@@visordown I’m at loggerheads any news when you’ll get your hands on the new Ducati Monster. I think it’s between these two bikes I’ve got my heart set on.
Wow, you even have a Visor Down Kit, talk about solid marketing! Love the Black Edition, hope it comes out soon State Side, no one seems to have it yet.
I prefer retro bikes but I like modern things like LED lights or quickshifter. Honda did great with the mixture of both in cb1000r. Waiting for mine black edition in May. But still can't understand why there is no heated grips in black edition
2018 model owner here... a question regarding the updated headlamp - is it still as bad as the previous round one? Inside sections look pretty much identical to me...
I'm a Honda fan boy but still see nothing to persuade me away from my gsxs. It looks the mutts all blacked up though.. The studs are chewed up on the bar clamps, who murdered them?
gsxs have the same problem as the previous cb1000r; they look like wasps/hornets. The detached headlight assembly just doesn't look right in my eye. This new cb1000, especially all black is in a class all its own.
I have the plus version ( 2019) and the biggest issues for me are vibes at 70mph and rear shock. Both of which you can do something about aftermarket but I'd argue you shouldn't need to at this price point. If I were Honda, get these right then tinker with the wheels and "black" edition. Be interested to know if these are sorted.
I like the blacked-out look but I wish the tank was a bright contrast colour, say bright yellow. It would be the inline four I'd buy. This or the GSX-S.
I test rode the old CB1000R model back in like 2009. Absolutely loved it. Always wanted one but had just purchased a street triple in 2008. They stopped bringing them to my country in 2011 so missed out. Was waiting and hoping one day they'd bring out a new model and they did. I thought that was awesome but now after the revision and black edition it's even better again. One problem, I think the Suzuki GSXS may be a better bike despite it looking like it was designed to compete with the 2009 Honda CB100R. Either way I think I'd be fairly happy with either decision. Imagine cleaning the new honda wheel though. You'd be there for 3 hours. The new MT09 and new Speed Triple have me interested as well.
Honda have done a lovely job cosmetically on the CB1000R but it was the engine that needed a massive update as it's bland when compared to the KTM, Ducati, Aprilia, Kawasaki and new Triumph supernakeds.
Too much black in my opinion. Everything blends together. This bike has very nice shapes that you can't see now. I like the silver and black version from last year better. However, there is one thing here that should be black, but it isn't. A display that looks just awful. Firstly, it is illuminated in white, which does not suit the motorcycle at all. And second, it looks like it was created in 2 minutes in a free GUI design tool.
I do think those might be the most stunning OEM wheels available on any bike right now.
As with most Honda motorcycles, it is understated. Love it.
That sound. Better than expected, no doubt.
Wow a new bike that doesn’t sound like shit after euro 5 get their hands on it. It’s a gorgeous bike.
it is rather nice, Honda has some great sounding bikes right now!
@@visordown I’m at loggerheads any news when you’ll get your hands on the new Ducati Monster. I think it’s between these two bikes I’ve got my heart set on.
Lovely sounding bike and they even made that enormous end can look ok.
@@tahirsharif9461 It would still have to go the note isn’t deep enough for me. I like them sounding like a lions roar.
So excited for this bike. Already have one on order.
I'm so excited for this bike to come out. I really love the new CB1000R platform and hope it continues to grow in popularity.
Fiiiiiinally!!! I’ve been waiting forever for someone to review this bike
Got mine today, awesome machine!
I have the 2019 Model. The stock suspension is very soft as stock. Once properly adjusted to stiffer settings, the bike is way better.
My KTM SDR was the same.
What number did you adjust the stock to?
I am not too into the retro bikes, but that thing is so beautiful.
Wait so it comes with Michelin Power 5 Tyres now?
The all black treatment on the exhaust certainly helps to hide the EURO-5 required “four slice toaster” hanging under the bike 😉.
Very very nice indeed👌
Wow gorgeous bike!
Looking forward to the review. 👍
I love the sound when you rev it up.
Thank you for your initial thoughts! I look forward to a more in-depth review as this bike is on my radar! 👍😎🇦🇺
I read that this model might not be released in Australia. If this is true, it's very sad news
@@user-yo1bj2lv8x Thanks for the heads up. I’ll give my local dealer a call.
Can't wait for the full review im looking at getting one and want to know everything 🤘
This bike is a winner in the black edition or standard either one!!
I REALLY like this bike, I saw a picture of a retro colorway that popped. That Black Ed. is pretty cool though and how bout those wheels?!?
Excellent first impression review, but I’m really glad - really - that I didn’t have to take a shot of booze every time the word “really” was used.
beautiful machine... 😘
I own this bike 2019 and to be honest I'm absolutrly in love with it. But the mt-09 kinda does it for me in 2021 🤷♂️ never thought I would say that
Ahhh idk do i want another 1000cc or a 3 cylinder monster??
The fit and finish on the MT-09 is vastly inferior to the Honda. It's way down on power too.
Is it still a vibrating engine at times ? And is the throttle response better ?
thumb up, also would like to know if engine vibrates at mid range like previous years or so I've heard.
Wow, you even have a Visor Down Kit, talk about solid marketing! Love the Black Edition, hope it comes out soon State Side, no one seems to have it yet.
I read somewhere that the US release is in May, waiting anxiously for it as well!
Good review thanks. Where I live the 2021 bike will not be available till after Christmas. Can get the older black standard today. Worth waiting?
Seat height???
That’s a nice looking bike. Hopefully the fueling is good.
Do you think the black edition will be around for a few years? (2022 and maybe further) I love this bike but I just bought a 2020 650R.
Very impressive bike with a nice rorty exhaust. Get on with your neighbours? Lazy Sunday afternoon..
My 14 cb1100s might be a little jealous of it's little brother... 🤠

Night ride? Headlight throw.
Are you doing a further update video of this bike as mentioned?
I'm a Honda fan boy but still see nothing to persuade me away from my gsxs. It looks the mutts all blacked up though.. The studs are chewed up on the bar clamps, who murdered them?
I think it is gunk from when it was cleaned pre-delivery. they are defo not chewed up
gsxs have the same problem as the previous cb1000r; they look like wasps/hornets. The detached headlight assembly just doesn't look right in my eye. This new cb1000, especially all black is in a class all its own.
Looks nice. Any weight change this year?
No.
How do you lock it up with a nice chunky chain?
Paint already coming off the handlebar clamp bolts though...

Couldn't agree with you more. The rear shock should have been sorted. No excuses Honda.
Euro 5 so anti tamper software?
In the final review video can you show us how good/bad the headlight performance is?
We can try!
I love it
Honda! Give me one.
I'll do 6 months of engine testing for ya.
Free of charge.
still can't tell if it has QS or cruise. Kept waiting for it. Maybe i missed it. These are basic things guys, be sure to spell it out.
Quick shifter yes. Cruise control no. 😐 Heated grips no. 😐
@@traviscarter9300 thanks, sorry that came out snappy, but these days those are must-know things! thnx!

Black edition... with bright yellow tank! Lol thankfully you're not doing design at honda.
@@prndownload Haha! It's called being creative. All black bukes look shite.

@@prndownload Decisions to make, prn. Watch out for bright yellow tanks.
A bit to much black for me I preferred the previous plus model 😟
There will probably be on in the future.
Same here. The standard black model looks nicer with more silver/ aluminium on display. Love the red version too.
It needs a decent tail tidy and that crap for a licences plate holder taken off the end.
i want one ;-)
Get one 👍 your only here once 👍
@@no.1bike give me the money to get one, please ;-) you only can give it once
Is this bike good for a new riders first bike?
I like your outfit...red lines on it...theres and option for red stripes around the wheels...for 79$ added
When you go on the net to buy you can add options and see how much is it $$
I wouldn’t be using a cable lock on that it’ll be gone in seconds the spokes don’t look that narrow surely you can get a 16mm chain through there.
It is a real fiddle, and the risk then is not using enough security because of the hassle!
I would prefer a total Matt black
Looks so much nicer than any Yamaha naked. Please Yamaha take note of how to style a bike.
Boz,
Sorry dude honda copied yami mt-09 to make this bike.
@@shreksexy6879 Absolutely not.
On your dash the Trip A distance driven is almost the hp of the bike.
Wow Michelin's
Honda have done a lovely job cosmetically on the CB1000R but it was the engine that needed a massive update as it's bland when compared to the KTM, Ducati, Aprilia, Kawasaki and new Triumph supernakeds.
Well there you go: it's not a supernaked. You're comparing different categories.
The CB1000R is not a super naked. This is far cheaper than those machines.
I see alot of chicken strip on that rear tire 😄
Is it me or does the side profile look really messy and kind unfinished. Cables here and there, weird angles here and there... Odd.
Its you!
i wish someday somebody will give me this dream bike of mine
Beauuuuutiful bike but, i wish it had few more ponies underneath, by the way, what earth are Boinky and Pogoey means....😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Imagine a spring
Ay, the title says first ride 🤷♂️
I keep hoping this TFT fad will cease!!! No one I know prefers them over clocks apart from 20 year olds.
Could they have designed the exhaust just a bit better it’s so ugly
Hello Honda ya listening? We need the new one in the states ya wankers. Thanks that is all.
Looks like mv Agusta tbh
You had to find the filthiest place
Headlights and side rad panels ruined the new looks
Paintwork is very bad on the tank. Scratches easily
Need to change the title. 😒

I really want to like it but it just looks a bit boring.
I wish Honda would utilize belt drive instead of chain.
BBM....black bikes matter. 🤣
Lock it up when you're out and about? What third world country do you live in?
oh geez looks like a sewing machine 🤡
Go get your eyes checked.
Looks uglier than last year's.
