I'm loving it! Great to feel the buzz of biking again!
Absolutely Ace review, you sir deserve a medal.
I've had this exact bike for 3 months now, amazing handling!
What have you got now?
Good quality review. Thank you.
Keep the fireblade without the electronic rider aides bs I love this bike!
Lonely Spawn lol
CycleCruza are you saying you'd rather not have aids?

Hey cycleCruza
This bike is just perfect.
*I have the model of this.I leaned the bike and found out that it can lean pretty low.Thanks to the exhaust design.This bike will be mine one day.*
Perfect test. Good job.
Just bought a black 12' cbr1000rr. Amazing motorcycle. So user friendly.
sweeet looking forward to seeing it
Awesome bike, no gadgets or fly by wire, great chassis, and cheaper than all the rest... and if you want something that handles well out of the crate, this is the bike...
Exactly.
Awesome motorcycle awesome review 👍🏾💯🇬🇧
perfect. beautiful, gotta get one..
Great video
I had an 08 model, it consumed a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Other than the oil consumption, I loved it !!!!!!!
My next toy what a beautyful machine!!!
Nice video + bike
Dam brother, you can ride.
There's something awesome about Hondas that apparenty a lot of people,riders/so called riders dont seem to get afetr all these years of Blade history..Hondas arent about shoulder ripping power man..Its about making the rider feel safe and enjoy the ride..Its about feedback,tons of feedback,its about intuitive handling and linear delivery..Thats Honda's heritage bitches!!!!!
I've got the 2011 and this new one certainly won't make me change it! The blade is the perfect road bike!
pure jewell....
Nice riding
Well done Old chap
The best road superbike. Period. :)
There’s something about Honda that makes it special, it’s just a solid brand. You know exactly what you’re going to get.
I agree totally. my next bike will be the ZX10R. on a track the BM & ZX would have the advantage. in the real world your local twisties the midrange of the Blade does make it an easy bike to ride. Ive got a 675R have trouble finding roads that you can ride that to its full potential. anyway who cares I think all the litre bikes are excellent. I would be happy to be given any of them. does'nt matter what you own, long as ya got ya arse on a bike !
Unfortunately, here we are six years later and still no Honda V4 superbike, although it's rumoured that a RVF1000R is being released in 2019
5:31 is a great shot!
Fireblade is the nickname for the CBR1000RR!
I hear what you're saying. I started off on a CBR 600RR and there was a build quality to it that the Suzuki doesn't quite have. I just seem to feel more confident on Honda's. I've only ridden Honda & Suzuki tho.
Some prick wrote my 2010 gixxer off and I've seen these 2012 blades going for around £7800 now (trade price). I'll probably end up going back to Honda.
Its a fantastic motorcycle for the money. It is easy to ride, very reliable, and the handling is great...warning..the stock tires on the bike suck. Make sure they are warm before you push it or you WILL be high siding.
I prefer Honda....Honda has something that other companies dont! I dont know.. I cant explain it If you have a Honda u know what I mean :P
DSTR facts
HONDA JAPAN FOR LIFE👍😎
That s so true!
BEST
I wish I could get on such a motorcycle
But I'm from Iraq, Iraq, his condition is stable
I love these motorcycles
true but the bmw or the zx does'nt have the midrange the blade has. took 1 for a testride the other day and they are a great bike. have a look at motorcycle USA street and track test, good review !
❤️❤️❤️
How about a video on the new 600RR
Also true. But that little edge the honda has when it comes to just opening up the throttle; last only a couple seconds. Then the bmw and zx10 fly by it after that. So the midrange power isn't really an advantage at all over the other bikes. In my opnion.
I love the snub nose.
5:32 superb throttle control :O
Even in 2016 I'm interested in this bike because it's such a good road bike compared to something the race bike the R1 is now. And they are very cheap to buy right now. Not popular, so if you want a new one dealers are selling them at cost to be rid of them.
+turbo311 The new CBR1k aren't popular? what, why? Honda's are the "creme de la creme".
Wow! Anthony Hopkins on a Fireblade!
Exellent bike! somehow lost some desing styling, just a personal opinion, but always been a great bike.
There is a repsol edition for 2013
Man, imagine, a V4 Fireblade with a full electronics package...would give BMW & Kawasaki a run for its money.
Yeah!
I've been waiting for the v4 fireblade since it was first "pictured" (i.e., CGI mock up) as an exclusive on the cover of MCN since 2006. Don't hold your breath.
+J eL What advantages are offred by a V4 versus an inline 4? Does this provide for a power advantage, or is it just a weight-distribution/CG thing?
Karl Hungus power delivery is smoother due to better engine primary balance. amount of power is much of a muchness
disadvantage: packaging, 2 cylinder heads, basically more expensive to build
Not really. The VFR800 has less power than the CBR600RR and in terms of torque for displacement makes less torque per CC as well (62nm for 599cc vs. 75nm for 782cc). vs the blade it isn't even close, the blade has 112nm for 999cc (for the 08-11)
You're one of my favorite riders! Luv BikeShow...are you in down under? I'm here in the states Missouri it sucks. I'm 63 luv the Fireblade but since I'm huge and like to carry a passenger ill stick with my lasts-forever '97 Cbr1100xx it's pretty fast too!
Why does it suck that you're in Missouri? That's some of the best road ways you'll find . How big are you also.. I'm 6'1 250 and looking at getting one of these. Plus I will have my girl on board at times
true
I remember when the 900 came out and riders were crashing them left, right and centre !!
i agree with you. Its where 99% of riders spend their time; in the mid-range.
Cbr 🔥🔥🔥🔥 always Honda make smooth engine riding comfortable is the main thing real star Honda 💯🥰
cool
Show. tenho uma.
Compare cbr 1000rr & BMW S1000rr, which bike very good?
I wish these vids were in 720p
สวยงามมากอยากได้อะ
honestly at 5,85'(174cm without shoes) and 150lbs(69kg) will I struggle with this bike? will I be tall enough?
Horsepower isn't everything, the Fireblade boasts in handling and comfort, a rider who is comfortable is able to push his limits more and is therefore faster.
Why there are brow calipers on some of those HRC 2012? There used to be black.p
I have the snub nose repsol 2010 fireblade and I love everything about it its a true road bike for fast Sunday blasts , the torque is sensational for everyday riding and handling is great yeah there's faster bikes out there with more electronics and more bhp however in the real world they can't touch the fireblade
You nailed it. IN THE REAL WORLD.
Anytime on a fireblade is a good time
i cant find a good review like this on the 2012 cbr600rr any have a link?
never been a fan of the car fireable, had 3 of different ages, traded up and i now have an rd500 and a ducati 999 find both of them much more fun than the fire blade
Perfect beginner bike for LAMS
Whay is the different fireblade and cbr1000rr? .
Unfortunately no V4 on 25th Birthday fireblade
Wow have things changed...
3:43 That line looks like a chunk of tire is about to rip off.
so whats your argument to the isle of TT where they use street bikes like this and you have the fireblade winning?
if they can make beautiful bike, they will sell more.. but not many people dream of buying Honda...
what about the KTM RC8?
god damn the old man can REALLY ride
luis laurencio With age comes experience
+Benana and wisdom
and erectile dysfunction
juicer404 😂😂😂
I afraid no complete redesign until the liter bike market picks up.
the better sports bike in the world.
Honda supersports in general are more road focused with more midrange punch and a more comfortable ride. Most supersports owners (myself included), won't ever take their bikes on the track. I don't need to make all my power up top, and if I did, I'd buy an R6 instead of my CBR600RR.
i like the snub nose better
Am I the only one who likes the "snub nose" 09-11 best? Oh by far! Like a puff adder with a rat in its gob, rather that the pointy shark look like everything else in the world.
Oldpigsass me too
Honda needs to do some major upgrades to compete with the bmw s1000rr and kawasaki zx10r all in the
Thumbs up if you are watching this at the end of 2015 !
Nearly 4 years later and still no update to the bike !!
Honda we are very disappointed. Do something !!!
i dont know i f i like the new one better than this one... dreambike
i prefer the front looks of the old cbr's
This one looks much much much Better than the bullshit new one
Wheels are actually heavier according to Honda. Stronger but heavier
best*
Is this good for beginners?
+SpaztheGamer Troll alert!
Yeah as soon as you turn the key it detects your experience level and if you aren't experienced enough it explodes instantly.
awesome stuff
+Jack McCourt well you do have to put it into gear..lol.. check out TT Isle of Man....thats taking it to the limit >;-)
+SpaztheGamer dude i sugest u should get like ninja 300 or like cbr250.
kinda different story since its 2 cilinder machine, and honda, kawasaki and bmw has 4 of them. but ktm is great bike in my opinion, if you have the money since its not that cheap. rather compare it to Ducati:)
The only thing I would like to see is a TFT screen. and maybe kill that ugly over weight exhaust but thats what the after market is for. I agree this bike doesn't need the fancy electronics. Maybe ABS would be my only choice.
+Pedro “CrazyDiavelRider” C - I believe ABS is available on the CBR1000RR this year. As for display, I'd be happy with an analog tach and speedometer. A bike like this should move needles.
+Karl Hungus I wrote off my first 2012 cbrrr1000 a minivan turned left and struck my left side..a mother later I bought the same bike but the old owner upgraded it and the engine command makes a big difference, both bike have ABS and it make a difference.. these bikes are coooooooool..John McPint TT Isle of Man will tell you
the abs adds 26lbs of weight under the seat. you will notice the extra weight
Damn sportbikes are so slim and naked now, I have a 07 ZX 10 and I feel like it has a bunch of fairings compared to new shit...
There have been rumours of a Honda V4 litrebike for years now.
It won't happen.
(And the 2012 1000RR has heavier wheels than the 2011 model, I believe).
Good review but that background music is loud and awful
does this model burn oil ?
Faisal sm no
The bike is awesome, I own one but the stock tires suck.I replace with Michelin c3
I'm thinking about getting this bike. Are you still happy with your fireblade? Thank you
I STILL LOVE MY BIKE!!
Julius Savage I would live your bike too!
Hey big head
look who is winning isle of man pretty much every year .. Honda
I guess this is raw power no abs, no modes, no shit 😫
2012-2016 is basically the same bike
2008-2020 is pretty much all the same bike.
Aprilia...FTW!!!!
Fiablade
To all the dudes talking crap about Honda. Is Kawasaki or Suzuki even in moto gp???
I'm also looking other bike but Ducati Panigale is too expensive, Suzuki and Kawasaki Ninja I don't like their design and exhaust, so the only choice I think is CBR1000RA NEW 2014
Yamaha R1...
Ducati 899 ...
jettero75 up
Mate...get the Fireblade. I've couriered on modern 500/600 cc tourers & owned modern litre bikes. The difference between a modern sportsbike and a modern cruiser/tourer alone is massive in terms of capability. They'd make a 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 feel shite in comparison (no disrepect intended).
You'll fall in love with the handling/power delivery of a modern sportsbike.
If I had a r3 2015 do you think I could handle this
yeah man I'm also looking at 2012 cbr1000RR
i own 2011 fireblade. easy to handle. you be fine if you know how tp ride
Atleast you have driven some sort of motorcycle. Some ppl have even started on Hayabusa and they are fine. So go for it!
