They forgot to mention how big the trunk is on the cbr1000rr. I can fit my 35mm, go pro hero 2's, go pro hero 4, sony as100v, travel tripod and still have room to spare, Now I keep a huge usb external battery in the trunk that powers my 3 rear cameras. The blade is a great street bike, love my 12 cbr1000rr after a year of ownership.
The honda may not be the fastest in the class of modern superbikes but it is definitly sexy as hell! Looking forward to buying one of these beauties in the future! Btw nice video :)
Why does everyone think the GSXr1000 is so ugly? I love the way it looks. Its aggressive and in a word "Tribal" looking. If that makes sense? I love the swooping panels and I love the headlight. Mine is beautiful in its Red and Black coloration.
This was really an amazing shootout. I really enjoyed reading the full test on your website. From the Infographics to simply everything - It was well laid out and kept me lusting for more. Thumbs up!
+777PharmD777 Folks love to bitch - it's human nature. I will work on choosing different words. After reviewing 100s of machines on camera it can be difficult to select original phrases.
+Adam Waheed Don't ever change your words! Thats what makes you, YOU! I enjoy watching you review a bike not some straight cut clean review. We can get that plenty!
luv2mx Sorry, had to delete the video to fix it. I wish YT would just let you swap out the video. Darn K1600GTL is the default in my template for the title, that will teach me to edit late into the night!
I own a kawi zx10r 30th anniversary edition 2015. Makes me sad to see it place last. Going from a 2009 r1 ... I loved it. Zx10 is my fav. But I never have ridden the other liter bikes. I'm 5'6 .. Weigh 155 pounds. The zx10 to me feels light,small and compact.
Brett Vasquez It's just a comparison video man, plus many of the things they pointed out are subjective. for example they rated the zx10r the lowest for appearance, which I was surprised to see. They have said it before that there really isn't a bad bike coming out now a days so there's a lot of competition.
Brett Vasquez You notice the zx10r scores low on the "rider subjective scorecard" because these guys are idiots, or are paid to score the way they did. 4 for engine performance? I mean really? Lmao what a joke.
These guys don't know how to ride better yet there scoring these bikes ok aprilia and bmw are top with r1 and zx10 next Honda is last sorry but boys your wrong !!
It may cost ur life, if u don't drive carefully, I heard about the new Kawasaki h2, what u think about that?, it's faster than a half a million bucks Bugatti Veron..., probably my f4mvagusta is close, but, I knew that before I wrote this comment.
Night Rider anyway I do favourite the Kawasaki 636 for my next bike, I want to learn a little bit stuntridin' shit..., hopefully that doesn't get me in to a wheelchair.!
From the day that BMW throw the gauntlet with their S1000RR...it never had real competition in his class. Every time some other manufacturer throws the gauntlet...BMW grabs it and smack them back to the ground. I never expected they will hold on top for so long.
Who cares about championships when you are talking street sport bike. Beside it looked good for them in SBK..if Melandri would do his job...it was the best machine at that time. And they did win races.
Wish I wasn't so content with my K6 Gix1000, the R1 would tempt me...btw, what's with the Waheed critiques...the guy's got personality, an essential ingredient for the main presenter ....the guest testers can be a bit wooden but he has got to have some flair, which he plainly does...peace :)
I don`t get it either, the front mask of BMW is a design fail yet ppl don`t see any issue with it tho. There`s no problem with Suzuki head light from the design standpoint.
BMW made it like that because they wanted to save weight on headlights but it wasnt bright enough to pass street legal, so they put a bigger light and left the original one as well to save 300g of weight, but weird lopsided lights
The bmw headlights are a two sided coin, some people absolutely hate them, and some others absolutely love them, personally i hated them when i first saw them, but somehow they grew on me and now i love them. I also like the gixxer headlight, but only for the 2009-2015 models. BUT, aesthetics aside, the bmw is the ultimate machine, can't argue with that
Am I the only one who doesn't trust the opinion of some guy's riding in the mountains on 1000cc super sports not being able to get there knee down? Riding in the wrong gear?
you're not alone. this is hands down the worst review I've seen. A comparison that doesn't mention specs is fishy. Not to mention they all said "like" a million times, like, learn some vocabulary, like seriously. These guys might mean well, but they definitely are not my source for bike comparison. Especially when they had suzuki second and honda third.
what a bunch of shit are those scores for the r1??? you gave it the worst score out of all the reviews i have seen! to be honest the eu version will be a lot better because it has a lot more power and so torque than the us version but still wtf

Yeah we get it. You like cbrs. Okay enough. Lol
Why do you need 3 rear cameras? You don't pass anyone.
+Scott Miller 3 cameras, 3 different views, is that simple enough for you to understand? lol
+TheSaneRider Last time I checked I also own a yamaha.
The honda may not be the fastest in the class of modern superbikes but it is definitly sexy as hell!

Yeah, i think it looks beautiful.
I hate the tail light, tho....
Gixxer looks better than honda
It's also as ugly and cliche as a tribal tattoo... But one man's trash is another's treasure, so have at it, fella.
This was really an amazing shootout. I really enjoyed reading the full test on your website. From the Infographics to simply everything - It was well laid out and kept me lusting for more. Thumbs up!
+Victor Aloji Thanks for the feedback on that.
"Really really...really really..."
Someone get Sideshow Bob a thesaurus and maybe a comb
+ApexIXMR YOU need to stop caring about such trivial detail which doesn't even remotely affect you.

+vidurc Thanks man - but I am a big believer that things can always be improved, so I will try and do a better job next time.
Excellent evaluation. Well thought out and executed.
After owning a 2012 cbr 1000 and a gsxr 1000 I’ve recently picked up a 2016 s1000rr and let me tell you it’s on a different league
All of them are great bikes. imagine riding a different one each week.
Long live the 2011 BMW K1600 GTL!
Hey you deleted all the comments about the 1600 GTL winning. It was a real triumph for a heavy bagger to win a Superbike Smackdown!
luv2mx Sorry, had to delete the video to fix it. I wish YT would just let you swap out the video. Darn K1600GTL is the default in my template for the title, that will teach me to edit late into the night!
Ray Gauger ha, I feel your pain. Edits look great.
luv2mx thanks!
That's a Honda sp in repsol plastics!
As always, good review fellas. Will be retiring in a few years, need a test rider....lol
Seriously, good review.
I'm surprised that the aprilia handling/susp is only 5...
Gixxer my choice and awesome..

Brett Vasquez people don't really agree with these smart asses! nobody gives a shit on CBR 1000RR! ZX10R is way better then old school Honda

+Akshay Kumar dumbass
Bmw is a great bike...but it cost too much!
It may cost ur life, if u don't drive carefully, I heard about the new Kawasaki h2, what u think about that?, it's faster than a half a million bucks Bugatti Veron...,
probably my f4mvagusta is close, but, I knew that before I wrote this comment.
Marine Forces After seeing it in person i think its hideous,overpriced,and impractical! I would much rather have a more balanced machine
Night Rider what's impractical,?, the bmw?
Marine Forces No no that bikes great...i meant the H2
Night Rider anyway I do favourite the Kawasaki 636 for my next bike, I want to learn a little bit stuntridin' shit...,
hopefully that doesn't get me in to a wheelchair.!
Jason looks straight outta Compton, lol

Aljosa Skrabelj well welllll wellllllll said :P
except the bmw doesn't win races anywhere ( even BMW made comment that they want to focus on winning championships)
Who cares about championships when you are talking street sport bike. Beside it looked good for them in SBK..if Melandri would do his job...it was the best machine at that time. And they did win races.
2015 BMW S1000RR....Nice....What kind of pretentious prick buys one of those? Probably me!
I like the way Adam describes things
+Ogre Doug Thanks man.
Adam Waheed
No problem bro
Here the gixxer was runner up, yet Motorcycle.com didn't even include it on their 1000cc test. It's all very subjective.
Without the 1299 Panigale S, this comparison is really lacking. I'd almost call it a hollow victory for the S1000RR.
really want the honda
I do have a chuckel when they call the GSXR a squid misssle !
R1 or ducati ?
I'll take the Yamaha. Idk why but that bike really grows on me after the bimmer.
Wish I wasn't so content with my K6 Gix1000, the R1 would tempt me...btw, what's with the Waheed critiques...the guy's got personality, an essential ingredient for the main presenter ....the guest testers can be a bit wooden but he has got to have some flair, which he plainly does...peace :)
Gsxr for life
People bag the GSXR for the front headlight but the BMW gets away with having 2 different headlights? I dont get it man.
I don`t get it either, the front mask of BMW is a design fail yet ppl don`t see any issue with it tho. There`s no problem with Suzuki head light from the design standpoint.
2 ugly ass headlights
BMW made it like that because they wanted to save weight on headlights but it wasnt bright enough to pass street legal, so they put a bigger light and left the original one as well to save 300g of weight, but weird lopsided lights

I also like the gixxer headlight, but only for the 2009-2015 models. BUT, aesthetics aside, the bmw is the ultimate machine, can't argue with that
I hate the lights on the BMW so glad they fixed it. I have to have shit match.
I don't know why he thinks the GSXR is so ugly The BMW is the one that looks like he got hit with the ugly stick.
Speedy Speed no you're ugly
What's the song?
Yamaha
I would get the aprilia or the beamer but the motorcycle dealerships wouldn't let me go with it without full coverage insurance
What damping and rebound settings did you adjust the BMW to where you felt like it gave you the best handling?
That my friend only you can answer. A damping and rebound setting is defferent for each person. It depends on hight and weight of the rider.
conare
Wtf

Only SUZUKI !!!!
Worse bike review I think I've ever watched
BMW not doing anything in wsbk! Go Ducati!
Am I the only one who doesn't trust the opinion of some guy's riding in the mountains on 1000cc super sports not being able to get there knee down? Riding in the wrong gear?
