@@Hypersonik when you compare three bikes - on a track - and talk about their attributes - on the track- then I track time differences are the most relevant.
@@thewrongbike7709 Is it? To me I wanna know which one feels exciting, works with you, is easy on tyres, doesn't want to kill you etc etc. All of which waaaaaaay more important than how fast it goes.

@@Hypersonik OK then, but you're only going to buy the road bike. The race bikes are irrelevant to that. If you want to know what the road bike is like, either do a standalone review or a comparison with a Ducati, Yamaha, Kawasaki. THIS video was about a track comparison with race bikes. "easy on tyres" isn't so much of a factor. On the track, time is everything.
I would love to have all 3 of them, one of each. 2 trackbikes, one to beat, one to race. Then the streetbike just to baby and save for special occasions.
@@visordown Good question. The engine is widely said to be of the most powerful in the grid, and I tend to trust Bautista's and Haslam's skills to be closer to the leading group if they could. Just based on reports of course, the worst issue seems to be both chassis and electronics set-up.
Best Honda chassis includes RC30, RC51, and RC213V-SP, so only RSV4 might be better, according to WSBK or MGP results. I guess Max had quite a lot to do with that....
Nope, less than the cost of a front road tyre, so not expensive. Room under the seat for that small box. Of course if you only ride on circuit, no need to recalibrate the speedo. Just for road use.
@@lonpfrbIt's for track use, so Speedo is not my concern. You can't change gearing more than 1 tooth. If you do so, the electronics is failing you (TC, QS). The only Honda solution to that is the HCR Kit Electronik, which is about 8.000 € plus installation. It is such a great bike, but this is a nogo to me.
@@flipper323 interesting, So Honda has priced out a super-stock or track bike with the odd gearing and inflexible electronics. Presumably Honda Racing (Louth, UK) are happy to fit the kit electronics to the super-stock and the superbike getting the freedom to choose the best gearing. However that doesn't explain who the standard gearing is for. I suppose it's driven by the most restricted race regulations as it's supposed to be the base for production racing. Looks like race teams, road riders, or track riders in that order of priority. Not many track riders looking to spend €30,000 on a bike, as you suggest!
@@lonpfrb The main reason is Euro5. You habe to fullfill noise regulations. That`s why the gearing is odd. For track use: it is a very capable bike. But if you don't change the gearing, you drive with max. 4 gears. So i don't expect to see a lot on trackdays , because it's just to expensive to get the bike right.
@@flipper323 Honda was barely able to get the previous generation Fireblade on circuit with the stock pipe as 98dB isn't a reasonable limit. Sounds like this one had to try harder and the exhaust valve with electronic help still wasn't enough. So few sport bikes that Euro 5 is never likely to make a significant impact on pollution. It's just regulation because they can. Plus a pointless cost and weight that reduces efficient manufacturing and use. I suppose we have to give Honda respect for bothering at all given the few sales. Clearly their competitors have done better, at least for our use.
Worldsbk is telling that story...its really not that great. Satellite team had to take a break because it was so far off the pace... Factory team struggling to stay upright let alone at the front the field... same for motogp .hopefully it gets better but uh 😬
@@stevemurtz3546 indeed! I hope it improves ..I dont what it is but these electronics are throwing a major monkey wrench in these newer bikes performance. I dont know how Kawasaki and Yamaha are doing it. But they stay consistent and competitive! Highly impressive for bikes that are claimed to be outdated!
@@Sn0wyriot thats what I'm looking at next..Been kawi all my riding life. Looking at a Rsv41100rf in the near future. Thing is just cool as hell and different
Why buy a motorcycle for the purpose of projecting an image you want people to see, and therefore come to conclude ? That bike far exceeds your talent and will be wasted in the mire of self obsession. What a shame.

Brilliant watch lads, thanks for sharing. 😃 what a day for Gary 😅
He’s a top guy, and bloody quick! We don’t thing that’ll be the last we see if Gaz on this channel. Stay tuned!
After the ECU has been flashed, Bike is just EPIC in every way.!! First CBR to make me nervous with its wicked power!!!
Great interview Toad. What better rider than Gary Johnson(LEGEND) to give a honest review of the new Blade! Cheers from the US.
Cheers mate, I’m sure he’ll be back!
Get Gary in the team full time - his feedback was spot on
This has to be the best job in the world... ride cool bikes for free... look cool and get paid 💰... dream job!
Thank you both, enjoyed that 😁👍
Love videos like this, wish u did more like this then just bike reviews of new bikes
Can we please see the track times for each bike? Great vid thanks
That's the only real test.

Great job guys and Gary is the man he always tells the truth, if you don’t like it Sorry he won’t change his mind
such videos are worth their weight in gold..
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼👍🏼

Wouldn’t we all!
The hired guns feedback is brilliant. I want to subscribe to him
Check out Gary Johnson Racing on Instagram - and stay tuned, we think he might be joining us for some road tests in the future.
What a beautiful looking machine !!!
Amazing stuff and content. A real solid vlog.
I’m just glad it didn’t rain.
Wonderful insight. Very well put together
Great review, Gaz Johnson quality guy...
Mr gary johnson and blade;legend and legend👏👏👏👏
So very true!
Gary Johnson is a legend.
Wooow.. watching from philippines
Thats the place i wanna be now! Grtz from Belgium
Glad you liked it!
Great video, thanks guys.
Glad you liked it!
I love the look of the SBK bikes.
The black one looks so sick
Stealth 🥷
The beast top speed on straight, but struggling for braking, cornering control and acceleration so far
Great review , you can tell a pro motorcyclist.
Beautiful superbike cbr1000rr-r.. good to Honda power full...
Awesome review from a bpropper racr
Great video
I love the look of the black one soo much, but it is soo unpractical, also expensive. We all want and lust sportbikes, but we all don't need em.
Thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you. If you're going to check a bike out, get Gary on it! 👊
Road version fireblade is heavily restricted to 186 mph. Can you guys please tell what is the maximum speed of BSB spec fireblade?
Not as high as you’d think. As Gary says, it’s gears are massively shortened for most UK tracks.
@@visordown ohh! Ok, Thanks for replying 😊👍
Beautiful bike
This bike is so cool
The best 1000cc chassis, or the best Honda 1000cc chassis? It behaves in quite a mediocre way in WSBK.
Is that engine, chassis, or riders though?

great vid..
CBR1LRR-R SP? What a name?
Why would Honda make the road bike more extreme riding position than the super stock bike, makes no sense to me 🤷♂️
Ameirca nek ora gelem nyelesaikke koe telfono indo... Hpku gantino... Mengko stelahkui tak jarke pihak mikir berbuat opo rak bakal ta ganggu.
Honda likes to make bikes for alien-sized riders...aka 2007 Repsol for Dani Pedrosa.
Many people are confused why they chose this seating position
Its a pirate's favorite bike, ARR, ARR,-ARR
Badoomtish! :)
ive seen cbr1000rrr went 341kph GPS
Does anybody else miss the gold wheels?
Yes! Needs to be said, an SP without gold wheels is like decaf coffee - what’s the point!
Nek Charles ora isin urusan duit wes ben aib e Inggris di gowo Charles karo pihake pemerintah e.
Gary is some laugh and a great pilot
He really is. Stay tuned for more, I don’t think it’s the last we’ll see of him!
It's a shame that you can't change gearing without kit-electronic, which is absurde expensive.

Where's the on board vid? Poor show.
The day was organised by Honda and using there onboard cameras - we could only use what they supplied
