- I've ridden almost all the Honda Fireblades over the years so I was very keen to try the latest version with the updates for 2024. More comfortable riding position, lower gearing, lower pegs! Could this be the perfect road sports bike now?

Couple quick notes, it is the EC3 Ohlins. The rider modes and suspension settings can be selected independently from one another. My 2023 model does not have the preload guide and when setting the suspension modes only TRACK offers the ACCEL and CORNER support, that being said you can make all 3 TRACK with different settings if you like.
I'm really looking forward to trying the 2024 or 2025 Fireblade. I currently have the 2023 version and I've done the full exhaust, tuning, geared down from 16/43 to 15/44 and put some lower pegs on it. Rider triangle is still really aggressive but my God it's an incredible machine, even compared to my Ducati Streetfighter V4SP2....the Fireblade feels like it just wants to murder you all the time, it has zero chill.
As always great video Chop....Let's get that weight down a little brother, I wanna see you riding in another 20 years still!!

Chopsy… get hold of a 954. I had one and wish I’d never sold it. Best bike I’ve owned. Happy in town, B Roads, motorway, quick blat and also touring. Superb machine.
Fully agree, cracking bike. I had one for a couple of years, sold it, then bought one again a few years later.
A phenomenal machine and truly one of the best sports bike chassis on any production bike of all time. This model has the benefit where you can ride it slower with a supple mid range which makes it rather road friendly if you are not too big in stature and can become comfortable with the ergonomics. But if you want to go truly fast and have the confidence to redline any gear then hold onto your socks! Not many motorcycles can accelerate as quickly as this bike! Truly amazing.
That is a stunning looking machine!
In the UK; you would probably have more fun with that better looking Honda CBR600R at half the price that he tested a couple of weeks back.
Absolutely 100%
Agreed the roads don't even deserve the power. All the crap surfaces and pot holes
It's vexing on my s1000r to the point that I'd downsize on my next bike
@@512460 i have a s1000r - new to me after many big twins. As much as i am in impressed with the s1000r , it is just way more serious anywhere above 8000rpm that makes it less fun and more about concentrating on what bit of un-swept stone chip road re-surface / gravel or pot hole is going to jump out at you. By contrast i was on a riding training course recently and took my Husky TE630 - on the tight back lanes - i had a total blast and left the group way behind on bigger bikes ( without riding recklessly) . having fun and being safe are my aims. New Zealand.
Off-road oriented bikes are the ideal option for most British roads and weatther conditions.
@@keyboarddancers7751 It's why I sold my blade and bought a scrambler. For day to day commuting and weekend blasts with my mates it was the right decision for me. My mates are on litre bikes, I've no issues keeping up with them, and I don't panic when there's loads of gravel dumped in the road.
Man the bikes between 2012-2024 have had such high pegs. I remember the bikes in the early 2000s, they were actually comfortable and rideable for a certain amount of time, I’m young and in shape and these new bikes have ridiculous high pegs. I hope we can find a happy medium lol.
Great review Chopsy awesome bike. As a Blade rider of many years I think they really have this bad boy sorted!
And good to see Tommy Bridewell and the Honda Uk team pushing it back towards the front of the BSB grid where it belongs 👍🏻👌🏻
Great review Chopsy. I agree, aluminium swing arms do look much better, they seem to add an air of lightness to the appearance. Interesting to see there's one or two people commenting who, like myself, own 954s! Thanks for posting.
Ironic that you parked by a caravan, that's where I'd be living if I'd bought one. Worth it though 😂
Not really..get it on finance? No body buys bikes straight out these days, you'd be stupid toi
@@thirstybonsai1888 Maybe he's already financed to the hilt, maybe his mortgage is killing him? Finance is not always the answer.
It's a looker, but she's serious ! I do like that preload/suspension guide on the dash 👍🏻
How can the year 2024 be almost gone and you are the ONLY ONE who has made a review of this model? I can't find ANYTHING on YT about this bike, no dynos, no track tests, no reviews, no comparisons, nothing at all. What happened? Did everyone decide to just abandon Honda and not talk about it?
What a machine.
Nice one Chopsy , lovely looking bike the fireblade , don't see many litre sport bikes out on the roads anymore !!! Seem to be a dying breed 🙁 a bit too much nowadays power wise on the roads , But still good to see them still going strong . 👍👍
Good for just about anything, except enduro riding or passing speed cameras...
A former colleague had (might still have) an older version of the Fireblade, and I tried to keep up with him, and oh boy did I fail. It is like greased lightning!
Great review Chops, looking forward to you reviewing the 2024 S1000rr. I have had the 2017 CBR10000rr and that was a great bike but like you have pointed out the was a huge amount of weight on the wrists, being 52 and the better riding position the S1000rr made more sense and with 210bhp now it’s got all the power I will ever need for the road.
Keep up the good work Chops and hopefully will bump into you soon👍🏻
What a great idea - take it to the isle of mann with the R1 chopsy! Do it!
If I lived as close to it as you do I'd be there in a flash!
Good luck getting insurance for that!
Riding with hedges on the side of the rode making every corner a blind one is crazy lol nice skills.
I..... I think the fireblade has had a duly needed sharpen. That thing sounds hungry for a fight and I love it!
Absolutely beautiful looking bike , Not for me , frighten the you no what out of me , with that amount of power and the riding position
I have the 2018 blade,little bit less top end power than the 2024 but still an absolute antichrist if you open her up😅I think that generation was a lot more forgiving ergonomics wise than the 2020 up fireblades,you could go for a 1.5h spin without much wrist pain….an akrapovic end can gives these bikes a much nicer sound than the one in the video especially with the quick shifter and auto blipper.
I agree on the full belly pan and how the front fairing curve around the radiators. Also totally agree the previous one was nicer. Loved the front end on it, I think that was one of the nicest bikes I've ever seen. I'd probably see if I can change that part of the fairing if I was lucky enough to own it. I'd buy it for the looks if I had the cash. But for on the road it will probably cost me my licence in one day..Take care
Are the mirrors usable ? looks like they're flapping around like a wounded pigeon.
A few weeks ago I saw 188 hp at the rear tyre on the '24 Blade, after a short ECU reflash session, and stock everything including Akropovich exhaust. It was 182 on the Dynojet 250 before the reflash. I then saw it run a 9.14 @156 mph. With a bit more tweaking, it's heading into the 8's, as a stock bike!
Lol what? I saw over 200ps on the tyre on SC82s on the dyno
It's a lovely looking bike. But i struggle to open up my K1300s, which can get frustrating, and that is all day comfy 2 up, especially with my modded seat.
So this would be severely annoying to own.
I keep considering just getting a gsxr750 except for the amount of 2 up riding I do 🙄😕 I guess I need to convince the wife that 2 bikes is a sensible option.
Obviously a beautiful bike , and great video - but I do wonder how many people actually buy these things ? Maybe I'm biased against as I live in London and insurance etc prohibits these kind of machines , but the lack of practicality plus the cost does make me wonder who they are actually for? When you're young enough to be comfortable on one you can't afford it, and if you're lucky enough to be able to buy one when you're a bit older they're super uncomfortable, and unless you're on the track you'll never really get to third gear. Plus if I spent over twenty grand on a bike I'd be too worried about binning it on the track as well, bit like the top of the line GS off road syndrome .
Still - great channel thanks ;)
I have the RR-5 in my stable, the first gen of the 1000’s, it’s just and I mean just about usable on the road without going into ludicrous mode like anything more modern. I’m a lifelong ‘blade fan as well, and I ‘get’ that HRC have gone balls deep on the RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-RRRRSPSPSPSSPSPPRRRRR but I think it’s gone to far now for the road and the 600 is a more enjoyable road bike. Great work as always chops, looking forward to the head to head. 👍👍
Great vid as always!
Very partial to Japanese bikes myself, but I keep hearing complaints of how intrusive ABS is in comparison to European ones and how the brakes just aren't as good. Would love to hear your thoughts on that!
The best looking modern sports bike so far, just luuuuurve that paint job, looks bloody fantastic, Great review as always thanks Chops.👍👍👍👍👍 1:57
awesome machine, can't imagine what it's like to ride that with all that power
I thought this bike was a big improvement over the previous version. Then sadly I rode my friends v4r with a full system on it a week later and my memories weren’t quite so exciting. It was like over 40 grand mind you. 😮 Great bikes though !
As you say the R1 will be track only soon but strange that the MT10 with basically the same engine continues on....
Looks like the front indicator light iPad a fault. Flashing a lot from the 360 camera shots around 5:22
probably always on LED; they always seem to be blinking on camera
It looks sooo good
Absolutely love your videos! Very watchable. Look forward to more.
Glad you like them thanks 👍
They have ruined the riding position on this bike as they have done since my RRY I luv and still ride so comfortable, all these new supersports are all to aggressive riding positions made for the track not the road! Have ridden my RRY on several occasions down to the south of Spain with no discomfort at all grwat bike thanks, have tryed loads of up to date sport bikes and u can keep them thanks the RRY is just to good!!!
If I win the lottery, this is on the list! 🥰
Stunning! Great review as always
What a gorgeous bike, considering what you get a bargain at 23 and a half. Id buy it park it in the living room and just stare at it!
Gee you some rider I never have skills or confidence ride such beast lovely sound fantastic looking you got marvell at the progress I got a sc 33 919 I was surprised how torque that machine has but I feel like a frog on that am 6.1 long legs I rode down street from my house seemed like few metres I was at speed limit .barley cracking throttle I went visited mum at cemetery lost front then real u was giggling going mum I might see you sooner tires where toast my bad.
I restored my 954 last year if you want to ride and it and produce a video on it chopsy
I sold my RR6 Fireblade and replaced it with an MT09, I don't miss the wrist pain to be honest!
Was at oulton Park on a track day parked next to the same model, I was shocked in the size of it to my fzr400
I’m in . Take the reg plate of and see you all tomorrow.😂😂
Custom riding gear. Nice!
A little remark if i may to set the record straight. My first blade was a black 93 launch version, yes, the tankslapper and i owned many generations after that. The Cbr1000rr has always been a comfortable racer compared to the competition. That's nothing new.
It's the same question as "do you NEED an incredibly beautiful wife". No, you don't but it ain't half better than having an ugly one!!
Quick box it up, I send you the address...I'm sure Honda wont miss one. No but seriously, this bike reminds me of the CB 1100 R of the 1980's when Honda made a limited run of superbikes so they could compete in the production racing. What a gorgeous looking machine, would buy one tomorrow if I could. Look forwards to the shootout with the R1.
Wow! Tokyo by night that dash but still no "Sumo setting" chopsie...😊
What a beastie
WOW, looks gorgeous - and I am not a 'Blade fan' and goes like a scalded cat !! one of those bikes that just eggs you on to silly speeds ..... I'm getting too old for it ! 🤣
I still haven't found a madder version than the 954😂
Great machine, but it does make the CBR600RR look like a bargain at less than half the price. (I’d still prefer the full ‘blade if I could afford it!)
If you and Greg do a Q & A toward the end of the year. Maybe a question could be what is the ideal sports bike for the road. I've not found it yet. 2019 V4 pani, 2016 959, 2010 R6, 99 R6, 06 R1, 97 fireblade. The rc990 looks interesting.
Yes thanks, good question 👍
Try a GSXR 750 perfect for the road
@@theincrediblesulk5543 Yes, I'm looking. Getting rare to find a good one.
Nice vid & bike. It's a great machine but too much of everything for me personally, but I get it & very much enjoyed the review.
I'm amazed even a sandwich holder in the front air intake. What will Honda think of next?
How's the noise compared to the previous generation? The sticker on the frame says 96 dB versus 99 on the old bike, the exhaust can is also bigger on the new one.
Yeah not as loud as the old one, much quieter
Why we ride one word fun.
You can nearly see the grin through the helmet 😂
Need a vs video with the zx10r like you did for the 600s pls
How do you compare it to the 2020zx10r? I love my zx10r 2020 but really like the honda but don't know if I can ever give up my 2020zx10r because it's just so good my zx10r will just touch your soul when you ride it ❤️ love it
I don't think comparing a 600 to a litre bike for the road should be a thing. They ride completely differently. I personally prefer the feeling of a litre bike and the power just gives it character. The 1000 is better all day long road and track imo
Not related to this video, but I'm still looking forward to the KTM 990 Duke vs Yamaha MT-09 SP video you hinted a while back, as I'm looking to get one of those bikes.
Yes just need to edit it 👍
Another quality video 👍at least it didn't lie down on the H2 junction (sorry🤐)
Haha no thankfully 😆 👍
How does it compare to Greg's GSXR1000 (assuming he still has it). Could be a 3-way shoot out with the R1....
I cancelled mine and ordered the Ducati V4s Panigale 2025.
I used to joke about bikes and cars eventually being called the RRR …
And now it’s happened 😂
When are we going to get the RRR-R?
When will it be on a yours full testing 2024 yamaha yzf-r1 and 2024 suzuki gsxr-1000r,,,i think that for 1000 cc class from japanese only 2024 yamaha yzf-r1 and 2024 suzuki gsxr-1000r miss a lot...
They should make a naked version of this bike.
48k USD in my country
214hp for the road is mental. Theres a reason why the H2R isnt road legal...how much further we gonna go? 230hp?
Is it just me or is the indicators flickering now and again ??
It’s a firebalde enough said
I do not want to hear that liter bikes have to much for the street , they do not . NANNY state thinking but you are in the UK.
fantastice bike 👑👑👑👑
10:45 it’s not cheating unless you go past the elbow
Another excellent review Chopsy! It looks like a great bike, but as I feared (moved away from 1000cc sports bikes) and you suggest, just too much for our roads…
How do you find the Blade compared to the R1 and more interestingly the S1000RR for the bottom end and mid range torque?
Edit: Just saw the part of the video where you mention that you'll be comparing it with the R1.
Yeah comparison to follow 👍
@@LambChopRides Certainly looking forward to it. I own an R1 and also an M1000R which has the exact same engine as the S1000RR.
I've improved the ergos on my R1 by using Helibars which give it a 40mm rise and an aftermarket seat which is bazillion times more comfortable than the plank that Yamaha provides :-)!
Beautiful bike and my favourite paint scheme but totally pointless and too frustrating if you live in the UK and don't do track days.
Chopsy you've got to stop reviewing all these grand new machines! My wallet is getting nervous! Top job
are the new fireblades only the RR-R version now then?
Yes in the UK
What a weapon.To much for the road for me.
On the track.God forbid.😂😂😂
No R1 in Europe due to emissions euro 6-7+
Capable of 70mph at roughly half the maximum revs in first gear. This bike is totally wasted on public roads. If anyone's gonna spend £23k on this, they'd better have lots of track days lined up! lol 😊
24/10000

这款摩托车的振动抑制和快速位移是否比上一代差得多

Is the vibration suppression and quick shift of this motorcycle much worse than the previous generation？
Good video I have to disagree. You don’t ever want cruise control on a sports bike as you will be in the wrong gear for the corners and creates a situation of not concentrating if you want cruise control do not get a sports bike. And before everyone says motorway for cruise control wrong gear when you have to break hard.
I'd rather have Honda build a V-4 with comfy ergos....
You probably missed out on I would say the best blade, 954
Naaah not for me...ill stick to my cbr 929 RR fireblade its year 2000 wit 70000 miles on the clock and it still kicks a$$...i aint sellin it
If I was Honda, I’d double down and make the fireblade forever. Make a new sports oriented vfr1200 and call it the ice blade. Make a new VTR1000 call it the earth blade. Then a 2 stroke 4cyl 750 called the squid destroyer
Why am I constantly asking myself whether or not I should part-ex my 2023 CB1000R for this crazy machine, when I have absolutely no intention of ever taking it on the track?
You have money to burn
Super sexy motorcycle 💜but logically too much for the street. The kind of motorcycle you buy with feeling but without common sense 😂
Gorgeous but so, so expensive
Not so much when the new v4s is £30k
is the speedo in kph or mph?
Why do the indicators flash all the time ?
They are on solid orange all the time but look like they are flashing on tv as they are led.
Looks stunning but it’s waisted on the road, maybe a 750 with 150hp would be more fun
Who needs to justify power 🤷
Yep €30,099 in Ireland - so never going to happen.
Could have a ninja and a cbrr 600 for the price of a blade and still have a licence 😂
You’re not 270 lbs that’s gotta be an exaggeration. Or the reason why bhp keeps increasing on liter bikes 🤔
If only it were! 😫
294lbs if what you said to Bruce is right.
I wish it had dual side exhaust
