- Hi Everyone,
👋 👋 👋
Here is the initial ride review of the 2022 Honda CB1000R Black Edition!
I know people say 'be safe, be seen' but I am the first to admit... I LOVE a stealthy, blacked out, aggressive looking machine.
My friend Emma told me that this is the bike she thinks has suited me the best out of the fleet of different press bikes I've been lucky enough to ride.
Would you agree?
Let me know if you've ridden one and what you think or if you have plans to ride it in the future!
Thanks Guys!

Great video Kate. Awesome sounding and looking bike.
"Loud pipes and scaring little kids" paraphrase'n Kate!
Another fun ride out for first impression on the Honda.
Thanks Mike P!
So much respect🤗💯
Fantastic looking machine, fantastic scenery and a fantastic video.......what is there not to like.
Awesome going Kate. 👍😊
Thank you so much Dean

Thanks Trevor, always appreciate your kindness
Can't wait to buy mine awesome 😜😜😜😜
Great post! God I wish you get some decent weather for a change!!
I bloody wish that too!!
I was waiting for this one 😁✌️
😊😊😊
Never cease to be amazed at the scenery. Thank you for that. Good on ya for checking on your old friend. Singing? More please. Would love to hear what you can truly do.
Peace be with you
Thanks James!!
"Make small children cry", love it :-)
🤭🤭🤭
I haven’t heard Kate burst into song for a while…..she loves the bike😜😁
🤭🤭🤭
You have excellent taste in Motorcycles. Enjoy your Vlogs and you possess a wonderful singing voice!
that is one stunning bike! 😊
Almost a black weatherly day 😎🙏🌎🥃
The gasket is amazing, we frequently pop along there for a ride, the cakes they make are amazing! But they sell out super quick as it's usually really busy. My hubby and I rode out to Rivington on Wed as it was a gorgeous day, we stopped off at the black dog pub for lunch which was really lovely.
I've never stopped at the black dog pub for food before! I must put it on the list!!
Nice first impressions video and also some singing performance. :) Enjoyed. Hondas were always solid and very Japanese bikes. This is a big plus and means reliability.
Reliability is always a massive positive!!! 👏 thanks for the nice comment!
Great looking and sounding bike. Enjoyed the new route. looking forward to your vlog on the peak district, never been down that way
I just need to edit it nigel! Have about 8 vlogs unedited 🤣😬 pray for me!
Very nice Kate honda CB 1000 r black great review fantastic coverage Kate 👍💙 ride safe
Thanks Andrew, how are you?
Another great video. What a beast, sounds awesome 🙂😊
Thank you! 😊👍🏻
Great vid being sixty this year so fancy this or possible new hornet duke 890 mt o9 great bikes but bit salty with my back now over and out i am sure after two years you found your home keep up the good vids you certainly no how to ride a bike
What a beautiful bike, I really like it! Great video Kate 👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed the vlog!
Well done Kate. Sounded like you were knocking the cobwebs off that bike from time to time. Engine sounded great.
Lovely note to the engine!
Another great upload from Kate👍👍
Thanks Pete!
just bought one goes fantastic
Yay!!.glad you like it!
In France we now having sound detection equipment and if you have a wee loud exhaust it takes a nice wee pic of your bike and voila a nice wee fine😢good vid again🥰Hondas are nice😉
Gerry that SUCKS 🥺 why to they have to remove any little happiness we have in this life! 😔
"ONLY 143 horsepower"...
So it is roughly equivalent to a 1000 hp Lamborghini then, got it. 🤔😁
I've never fancied Honda styling but have to say that is the first Honda that actually looks manly enough to ride. Great looking bike. 👍
I know ONLY 🤣🤣 Honestly, I'll say 143bhp and the people chant WEAK 😬
It's very pretty, but honestly I'm a bit over the lack of colours accross the industry at the moment.
Bring back the bright liveries of the 90's.
Imagine!!
Great review Kate loved it. I know it,s a bit late but if you and your boyfriend where thinking about going to the NW 200. I have free digs for you both in Belfast. Ride safe ......:):)
That was a kind offer!! Thank you Colin! Unfortunately we haven't managed to get over this year 👎
Great vid Kate as per. A Magical Mystery Tour of......Rivi He he. The bike looks sharp and sounds nice. Good commentary from a proper northern lass to, wot's not to like?
Thanks Col! You're a legend 😊
Awesome bike. Great review. Love that QS
QS is soooo nice!!
Thanks for the video! I’m thinking about buying this bike and I enjoyed being along for your ride. You seem very at home on this bike.
You’ve probably bought a bike by now but the CBthou is extremely easy to get accustomed to.
You are getting very good at this now Kate. Another great vid, keep up the great work! :-)
Thank you Leif, your words mean a lot!
I love this bit, too!
Thanks Jay!!!
Hi Kate great video. This or the Triumph speed triple rs 1200 for a road bike. By the way loved the Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally video as well.
Hhhnnmm I think the RS for that engine (but I'd like it to have the CBs suspension!!)
Great Video as always Kate, after mentioning a while back that the audio level was very low, whatever settings you may of changed has sorted it out, no longer have to crank it up 👍🏼. Nice skilled bit of riding too.
Thank you for the compliment! I didn't change anything, that's why I struggle with why it's so hit and miss! I appreciate the love 😊
@@UsernameKate could be the noise canceling in what ever software you’re using.
@@thecrowfliescrooked sounds fine for me!
Nice to ride with you again.
Thanks chick ❤️❤️
You ride it really well for a bike that’s not familiar to you, I ride these roads sometimes on my gtr1400, beautiful but can be a bit testy. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Michael! That's very kind of you!
Dear Kate, First time seeing your vlog. How long do you have your license?
I just got my A license, I love the cb650r, but hear the bike is 'slow' in the low and midrange. Do you think the cb1000r is suitable for a beginner?
thx
Great review, really want to upgrade to this bike after I get tired of my VFR. Also, you randomly have a great singing voice! Haha
Tired of a VFR?
Get out!
😂
Haha cheers Vibecheck!
@@RawTopShot 😂 not possible right?!
LOL, when you said you were going to Anglezarke and you said "Let's see what's up here", that the road I normally come down from Egerton to get to Anglezarke. I've never come in that way you came from. I knew when you went up there that you would end up back at Rivi 😂
🤣🤣🤣
you like that spot so much you just end up there even when your trying not to go there :) That was a classic Audi driver move lol
Another quality video keep it up
Haha sods law isn't it!! I will get away from rivi one day!!
That res with all the trees down… Turton and Entwistle Reservoirs. You ended up riding almost all the Rivi routes I go. Next time turn left at Anglzark and head to White Coppice then Wheelton. Nice lanes. 😎. Lancashire 😍
Roger that boss!
@@UsernameKate 😂 great review… lovely bike 🏍
Looks nice that bike. Unfortunately I haven't got a bike licence. It would probably be a naked bike I'd choose because the riding position looks more comfortable. I also like that Suzuki Katana and the Kawasaki ZH2. I like these type of videos Kate 😊 I've also subscribed
Thanks Lee!!
You are welcome 😊
Very nice vid Kate you are so polite toward the bicycling people. If I may a have a question, when you are test riding a “big bike” with 1000 CC why are you testing it on a country lane instead of a highway? The upside is we can hear you saying it handles very well on a bumpy twisty road so that’s nice. You don t test it on a highway, is that because everyone can ride very fast in a straight line😀 big thumbs up for this one👍🇳🇱
Haha I just feel its a bit boring and the wind noise is often terrible, however I've a bit of motorway on my Speed Triple 1200 RR coming up on Sunday 😊
I own a black 2018 model (that I might sell soon). Excellent bike. Good review, Kate.
Are you selling it because of something the bike doesn't do for you? Curious that you note it's an "excellent bike" but you're probably selling yours soon. Thanks in advance.
Yeah, I'm curious too 🤭
I hit the horn once when I tried to put my hazards on without looking 😂
"oh I know where I am" famous last words for many...
😬😬😬😬
Just brought a black edition from virtue honda based on a few reviews on here, my first upright bike 😁
You loving it David?
@@UsernameKate absolutely 😁 it's comfortable and quick enough, looks great and sounds good even with the standard can, my first naked bike and needed a change from sport's bikes, I firmed up the rear a little and played about with the dash, bar end mirrors made it look even better 👌 it's a year old one from a dealer although the bike is great I don't it was prepared well for delivery (fury nuts and bolts and a rusty chain and generally dirty) I think it's been a commuter bike or lived outdoors,
Awesome review. Can you please do a review for the Kawasaki Z900 RS. Would love to hear your take, and also in comparison to this Honda retro. Thanks in advance.
I would love too! I just need to get my hands on one! :)
I know I should be riding twins and singles for fuel economy (I have a CBR250R in the shed I ride quite often for a commute) but I find the 4 cylinder symphony intoxicating. My Blackbird sounds very similar to this (and I would own this CB1000R if it wasn't for the wind where I live - so streetfighters are a hard ask)
Still like it, good first ride video! Just curious how you like being a fulltime youtuber for a while now. Keep em coming!
Loving it Erwin! Thanks for asking! Might do a vlog on it specifically! A week in the life kinda thing!
@@UsernameKate why not! Best thing is you are loving it! See you in the next vid !
@@erwindenengelsen8144 thanks Erwin 🥰
Hi Kate I’m always surprised when people from around Bolton have never been down Green Arms Rd the large reservoir on your left is Entwistle Res There is a Turning as you go down the hill on the left that goes to a carpark lovely walk round and if you go across the dam and up the hill you come to Entwistle rail way station and a rather nice remote pub called Strawberry Duck which was a bikers pub years ago but gone up market now well worth a visit great food . Sounds like you like the bike , looks ok I’ve just never quiet took to Hondas always Had Kawasaki 1000 and now triumph Daytona 675 like your channel your doing a great job stay safe Andy now from Scotland
I've been to the Strawberry Duck before! Lovely place and dog friendly ❤️ 🐕
Hey Kate. I like really like that 🏍️ Honda cb 1000 r be. That is why I am here on Your channel.waiting to see the bike, but before has happened lost my interest to see it. After You sang the song( nice voice) i was more interested to see You than the bike itself
Great video, great bike, great girl .
Sorry for mistakes in Grama( if happened). Greetings from Poland
Thank-you!
Cool bike
I agree 😊
@17:30 I really hate that Honda decided to go away from the industry standard, and changed their switchgear to where the horn button is now above the turn signal switch. My 2010 VFR1200F DCT had this arrangement, which made "some" sense, as the left switchgear also housed the manual + & - gear selection buttons---the left switch pod was busy. But, for people who own multiple motorcycles, of different brands, this makes handling a modern Honda anything but intuitive. p.s.--great review Kate!
Totally get what you're saying!
Years on a CB500 and RC36 VFR750, the first time I test rode anything remotely modern (NC700S, VFR1200 and the 1200 crosstourer model) it totally freaked me out and gave an instant annoyance, that on a short test ride of each I couldn't shake.
The one time you wish Honda hadn't thought "WHAT IF...."
Really enjoyed the vid and that bike has been on my radar since last year! Can you let me know what jacket you were wearing? Thanks!
Hey Mike! I'm wearing an Oxford Mondial and I can confidently say, hand on heart, it's never leaked and it's one of the best suits I've ever owned (and no, I'm not paid to say that!) 😊
Thanks and keep up the good work 😉
Nice 1 Kate
Thanks Lyn!
Hello lovely Kate great to see you looking forward to watching this ride safe lovely greetings from st Helens Merseyside..🤩
Thanks Stevie ❤️
@@UsernameKate no worries lovely take care..
Shame you didn’t really give it the beans in 2nd or 3rd I think you would have been impressed how well it pulls once you let it really sing. It’s properly quick. Nice review though.
Name Checking Emma,, love it
Oh of courseee!
Hello usernamekate, i live in germany and i love your videos. One question: which bike would you recommend more? The Honda CB1000R or BMW S1000R?
Oh so tricky!!! I've been putting off replying to this trying to figure out an answer and I'm still stuck!
@@UsernameKate I've bought the Honda BE. I've had the bike for two and a half months now and have already ridden 4000km. It's just bliss!
I could travel the world with it.
Yeah… all Honda’s seem to have the lack of something you can’t put your finger on. My Crosstourer is no different… I’m on Honda #40 I guess, I’ve had pretty much all of them lol. I do like the cb1000 though, I would…. Enjoy! And, hopefully catch up over the summer. ☀️ 👍👍
Yup. One of the bikes I highly anticipated was the new-for-2013 CB1100. I immediately bought one (the ABS version) and only put a few thousand miles on it. Although it was a beautiful bike, and well-made, I found it quite boring to ride. The suspension was fine, and the power output was okay, but the engine just had no character--it was like riding a very smooth sewing machine. Of all the Honda's I've owned, the one I wish I had back was my burgundy/silver 2008 CBR1000RR---stunning to look at, and a hoot to ride!
I do not know the timeline but you did not say graffel or sliding ones in this video so i think the riding lesson from last video worked...😆👍
You live in a beautyfull part off the world...
It could be worse haha!
Brilliant review Kate I am new to your channel just a question I am 5.8 could i flat foot this bike ? I did not see you say how tall you are ? Brilliant many thanks
being able to flat foot bikes is based on leg length, im 5.4 tall if that helps
I’m 5ft 7 and can’t quite flat foot mine, Paul.
@@Maverick-moto thankyou 😁 will sit on one when I'm back in uk many thanks 👍
Super 😄👌 Kate
Thanks Chema!!
Well you certainly seem to enjoying yourself and be able to make good progress on the Honda, Rivington Tours haha. Excellent review.
Nice one lass.
Thanks!
You should borrow one of those Beeline moto that MotoBob keeps pushing.
Bellissima moto molto figaaaaaaa ☺
As you probably know Kate , Andymancam has the cb100r the one before the one your on and he calls it a corner destroyer so it must handle well .
So good! Honestly
🤘🤘🤘
Sounds gorgeous! How do you not wheelie that bike out of every intersection?
I need to keep this licence haha
Can i ask what make that jacket is? Looking for something that'll keep me dry in the rain and that looks quite nice. Looking for the man version mind you
Hey, it's the Oxford Mondial suit. They do a mens version which my partner Mike wore on our NC500 vlogs. It's a brilliant suit and it's never leaked on me once!
@@UsernameKate Had a couple of Oxford tank bags and they've never let a drop of water in either. I'll have a wee look for that suit. Thanks for the reply.
I've found mine very similar to the gsxs1000f I had. Quite tame until 7k then turbo like power. I do like the predictability of the power delivery of a 4.
Yea you know exactly where you stand with an inline 4 and that's not necessarily a bad thing!
You’ll be riding the Snake Pass in the Peak District?
Yesss it's on the editing list along with 8 other things I've filmed 😱😅
💪👍🏍🔥
👍👍
Kate is a pretty girl❤️💐
Good ride review 👍
Thanks!
Can you do a short ride with Mike on the back to see how he feels about it as pillion, and to get your feedback as the rider coping with the altered balance and weight etc?
No pilly seat on this demo
@@UsernameKate
Oh 👍
So if you had to choose only one bike between the Triumph Rocket 3 and the CB1000R Black, which would it be?
Oooooh, maybe the Rocket 3 just on the fact that I'd never afford one and that bike forces me to be more social... it attracts EVERYONE! haha
Ok Kate, trusting your opinion! I am trading-in my 2022 CB1000R Black for the 2022 Triumph Rocket 3 R. I pick it up this Saturday!! Hah, in reality my old legs were too bent on the Honda. Loved the bike, but at almost 60 I found it more cramped then I remember feeling on sport bikes when I was in my 20’s. Can’t wait for Saturday! I got the same color as you were testing, the Cranberry/ Silver.
@@rivertownrider7126 wow!!! That is very cool and I'm very jealous! Let me know how you get on! (I think you're gonna LOVE it)
Complimenti
Did you have the dealers' set up the suspension for you before going out?
Unlikely but it needs it for sure. Standard set up has excessive front compression damping
@@Maverick-moto Same on my CB650R. Springs are weak, they're relying on compression damping to handle hard braking. Downside is every single sharper bump goes right into your arms...
@@233kosta I had the front end resprung for my weight by Maxton back in the summer and the internals modified to reduce compression damping.
I also fitted a Maxton rear shock, again to match my weight. It’s now pretty sorted, but you’re spot on.
When I test rode it in 2019, it was so buzzy in the seat compared to what else I was considering I eliminated it as a choice. How is it now?
I have one and don’t find it buzzy at all. Turbine like if anything with a lovely whine to it as you roll the throttle on.
I didnt find it bad either if I'm being honest! Nothing noticeable or intrusive 👍🏻
@@UsernameKate great to hear! It's such a well finished and good looking machine. At the time I bought the MT-10 instead because of that buzz in the seat.
Gosh that accent ❤❤❤
🤣 it's considered quite disgusting in the UK haha
@@UsernameKate I could listen to that all day 😊🥰
She said I want it to make small children cry lol
Muhahahaha
Nice ride, agree that was definitely an inbre*# F+*!
Ooooow Kate, I like you alot 😜👍🏻
Lots of talking without saying much. 🤔 This bike shreds in the higher revs. Maybe if you rode it above 5k rpm you might realize that. It really doesn't get angry until you get around 6/8k then it will scream. Friendly on the commute around town but it carves up the twistes with the best of them. Best of both worlds. 🔥
I have no gripes with the power! And yes, admittedly not one of my best. Cheers Travis for the comment :)
😁 I'm getting ready to go put a couple hundred miles on my black edition today on the mtn roads in Idaho.
@@traviscarter9300 ohhh nice! Safe riding 🤟
@@UsernameKate good day working on my trail braking and correcting my tendency to turn in early on corners. Canyon Chasers has me rethinking my riding techniques from apexing corners correctly to trail braking properly. Been riding my whole adult life and still learning. 😁
@@traviscarter9300 same I'm murder for being close to the white line on right hand bends in the UK! 😬🤣
“What is this place?” Just a wild guess: The Green Arms Road near Rivington. Or wa that a few edits ago? 😴
I published this 2 years ago 🤣
@@UsernameKate So what. Good wine ages wel! 😘
@@UsernameKate And by the way: No better buddy then you for virtual winter rides. Flippin cold outside!
@@UsernameKate To drag this out ‘til kingdoms come I looked it up: Green Arms Road, also known as the B 6391, leads from Cadshaw to Turnton Bottoms and indeed 2 lakes lie at its left side. Should I also look up the postal code? Better never mention in which street you live or this is going to get REALLY freaky. 🤣🤣🤣
@@UsernameKate Sorry, that should be from Cadshaw to Chapeltown Lancashire….. Ok, I’m going to stop now.
Hi username
Hi Nourine!
Off Topic, i'm learning how to distinguish all of the wonderful UK accents. I can't(so far) place your accent. Would you mind sharing..?
*TolkeinShire* 😉
I'm often told it's a Lancashire accent 👍🏻
Behaveeee haha
I fully understand now why it is when you go out with Mike that, you always follow him. You have no sense of direction at all! Even though you are riding around in the area where you live. 😅. Oh yeah, nice bike. Lol.
Zero sense... of direction... or maybe just zero sense is more apt haha
It’s a pussycat that anyone could ride…….until you use the revs, then it’s faaaaaaast!
[ Like ] :)
The spice is above 6k revs, which were hardly passed in this video. Try it out. You'll love it. Most reviewers get the "CB giggle" going over 8k.
Good u keep ok love ❤️ much hugs 🤗 kiss kiss 😘 good see u ride
oi you can sing and sing well might i add
Haha thanks 🤣
