Changing mine right now, 100% on the build quality and ease compared to Ducati and even Yamaha/Kawasaki, filter from dealer was marked different to what was original (9P-12A vs 4Q10A) but was able to confirm have same part number with your video cheers!...........most bikes you can feel it in transmission getting stiffer upto the first oil change but this thing was like butter smooth still.
Do you mind if I ask how tall you are, and how you find it for comfort relative to your height? I know it’s no Goldwing either way, but I’m just curious how someone 6’ 1” like myself would fair. Beautiful piece of engineering for sure. I’ve had Ducatis (1098s) and Kawasaki (Zx6R, ZX10R) sport bikes over the years. Was gonna go back to a Ducati, but then this beast caught my eye. It seems like a serious piece of engineering for sure. Beautiful. I have goals of eventually tracking the bike as well, and I don’t really like the idea of a Ducati for that…Honda reliability has a bit more appeal in a track context, and I think I just like the inline 4 vibe as well. Congrats on the bike. Amazing. Expensive but worth it in my view.
Not at all I’m 5‘11“ tall. The feeling you get when you sit on or ride a bike is incredibly personal and my experience might not translate to what you would feel but with that caveat, I will tell you that I was quite surprised when I sat on the bike in the showroom at how comfortable it was. I then went back home and researched and discovered that Honda had raised the foot pegs and raised the handlebars to make it more comfortable. So I was not imagining it. I have not yet tracked the bike. But I suspect that I will be more comfortable on this bike, which should translate to faster lap times. Just waiting for a decent break in the weather. Good luck.
I’m close to buying one. How is it to ride under 60 mph? Is it just a normal motorcycle or are you constantly stressed about touching the throttle wrong and dying?
Yes, I can do that. It might take some time, but I do plan to add radiator and oil cooler guards, and that would be a good opportunity for a DIY on fairing removal.
I see saito racing sliders, what spools and stand are you using for this? I'm picking mine up in 2 weeks and have to immediately put in storage because of weather.
Expensive motorcycle gets special treatment. Motorcycle lift, all oem parts, clean garage, torque wrench. You seem like a meticulous person.
You're making me want to have one part of my collection.
😅

Thank you for the video.
You bet!

@ Thanks for your insights. Are you going put cheaper fairings on the bike for the track? It would suck to have to replace those factory fairings.
@@dlj1285 I should. I’m looking around for a set.

With ride by wire and ride modes, you should feel no stress. 😊
Do you think its possible to do a video on how to remove the upper fairings, I am having trouble with them.
Yes, I can do that. It might take some time, but I do plan to add radiator and oil cooler guards, and that would be a good opportunity for a DIY on fairing removal.
@ this is perfect, I have the Carbon Winglets but need to remove those upper fairings to reach the winglets!

@@obcmtg595 any 8 mm spool will do. Mine are from GB Racing. Pit bull stand.
About to do the first oil change on my CBR1000RR in a few days. Which oil filter did you use on your bike?
Bought OEM from Honda. I don't mess with oil filters and always use OEMs.
@brilliantspeedsuperbikes awesome, thank you for your help.
You probably lost your factory warranty on the bike ..you supposed to take it to a certified honda dealer for the first oil change
Not true.
Yeah, nonsense.
