@@Nick-Edwardsdo you think Honda could have pushed even more power with higher revs? But didn't for the sake of torque and reliability? It's got the same bore and stroke as the rcv and the panigale v4r. I know 215 is enough but it would be cool if they made a race Ecu version with 16.5k redline 😂, making near 240 horsepower.
A lighter crankshaft and conrods should increase the speed of the crank spin up on acceleration so that the bike gets into that higher power band faster. I think that we will have to wait for some real world riding reviews from motorcycle journalists to get an idea of how the changes feel.
Bob, I absolutely love the channel and your enthusiasm, delivery style especially when it comes to articulating the facts on the bikes. Re: the new FireBlade I feel it’s the best looking bike since the 2005 GSXR K5 and some of the detailing is exquisite with special mention to the underslung rear brake calliper.

Kudos to Honda for keeping the Japanese liter bikes relevant. @Motobob I don't suppose you've heard if Yamaha ever plans on updating the R1? Anyone who feels the need to chime in about the 2020 refresh, please save it. The R1 is severely lacking at the top end and I'd love to see them back on par with BMW, Ducati, Aprilia and now Honda. I'm a Yamaha guy at heart but may pull the trigger on this Fireblade...it's truly a beautiful bike. @MOTOBOB have you heard a tentative release date for the U.S.?
I think this bike is perfect!? 214 hp is perfect for any regular person riding on the street. I agree so much with "Ben Spies", speed & horsepower is just getting ridiculous now. All I'am looking for is a nice looking bike now. Something that suits me, not looking for what's the fastest, what turns the best, brakes the best, handles the best or which bike is more comfortable. Just something that suits me & what I like. & I love💗 this bike, & when you like something well enough you can make the faults it has work!!!!!
Well done man! Distracted drivers keep me from getting back into it. With channels such as yours showing the latest and greatest, I may have to succumb to lust?
I have a 2005 RC51 which I love and has all the bells and whistles but my 2021 CBR1000RR-R is amazing. Comfort speed handling shifting are all effortless. 15K+ rpm is unreal,
Not a fan of the white part on the front fairing though, the base triple R looks better with the solid red colour that matches with the rest of the body.
I’ve always wanted one it’s such a special bike to me. Was just watching another review mr I’ve got this that and the other in my garage and ms this one underperforms but he’s got chicken strips on both sides almost 2 inches wide. Apparently there are no corners where he lives 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They need to make a smol version of this for absolute biggners like r15 is to r6 cheap smol easy to ride tuneabls motorcycle for trackdays that train you to ride r6 in future
I had two cbr 1000rrs (2018 & 2019) and as much as I enjoyed their reliability & solid design I got rid of them and got a 2017 & 2018 bmw s1000rr, I do miss the lightness of the bike & the TFT display BUT I don’t miss having freezing hands on the long highway rides to work & also not having cruise control, I was a honda fan boy for almost a decade but I moved on 😌
@@ricardog4459 no cruise control, no heated grips, auto blipping / quick shift doesn’t even come stock on the models you have to pay more for that, the only reason why I “upgraded” from my 2015 was because of the tft display & new design
@@ricardog4459 exactly I literally “downgraded” years wise to the older s100rr that doesn’t have a fancy tft display BUT has literally everything else you would need from a super sport if you have extra cash to Spend just get the 2019+ bmw s1000rr it has everything that the cbr 1000rr has and a lot more. In my opinion honda is just lazy and hates making big changes to their machines
The panigale v4's have had the warm up, soft limiter from 2018. It's 7k rpm on my bike. Honda needed to do something with this bike, sales have been terrible. It was to small, peg and bar wise for a normal sized person. Massively over geared and with the tracker fitted, unreliable.
thats in the USA because of emissions. with an exhaust and atune to get rid of the emission limitations i heard they go up to 230-240, theres a clip on youtube of a guy in turkey going 345kmh+ on one of these!

I watch a lot of your videos but this one sucks. I’ll tell you why IMO. the camera jumps around so much you don’t see anything. From split second closeups to a distant view of a rider where you still can’t see the what motorcycle is being reviewed, back to split second closeups and jumping around. I’m not alone here. I’ve read other comments asking to slow it down and for zoom outs to get a descent look at what the video is all about. The MOTORCYCLE ! Watch your the video before you upload it and decide for yourself if you like what you see. I don’t care if your crew does this all day everyday for a living. Other TY channels do the same, but it does make it right. Let’s stop following trends that really do not work. If the viewer is not satisfied then the efforts are in vein. It’s annoying.
Sport bikes should just sack the 1000 cc capacity. It was good for a 180hp or so engine. Now with power figures in excess of 200hp, it is guaranteed you have a feeble low and mid end. Just pump it up 100cc or so and you have a MUCH more versatily engine.
I'll wait for the RR- RRRR- R edition

Shoutout to Motobob for the work ethic and quality
🙏🙏🙏
I enjoyed this video and appreciate your coverage of the new Fireblade from EICMA!
🙏 hope you’re well mate!
Will you be adding this to your collection 👀?
If only Honda's management would run Honda as good as you do your videos Motobob. Us Honda fans would be some really happy campers.
That’s all you need honestly. The old one was solid, but now it’s actually a modern bike. Plenty of people should love this update.
0:19 - ideal rider mod.
1:21- non ideal rider mod.

The new fire blade CBR 1000 looks awesome, but i'm curious about the new CBR 600.
what about that?
Gotta love the automatic access to a lawyer and optional license shredder under the triple clamp.

Thanks alot , appreciated
The bike now is looking absolutely perfect, minimal wing and sharper face this is what i wanted.

i hope they’ll have a dct version of this CBR😅. I can’t ride manual bike so i’m hoping to see sports bike with DCT.
Return to glory, Honda.
What an absolute beast!!
Great Video and run down of the new 2024 blade, i will be chopping my 2020 RR-R in for a 2024 RR-R :) thanks for a great insight.
God why don’t you let me win the lottery
Man if only they would announce a new VFR... one can dream
More episodes than East Enders this week. Top man 👍
I still love my 2003 Honda CBR954RR more.😁

The added mid-range and comfort is what it's all about for Street riders.
the WSBK riders also wanted more mid range to accelerate out of corners
Honda might even make a competitive bike one day for WSBK.
I’ll wait for the RR-RRRR pro max
I’m falling in love…
6:03
They just modeled the headlights from catfish with the chin winglets even more if they replaced the triangle lamp with eyeballs projectors
😂😂😂
Needs more R's for me to be interested, RR-R was so last year
😂👌
Hi Bob not enough changes for me, lovely looking bike though
This is good for putting pressure on all the brands. Lets go. Superbikes NEVER die.
Just the people on them.l😮

I'm guessing there will be no update on the "CBR750R" this year right?
Not to my knowledge ☹️
I doubt it considering they have updated the 650R series.
I loved everything until I heard you mention the variable redline. That sounds like it would be a major pain in the a55.
Lovin it..!! 💥🤘🏼❤️🔥🤘🏼
Hi Bob, Any substance to the new VFR rumours?
Not to my knowledge tbh
Shoutout to Honda Soichiro for creating such an amazing company, and who graced our restaurant in Adelaide for their F1 break up party.
Been a busy lad today😊
I love this bike❤
I think the updates are great it's just the looks of the fairing ain't striking me
I just wish Honda would put a real fuel gauge on it & the new 600RR, instead of estimated range/miles to go.
My respects to the models sitting on the bikes all day o7
If I could be a seat😊
Waiting for R-RR SP-SP Limited Edition
Why you not checking out the f99
Deliberately reduced rigidity? Wow.
Back to Kawasaki 750 H2 widowmaker times? 😂
How much like a panigale is that back end 😂
Ayyyeee, if it looks good, then its alright!
Is it coming to USA?
Fantastice bike...
Lol I wonder if America is ever gonna get the updated blade
Would you be covering the CBR600RR as well?
Will you cover Moto Morini aswell? If you have the chance of course.
I will try!

Should be a great commuter.... :)
This bike will retail for 29 or 30 thousand for rrr
Ten grand per ARE😊
The only missing on this bike that I can think of is a set of forge aluminum or carbon wheels to get more weight savings.
You're right! I forgot that it doesn't have those, and at this price that's definitely holding it back.
Honda bring back their V4 like the RC51and make CBR1000 Kuwaddo R V4 and make the bike slimmer....
They needs to bring there v5 engine.. they can make fastest street bike
This might be the end of the in-line 4. Next we will see the V4. So it will be Aprilia, Ducati and Honda show’em how it’s done.
A very tidy rear end.
When you say grand which currency do you mean.
Still waiting for the nx500 video bob .. hope you make it❤
Coming soon 😎
This bike lack of acceleration with long gear ratio, i hope new update can improve
Where is the super Duke 1390?
i asked 44teeth the same thing on their review of the duke 990. I personally think that ktm will probably wait until early next year to release it.
👍
No updates to CBR1000RR ?
I hope they improve the tail light. For me its so basic. .
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
wish honda offered more colors......
I'll wait for the pirate edition.....AaRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr😂😂😂
About the specs
Yaww the perfect one for me 🎉
The lady probably has back problems after this show
2023 it was $28,900. Even if I win the lottery big, maybe not.
They claim all that power but it doesn’t show on Dyno nor the drag strip 😮 once again Honda playing safe!

300 unit limited edition...probably Honda still have a hard time selling the 300 units.
that's for the carbon edition if i understood that correctly
At last a great first big bike 🙄
Way overpriced the RRR , its really no better than a current R1 or GSXR
Lucky to get 180 out of it on a dyno. Mid range is quite weak too. We have tested 3 or 4. S1000r or v4 makes a lot more in all areas.
Dont forget to add roadside assistance for those two examples you mentioned....
