Wow man we love your reviews...You provide such a valuable informations, so precise, pin point review....hopefully u keep doing more! Litetally u just say what people want to hear and it's not just me, i've talked to all or my friends Great job srsl!
Honda need to go too a V4! They’re running back of the pack in WSBK, and they’re not even on the grid in domestic championships outside BSB. MotoAmerica or ASBK. Soichiro Honda would be shamed of the current state of Honda racing.
Honda needs to stop playing and just make a V4 superbike already. They have the R&D, they have the chassis and engine already drawn up, it's time. Unless they want to bow out of sbk racing as a whole, without making the proper changes to compete in a modern world, they will continue to be back of the pack grid fillers no matter what talent they buy. Bautista left honda for Ducati(v4 with a good chassis) and instantly started winning. It's not the rider, it's the bike.
I didn’t see Neevsy that excited for sometime and it shows how great the bike from his reaction, i think I wasn’t wrong about my choice for the next bike.
Only the SP version available in the UK? There was a time when bikers could afford a Fireblade. What did Ducati say a few weeks ago. “If you want a Ferrari you have to pay Ferrari prices”!!! Great review Michael, your enthusiasm for this new Blade shone through and made me want it even more! But I guess on reflection many bikes when fully specced command similar prices to the Fireblade SP these days.
difference is if you buy a "ferrari" or a ducati, the real cost is hidden-its the long term ownership, and the maintenance costs far surpass the original costs of ownership the honda the price is up front, with no long term costs except oil changes. no maintenance. no breakdowns. no issues whatsoever.
Im pretty sure Honda is actually run by a Batman villain. They simultaneously make the world's most average cars and sensible motorcycles while also making the Blackbird and race bikes that melt your spleen. I've been diagnosed as bipolar, and I definitely see a kindred spirit in them 😅
Great work as always guys! Can't wait for the top dog shootout. And maybe the 600 shootout? Which would be more like a comparison since there's only two of them now lol
Wish Honda would make a naked version. They don't have anything to compete with things like my ZH2SE, Street Fighter V4's and the like. My first bike was CBR 600 F2 so I have a soft spot for them.
Reviews like this are what make sports bikes still the ultimate buzz in the motorcycle world. Absolute weapon ,hats off to Honda for keeping the class alive and updated. Neeves reviews are always #1 , always look forward to his opinions .
I can appreciate other bikes and have ridden many types but even when someone else rides passed and I'm walking, the excitement a sports bike gives for me is unrivalled. Still got my K5 1000 in full Yoshi engine tune, but this has got my interest 😲
Nice bike, but I would like to see new model Kawasaki ZX10 RR, c'mon Kawasaki. Everyone love Honda and Yamaha, but Kawasaki in WSBK is the most competitive from 10 years.
Nice detailed review, thank you. Clearly some very extensive development with some cool new features like the split throttle bodies. Nice to finally see adjustable options for ABS settings added too. One thing not mentioned that has me curious, what's with Honda's unwavering reluctance to equip their top tier track focused bike with braided brake lines? Surely it's not a cost cutting measure. Given the price of the bike, the difference in cost to equip at factory is an insignificant percentage. Likewise the idea the bike is aimed at racing and most bikes will have the ABS removed etc. seems an unreasonable justification given all the other bits clearly aimed at the consumer level, such as revised ergos and electronic suspension.
All of the changes made are going to make this Blade the one to beat in the coming years. The icing on the cake is the aesthetic design, just gorgeous.
Very informative but not too impressive if you don't know how crazy fast these bikes already were. It didn't help that he was talking so calmly most of the time (maybe he was still in shock😇)
I'm sad that this beautiful bike will only be a fourth string bike in WSBK. Honda has the ability to make a first string bike but sadly they never do. For years they sucked in WSBK but were first in motogp. Now in both classes they just suck.
On the European bike specialness point, it is important to recognise the build quality and reliability of the Honda. They are different, not better, so choose your preferences. I have both so speak from experience, not bias. Clearly this Fireblade is more than we will ever need up to Superstock racing..
I had the 2003 model. The ergonomics and handing was fantastic. Then I switched to the first model with ABS. A disaster. 6 times at the Honda garage for fixes. Never was resolved. Had to let it go and went to BMW. Honda was very weak with their customer support.
Not as exotic? Cause it's not a v4? Yeah.. I love V4s but I hate that everyone always says V4s are better.. If V4s were more common than inline 4s I bet people wouldn't say that.

Sp

What do you mean skip to 12:05 to see specs?!? We’re all here for Neevesy what we he says is gospel!!
Wow man we love your reviews...You provide such a valuable informations, so precise, pin point review....hopefully u keep doing more! Litetally u just say what people want to hear and it's not just me, i've talked to all or my friends
Great job srsl!
I appreciate that!j
@@motorcyclenewsdotcomyeah quality releases these Honda tests mate
Great review, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hi Mike lovejoy here the face book warrior 😂 hope you're well , what are your views on the honda compared to the 2023 bmw m1000rr competition
Ooh the intake noise 💦
Honda need to add braided brake lines to this bike.
I think your just a cruise missile compared to Tommy whose most definitely a MINUTEMAN missile 🤣
Had a giggle you nearly floored the tyre warmer man! Great review as ever.
F*** me, the way Bridewell went past you and stormed off in to the distance...... that was nuts!
Honestly one of admin's favorite tracks 🔥Listen to that thing scream down the straight
I wish Honda success in WSBK
They need a V4! The competition is just better!
I don't
Kawasaki won the first race in australia
I don't think so..
They are way behind other competitors..
@@KyleMicenai think same ....but Ducati V4 motor is much strong in WSBK
13:35 Neeves almost KO-d that poor guy putting tyre warmers on 🤣🤣 great review as Always by MCN, bike is epic 🤩
Would have made a great blooper reel
noticed that too lol
This whole video was such a huge step up, brilliant review, editing and have been watching for years, great work neevsy and the team at mcn.
Much appreciated!

Great review yet again. No waffling just straight to the point info. Some bike! very temping
finally they make CBR have shorter gearing ratio
Full lap was awesome! (And also just beautiful footage.) Hope you guys can do that more often.
That's the plan!
So great to see the Blade being great again!!
Best looking superbike out there!
Fantastic Michael 👏👍

💯 It’s time Honda comes out with a V4!
Who can afford bikes at these prices, That's why their dying as a category
I didn’t see Neevsy that excited for sometime and it shows how great the bike from his reaction, i think I wasn’t wrong about my choice for the next bike.
Is America getting this bike and the new 600rr?
neevsy brilliant review as all ways. fireblade a work of art . i have a 1997 model amazing bike
beautiful bike, the 600rr aswell
Neeves should start doing audiobooks and just talk about specs of different bikes 😍
Cant wait for the video against the bmw and the ducati^^

We're so lucky to have Neevesy... that's all I wanted to say.
I ordered mine today should be here by july ❤️ full spec sp
Love the production on this, great vid guys!!!!
Much appreciated!

we need a V4
Who will buy it?
People who buy Ducati and also buy every v4 bikes made.
Great work as always guys! Can't wait for the top dog shootout. And maybe the 600 shootout? Which would be more like a comparison since there's only two of them now lol

European exotica is overrated and unreliable. 😅
Glad to see the blade making a comeback
I was thinking "Crikey, that looks quick", and then Tommy Bridewell flew past...
Onya cobba , you've got the best 'but" in the business thanks Chief
Thanks for watching
Wow! I really want one of these. 😊
you've got the canepa style pov shot now!!! WOOOHOOO

I’m in love with the SP beautiful machine
Thanks Neevsy. Looking forward to it.
😀

Excellent vid neevesy, at last a honda that could be an mcn superbike group test champ.
What was it like chasing Tommy Bridwell and John McGuinness?
Looks and sounds a great bike to own now.Thanks.
best bike in the game
Thanks, I have lived long enough for honda not to be a joke.
as a sad yamaha fan, I'm happy for you :(
Honda garbage. How many wins are even placing in the top three in wsbk
@@gabri12fulyou probably ride a chinese moped
@@riderzinc Yeah! Proudly, with your mama on the back.
@@gabri12ful You must be 5 years old lol
Great video! One of the best
Glad you enjoyed it!
Got to love how Portimão looks remarkably like Jerez (9m46s)...
And it is Portimão, not Portimao.
Hope you enjoyed the rain. 🤣
I know 200BHP on the road now is much to much but but what would it be like to have as your happy day bike?
Neevesy is a gift to all 2 wheel kind. What a treasure. Cheers from across the pond.
A good day was had here...
Yh buddy
For the stupid algorithm
Best ever mcn review, so excited for the new blade! RIP to the R1 ( it's a crime)
Honda rider for 35 years
A happy owner the Honda 2020 sp
a magic bike . Expensiv but worth every
buck.
POV was mind blowing.
For the quality of reporting this channel provides, I'm surprised you only have 339k subscribers. Just subscrbed. THANK YOU !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone from the media department has been watching the Schaff videos as the track footage has up a level
Seems we have peaked again on the HP for 1000cc`s. Slap on the superchargers !
Welcome back Fireblade !!!
Very informative but not too impressive if you don't know how crazy fast these bikes already were. It didn't help that he was talking so calmly most of the time (maybe he was still in shock😇)
Sorry Bro🦄...but I'm only buying the Bike to ride 450 km tours..."Shame on you" if you only ride the Bike in "Circles♾"..😅🤣😂

Looks and sounds fantastic. Great to see Honda back in there. 👍
It sure is!
Thanks for bringing me along , felt like I was there !
great stuff

You hung on well with the big guys on the track. The satisfaction with the bike shines through.
Patronising
Anyone looking to buy one of these? I'm trying to decide between the Fireblade and R1M. :/
Damn the gearing looks good so far similar to my old 2001 Daytona when revved out.
Good morning MCN I was wondering if its possible if you could do another shoot out for 2024 of the liter bikes and supersports
Brilliant video

here me still using a 2007 fireblade for track lol
That was the year EVERYONE had it. Such a good model
The all carbon one made me instantly cream, can’t believe there wasn’t a warning for that
Your right on sir your master bike rider like me in CA tulary county kings county
15:33 Bike screaming around the track
Subtitles: "[Music]"
So are you telling me my Gen2 Hayabusa is NOT the fastest bike in the world anymore?
Podo motor iki merrje sinf ngrusak ora aku sing di fitnah malah aku .jokowi kon jujur wes rajabat dekenen ra ono resikone kanggo Indonesia
What a very pretty bike looks Fab. Let's hope it can win at super bike 👍
Man they made a ton of changes.. i hope its more competitive in wsbk
It is almost impossible to get insurance for fireblade SP RRR . Why? non of insurer accept for a new one
can i have say to admin please show more the bikes when Michael speaks.thank you
Had the 2009 model. Love a go on this one! Great review.
Thanks to mcn and neevsey, masters of their craft.
That HDR filter looks absolutely atrocious. Look at the sky 🤣
Will m dunlop have one of these girls for tt
Great Review!
thought you were going to kick that guy in the head lol, doing your tyre warmer
If they did a naked version they'd sell bucket loads.
im excited to see a comparison between the fireblades ,ape and duca.
