Some bikes might be faster. Some bikes may feel more "exciting". But none have the soul and feeling that Honda managed to produce in this bike! It's perfection.
Hi man, thanks for the video, you just got a new subscriber. In a couple of days I’ll go check out one in the same colour way as yours, 2013, ixil exhaust, decat, bar end mirrors, brake and clutch levers, led rear light with integrated blinkers etc and a bunch of other tasteful mods (in my opinion at least). It sits on 25.000 km, I cant wait to see how the engine sounds and if the price is right I’ll get my fist bike. All the best!
Hey man, Sounds like the bike has all the mods that it needs :))) 25,000 km is nothing for these bikes I have seen some with 100,000 km on it and still running perfect. It is a perfect bike in every aspect (well it does drink fuel but lets skip that part) Not sure if it is a good first bike but if you are confident in your skills you'll be OK. Hope you get it. Glad you liked the video and ride safe!!!
I have a 2009 with 90 000 plus Km. It looks brand new moto. I ve done a few modifications too. Swingarm carbon protection, a rear road hug (don´t know if it´s the right word), carbon wheel guard, the little side fairings In carbon too, Akrapovic, K&N filter and an electronic gadget to make the Air/fuel mix right. Most important a front sprocket with less 2 teeth. This makes a all lot diference !! Now i am thinking in a power commander too. Love this Bike. When I bought the bike It was around 19 000 Km´s. Now like I said before 90 000 plus !!
Wow good for you man. Sounds like you are really enjoying your bike. They are meant to be driven and to be driven hard. I do track days on mine as well. One of the best naked bikes ever made if you ask me. Ride safe brother!
When I start mine it's exciting...when I click into gear and pull off it's exciting...if I need more, cranking throttle to higher revs gets exciting...handling is as good as I need....it's puzzling.....being understated....and despite the power it's quite capable ....that 133 wheel must be decent ...the torque is always so pleasant......
Hey man thanks for the upload:) I went to check out a stock second hand cb1000r in HRC colours and I’m really happy with the potential you’re displaying here:)) I like how compact it is and how perfect the ergonomics are coming from a monster s2r 1000. Needless to say I bought it 😛 this will obviously not have the ‘character’ of the monster but too much character is also possible😂 peace and ride safe
Hey thanks a lot for watching. Congrats on your purchase. I am sure you will enjoy it more and more as the time will go by. If you do some modifications it will be even better. I love the Monster and V twin engines generally. CB is completely different animal though. I also have SV650 and I love that bike for its engine. Take it out on twisty roads and enjoy the ride man!
@@kims2r It really is indestructible 😄 I do want to own a Ducati at some point but for now I am super happy with my CB. Will take it to track soon so will post about that. Ride safe ✌🏼
Hello, I got myself one after i watched this video about 10 times xD. Now I have a question. Did you have any fault codes or things like that after doing the DeCat? I am thinking about removing it myself but am a bit scared that i get a check engine light or something like that
Greetings! Good for you man! You got yourself a very special motorcycle. The answer is no, I did not get check engine light after I removed the cat. I rode for one month like that and no issue whatsoever. After one month I put it on dyno. Do it for sure, it becomes a complete animal. Enjoy your bike and ride safe! Thanks for watching.
@@bxl1121 Icredible that you answer on a 2 year old video in less than 15 minutes! Thank you very much! I am still thinking because i am from austria and decat is kinda illegal here, i have to research if i get through inspection like that, but with the original kat it just doesnt sound like a 1000 should in my opinion. But the rest is amazing i absolutely love this machine since day 1
@@bxl1121 i belive you bro, cb1000r its a dream come true, i upload to yt all the process of installing akra to my cb600 if you want to see it, it sound amazing.
you know the cb1000r has double the power of a cb600 and is about the same weight, had a cb600 great bike for thrashing around and dont use much fuel, the cb1000r does about 120 miles to a tank.
Good Video mate and great bike. Got mine last September used with a setup similar to yours: Akra end can with the catalyst box removed, DNA air filter, Bazzaz Z-Fi fuel + traction module, Wiseco hi-perf pistons as well as a matris steering damper (plus a few cosmetic add-ons like tail-tidy, rear wheel hugger, adjustable levers etc). Previous owner also had the bike dyno tuned and judjing by the result I would also consider this essential. Totaly agree with you as to this proving hard to replace when the time comes ......
Thanks for watching man. Sounds like yours is more heavily modified :) steering damper, rear hugger and quick-shifter is something I am looking into now. I am enjoying this bike so much can’t wait for warmer weather! It is going to track soon so will probably report back on that. Ride safe and enjoy the ride. All the best.
Do you mean CB650R? If yes than yes I have ridden it and it is really god bike. Little bit underpowered compared to the rivals but it is fast enough. Handling is fantastic as well.
Exhaust or decat pipe? So the exhaust is Yoshimura R55 which is available pretty much everywhere like Revzilla, eBay etc. The decat pipe is from Dan moto and I bought it from their official eBay page. There are other options available as well. Thanks for watching and ride safe

You are welcome. I hope this video is helpful for future owners of the CB. It is a truly epic machine so I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching!

I’m a beginner, so i have to ask. What’re the benefits with the -2 teeth from the sprocket?
When I start mine it's exciting...when I click into gear and pull off it's exciting...if I need more, cranking throttle to higher revs gets exciting...handling is as good as I need....it's puzzling.....being understated....and despite the power it's quite capable ....that 133 wheel must be decent ...the torque is always so pleasant......
Yeah man power is always there. Bike is still going strong and is getting ready for track day. Thanks for watching
Looks really nice in black and gold nice bike man
Thanks man. Black and gold really does look great 🙌🏻
damn, these power stats sound extreme (awesome)
Great review , do you have the make of your tail tidy
Hey thanks for watching. I believe it was R&G tail tidy. Ride safe!

Great sounding pipe , suggest a carbon rear hugger ….
Agree. Rear hugger will look great on it.
My Hornet 2012 it looks vry similar, nice review buddy!!
Yep Hornet is the big daddy :))) thanks for watching man. Ride safe
cb1000r is the replacement for the hornet
Beautiful bike bro, i have cb600f, with AKRA full. Maybe in the future i Will got cb1000r. 👍👍👍
I have ridden cb600 as well and it is a great bike. Can't compare it to 1000cc though, liter bikes are on different planet :)))

Great looking bike! Looking to get one as an upgrade from my cbr600 F3
Thank you! It looks good and rides good as well. You will enjoy it for sure. Ride safe ✌
how did that work out for you, i miss my cbr600's had many i love my cb1000r but you know its not as fast as the 600 but its a hoot none the less.
You have made cb1000r look like gsx1000. Which is great
Actually they do look similar :) Thanks for watching

Have you ever ridden the later cb600? was looking at upgrading

where did you order that exhaust from i cant find it

man thank you very much its almost imposible to find a decat pipe and headers for this bike@@bxl1121
very good is that 2014 model, we just customized a 2011, it is 95% black
Yep 2014. It really is a great bike. Thanks for watching
Nice! I got a pretty mint 1985 honda nighthawk 650. Thinking to graduate into this bike. It's for sale on craigslist.
You won't be disappointed man its an epic bike!
Just got one an its class.. more speed needed tho befo dyno
You won't be disappointed. It is an epic bike. Safe ride man 🍻
just bought one...!
Congrats! you are going to enjoy it very much. I did commute, touring and track days on this bike and it is perfect for everything.
@@bxl1121 thanks for your feedback
I am very curious
First it needs an oil change and in a few months a new rear tire
it's more like a hornet, I think...
You can call it a big Hornet but it is much much better in every way than Hornet :)
როგორ გეტყობა რომ ქართველი ხარ
😄🍻
Cheers man, good vid. Gonna test ride one soon but I’m basically already sold!
Thank you man, glad you liked the video. Definitely Go for this bike you will not regret. Ride safe ✌🏼
