- We review the new 2021 Honda CB1000R Black Edition motorcycle.
We give YOU the essence of what this motorbike is all about! Not just a ton of specs but real information so you can make your buying decision.
We rev it to the max! Just listen to the loud inline 4 engine scream!
How fast is it? Is it a good first bike? Is it too hot to handle? We find out!
We look at the handling, cornering, stability, engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes, steering geometry (rake and trail), seat height, styling, power and torque, lights, and more!
How is it for taller riders? We will let you know.
Father and son team Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man are experienced bikers and know what we are talking about.

I wanted to say thank you for the thorough review that really captures the bikes personality. I picked one up last week because of your review.
Thanks buddy! Really glad it helped you make a decision 👍🏼👍🏼
@@makomadeira5799 I absolutely love it. Around 3000 miles so far. It's an incredible machine and easy to live with.
Is it as good as I hope? I'm getting one...
I have the 2020 Honda CB1000R Plus and it really is a brilliant bike. I am not a good enough rider to maximise its abilities, but I love it regardless.
I watched this review when it was recent and I just knew I had to get my hands on this black edition CB1000R. I could not get it 2 years ago because there weren't really available where I live so I decided to wait and so I did just that. Now, 2 years later I am happy to share that I finally got one and oh Boy, was the wait worth it. Thank you Guys for this fantastic video on this Gem of a Motorcycle.
Awesome to hear, enjoy your new ride 👍🏼
I'm delighted with my 2018 model. The new Black Edition looks very sharp though. The rear suspension could be better, but overall it's an excellent Jekyll-and-Hyde motorcycle. Definitely a keeper!
Awesome! Yes definitely!
I don’t care how old you are, if you’re a gear head, there’s never enough speed. :-)
I’m a seasoned citizen and still love twisting the throttle when the opportunity arises. The thing to remember is always know your limitations.
Safety fast as they say!
Just letting you guys know that your video is one of the contributing factors for my purchasing this bike. Besides my Fireblades, it's one of the best bikes I have ever bought. It fits my needs 90% of the time.
Thanks buddy! Good to know. Safety Fast! 👊🏼
Got 1 its a 2018 model with some cool Options that i changed on it. I LOVE it evry minute when i get a chance to ride it. Great review by the way. More Power and Style for this budget is impossible !!!
Right on! Good to hear bro!
the naked bike is the best of both worlds: fun like a sport bike and comfy like a cruiser. And this new honda is def a great option in that category..
Yes definitely 👍🏼
I took one for a test ride a couple of weeks back, absolutely stunning machine. My ride home on my VFR800 after seemed like it was navigating through treacle. I'm 5'8" and had no issues with getting both feet almost flat and shunting it around. I'm hanging off until September to get one, when the plates go over to 72.
Awesome! Good luck with that 👍🏼👍🏼
In terms of design, the Honda CB1000R seems very accomplished. Cool bike! If I were a young man who practiced martial arts, and rode blistering fast motorcycles, the Black Edition would definitely have been high on my wish list. and it's a Honda, so you know it's of amazing quality. Anyway - great review, and great video!
Thanks my friend 👍🏼 I like your point!
Hello, I am also a veteran rider, I have been riding motorcycles for over 38 years, and among many of the motorcycles I have owned are, in order, the Honda CB 250, CB 500 and CB 900 HORNET. I am currently voluntarily retired from motorcycling, and have a Vespa from the 90s and a Honda Forza 350 to work with. I have seen many videos of motorcycles, but watching your video has encouraged me to return to the road, from what I have seen, the characteristics of the CB 1000 R are very similar to those of the CB 900 HORNET, but improved in power and in electronic aids, and reduced weight. Aesthetically it is brutal. At the end of July, at the Honda dealer in my city (Valencia, Spain), I had ordered an X ADV to replace my Forza 350 (scooter = scooter) that they were going to bring me in a few months. They had a beautiful red CB 1000 R in stock, but I didn't initially consider it to be my everyday bike. I went to the dealer this morning and asked for a test. They didn't have the CB 1000 R to test, but they did have the CB 650 R (I tried it the year it came out but there was a lot of delay in delivery) and I've driven about 40 miles on all kinds of roads, even in the city. A true delight, but for me it lacked the plus that the CB 900 HORNET gave me, so I have concluded that my everyday motorcycle is going to be the CB 1000 R. And the best: I am back on the road. Thank you very much for your way of informing, it is direct and pleasant. Keep going.
OK that’s great! Glad the video helped 👍🏼
Crazy to think that’s one of the slower naked bikes as well compared to the mt10 , super duke r and Aprilia
Yes more than enough tbh. Great for track days etc
I bought a 2021 demo CCRed standard version with 1,400kms. I'm going crazy waiting to take delivery - hence why I am bingeing on RUclips videos 😁 This is one of the better CB1000R videos out there!
Awesome! But shame about the wait. Thanks buddy 👍🏼
How is it?
@@gregory7720 Absolutely smitten! Every movement is almost telepathic. You think it, the bike reacts immediately. Only gripe is the location of the horn button. So infuriating riding around hooting like an absolute twat. I sold my 2017 GSX-S750 to get this but still have a 2017 V-Strom 650XT as a daily driver. Will take time to aclamatize. But the performance is out of this world! Especially seeing that I sold my GSX last August.
You guys are brilliant. Thanks for making such a compréhensive video. Stay safe.
Mine comes in June! I cant wait!
Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
Great vid as usual, often stop by to see what you reviewing . Remember when this was coming out think it was 2018 love it went straight to the dealers just to sit on it. 2023 now and still trying to justify buying one 👍
Whaaat?! I searched this Bike but did NOT expect you dudes to review it! Bravo! Im totally thinkin of buyin one🤘🏻😎
Haha we get what we can! Thanks buddy 👌🏼
Great video guys..loved the revving..cheers...also great sense of speed and agility from the bike with the onboard shots...they look and sound great .bike looks smashing
Thanks buddy! We tried to get over what the bike is like for riders 👍🏼👍🏼
Best review for the new Honda CB1000R I've seen. Made me feel as though I too were riding it.
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Best review of this bike,so good I went out and bought one 😊
Cool to see you on something different, it sounds epic & that flicks really nicely from side to side. A bit too modern for me but I have seen them in person before and they certainly do turn heads. catch you soon,
Jack
Thanks buddy. Insanely fast! A great track day machine 👍🏼
nice test, you gave me the need to test it in my dealer shop.!
Thanks buddy. Go for it 👍🏼
Great review (as usual)! Have not been interested in this bike before but it definitely appeals more now!
Thanks buddy that’s good to hear 👍🏼
Thanks for the great review guys!
Thanks for watching!
Stunning motorcycle! Fast, nimble and reliable, great combination for a naked bike! Great review guys!
Yes spot on. Thanks buddy 👍🏼
Amazing review. Really all you need to know about a bike. Thanks!
Great review once again. Beautiful looking bike! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks bro 👍🏼
100% accurate. When you guys review it is the on,y review one ever needs. Thank you Mates! Ride safe and ride often.
Thanks buddy! Nice of you to say 💯👍🏼
Great video gentlemen, thank you very much
Thanks buddy
Great Review! Thank you very much!
Many greetings from Germany
Thanks my friend! 👍🏼
great review! cannot wait to get mine, in June. I ordered a 230mm black widow system full exhaust for it.... it is going to be an epic summer my frens
Wow that’s going to sound awesome! Ride safe 👍🏼
I have a scrambler & its been my favorite bike so far. I like this bike a lot. Need to test it. Great review! Thanks!
Definitely worth a testride 👍🏼
It was a great review, not that that matters as much to me as the fact that that all of your videos are superb! Comedy value is always there, together with the important stuff! Seeing Odin riding a bike is worth it initself, and of course odins spawn always delivers! Bravo! On a negative side; you have cost me a fortune in purchasing bikes already!
Thanks buddy. Ahh sorry 💰💰
Yep. I’ve seen all that I need to. I have got to get me one of these
Great Review!!
It’s like a Modern Cafe Racer.
Love the channel Bruv!
Thanks buddy! 💯👍🏼
Only motorcycle I ever ride is an Honda grom. 2018 and 2023 grom I owned now. I love riding now. This is my dream bike and hopefully my first big bike.
Finally an amazing review
Thanks bud
Great video thanks for sharing, I am thinking about getting this bike, here in the US.
Excellent! Thanks very much 👍🏼
Great review, I wish you discussed the suspension more. Is it preload/rebound/compression adjustable front and back?
“It will change direction like a squirrel being chased by a fox” 😂 classic comment OM..love it!
Hope your leg is mending well..atb..Alan
Such a beautiful bike.😍
I appreciate the review.
Definitely! Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
In my opinion it’s the nicest bike out there.
I've owned this black addition since April 21 fresh in from Bransons of Yeovil, great machine I love around the Dorset County roads. Intend to keep. Great review. Kind regards Lee Willmington. 52
Fabulous! Certainly a bike for keeps! 👍🏼
Enjoyable video to watch on a wet Friday pm. Good to see that your thatch is in good nick, & the green paintwork is standing up to the weather we're having. Hadn't realised you were local to me - I often ride the roads around Uppingham, Harborough & that winding route up to Melton Mowbray. Can't wait for some sunshine so I can get out there on my new RE Conti GT 650.
The CBR? Lovely - I had one of the originals (2009 plate) & it was all the bike you would need - fast, stylish, comfy - & with the cachet of a fireblade motor. This new one is a worthy replacement but, like many new bikes, I don't think I've seen a single one on the road which is a shame.
Thanks buddy! Yes some nice roads and locations in the area. 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice to see you guys back, missed not having a video last week. Thats a quick machine, hopefully getting hold of more range will be easier as things are now easing here in the UK. I know from going to dealerships how bike the shortage has been. I finally have my CBT tomorrow morning, a little anxious about finally getting it done. Can't wait to hit the road. Anyways, always look forward to your videos and keep them all coming, reviews, riding vlogs.. the whole lot. - Elijah
Thanks buddy! Hopefully more bikes in the pipeline but we’ve had lots of broken promises!
I already have my order in for the Trident 660 but ... this is a pretty sick forkin' bike! Great vid as usual, thank you for sharing.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great bike, Great review 👍.. 1 million subscribers on its way..
Thanks buddy. Hope so!
Thanks to you for this, I've just ordered one ! And yep had the same fun with the Leicestershire County Council cutting the verges
I'll let you know what happens with my purchase 👍
Awesome!
Yes leicestershire think caring for the environment means chopping it down !
Ordered it last week as my first bike. Farewell all! Ps. Little jealous on the UK prices.
Awesome! Take it easy; it’s a screamer!
R.I.P.
Awesome! You guys finally got to review this bike! I’ve been waiting on this one 😁
Yes 👍🏼👍🏼 What do you think of it?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan looks awesome! Is an amazing bike. Great review!
my CB1000R 2014 is a blast i love it
I am currently riding a Ducati monster 797 but grew up on Honda CBR900RR fireblades for over 20 years. I am in the market now for this bike, so thanks for the info.
Enjoyed the review. I have just bought one (delivery next week). Chose this over other ‘nakeds’ because I don't need mega power. I want a classy, reliable, road bike and this just hits the spot. For me anyway.
Thanks buddy. Excellent 👍🏼👍🏼
A review that shows the headlight beam. That's nice.
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
"Doesn't matter what it says on the screen. It's so fast, if you look at the screen, you'll travel 100 meters and crash." Lol.
Great Video🙏🏻
This makes me all the more eager and curious to see you review a Kawasaki Vulcan S since it sits right in between this sort of naked bike and a traditional cruiser.
If the weather wasn't so crap I'd offer to ride down and let you ride and review my 2021 Vulcan S
Ahh ok! Maybe one day 👍🏼👍🏼
İts incredible bike. Thank you for review .
Thanks buddy 💯👍🏼
11:20 mr Ol man thank you so much for this part. This will save many lives
Good review and great video. English countryside is hard to beat. Thanks!
Thanks buddy! Yes it’s nothing compared to where we’ve moved to now (Wales)!
Another excellent video/review, not my cuppa-tea bike-wise, that said it does look fun to ride.
At times I felt I should be wearing my helmet watching the the onboard sections😃
Thanks buddy. Insanely fast! We must have hit at least 30mph 😇
I'm a sport bike enthusiast, and gotta say I really like the looks of this bike. It's probably the best looking factory naked I've seen yet. And of course I love the fireblade. So, the fact this naked has the 07 fireblade engine is awesome
Great review. Have the 2019 model and these bikes are excellent 👌
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review guys... Sold mine as I found it too cramped for longer journeys (I'm 6'4"") but there is no denying its a quick, great looking bike
Thanks buddy! Yes it’s mental!
Great bike , looks good and I like the way you described it’s ride and of course Honda quality 👍🏍
Thanks Donna 👍🏼💯
Great review as always! Shame about the filming issues that resulted on a blurry dashboard whenever you go fast... must be that new Sony lens you just purchased.
Thanks buddy. Yes it went blurred when we were doing 30mph 😇
Even though the ergo's might feel alright, I felt the bike was a bit small being 6'3. I felt the same watching you sit on it. Lovely review mate!
Yes it felt cramped tbh. 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm working with my local dealer to find a unit available from another dealer in Arizona, Nevada or Colorado. None available here in New Mexico. I really enjoyed your video! I've watched the factory video, which is exciting, but your video puts the bike in the hands of real riders! Don't know your name, sir, so I'll refer to you by your Ol' Man moniker: I suspect you and I are close to the same age, Ol' Man. It's fun to see another 'youngster' having fun twisting the grip!!
Thanks very much bro. That’s exactly what we aim to convey. 👌🏼👍🏼
Nice looking bike, and fun to ride. Great review!
Yes very striking. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve got one, love it
👍🏼👍🏼💯
Great review, I love the 650 version, it looks nicer but wringing its neck will be loads of fun too, thanks guys!!!
Thanks buddy. The 650 is surprisingly quick too!
great video and nice video quality 👍
Thank you 👍 Please subscribe for more! 👍🏼
Awesome guys cheers 👍🏻
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review, as always! 👍🏻 I currently ride the 650R and don’t feel the need for the upgrade, but this is definitely a great option in the 1000 class.
Yes the 650 is plenty fast enough tbh. It’s not all about speed anyway, but we have to convey that as it’s what many people wanted to know 👍🏼
Glad to find this channel! Great review, beautiful bike, and lovely location! What part of England is it?
Welcome aboard! It was around Leicestershire not far from Uppingham
Thanks for a great video. Picking up a 2019 silver/black cb1000r on Saturday. The black version is “too black” for me but love the black/silver look with the red rear shock. Moving from a Daytona 675 (which I ve loved) but at the age of 60 finding the Daytona riding position is getting a little too extreme for longer distances. See how I get on but I m sure I’ll love it. Once again thank you for a very informative video.
No problem buddy. Have fun on the new bike 👍🏼
Man, he looks so cool with his beard under the helmet👍🐉 the bike is super cool super smooth honda four unbeatable!
Great honest review from a couple of tall blokes over 6 ft. As I myself am 6.3 in height and middle aged, it sometimes is difficult to get a realistic review from a tall persons perspective. Well done, from Australia.
Thanks buddy. Glad it helped 👍🏼 Have you checked out our other reviews?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Yes I have. Though I cannot ride cruiser bikes as I have a bad back so the sportier position suits me better as so as it's not a supersport.
Another nice review !
Thanks very much 👍🏼
That was nice riding fast on the straight road with you👍
Thanks buddy. Nearly got to 60 😇
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Not bad ( for an old fart), lol.
Great review! I’m glad I found your channel. Do you need if the bike comes with TMPS sensors for the tire pressure? I’m wondering if on the dash you saw anything about the tire pressure? Thank you
Thanks buddy and welcome aboard! The bikes gone back now so we can’t check. I don’t know if it says on Hondas website
Enjoyed 👍🏻
Thanks bro👍🏼
Just watched this again. 100 per cent accurate comments regarding the countryside at the end. Great bike and exquisite jacket, Ol' Man. Which Goldtop is it, please?
Thanks buddy. The jacket is the 619 Rebel Black. Really high quality leather! goldtop.co.uk/collections/jackets/products/the-619-rebel-jacket?variant=37942603317419
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks for the link!
Hi fellas, I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this bike from a cruiser background rather than the usual scratchers found on RUclips - I am a scratcher btw! - & I’ve seen a few of your posts now but just to ride is the experience we all have in common. What keeps me coming back is the easygoing personable way you both deliver your views on a machine on the road. So to grow your channel I’d suggest contacting an established user like missenden flier for a collaboration, I think you’d get along
Thanks buddy! Interesting points 👍🏼👍🏼
Ah, this is truly a great bike, as most Hondas are. This and the Kawasaki retro Z900RS are just beautiful but in different way´s. Keep up the good work!
Right on! Thanks buddy!
I liked your review to be honest. 😁
Thanks buddy 💯
I ride this bike and love it in every aspect. Bike can go fast but decision is yours. Acceleration is incredible and helps riding safely when you know how to use it. Same for brakes. You need some experience and some order in your head to fully enjoy this (and any other) bike.
Good points indeed 👍🏼
2018-2020 plus model is the best looking one with the round retro headlight.
good format, would love to see a comparison between this and the new gsx-s 1000
It’s a struggle to get bikes at all at the moment do getting 2 is going to be impossible! Especially as Suzuki never reply to us!
Man it’s so beautiful I want it
the cb1000 is a beauty of a bike! it seems to be a good midway point between sporty performance and a little bit of retro styling, just like the cb650r, fair play to honda with these neo sports cafe style bikes !
another brilliant review chaps 👍
cheers, aaron
Thanks buddy. Yes it’s well pitched 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice review guys. Really enjoyed it
Love the father & son riding in the countryside-format!
Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Have a 2018 ,great bike but tyres make a big difference .
Mine came with Dunlops ,binned for Road 5s .
Suspension settings can be found on the CB1000 forum for your kgs.
Brakes are amazing as I just found out the other day.
Great review of the Gentlemans Hooligan Neo Streetfighter.
Interesting points thanks! We like your summary 👍🏼👍🏼
Saw one in the flesh at the dealers. A really trick bike. Great from every angle. I do love a single sided swing arm. The sound is good but no match for my tuono. The cb is a bit more practical though.
Yes absolutely 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I ended up getting one. I've no regrets, it's alot better road bike than the tuono. Thanks for the great reviews.
Excellent review, thanks guys! I am to stupid for a bike of that potential on the street. At some point 'The Red Mist' would descend and it would be prison, serious injury or worse.......
You really have to keep it in check!
Awesome review. I ordered it 2 weeks ago and can get it somewhere next week. Can’t wait!
Thanks buddy! Take it easy! It’s seriously quick 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I will do that, thanks for the tip. I’m gonna keep it on standard or rain for starters and get to know the bike before going into sport mode.
@@namanverdu It still feels quick in Rain and very quick in Standard!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I will be carefull. Thanks for the heads up
For your size.... It looks like a Honda grom.. nice review... Cheers🙏.... The black version looks hot❤️
Haha yeah. 👍🏼👍🏼
Never owned an Honda 😮but this model could be my first , great looking machine
It’s a beast!
Great review. I'm currently riding the cb650r for my bike training, and I love the looks but find the seat cramped after about an hour of riding. My instructor has mentioned this bike and can't stop thinking about it as an option.
It's not much different in that respect tbh. Maybe slightly
I usually don't like an inline 4, but this one sounds nice !
Yes it certainly does - especially with an aftermarket rear can!
Curios. Why don’t you like an inline 4 ?
