video. It is extremely sharp in person. Im just wondering if it's going to be around in 22. As i'd like to hold out at least a littttttle bit. Just to see if the hornet is going to happen in 22, or if thats a few years out.
I wish I could give you some insight on this but with this bike, it's a crapshoot. It's not a high volume bike so they could pull the plug any second or keep it around for a few more years and settle with only selling a few of them. Long story short, it's a gamble on waiting with it as unlike some models where I can say it'll definitely be returning, this one is always potentially on the chopping block haha.
@@HondaProKevin Found one at my dealer here in Michigan. They had it nicely tucked away in the back, looking flawless! I rode it home about an hour ago. I can say the rain mode works really really well. Yup, here in Michigan, it was 30 degrees and started raining on my way home. LOL
There are some guys seeing 150+whp out of them with a tune and bolt-ons so it's definitely doable when it comes to getting some of that power back but it's going to take some $$.
Low on power, no wind protection. This bike would be a contender against the s1000XR and 1290 GT for a fun road and toruing bike. INstead of low power NT1100
If I was a betting man I'd say we won't see any changes for 2022 as the most recent round of changes came in 2021 to the CB1000R platform that includes the Black Edition. If anything for 2022, I think we have a chance of seeing the standard version CB1000R brought over that we didn't get for 2021 as they only imported the Black Edition version. I'll know more in the next 30-60 days though ;)
Thankfully honda didn't go with the 200+ hp nonsense. Take the Ducati for instance. You'll be lucky if it lasts you more than 70,000 km without engine rebuild. That's the price for extremely stressed engines.
Well, you've peaked my curiosity now lol! Now I have to see if I can find another one so I can mess with the front fender and see how flimsy it may be...
Just take my word for it. I can't believe for as nice of a bike as it is that they would just throw a flimsy piece of crap over the front tire Like that, budget must of ran out.
Lol yeah buddy, that was me the entire time! Have you seen the Black Edition in person yet? Pictures and videos just don't do it justice... sooooo sexy!
@@chrisberry9653 lol right! That's the only downfall of doing this over the years, you want to take one of every thing home when the next cool thing is released!
I will play contrarian to the lovefest. 1. Café ‘style’. I suppose if you live in an urban environment with lots of lights and get your kicks out of blowing away Honda Accords it may be ok. 2. No wind/bug protection. If you were to ride this ‘naked’ at a fair clip for any distance me thinks it would get old quick. Carry plenty of plexiglass cleaner and microfiber. 3. 143 HP not enough. There is no end for the lust for HP and bragging rights when most will never explore the limits of the bike itself or their own ability. If one does it will get expensive with the authorities or the health care industry. 4. BLACK, BLACK, BLACK. With your black riding gear on you’ll look like the spawn of Darth Vader and will be hard to see as you split lanes doing a C note or anywhere else and when an octogenarian slams into you it will be all their fault. I have the same opinion on matte gray. I know there are people who love these big naked bikes. I just don’t see it. To me, where I live it is impractical. Honda give me a good sport tourer.
I like where you're coming from on this! Power power power, when most that crave it can not tame it! Most probably couldn't handle a 500 in the twistes. 143hp sounds like one could easily be at 155 with very little modification and that still wouldn't please the street Rossi posse. I would really like to see Honda use this platform and get 143 hp. All while making it more up right with hard bags, a fairing. Some adjustable bars, a nice digital display, and maybe even a shitty radio like on the ctx1300.
@@JoeySpara I sold my VFR several years ago, which was a huge mistake (I just had too many bikes at the time). I sold my two sport bikes this past spring (I am getting old and the extreme lean is no longer in the cards for the joints). All I have left in this genre is a venerable FJ1200 and it is a little hefty, especially in the corners. Great bike though, very comfortable and all the power I need. I am looking to upgrade new and for me I see only two options. The Ninja 1000 and Suzuki 1000GT. Both appear to be spectacular. I am leaning toward the Suzi, less weight, more of a sport bike and that K5 engine. The only thing holding me back is I don’t want a black bike. I feel like when Henry Ford addressed a complaint about all the Model T’s being black, “They can have any color they want as long as it’s black”. Honda needs a decent sport tourer in their line-up with bags, with that 153 HP engine @ around $15K. I will take mine in Red, White, Yellow, Blue, or Pink (uh, maybe not).
I have this black edition and had also the previous 2020 white version. the engine smoothness and the quick shifter has improved a lot .
Nice! Always cool to hear from real owners and hear their feedback on changes from one generation to the next as you can say a lot more than someone that just hops on it and logs a few miles etc. Quick shifters should come standard on everything, soooo much fun lol!

I feel for you man as that's a difficult decision because Yamaha has been killing it lately with the MT09 and the rest of them too! But like you said, the CB1000R has the styling locked down. Needless to say, I'm glad I don't have to decide between one or the other right now lol!
Seat height???
I want to get this bike but will be my first bike besides a grom . I know its not recommended but I don't want to waste my time with a smaller bike. Is this a big no no
Everyone is going to give you a different opinion on that one. Personally, I wouldn't consider honing your skills as a "waste of time". Could you hop on a 1000 and be just fine? Oh yeah. Could it end badly? Of course but that's the case with just about any bike whether it be a 600 or 1000 etc. If you're a responsible person and can respect what you have under you, you'll probably be fine. If you're not, then I would definitely get some more seat time on a step up from the Grom before going 20 steps above the Grom with a liter bike lol ;)
I'd set it to rain mode for month. That should being its power down to minimum, letting you get used to its dimension without the accompanying power
If this mofel don't have cornering ABS, that is certanly what Honda must add!
I can’t find a cb 1000 near me for 2 years. If I find one it’s usually 3 hours away. 650r is hard to find too
Are you in the US
@@jeremyclarkson-69 yes
I would love them to make this same style naked bike just with a different engine like the one used in the rebel 1100. Not a big fan of the looks of the rebel 1100.
That would definitely be different!
I'm curious... Why would you rather have the parallel-twin over this inline-four?
@@HondaProKevin mainly to have more low end torque, possibly lighter weight with less cylinders. Don't get me wrong, I love the cb1000r. I just hate that to get most of its power you have to be at high rpms. I have a 2007 cb919 myself so it's pretty similar to the cb1000r, just older version I guess. I mean the ducati monsters have twin cylinders and they are pretty powerful. Inline 4s just make most of their power high so by the time you're getting that torque you are probably going over the speed limit lol.
Needs a steering damper in my opinion.
Definitely!
Does anybody know if this is going to be in the states for the 22 model year? I went to a dealer to see some bikes today, and they had one of these in there. This bikes presence is not captured AT ALL in photos, or video. It is extremely sharp in person. Im just wondering if it's going to be around in 22. As i'd like to hold out at least a littttttle bit. Just to see if the hornet is going to happen in 22, or if thats a few years out.
I wish I could give you some insight on this but with this bike, it's a crapshoot. It's not a high volume bike so they could pull the plug any second or keep it around for a few more years and settle with only selling a few of them. Long story short, it's a gamble on waiting with it as unlike some models where I can say it'll definitely be returning, this one is always potentially on the chopping block haha.
@@HondaProKevin Found one at my dealer here in Michigan. They had it nicely tucked away in the back, looking flawless! I rode it home about an hour ago. I can say the rain mode works really really well. Yup, here in Michigan, it was 30 degrees and started raining on my way home. LOL
You can order the 22!
Can a flash override the detune?
There are some guys seeing 150+whp out of them with a tune and bolt-ons so it's definitely doable when it comes to getting some of that power back but it's going to take some $$.
pleaseeee is there any news for the cb650r update?
Not much longer ;)
Low on power, no wind protection. This bike would be a contender against the s1000XR and 1290 GT for a fun road and toruing bike. INstead of low power NT1100
Exhaust, intake and tuning will go a long way
If you had to take a guess, what changes will Honda make to the CB1000 for 2022?
If I was a betting man I'd say we won't see any changes for 2022 as the most recent round of changes came in 2021 to the CB1000R platform that includes the Black Edition. If anything for 2022, I think we have a chance of seeing the standard version CB1000R brought over that we didn't get for 2021 as they only imported the Black Edition version. I'll know more in the next 30-60 days though ;)
@@HondaProKevin 60 days passed, any news :)?
No cruise control?!!
lol sadly that's still a no go on this bike...
I have never been an all black bike fan however this is sexy as phuck. Wouldn’t hesitate if tue funds were readily available.
Honda rarely max out engine power.
That's why they last forever.
Thankfully honda didn't go with the 200+ hp nonsense. Take the Ducati for instance. You'll be lucky if it lasts you more than 70,000 km without engine rebuild. That's the price for extremely stressed engines.
Yeah it’s an Amazing 😻 bike
Yeah buddy, Honda nailed it on this one!
Nice
It sure looks fast..
Yessir, she's definitely a looker!
This would be a good option for me to sit beside my RSV4 Factory and Ninja 1000SX and an easier choice if the HP was closer to the BMW S1000R.
Take a look at this video and see what happens between this CB1000R against a BMW S1000R: th-cam.com/video/13pSyGurvqo/w-d-xo.html
less horsepower compared to the likes of ZH2, Streetfighter v4s, etc
That exhaust though, recycle
The front fender absolutely sucks!! Flimsy floppy junk.
Well, you've peaked my curiosity now lol! Now I have to see if I can find another one so I can mess with the front fender and see how flimsy it may be...
Just take my word for it. I can't believe for as nice of a bike as it is that they would just throw a flimsy piece of crap over the front tire Like that, budget must of ran out.
ไม่มาไทยซักทีเลย
หวังว่าในอนาคต
🤤
Lol yeah buddy, that was me the entire time! Have you seen the Black Edition in person yet? Pictures and videos just don't do it justice... sooooo sexy!
No i am too afraid i will leave with it
@@chrisberry9653 lol right! That's the only downfall of doing this over the years, you want to take one of every thing home when the next cool thing is released!
I will play contrarian to the lovefest.
1. Café ‘style’. I suppose if you live in an urban environment with lots of lights and get your kicks out of blowing away Honda Accords it may be ok.
2. No wind/bug protection. If you were to ride this ‘naked’ at a fair clip for any distance me thinks it would get old quick. Carry plenty of plexiglass cleaner and microfiber.
3. 143 HP not enough. There is no end for the lust for HP and bragging rights when most will never explore the limits of the bike itself or their own ability. If one does it will get expensive with the authorities or the health care industry.
4. BLACK, BLACK, BLACK. With your black riding gear on you’ll look like the spawn of Darth Vader and will be hard to see as you split lanes doing a C note or anywhere else and when an octogenarian slams into you it will be all their fault. I have the same opinion on matte gray.
I know there are people who love these big naked bikes. I just don’t see it. To me, where I live it is impractical. Honda give me a good sport tourer.
I like where you're coming from on this! Power power power, when most that crave it can not tame it! Most probably couldn't handle a 500 in the twistes. 143hp sounds like one could easily be at 155 with very little modification and that still wouldn't please the street Rossi posse.
I would really like to see Honda use this platform and get 143 hp. All while making it more up right with hard bags, a fairing. Some adjustable bars, a nice digital display, and maybe even a shitty radio like on the ctx1300.
@@JoeySpara I sold my VFR several years ago, which was a huge mistake (I just had too many bikes at the time). I sold my two sport bikes this past spring (I am getting old and the extreme lean is no longer in the cards for the joints). All I have left in this genre is a venerable FJ1200 and it is a little hefty, especially in the corners. Great bike though, very comfortable and all the power I need.
I am looking to upgrade new and for me I see only two options. The Ninja 1000 and Suzuki 1000GT. Both appear to be spectacular. I am leaning toward the Suzi, less weight, more of a sport bike and that K5 engine. The only thing holding me back is I don’t want a black bike. I feel like when Henry Ford addressed a complaint about all the Model T’s being black, “They can have any color they want as long as it’s black”.
Honda needs a decent sport tourer in their line-up with bags, with that 153 HP engine @ around $15K. I will take mine in Red, White, Yellow, Blue, or Pink (uh, maybe not).
