Like the update. The black one looks stunning. All this connectivity and dash faff leaves me cold though, but I guess that's because I'm old. And I still wouldn't spend a shed load of money for a 150+ mph bike when most roads I use are being lowered to 50mph! It was almost impossible to keep to limits on my bandit, on something powerful and smooth you would spend your life looking at the dash or risk going double the limit everywhere!
Love the revised looks and wheels! Imagine that red fuel tank on a black edition bike though 😍. No cruise control is a bummer, but other than that it's a great revision.
I loved the tri color of the previous year, but this new all black is downright sexy. That's a bike you want to own and don't even need to ride it to have your money's worth!
Hard choice on the colors, both are stunning. I think I’d go with the Honda Red, really nice color, stands out and I bet it looks amazing with sun shining on it. The new color TFT is a nice upgrade for sure! Great video!
I'm not a huge Honda fan but they really hit the nail in the head on this update. Yamaha, take some notes please. If they made a black edition with the red tank I might be inclined to replace my '16 XSR 900...
Good attention to detail on the Black model. Specs of machine aluminum done well. Breaks it up a little bit, but the majority of it being black... looks great.
Very nice 👍. When I saw the teaser I thought that they'd made a big mistake with the headlight, it actually looks pretty good. As someone mentioned that red tank on the black edition would be awesome.
Really great looking bike, especially the red for me. I love the quality and design of the components themselves and I’ve always been a fan of chrome down pipes, one of the things that mesmerise me as on the CBX 6 cylinder. Thanks for sharing these details. Regards, Bob M. South Wales
I've got a cb1300s...had for 11 years. Lovely bike but downpipes are stainless steel. If I go out on a wet day takes me hours to clean them.....must have lost years of my life polishing those rascals. I thought chrome would be a lot better? I noted the cb1100 changed to chrome after first year.
@@BikesDrones mine is red and white one. A lovely comfy bike with loads of torque. Bought from guy in Falkirk at 9 months old with 600 on clock. Not even had first service. Done 20000 now but still looks like new.
There was one thing... One little design aspect on the older version that made me love this motorbike... There was a silver stripe between the fuel tank and the seat area... And I don't understand why they took that out...
The all black version looks very nice. However, I'm looking forward to the new Tuono 660 as I don't need 140hp but like the power delivery of a twin...
Dark mode in any electronic screen looks nicer and is easier on the eyes I was a fan of this bike before I think this is a marked improvement on an already superlative motorcycle.
@@howardgraff4084 a few very small carefully placed white leds as to not look ghetto and I think you'll be ok. That black just looks right on this bike. The red is sharp as well. Good riding gear with some reflective accents will help as well.
initialy i purchased the 650r and i end up returning it to the deler and geting myself the 1000r 2022 , I was planing for black edition but they had a red one available and once they took it out and put it near a test ride black edition in the sun the red one had my heart :) Maybee because the black edition was a test ride and used not so sparkling anymore and mine brand new but both compared i do not know red was for me and i love it
Now honda have really made this bike even more of better buy the biggest gripe for me was that lcd display but the tft is just a bliss that headline really uplifts its looks even more overall a great upgrade
I agree with Niranjan : headlight is definitely picked up at MV Agusta's. To be honest , I preferred the round version . Black edition is my favourite !!! Like it so much that I'm thinking of switching my Africa Twin for it ...
My brother is a big fan of Honda cars and motorcycles..From MBX125,Raider135,NSR250SP,CBR400RR,Super4 400,Hornet600,CBR929RR,CBR1100XX,CBR1000RR,CB650F and now eyeing the new X-ADV750..Cars that he used before is Civics,CRX,Citys,Type-R,Accord Euro R,Odyssey and now CRV Turbo AWD.
The Trident is meant to compete with bikes like the cb 650 r. At the cb 1000 r you'd be looking at the street and speed triple. Twins and triples traditionally deliver more low and mid range torque.
with the capabilities here and the price, the fact that it doesn't come standard is holding me back and making me compare it to the MT09 SP. What simply blows my mind is that looking at the previous model and from what I can see for this one, there is no OEM cruise control module from Honda...WHY?!
Look at the thumbnail of Motobob's 2020 Rocket 3, review, that bike does look 'badass' , note , they also did something with the rims, that helps them stand out , as they should , imv. The only thing I would do to improve it's look, it design it with exhaust on both sides of the bike, you'll all notice that bikes with right side only exhaust are invariably presented with the primary picture being of the right side, not the left.
That is a tough decision. I like them both. The black one looks like straight out of the Batman cave. While the red one looks like "don't fool around with me" . . .
Wow..! Cannot wait for the release of this bike.. For sure the Black Edition for me!! A much better looking bike now.. Just hope more of an adjustable seat..
Adjustable seat height would be good to drop it down from 830 to 800 for shorter riders. Would think about swapping my 1200 Monster for one if this was an option.
Like GW owners were disappointed with the omission of Android connectivity up until recently, I’m gutted that I won’t be able to pair my iPhone to the new CB1000R 🤦🏻😢
Fabulous looking 'black edition' bike spoiled by the enormous can. Aftermarket version to complete the awesome looks of this bike ? Er, yes, I definitely would.
So I find myself thinking, what I don't really want is a black edition, what I really want is a CBR1000. Not a FireBlade, but a CBR1000, like a CBR650. And for someone at Honda to realise they probably need a real UI designer to code their dash displays. Their first job can be hanging the current programmers upsidedown by their toenails for a few days in front of a sign in Japanese that reads, "Thou shalt not attempt to mimic textures or shading in LCD displays for instrument panels". The sign, would, of course, be upsidedown too, just to make a point if you're going to do something, do it properly.
Black Edition. 1. Remove that ugly rear wheel hugging number plate holder and replace with high quality brand aftermarket black bracket with small black backed show plate tucked under the seat, 2.Black round shape quality brand aftermarket bar end mirrors. 3. Find some high quality aftermarket anodized accessories such as engine casing protectors and sliders etc and fit those. 4. Find out if akrapovic make a performance silencer and fit that. It would be cool if they worked with Honda to make a blacked out silencer to match the colour scheme.
I prefer the 2019 design. I dont like the new headlights or the dash. The previous model looks more retro n cool! They could have atleast put cruise control on this model which is more beneficial for the rider than having bluetooth controls
Probably the best looking street bike series there is definitely up there with the european bikes in terms of looks. Waiting for cb300r hope they bring out a black version too
IILike the look of the new model. Regarding the swing arm mounted number plate holders. I think they look pretty cool because, as you say, it tidies up the rear end nicely, although I've heard several reports of it making it very difficult to adjust the chain - something most of us do regularly. i don't know if that's the case with this bike but, before I bought one I would, definitely, have to check that out.
The black edition looks great. Can't say I'm a fan of the LCD screen, but you're right, the night mode does look a bit better.
It has a new TFT display now though so all good on that front

Cheers Pete! Yeah the dash looks way better to me, and I'd agree that it looks classy in red.
I'm not a huge Honda fan but they really hit the nail in the head on this update. Yamaha, take some notes please. If they made a black edition with the red tank I might be inclined to replace my '16 XSR 900...
I agree! Would buy it pretty quickly if it had all the black details, but with the red tank and maybe the tail.
Good attention to detail on the Black model. Specs of machine aluminum done well. Breaks it up a little bit, but the majority of it being black... looks great.
Very nice 👍. When I saw the teaser I thought that they'd made a big mistake with the headlight, it actually looks pretty good. As someone mentioned that red tank on the black edition would be awesome.
Oooo now that's a good shout
One of the few bikes that almost needs no customization. Wow! Beautiful!
It's a goodd thing, and a bad at the same time. I think it's fun to make my bike looks more how I want it, and not the same as every one else.
I've got a 2019 cb1000r, I'll be trading in for the black edition, looks amazing
How much sir

The black edition looks stunning. I hope they will refresh CB650R with same design. Its definitely the best upgrade for 2021 bikes.
A Honda reliability in Italian suit. I am game 🙋🏻♂️
The all black version looks very nice. However, I'm looking forward to the new Tuono 660 as I don't need 140hp but like the power delivery of a twin...
Yeah, CB1000R has 143 BHP, but because it's a 4 cylinder you have to wind it up quite a bit.
Digging that black edition a lot, but would have preferred Honda kept the round headlight. This new swept design looks a bit... off... 🙄
same :D
Yeah 🤔. Agreed
They called the headlight iconic then replaces is :/ round gives it the neo retro look
like both red and black. would pick red so i can be seen easier.
pra mim, é uma das naqued bikes 1000cc mais bonitas que se pode ter , é quase uma obra de arte sobre rodas !!!
I would say headlight and over all design kinda looks 20% like a MV augusta brutale 800 in a more calm and angular way.
Yess, ovale tire, inline 4cylinder engine, single sided arm...., 20% mv agusta. 😅
@Jay M What a savage reply bro.
I see haters of Japanese bikes only on youtube and not on the road. The roads are full of them.
Massimo Tamburini copied honda stylings
Exactly
@@rodrozil6544 i think you are a honda fanboy.🤣
Normally not one for the blacked out or mat grey looks, but the CB with the machined highlights does look pretty good! I’m very tempted
God damn it Honda. I'm trying to shorten my next bike list!! Nice video Rob.
Dark mode in any electronic screen looks nicer and is easier on the eyes
I was a fan of this bike before
I think this is a marked improvement on an already superlative motorcycle.
SIMPLY AMAZING ❤️ I'LL GO FOR THE BLACK EDITION 🤠
Don't go riding at night then mate...Black is a crazy colour in terms of rider safety even if it looks really cool!

oooh that Dark edt is looking like a top contender for my upgrade along with the new MT-09 or and FTR 1200
What a Beautiful NeoRetro Streetfighter..
Engine is powerful too. My favorite 1000ccish naked.
I'm hoping they come out with optional gold or silver wheels.
In my opinion, this bike is more beautiful than the Trident
The Trident is meant to compete with bikes like the cb 650 r. At the cb 1000 r you'd be looking at the street and speed triple. Twins and triples traditionally deliver more low and mid range torque.
cb1000r>trident>cb650r in my opinion~
Agree.
I don't dislike the new one, it has a more fluid look but I definitely prefer the chunkiness of the previous model.
That spoke wheel has to be the best looking wheel on any production motorcycle (not including MV limited editions and Ducati Superleggeras)
z900rs has had cut wheels that look like spokes, im guessing they copied them
_I'd take the red version every day of the week!_ 🤩
Ride Red!
Never thought I’d say this but that new Honda CBR looks sexier than the new Ducati Monster
Red one for me, really nice. New updates in styling are good. Could care less about hooking up a phone.
This looks like a monster. Not the Ducatti Monster.....just a monster! These sound amazing with an aftermarket can.
Honda got it looking perfect in the Black Edition
I have a 2018 version and I'm in love with it.
I definitely prefer the Black Edition. Looks really Sharp.
Black is always menacing. Lets see are variety of other color options.
Love the black edition, a dream.
😊
Black Black Black Black. looks amaaaazing! hate the dash though.
An option for cruise control, would have made it perfect
Can't believe this bike has "voice controlled email support" but not cruise control...
with the capabilities here and the price, the fact that it doesn't come standard is holding me back and making me compare it to the MT09 SP. What simply blows my mind is that looking at the previous model and from what I can see for this one, there is no OEM cruise control module from Honda...WHY?!
Look at the thumbnail of Motobob's 2020 Rocket 3, review, that bike does look
'badass' , note , they also did something with the rims, that helps them
stand out , as they should , imv.

I prefer the round headlight, mv Augusta already using teardrop headlight..
Love the new wheels. Not sure about the headlight. Don't like the shape of the TFT, although it's just an initial feeling, maybe. Great bike.
Not everyone seems to like the TFT but it's a massive improvement on the old dash. Felt dated now
The black looks absurdly good
Hands down that blacky is stunning. Top contender for a 3rd opening in my garage. 👍🏼 😎 🌎
I've got a 2012 Yamaha FZ8 with 29k miles and thinking of upgrading to this bike. Thanks for the info!
Red is good, silver is also good, but the black edition is irresistibly best
I like the red, mind you most bikes I've had are red, I just like how the colour stands out.
The red looks gorgeous
Black edition definitely...
The black edition FTW.
Love the black CB 1000R
I’d like to see the polished exhaust on the black edition I bet that looks better
That is a tough decision. I like them both. The black one looks like straight out of the Batman cave. While the red one looks like "don't fool around with me" . . .
Wow..! Cannot wait for the release of this bike.. For sure the Black Edition for me!! A much better looking bike now.. Just hope more of an adjustable seat..
Adjustable seat height would be good to drop it down from 830 to 800 for shorter riders. Would think about swapping my 1200 Monster for one if this was an option.
Red, Silver and Black. So nice. Well done video and thanks for the production.
We need a comparison between the honda cb1000r and bmw r ninet.
Really like this bike but wishing it would have come with cruise control (most bikes in this class now have them).
Or you can shove half cut rubber washer between the grip and mount like we have been doing since forever
Full black 🤩🤩
The black is a beast!
Dem Black Edition looks sick. 👌
Like GW owners were disappointed with the omission of Android connectivity up until recently, I’m gutted that I won’t be able to pair my iPhone to the new CB1000R 🤦🏻😢
Ima get this one to replace my mt09 since yamaha totally botched the 2021
the dash on the new hayabusa is what every company should be trying for, its perfect
Fabulous looking 'black edition' bike spoiled by the enormous can. Aftermarket version to complete the awesome looks of this bike ? Er, yes, I definitely would.
Fav black bro thx for the update
Yamaha take notes. This is how you improve your bikes
What do you mean, you don't like Yamaha's "ancient heritage" pumpkin shaped blinkers?
More like the new mt 09 headlight
@@aapddd New MT09 headlight is good.
@@drewmorg. lol
for the new mt09, besides the headlight, everything else on that bike is a pretty good improvement
Black edition, beautiful
Red / silver & black , i like a bit of contrast , beautiful motorcycle 😊👍
They need to pass down the old display from the 2018 cb1000 to the current cb650r. It’s will work better than the iPod they have strapped to it now

They do make an Akra pipe for it and it looks wayyyyy better than the huge stock one. But yeah... not sure they do a black one yet.
No MOTOBOB video goes without saying "thick and fast" Lol
Haha! 🤷♂️
