I have had my CB1000R and travelled 2.3k miles on various roads town, B roads, A roads and motorways and can honestly say that the stock exhaust offers sound that you enjoy in all occasions. The power modes do make a difference where SPORT offers instant everything and the standard exhaust is inviting producing a deep tone on down shifting whilst during acceleration an increasing and inviting 4 cylinder whine that goes through all ranges. You experience a significant pull as you get to 4k + in revs which continues to pull all the way up to 8-9k and beyond. the handling is sublime where you are able to feel the the road allowing you to pick your line which is held true through the curve. Slow speed handling is very good having as the bike does a good rake providing confidence whilst filtering or undertaking u-turns. I am about 110 kgs in weight 6 ft 1 inch tall and have been running with the factory suspension settings front and rear and find the ride to be compliant, offering comfort on sub standard road surfaces whilst control at speed. I bought the bike because I liked its style/ appearance and can say that whenever I go out I always receive comments on how nice the bike looks - premium motorbike which possesses presence. I hope that my owner experience helps others understand why this bike could be for them. Enjoy.
Last August I upgraded from the new cb650 r to 1000 I’ve done 6000 miles on it it’s a fantastic bike like you say I think the standard exhaust is loud enough it’s a lot louder and deeper then the 650 and I also like the look of the exhaust compared to the Acra I’ve test ridden several bikes since and none of them can compare to the Honda quick shifter it’s so smooth up and down in every gear it’s one of those bikes that goes under the radar but does everything brilliantly mine averages 53UK MPG
hi Guys I upgraded from my trusty CBR600 as soon as I saw this bike, it does look amazing, handles well at not too silly speeds, just put the puig mini fairing on looks even more café racer. Enjoy the bike its amazing and even poor low down from this 1000cc engine is fast enough for me and 5000rev plus its a real grin machine. thanks for the review update:)
I just got the Tri colour 2010 version after over 10years away from riding, it has a sc exhaust system on it, so very loud.. Before that I was a gixer rider. What a great bike. I'm biased but I think the old version is so much better looking
I've got one of these for a month to, Dan. Mines an insurance bike, because I got knocked off my gsxs1000, gutted, but I'm healing well. I've had it a day, its in standard mode and to me, first impressions are that the build quality is excellent. The seat is surprisingly high but the riding position is good. and its quite comfortable. 60 mile ride no arse ache. I'm taking my time, but given it a couple of braps and it doesn't pick up as well as my Suzuki. Great video, ill watch the others. Cheers.
Well that was a treat for my ears. Love the sound! I agree with the sound of the bike being important for the overall experience. That's why I want a Striple!
When I was younger I always thought that thousand CC's naked bikes had a different engine from the supersports but boy was I wrong I feel like that the naked will feel like I have more freedom
well that is wonderfuly refreshing. I keep seeing vids about electric bike this and charging station that, and here we have you English biker dan the man who can! cheers!
What a lovely sound! It looks like naked bikes are making a long awaited come back. I bought my Tuono factory early last year and now i seem to see loads of naked's on the road again instead of just superbikes and adventures, either that or its the baader-meinhof phenomenon ha. Nice video and lovely bike! Rubber side down pal
@@Englishbikerdan I wouldnt know if they're better. I dont have experience for that. But I do enjoy your videos. I just loved the editing Instead of blurring the speedo you just switched cameras. Was fun to watch and kinda see your reaction. I'm not brave enough to hop on anything bigger than my cb650r atm.
that's a beautiful bike! i had a last gen CB1000R and although it was a nice bike, i ultimately went with an S1000R. Haven't gotten a chance to ride a new one tho!
I love the look of this thing. I rode the + version back at MCN festival last year and thought it was excellent to ride, just a bit dull to look at. Few of us are riding over to Portsdown Hill this evening from Farnborough if you fancy it Dan! Won't be going mental, just a chilled one 👍
Awesome review, stumbled on this account this morning and was surprised to see you driving on foresters way! Hope i bump into you in the shops one day. Keep the good videos coming
Awesome thanks for the quick reply. Super jealous you get to ride that amazing bike. I myself have a kawi z400. Just turned 3000 miles on it the other day. Iv had it sens February hahah. Thansk again
@@Englishbikerdan thanks for the reply . Does it have the low down torque of say the 765 street triple ? Sadly my Honda dealer doesn’t have a demo one but I have ridden the 765 and was mighty impressed with it . Had a 2013 blade which I sold for my Africa twin which I love not want a naked or retro to add to the collection on the man cave !! Keep up the good work and I like your review style .
I had issues trying to get on Ducati's ages ago. My nearest dealer basically told me to naff off. I think they're owned by someone else now so worth a try. I'll be honest, I'm not really into super powerful bikes on the road. I don't see the point personally especially when there are so many awesome mid range bikes out there. I think 120bhp is more than enough. However, I'd still like to have a go on one! 😁
@@Englishbikerdan Ah that's understandable. Yeah, I'm interested to see if they are too extreme for the street haha. When is the bike just too uncontrollable to use anywhere other than the track or whether they've made it soft enough to be usable. Would just be amazing if you could get your hands on one for a test ride!
thinking about this full exhaust, does that exhaust come with baffling originally and they just took it off for that specific race bike? when you showed the inside of the pipe it looks the same as the inside from a new one (from photos on revzilla)..considering because i dont want it to be too loud, but i want the de-cat sound
I hope In d refresh model they will use d new engine detune it make it smooth around 165 to 170hp I'll take it I'll rush to showroom. So pls honda if ur reading this make it happen. I Wana sell my xsr
Cant beat the sound of a big honda. Really miss my fireblade for the noise.
I ride an 09 fireblade the sound with the open akrapovic pipe is insane

Picked one up last month. Putting plenty of miles on already, can't get off of it ha. Beautiful bike.
That is honestly one of the best sounding bikes on the market today, holy shit
It really does sound great. I like the XSR900 sound also. That three cylinder genesis, wooh!
Thanks to this video, I added the full Akrapovic system. I loved my bike before but now even more! Well worth the expense. Thanks for posting, Dan.
That is the most beautiful bike I have ever seen 😍
yeah it's absolutely stunning. Wish manufacturers would give us these cool colours from factory more often
@nitrub Yeah but I guess each of us appreciate different things in bikes 😉 Which is your favourite?
I agree, LLEHTI.
I have a new favourite bike.
That sound with the blipper is unbeatable.
The Performance and that gorgeous sound, who wouldn't go hooligan.
Lovely bike, love one.
Looks like austin power's bike in those colors, yeah babay yeah.
Crazy watching this guy and seeing someone else drive around all of my local roads

That really does sound good. The quick shifter seems like a lot of fun. I am really liking these CBs.
I can't stop watching your videos 😂
It's interesting to see the large variety of bikes and how they ride. You also do a great job expressing the bike.
Thank you 😊
Got one last year handles like a dream dances like a ballerina and goes like grease lightening
Well that was a treat for my ears. Love the sound! I agree with the sound of the bike being important for the overall experience. That's why I want a Striple!
Same. Striple with a full system. Oh mama!
@@Englishbikerdan I imagine it would be very loud! Although very expensive seeing as you'd need a remap. That's the beauty of a slip on.... 😅🤣
When I was younger I always thought that thousand CC's naked bikes had a different engine from the supersports but boy was I wrong I feel like that the naked will feel like I have more freedom
Lovely bike! To powerful for me though...as you know, I'm happy with the CB650R!
Yeah, it's a handful at times!
I currently have a cb650f this would make an excellent upgrade nice video dan
Cheers, I'll be doing a video about that topic soon.
@@Englishbikerdan did you end up doing this comparison?
well that is wonderfuly refreshing. I keep seeing vids about electric bike this and charging station that, and here we have you English biker dan the man who can!
cheers!
2:00 DAMN that sounded so good the subtitle captions : [Music] and [Applause] ....... Yup Can't agree more
Best sounding exhaust note on a vlog I’ve heard
My ears are still ringing! 😂
Now we’re talking. That’s more like it. Does it come with the quick shifter/blipper? This is what you want. And I want.
Yes it sure does although only the Plus model. 👍
Sound exactly like my 09 CB1R, beautiful bike.
The sound of this bike... Jesusssss! Amazing!
What a lovely sound! It looks like naked bikes are making a long awaited come back. I bought my Tuono factory early last year and now i seem to see loads of naked's on the road again instead of just superbikes and adventures, either that or its the baader-meinhof phenomenon ha.

Love the way you edited this. You cant help but have fun on that sort of machine.
It was the simplest edit ever too! I sometimes wonder if those videos are better?
@@Englishbikerdan I wouldnt know if they're better. I dont have experience for that. But I do enjoy your videos. I just loved the editing Instead of blurring the speedo you just switched cameras. Was fun to watch and kinda see your reaction. I'm not brave enough to hop on anything bigger than my cb650r atm.
Great Scott that sound!! So freakin addictive, I think a tank of fuel would last me 20mins! How did you get into bike testing?
that's a beautiful bike! i had a last gen CB1000R and although it was a nice bike, i ultimately went with an S1000R. Haven't gotten a chance to ride a new one tho!
That is a very good looking bike.
I have one of these. Mine is still standard and a bit quiet. I need a new can. Loving the bike though.
Hi Dan, what amazing bike looking and the sound just brilliant you seem to be having great fun paul
I love the look of this thing. I rode the + version back at MCN festival last year and thought it was excellent to ride, just a bit dull to look at.
Few of us are riding over to Portsdown Hill this evening from Farnborough if you fancy it Dan! Won't be going mental, just a chilled one 👍
Ah you're just down the road from me then. Sadly this evening I'm filming some stuff but I appreciate the invite! 👍
Only watched 2 minutes of this video and I know instantly I'm going to love this video 😂
@4:25. Ripping. This bike is inspiring me to make a few changes to mine.
Its a lovely bike, but the price puts it in contention with bikes that are even better like the speed triple and aprilia tuono
This is a Monster Motorbike. A Beast
Sounds incredible 🔥
Awesome review, stumbled on this account this morning and was surprised to see you driving on foresters way! Hope i bump into you in the shops one day. Keep the good videos coming
You never know, although you're more likely to see me around Camberley. :D
Yes cracknell born and raised 🤙
Same. Priestwood massive. 😂
That's how a bike should sound! Once you have a quick-shifter you can never go back...trust me!!
Nice looking bike
ahhhh the giggles of a happy man
Great piece of kit, not sure the neighbours would appreciate the exhaust😆
They do not! :D
I really like the color of this bike.
Keep it up bro
Ride the rc211v. I believe in you. You can do it!
i know those roads you were going down, i live nearby, perfect for some 'fully legal' hooning!!
Wow, looks awesome, sounds even awesomer.
THE DOWNSHIFTS ARE SOOO FUCKING GOOD
Awesome Bike!! Great review!
Hey love the video. Also what gloves do you have they looks awesome.
Thanks John. The gloves are Oxford Brisbane summer gloves. 👍
Awesome thanks for the quick reply. Super jealous you get to ride that amazing bike. I myself have a kawi z400. Just turned 3000 miles on it the other day. Iv had it sens February hahah. Thansk again
@@joshflisch4849 I meant to write Josh! Damn autocorrect!
Haha it's all good. Just ordered the gloves. Thanks again. Safe riding 😎
@@joshflisch4849 Nice one, enjoy and ride safe.
I’ve just found this video now and I’ve realised that one of the bikes I’ve been hearing around Swinley forest must of been you :P
Not in the last 2 weeks. But I had a for a month before that. Noisy beast! 😁
Great vid, lovely bike. Also I'm sure you have the jacket that I've been looking at, Oxford delta? How is it in this UK heat
Yes Oxford Delta. My favourite summer jacket! It's so hot, we're all melting!
@@Englishbikerdan awesome. Wasn't sure on that one or the delta Air. Sounds like the delta should be enough for our occasional hot days
In Brazil, were i live, Akrapovic full system is over US$2000. Very expensive!
This setup sounds phenom!
What an amazing machine
Lol. “ don’t mind me while I have a moment in my pants!” Hahaha I get that on my Fireblade:-))
Couldn't find the living with the cb1000 video! Ultimate question.....would you want one in your garage ?
Was hoping to get it for longer but sadly not. And yes, I'd love one!
@@Englishbikerdan thanks for the reply . Does it have the low down torque of say the 765 street triple ?

Great video the bike looks and sounds fantastic stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
Fabulous love it and sound is insanely beautiful
Cool looking bike, crazy sound!
My dream bike
great video dan!
Thanks for the video Dan!
Love the paint, sound. Just put the Akrapovic system on my CB650R and love it but I've still got the baffle in it. Remove it....Yes, No?
It's so loud without it but give it a try!
EnglishBikerDan I just might have to.
Nice looking bike👍
Great video , heavenly sound wow 😉🌟👍
This honda cb1000r is stock the desing ?, congratulations!.
No this was a special edition for an event.
This is right by my area. I wonder if your the guy I nearly bought a honda cb500x off. Great videos 👍
Maybe! If it was a 2018 500X.
@@Englishbikerdan it was! 👍 I just got a cb650r, waiting for it to be delivered
It was probably me then! Ah nice, you'll enjoy that. 👍
Don't know whats better your reaction or the bike...
That's a smart looking bike!
Can u do a vdo of Ducati scrambler
It looks fantastic
But damn thats a hella good looking bike
Hi mate 🙂 a question pleez ! Is the Clutch Hydraulic on this bike ?! If not is it possible to install one ?
beautiful bike
Hey Dan, Love the videos! Do you think you could try and get your hands on a Ducati Streetfighter? Would love to see your impressions of it.
I had issues trying to get on Ducati's ages ago. My nearest dealer basically told me to naff off. I think they're owned by someone else now so worth a try. I'll be honest, I'm not really into super powerful bikes on the road. I don't see the point personally especially when there are so many awesome mid range bikes out there.

Because it's not my bike I'm unsure if it came with a baffle, but they usually do.
Lovely sound 😘😘😘
As someone from North America, it kept making me cringe seeing the oncoming traffic coming from the right side of the road!!:-)
im not gonna lie mate, your voice is so similar to dan’s from the slow mo guys
We're never in the same video together..... just sayin'.
I’ve got an 2017 MT09 with full acra system.....agreed, it’s difficult to behave 😉
That exhaust though
All time my favorite motogp bike
Marc marcur
Brilliant video ❤it
Idea for a video - 'Flat foot or fat floot'. Could involve tall bikes and fat arses.
Hey. You should test ride the 2020 panagale v2.
I'd love to!
Anyone know a website to purchase that windscreen/fairing?
I know those roads all to well 😊
Sir How tall are you since u said the saddle is too tall for you? THANKS SO MUCH
I am around 5'7" my friend.
@@Englishbikerdan THANK YOU !!! 🙏🏼👍
My God that sounds good!
Wow that sound!! Have you ever ridden an MT-10? If so how does it compare?
I did a video about 2 years ago. It's in my list somewhere. I'd have to ride one again but I'd say they are very similar!
Ma questo modello, con questi colori, è venduto solo in UK?
Not just the loudest the sexiest too
Ah yes, 60mph in first :D Love it!
I hope
In d refresh model they will use d new engine detune it make it smooth around 165 to 170hp
I'll take it I'll rush to showroom. So pls honda if ur reading this make it happen. I Wana sell my xsr
Eargasm, enough said!!!!
What is the exact exhaust set up please?
