    I watched this review when it was recent and I just knew I had to get my hands on this black edition CB1000R. I could not get it 2 years ago because there weren't really available where I live so I decided to wait and so I did just that. Now, 2 years later I am happy to share that I finally got one and oh Boy, was the wait worth it. Thank you Guys for this fantastic video on this Gem of a Motorcycle.

    I took one for a test ride a couple of weeks back, absolutely stunning machine. My ride home on my VFR800 after seemed like it was navigating through treacle. I'm 5'8" and had no issues with getting both feet almost flat and shunting it around. I'm hanging off until September to get one, when the plates go over to 72.

      @@gregory7720 Absolutely smitten! Every movement is almost telepathic. You think it, the bike reacts immediately. Only gripe is the location of the horn button. So infuriating riding around hooting like an absolute twat. I sold my 2017 GSX-S750 to get this but still have a 2017 V-Strom 650XT as a daily driver. Will take time to aclamatize. But the performance is out of this world! Especially seeing that I sold my GSX last August.

    Hello, I am also a veteran rider, I have been riding motorcycles for over 38 years, and among many of the motorcycles I have owned are, in order, the Honda CB 250, CB 500 and CB 900 HORNET. I am currently voluntarily retired from motorcycling, and have a Vespa from the 90s and a Honda Forza 350 to work with. I have seen many videos of motorcycles, but watching your video has encouraged me to return to the road, from what I have seen, the characteristics of the CB 1000 R are very similar to those of the CB 900 HORNET, but improved in power and in electronic aids, and reduced weight. Aesthetically it is brutal. At the end of July, at the Honda dealer in my city (Valencia, Spain), I had ordered an X ADV to replace my Forza 350 (scooter = scooter) that they were going to bring me in a few months. They had a beautiful red CB 1000 R in stock, but I didn't initially consider it to be my everyday bike. I went to the dealer this morning and asked for a test. They didn't have the CB 1000 R to test, but they did have the CB 650 R (I tried it the year it came out but there was a lot of delay in delivery) and I've driven about 40 miles on all kinds of roads, even in the city. A true delight, but for me it lacked the plus that the CB 900 HORNET gave me, so I have concluded that my everyday motorcycle is going to be the CB 1000 R. And the best: I am back on the road. Thank you very much for your way of informing, it is direct and pleasant. Keep going.

    This makes me all the more eager and curious to see you review a Kawasaki Vulcan S since it sits right in between this sort of naked bike and a traditional cruiser.
    If the weather wasn't so crap I'd offer to ride down and let you ride and review my 2021 Vulcan S

    • @MrDarcy-OlMan
      @MrDarcy-OlMan  3 роки тому +1

      Yes the 650 is plenty fast enough tbh. It’s not all about speed anyway, but we have to convey that as it’s what many people wanted to know 👍🏼

    This bike looks stunning. But with this kind of motorcycles, with so much power, it is almost impossible to keep your driver's licence...
    That's why I prefer Harleys on open roads. You can have so much fun under 60mph compared to these bikes.
    I would compare it to the Suzuki katana or the gsxs 1000. But in terms of look, the honda is quite unique. I would still get the new gsxs 1000 for the Gsxr engine!
    Great review guys!

    • @MrDarcy-OlMan
      @MrDarcy-OlMan  3 роки тому

      Thanks buddy. It really is more powerful than you need on the road and personally cruisers are the sensible option. We put ourselves into others shoes as you know, and obviously lots of people want max power 👍🏼

    Enjoyable video to watch on a wet Friday pm. Good to see that your thatch is in good nick, & the green paintwork is standing up to the weather we're having. Hadn't realised you were local to me - I often ride the roads around Uppingham, Harborough & that winding route up to Melton Mowbray. Can't wait for some sunshine so I can get out there on my new RE Conti GT 650.
    The CBR? Lovely - I had one of the originals (2009 plate) & it was all the bike you would need - fast, stylish, comfy - & with the cachet of a fireblade motor. This new one is a worthy replacement but, like many new bikes, I don't think I've seen a single one on the road which is a shame.
