Great review, I`m seriously tempted by one of these! Always loved a sports bike - my current retro Interceptor 650 is much better for my licence but I miss having a fairing and a bit more ooomph! as you say, good value at £10.5k and have a quality to them that the 70 and 800 twins just don`t for me. Look forward to seeing more reviews.
you said it got great power delivery, but everybody else is saying it doesn't live under 12k rpm, and I wouldn't call that good power delivery :D I mean if you are on the open road then yea but if you commuting? It's like you wouldn't even go higher then 2nd or 3rd gear in the city :D Or when you want to overtake somebody on the national roads you have to drop 3-4 gears just to launch yourself that's not good either in my opinion
Power like my race bike is definitely high up in the rev range! Low down there's not a lot of torque to overtake etc so it does need to be singing quite a bit. Commuting I can't comment on 😂
yh cuz its not a bike made for commuting. its rlly just for Honda to homologate this bike for racing. Lacks low end torque but the sweet high end makes up for it imo
@@_fiftyseven_ too bad that 99% of the buyers use it on street... I'm only interested in super sport bikes because of the look and feeling, but I have no desire going tracks at all... At least Kawasaki found out this and made the ZX6R commute friendly with the good low and mid power range, or BMW making the S1000RR an actually comfortable bike with cruise control
@@johnnyhun1 Well in that case just get the ZX6R then? Like no need to even argue on that one. But for a bike made to go 100% on the track, Honda's config does make sense, like jus saying yk. Too tall of a gearing tho even on track id say.
@@_fiftyseven_ you can help with that installing a 1-2 less teeth sprocket, but you can't help the low-mid end power, even with custom ECU tuners can't do too much. And the ZX6R is way too obsolete compared to the new CBR600RR, that's my problem, and less comfortable :/

@@paultaylor4154 Ah thanks mate! Would love to do some more in the future. It’s such a good bike for the money! Blipper is 😍
Thank you ! From France
Thanks for watching!
A helmet microphone would be nice setup, theres some good tutorials on youtube for motovlogging setups
@@kristianwebster96 The go pro mic in the helmet didn’t pick anything up 🤦🏻 Have an insta 360 now so that should help with the next one
Hi, does the bike get hot due to the exhaust? Thank you!
Hi mate, no not at all
Does it have cruise control?
