Thank you

Not the biggest fan of the naked bike segment but that Honda is definitely the best looking naked model out of the big 4.
Hey, most bikes are tuned with a rider in mind. Its an impossibility for Honda to simultaneously tune this bike for a 150 pound rider and a 250 pound rider. If you are weighing in at 200-250, it is a disservice to make comment without respect to that attribute. Some 5'7" guy that weighs 150 may think the suspension feels like rocks. Please and sorry, no offense meant whatever...
well said
I just get mine and is perfect for me.
I'm to old for a super sport bike and to young for a cruiser. I'm 55 weeee
all susnpension is made for folks with weight around 70-80kg so dont be suprised if you weight 120kg and suspension is as sharp as you read in reviews.
I am buying one of these this week and my first thing is ordering a new Nitron rear shock. Put them on all my bikes. top shocks for the money.
You should always get front and rear suspension sprung to your weight 99% of bikes are sprung 80nm I'm 15 stone in all my gear I need 9.5nm springs my mate is 18 stone and ktech said he needs a 10nm spring we took em on a few track days before and after the spring conversion and it's great now with heavy breaking at the end of donny straight and park at cadwell. Never buy a bike and think its gonna be perfect for you out the box
Having the right springs for your weight is the key to getting the suspension right. I replaced the front springs on my 2013 CB 1000R, and the rear shock is now a Nitron R1 w/hydrolic pre-load ajuster. Then set the compression and rebound damping to your suiting. I also improved the front brakes with new EBC rotors and HH pads, and braided lines.
This guy is really funny. Had bike for 10 days, didn't know about blue light on the dash, but didn't ask Honda dealer… lol! Better have a lamb chop, mate!
If you weigh 65-80 kgs the rear suspension should be fine.
If you watch Andycam he doesn’t have a problem and he throws the bike into corners. But he did say the standard tyres are no good.
Man, you always have the best engine sound of any bike channel. Period. I would watch/listen for that alone! thank you LCR.
Traded in my 2013 VFR1200F for this bike. I loved the VFR. I love this one more. Much of it has to do with its being 120 lbs lighter. The VFR was like flying a B2 bomber. This is more like a stealth fighter. The VFR wasn't happy in 6th gear below 50 mph. The CB1000r doesn't care how slow you're going, it accelerates with smooth power at 25 mph even in 6th gear. I DO have the manual on the bike, and you can make those colored lights on the right side mean practically anything you want. I had a hard time with the computer, so my lights merely indicate which gear I'm in - -yellow / red / purple / dark blue / light blue / green. Of course, I could simply look at the gear indicator, but the colored lights are pretty.
I've owned a vfr 1200 for 5 years and it's a great bike but yes it's a tank. I also own a beautiful cb1300s for 16 years but was going to trade in for one of these but....Reading reports the suspension isn't great and also the paint easily scratches and peels off. Did you find that in your case?
I have one. I’m a fat boy. I put Ohlins on the back and Micuni cartridges up front. Now it handles WAY better.
I miss the low down grunt of the previous model, but this one looks so much better.
Absolutely agree on the low down grunt point
I just got my CB1000R and have been riding in rain mode for now because it has been raining , great is the word that describes the pick up around town where I have been mainly using it and in part on main roads. Pick up is very satisfying being able to leave traffic without any fuss or drama. It is very well balanced at low speeds providing confidence in U-turns and filtering. The steering is direct giving very good feedback which inspires you to change direction with ease. The exhaust note is a low satisfying hum accompanied with burbles and pops when you release the throttle and change gear, A great bike that looks, sounds and run and will keep you thinking you are lucky to be able to ride it.
The light on the side is configurable. The manual explains how. It can indicated mode, shift timing, economy, etc.
i've had one of these for a few months, and absolutely love it, it's the first bike i've had that's made me think "i'm keeping this forever". my only 2 complaints are that after 3 years on a vfr it feels really windy, and the tank range feels short but probably isn't. handling-wise... a tippy cruiser? nicely balanced and set up, user-friendly and confidence inspiring to throw around, but doesn't pretend to be a naked fireblade. I'd actually go the other way with the sprockets though and lower the rpms, i keep trying to put it in 7th on the motorway and it could definitely pull it
that pointless light thing changes colour depending on what gear you're in, and can be configured to flash like a shift indicator at whatever rpms you set it for. it would be better if you could have the rev counter as a speedo and the main display being a satnav, but bikes don't seem to want to play that game yet
I did a test ride with the CB1000R several days ago. It was a 15 minute short test ride. This bike is so comfortable to ride on. The engine is very smooth and powerful. The transmission is butterly smooth. The up and down quick shifter is super smooth. If I ride this as my primary bike, I think I end up losing the riding skills to ride other bikes without quick shifter.
You wont lose the skill to manual change but you will miss the QS when accelerating hard. I dont use the QS at low revs around town. If your worried than manual shift sometimes. Do you clutchless shift up now?
The light can be configured to do different things. Currently it is telling you what gear you are in.
Like telling you that you are in 2nd when actually you are in 1st. Ha Ha
Totally agree with complains about rear shock absorber. It lacks compression settings and stock spring is too soft for average European rider. But its significant for experienced riders I guess and easily fixable
I’m getting mine on Wednesday. Thanks for the in depth review, Lamb Chops. U are the best. You are a very positive and enjoyable person.
Many other reviews don't agree with you on the handling and your opinion on the so called flat engine, but then again it could have something to do with your height or weight that you don't get the positive feel and confidence inspiring handling that others talk about. And i know there is a way to see how much fuel is left in the tank so the thing about not being able to see how many km/miles left in the tank can't really annoy anyone. Anyways nice review and cool looking helmet.
Own one as a second bike,, Needs new rear shock , that plus set up front end transforms the way this bike handles.
Great fun
Picked mine up last week - I totally love it! Got the plus model, the quick shift is amazing!
Very Cool !!! Enjoy your New Honda!
Changes I made to my bike: Eventually I put Michelin Road 6 tires on ti, I put Ohlins suspension, and smaller front sprocket, slightly larger rear, it makes a difference, though even with ohlins it has a weird characteristic (I'm used to mostly having Supersport, my other naked bike veing a 2020 Super Duke R I raded it, and Yamaha R1M & Kawasaki ZX-10R and Jixer R1000 as previous bikes (though I had like ZX-6Rs in 3 or 4 different verions for like 16 to 17 years)
I do love the looks of this bike. and since I use it as a road biek (has he said, a Roadster)
The color light changes depending on what gear your in. And at higher RPM's, the light it will start to flash faster as the RPM increase.
Can see it syncing with the gear changes at 12:16
Can it be turned off?
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now I Don't think so. I kind of like the feature.
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now I don't believe so.
I think the reason your feeling a bit detached from the front end could be the tyres? The standard types are not very good on some of them?
The light is configurable and I guess by default its indicating the engine braking...
So... Trading in my SV650S for a 2008 CB100R. Have heard amazing things about this machine. So lookin forward to the Great Leap Forward.
Great video btw!
After following one of these at the weekend ( he was fare going ) I was impressed and on pulling up next to him thought the bike looked really nice tail tidy makes for a better back end look..
140 od horses are just right for a Sunday ride out and honda do really nice build quality. The wheelie capability is exactly whats needed for an enjoyable ride too, it could be a possible next bike depending how it feels I'm a 6,2er and no light weight..
Keen watcher of yours thanks love your riding style..
I've got a CB125R, and it has a white REV indicator light, and I think is the mysterious light on the CB1000R has the same function. You can alter the settings by holding down the 'SEL' button, whilst turning the ignition switch to the | (On) position. I'm doing my full 'A' licence soon, I've already had training on a CB650R, and I'm looking for my first big bike, and this is on my list!
Just looking at my CB1000R manual. The 'T' letter on the display is showing Torque Control level rather than traction control. 'P' for power and 'EB' for engine brake. When the 1st EMPTY fuel indicator segment starts flashing, odometer switches to the reserve tripmeter, so you do know how many kms you have left on the fuel you got in the tank. Once you refuel, the odometer reading comes back on. I believe the tripmeter can be adjusted.
Looks also like this bike has factory heated grips installed.
doesnt show remaining litres/mile though it shows litres miles ridden so yes if you have 3,5 litres reserve you have an indication,on the blade i had before this it told me how many miles i had left which would be useful on thsi as my fuel light comes on way too early at about 11.5 litres when it should come on at 12.7 approx

At your size you would need to re spring almost any bike to get a true evaluation of the boingers.....stiffer springs probably help a lot but understand not justified for just testing/reviewing
Watching this from US makes me squirm every time a car approaches as it seems you’re riding on the wrong side of the road.
Nice detailed follow up review. They should let you keep it and do some modding work (suspension, map etc like you do) to show owners how they can make the bike their own and improve those nagging faults spoiling such a nice bike.
Yes they should 😃
@ 10:40 Lol, Dude how is that not the High Beam indicator? (I did read some comments)
Been dropping in on my local Honda dealer for a spin on one of these for a while now but of course, its always out. Can't be arsed booking a ride in case of shite weather. By the looks, It could be one of the very few bikes to prize my hands from the grips from my Street Triple.
The blue light changes depending what mode. Mine is red for sport blue standard and turquoise rain. Flashes white to change gear. Pink shift down or build the revs up
I got this bike, LOVE it but I did a couple of mods. FIrst, changed sprokets to make it accelerate even faster. Bar end Mirrors, and most important, Ohlins suspension (shock and forks). That made a huge idfference!. I did also get a windscreen I can pop on (screw, really) if I go on long road trips.
The dash light is multi function and set by the rider, who can also configure the light off!
you're spot on on the Mods. Had this for about a year, and this is what I've done: New shocks (I'm a fan of Ohlins, can't help it), and smaller front sprocket, slightly larger rear sprocket, That makes a HUGE difference! LOVE the look and sound of the bike. , though I put a Yoshimira exhaust on mine. did take it on a long trip and wish it had cruise control (I think its an oversight, when manufacturers like Yamaha have it on the MT-09 and MT-10). Oh, I'm also runing Micheling road 6 tires on it now (buddy recomended those, think they're great match for the bike sofar). Can't wait until winter's over here and the ice/snow is gone so I can ride the bike again! I am looking ot add (if any good sugestions) a wind screen and some saddlebags I may trow on for a weekend trip from time to time, but those would be mods I put on ust for the long trip, and leave off most the time. I do have a rear seat bag that's handy (lets me lock my helmet in it, and if I have a rider in teh back seat, can be used as a backpack, though it looks funny that way (soI made the back seater wear it :)
When you change to ohlins ....for all this costs you can buy a perfekt Speed Triple 1200 RS!
the light shows the driving mode you choose
My Yamaha also lacks the miles till empty but I decided that is Yamaha trying to avoid liability for someone running out of fuel in a dangerous place. Because fuel milage can vary a LOT like on my bie all the way from low 30's up into the 50's (US gallons) So how could Yamaha indicate how many miles are left in the tank? SO instead they gave me A. fuel guage that indicates empty about the same time the B. low fuel light comes on but with 1.5 US gallons STILL in the tank leaving me the ONE thing I rely on most which is the C. Fuel consumed reading...Pretty simple to instantly know the difference between tank capacity and the fuel consumed and then if I need to I can go lighter on the throttle or not dependant on where my next fuel stop is Maybe though to get around liability issue they could intrude on your ride mode settings at a certain point to help make sure a "miles left till empty" reading is accurate? Yes cars give us miles to empty but then you are surrounded by metal and a plethora of airbags and belts etc so it is not as dangerous to suddenly have the motor die on four wheels compared to two
Hello Lamb Chops, It's the first time that I'm watching your video and I think your review sold the bike for me! I think I'm going to purchase it soon. I had an XSR900 previously and I loved it, but it was a bit too much of a hooligan for me :D I think the CB1000R will give me the smoothness which the XSR was lacking.
It is a eco light, but there is a menu on it where u can customize what color u want it to show when u drive economically
Wow, great test run of your CB1000, looks like you are getting it dialed in for your taste.
Great reveiw, good to hear an opinion, not just journalistic garb. Thanks
Great professional review Lamb Chops. Nice to see our local roads - I’m off for a ride! Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm only 60kg so the "soft" suspension would probably suit me.
P.S. you don't have to say "outside" air temperature on a motorcycle 😉 😆
I'm guessing the new Aprilia RSV4 Factory as your next roadtest? :D
Thanks for this review, I enjoyed watching it!
There are 2 bikes that I know of so far that I wouldn't change the standard exhaust for an aftermarket.......this one & the Suzuki gsxr 1000 k5.
2018 cbr 1000 SP, sounds amazing and finish is outstanding
@ ....Make it 3.
Hi LCR,
Try again the 2020 model. Must be much better now.
Nice to see how Honda respons to the users👏
Honda has corrected all (most) of your “negative” points.
I’m looking forward to seeing/hearing your new findings 🤔
Thanks for all the beautiful videos 👌🏻
Friendly regards from Zuid Limburg Netherlands.
🙋♂️ Jos
Bullshit! They nothing change better! All the same shit on black edition 2021 !!! Only costs more!
My 650R has the same traction control off button. I LOVE it! I don't much care to actually switch it off just yet, but I love that they put a switch in there *just* for that and it's in a really convenient place.
I think one of the other comments mentioned that the colours of that light are a gear indicator. On my 650R it's just one colour (white) and is just a regular (adjustable) shift indicator.
Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love your channel LCR - I bought my CB1000R in part to your review - I felt it was the right bike for me and I really love it. Great review - thanks!
Thanks glad you like it 👍👍
Its not a race Bike! Only for smooth Riding
Chops great review again. This one I can vouch for as I have the bike. I’m currently looking at replacing the rear shock as it’s useless. Too soft. As for the coloured light, it can act as an on the hour indication, fuel economy, different colour for every gear, and a shift up light. You can turn them all off as I have except for the shift up indicator.
Ah that explains it thanks you 👍
That’s a great looking and awesome ride 👍 Honda quality, couple of tweaks, great all rounder
They’re loaning you the new RSV4!?! Those guys must REALLY love you, can’t wait for the video!!!
Jason Smith desperate to sell the things
Yes very lucky and it's incredible.. partly ruined the GSXR for me now! Shame I can't afford one 🙁
bike sounds good even with a stock muffler.
The light bar on the dash has a multi function,gear indicator,mode indicator ,change up indicator ,economy and low fuel,possibly something else too,i switch most this off and i think it only now flashes when its green im riding sensibly and for when my rev level is approaching the redline
Great review, RSV4 1100 factory coming up, can't wait...
Holding down the select button lets you change what the LED light does. Can change to shift light for example.
that blue lamp turn green when you're in eco mood whitch does not happen often :)
Thorough as ever Mr Lamb Chop! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Back wheel further out i think, Not front making it feel willowy. When they make bikes longer for looks and style. You will loose handling i think. Still seems to handle well enough though and looks pretty cool.
Rider height and leg comfort? Rough idea of ride time before needing a stretch? What IS it really like in those bloody important areas?
Thanks for the review! This is much more valuable than repeating the specs.
I wonder of this might replace my 919 someday.. Seems to be a similar idea.
S1000R still for me, still not a fan of the front light though, but dont look at it from the cockpit.
How does the Suzuki Katana compare to the Honda Cb1000r? In terms of handling, comfort and street use. Thanks in advance
I like it. I'm looking to just have fun riding a four naked. Always liked Hondas. Had a 500F, 919, Nighthawks...
I love honda i had the honda hornet cb 600 long time ago i would definitely again but i started doing motocamping with my wife so is not the ideal one .....i decided for GS1250
Love the quality and the looks but in this class it is so competitive and I think I'd pass on this one. Nice review as ever chopsy👍💪
What a beautiful bike!
I was looking at one at my local dealer and it looks like it would be a real pain in the a** to adjust the chain. The plate holder severely limits access to the bolts that one would need to loosen to adjust it. Other than that, it's a beautiful machine.
It’s fine you just need the right size Allen key socket in length . I know what your saying though when I first went to adjust my chain I thought the same .
Throw it in the bin and put a tailtidy on - the bike looks loads better too
No that’s one of the many things I love about this bike it’s different
paul horton mine came straight off !
@@paulhorton5594 That's what the weird-ass exhaust is there for! :)
It looks like you set indicator for a gear indication. Each gear different color. There are no excuse about have no manual. It is available on Honda website, can be found and downloaded in a minute.
Can you post a link please? I tried to google it, only found 2008 versions.
OK, googling wouldn't be da wae, manually clicking through Honda.com did the job
cdn.powersports.honda.com/documentum/MWOM/ml.remawmom.2018_31mkj600_cb1000ra.pdf
@@jaromor8808 I have printed manual only. "LINE" modes described from page 41 to 50
I just read elsewhere the blue light on dash is fuel economy where green is good and blue is less good? Im guessing Lamb dude never saw green lol
The disco on the rhs of the clocks is distracting and has different coloured lights to show which riding mode you are in, plus an additional eco function that glows green to tell you when you have closed the throttle. It’s hard to think of anything that would be more pointless, but thankfully, while trying to work out how to change riding modes you will probably accidentally switch it off anyway.
Deals to be had on this model now (standard and plus) as I thought original RRP was a little steep!
Thanks to your review(s) LCR I've now put a deposit on the plus model in black.
TMF didn't really like it compared to the Z900RS, however I already own a 2001 ZX9R so I didn't really want/need the Z900RS?!
I think your review was "spot on", thanks again LCR
Thanks Iain, few little tweaks like gear change and it will be awesome too!
@@LambChopRides Thanks for the reply LCR.
Nicely done Mr C - I think you have given this bike a very fair review. 👍
Looking for an overview / comparison vid of this, Z1000, GSX-S1000 and MT10?
John, this 1000 is all very nice and lovely but we need a CB650R review, mate! We're not all made of money!
I'll have a full review out shortly of the CB650R. Would have loved to get the 1000 but after watching this I think maybe the 650 is a better road bike.
Yes hoping that can be arranged with Wheels soon 👍
@@LambChopRides Will be nice to see your review, I know I'm biased as I bought one.
@@Englishbikerdan I test rode one myself recently too. Was pleasantly surprised by the bike as a package although, I'm quite tall at 6ft 4,and was surprised by the reach to the bars. More committed than the new Gsxr1000 I thought, great bike though and looks superb. Rear end looks a bit unfinished I thought, but love the front of it. Look forward to your review! Maybe should have done one myself! 😂
@@twistandgo3414 Did you ride the CBR version? If so I agree about the rear end, just feels like laziness not to make it look more like it's big brother the Fireblade.
It's too bad that the throttle feel couldn't be more consistent bike to bike. I rode one yesterday that had disturbingly snatchy throttle. I was considering buying it but because of the throttle I'm hesitating. Unfortunately no other dealers have them available to test so I have no other bikes to try.
The only Honda I've only Owen was the one of top ten bikes made Cbr954rr and it's mint condition in sleeping since 2008. Love the big it's too bad they didn't put real engine.
Iv been hoping to ride and make a video on my mates cb1000r now I want to do it even more!
This or the GSX-S1000, Chopsy?
Was wondering the same thing.
@@EazyeSAE Which one do you prefer?
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o I just bought a 2020 GSX-S1000 and love it! Plenty of power and still handles great. I can still ride it comfortably for hours though.
@@EazyeSAE Maybe more low-down whoomph than the CB1000R, too?
Handling is a big deal to me, and I certainly don't want to have to use the rear brake prior to entering a corner. It sounds like Honda needs to shorten the wheelbase.
Or you could have the adjustable suspension adjusted to your weight...?
Looks like the light goes red when you're in first gear. Good review thanks.
Nice thorough review! Shame it's not as good as I'd hoped, especially the suspension.
mate this bike amazing. go for test. believe me you will love it.
@@daviddvz676 I'll give one a go!
I love this bike but the suspension sucks from what every reviewer says so I'm turned off by it. I'd like to see a front winscreen option be integrated.
The suspension is adjustable.
The front suspension is fine, it's the rear that's too soft.
Aren’t y’all taught about trail braking when learning to ride? Isn’t there some equivalent to MSF courses we have in the US?
I’ve been looking at this bike a lot; I miss my 919/CB900F/Hornet, and have been content with my CB500F ABS but I think it’s time to get back on a liter bike and quite certain this is going to be my next bike.
That bike is too big for those roads. If you’re going to demand sport perfection on these roads, you would be happier with a CB 600r. As a mature rider I would enjoy this bike more for its brute force although heavy, but I’m no hooligan.
I got one as my first litre bike (not been riding for long either) use it for my 60 mile round b road commute and think the downsides for you re suspension and relatively tame engine are what sold it for me as approachable!
May have a play with the suspension though - any tips on what you adjusted? In a heavy lad too so curious how to tweak.
How is this bike comparing with gsxs1000 as i can buy them for the same price but confused which one to go with
CHOOOPPSSSS actually keen on hearing what you think of this bike.
Why none of the reviewers shows the part when you turn the ignition on, we want to hear that start sound.
I know Honda or any other brand will not do it but I'd love a four into four exhaust. I don't care about the weight or extra cost but the cat underneath they must.
Great review.. I think however the most important part of any “sports” bike is the handling THE MOST important characteristic so if it’s not at the very least ‘really good’ then it’s a dud hands down. So if you don’t think it handles well that’s not a small thing. But I’ve heard other reviews say it’s great so perhaps it’s an adjustment thing 🤷♂️
The only thing that put me off from buying one was the number plate part.. Looks stupid and not sure if you can put a tail tidy on it under the seat or not.
Great Video! Thanks for sharing.
If all goes well, I'll have mine this coming weekend in red, great review and thanks!
Was it a good deal?
Not sure if it's answered already but the light is a multi-function light. Blue is User power mode, Magenta is Sport mode, I forget the other 2 mode colours. It will flash slow then fast white when reaching the adjustable shift light rev range. I believe there is other functions but do not remember off-hand.
That front end can’t be right if you can’t use the front break before going into a corner. Do you think a heavyer fork oil would fix it . It would make it more positive on the front end. You got a have confidence in the front end or it an’t worth riding.
