Double RR is optimised for street mode while the Triple R is a track based superbike modified for street use.
How did you get that bike? I had one on order for 8 months, and I got a letter from the manufacturer stating there was a shortage and no dealer in America would receive a model due to high demand and low supply. Then my dealer told me that Japan and Europe had first pick when the new bike was released.
hey jack is the speedoo numbers indicating kmph or in Mph.
you're right though another R (CBRRRR) would make it devasting. like Triple X.....sort of
Seems like a rip of the BMW 1000RR in looks name and purpose..
RR= race ready. RRR= really race ready. I'm waiting for the RRRR version so everyone knows I'm really really race ready!
I’m waiting for the a rr-rr (gh) pirate edition
@@kwicksandz i though RR = race replica?
Hey that extra “R” is good for at least another 50 hp lol everybody knows that!
RRRR = Really Ridiculously Race Ready?
@@mt09madness RRRRR = Really Racey Ridiculously Running Replica?
Perfect commuter bike, no need to upshift in traffic, practically an automatic. Enough hp to never be late for work again!
A perfect example of a daily ride to work rider. Excellent passenger ergonomics for car pooling, great mpg, easy and inexpensive maintenance.
You forgot low price!
@@sputni4eg the insurance is also so cheap!
The question is.... why are we seeing this?
Zack didn't mention storage space but I suspect it's HUGE!
And it can go off-road too!
I have zero interest in buying a supersport bike, but will watch every one of Zach's videos because he's so damn entertaining and informative. Respect for still taking it along the dirt road even after all the rain.
@@nationalist3227 Each to their own, I like his style.
I'm in the same boat! I'll watch both Zach and Chris Northover from Bike World, regardless of what they're reviewing simply because they're the two best motorcycle reviewers on the internet - hands down!
@@mrbookendscan’t forget Michael neeves from MCN, my #1 reviewer besides the two you said 👌
This is a superbike wsbk homoligated. supersports are slower
Usually not a big fan of winglets, but these ones are clean!
have to say, this new honda and the new zx10 2021+ winglets look amazing
@@TheRealBhuado The BMW winglets are the best. Motogp winglets are sexy as hell
@@PEZ1514 too big for my preference, but sure, the bike is a missile 😬
I like "vents" looking winglets, not those that look like arms sticking out
A lot of them look like afterthoughts
Wow that exhaust rip at the end. Wasn't expecting that sound!
It's an AKRA, what did you expect from the best Exhaust manufacturer of the world.
@@laz1go286best?!?! Lmao there is no best manufacturer for exhausts Lolol you buy what you like but a sc project cr-t won’t make as much power as an akra but I would never put Akra at the top of the list 😂
@@NudaMan Yes, it is the best, look at the racing history and experience gained form that. Akrapovič exhausts are used in Moto GP, Worldsuperbike,Supersport, Supermoto, Motocross, Enduro and Rally raid. As of May 2010, Akrapovič systems have been used in a total of 38 world championships, all across motorsport.
So you can argue that an SC project has better sound, or it's cheaper but that is not everything.That is just a couple of aspects, but when you look at all areas Akra smashes all departments. In 2004, the company made its first contact with automobile industry and in 2007 developed and equipped an exhaust system for a Formula 1 race car. The company active as a supplier in the Porsche Sport Cup,
It is also the supplier of all major premium car manufacturers in Europe including the hypercar manufacturer Koenigsegg.
Any questions bro? :)
@@laz1go286 I think SC Project is better.
SC is used in MotoGP as well.
@@laz1go286 SC also
A beautiful iteration of the Fireblade. I rode a much earlier version years ago and realised it needs maximum respect, instant and extraordinary power delivery coupled with razor sharp handling. The engineering expertise and quality of materials are superb. Buy one, ride it you’ll never regret it.
Well said!! Yes only those that have owned one and rode one will understand ... love these bikes Honda is always superb
So true 👍🏼
Binging all these videos till I have enough money to buy a bike one day lol 😆
You too, huh?
I did the same started watching when he was doing the daily commute. Now have a MT-07, just keep it up and you'll get one. But definitely do the MSF course!
Me too, but it will be my 3rd bike. I'm just having Zach do the test rides
Buy a 125 grom or something no need for big bikes to have fun
That’s what you think. Till you get a bike and realize you’re going to be watching these until you’ve bought ALLLL the bikes
Brings to mind that every person I've met who quit riding, gets the same far away look in their eyes, like junkie remembering the last fix, and tells the same story: They loved the speed of their big i4, and realized they would die, but if they couldn't have it, they didn't want anything else. I4s are special engines.
I'm one of those. I'm digging this bike.
The more I read, the more I think that I’m the only person who can just cruise down to the grocery store on an extremely overpowered bike without feeling that tempted to break the sound barrier.
Thus, a very appealing aspect of the ZX4RR. Superbike engine sound and character without the associated ridiculous speed.
In regards to the @30:00 mark - I think the bikes aesthetics are supremely important for newer riders, or really anyone who doesn’t have the skill to get every ounce of performance out of a super sport. If you don’t have the skill set, then you likely won’t notice the variances from, say, the CBR to the Ninja to the GSXR, etc. I usually tell people to get the bike that will put a smile on their face not just when they open the throttle, but also every time you see it in the garage. That CBR is a gorgeous bike.
I'd get an mt07 over the cb750 hornet just because of the 180 rear tire. Only if Honda didn't offer everything else Yamaha lacks lmao.
Hopefully they change the rear wheel, give it a rear tire hugger (because it's just sacrilege that they don't) and drop a cbr750. Then I'll maybe have a reason to upgrade from my cb500f.
@@Daniel-dj7fh I will argue that skinner tires are very nimble though. My speed twin has the same profile and despite being a little hefty near the 500lb mark, it dances quite well. In the days of my cb300r learner I loved how light it was to turn on those 150/60s and 300lb weight.
@@JelloThatsMellow my cb500f also has a 160 rear, it's hella nimble.
But Mr. Ketterman said kids like looks, and that's why the 180 rear wheel is appealing to me, it looks fat.
But I'd argue that the lightness of the bike is more a weight thing. Haven't tested a whole load of bikes sofar but when I get to it I'll do a mental note on if the mt07 with 20mm wider tires and similar weight to my honda does feel more sluggish.
@@Daniel-dj7fhOne other thing to note is that the MT has more torque down low. I used to be one of the peeps who didn't think very highly of low-down torque until I've test ridden a CB650R. According to other journos most of the Hornet's power is in its mid to higher revs and well, that is quite a disadvantage of the bike compared to MT-07 and the GSX-8A (for me at least). I've also seen many people in my area go way too fast with their 650s (some even crashed, totalled their bikes) and it's so obvious why.
@@gsm_liv8980 I've been riding my cb500f for a good 5 years now, I don't know if I'd be too sad to maybe not get the full 60Nm down low from the Mt on the hornet, I think
I have the 21 model. After owning 4 CBRs and ridden many more bikes, I am completely in love with this machine.
Dude I really didn't think you'd take it onto the gravel!! Respect🤟
You must not know Zack 😂
You should check out his s1000 video, he took that thing mudding
What a mad lad, haha. He commits to the bit on a $30k bike 🤣
I cringed as if she were my own 🤣
8:30 I still find it hilarious that these liter+ superbikes can outperform most everything on the road in only first gear. Really gives perspective on just how much power is pent up in there. (as long as you aren't competing for fuel efficiency ;) )
15:00 I love seeing some of the Aprilia's that just have little fins/spikes on the back 'seat' as if to say "nah, you don't take passengers on this bike" lol
Aprilia was the first manufacturer to add winglets to a production bike 😉 (2018 Aprilia RSV4 RF LE)
It's quite a nice beginner bike as you don't even need to know how to change gear to use it daily. Nice touch from Honda.
@@22Epicit’s Japanese too
As half of my commute is at night, being able to block lights in the mirrors with your elbows makes for a safer and more comfortable ride.
99MPH in 1st gear 🤯
That’s normal to low on liter bikes. My buddies S1000RR does like 105 in first. I think pretty much every liter bike out there does 100+ in first. Hell even my “puny” Street triple 765 does 70 in first.
@@cfltitan 160kmh is quite high no? Isn't it usually 140kmh max in first for 1000cc ss-bikes?
@@Daniel-dj7fh That’s around 87mph. Every liter bike (1,000cc RR style bike) I’ve seen in the U.S. (maybe they’re geared different?) all hit high 90’s or just a bit over 100mph in first gear.
@@cfltitan I must say I haven't really cared to check on that kinda details on this level of bike output in the past years. So it has probably changed.
I might eventually take one of these for a testride on the Auotbahn or something, but I'm not gonna get myself a bike which is effectively no fun legally.
My 2004 Honda 1000RR would do 90 MPH on the speedometer in first gear. GPS said 81.
Haven't tested my GSXR1000, don't have the need. It's plenty enough.
After riding the S1000RR at VIR (my first track experience and first superbike experience - thanks to the truly outstanding California Superbike School), I quickly crossed superbikes off my list of bikes I'd prioritize buying for street use. the Beemer was similar to the Honda in that it really doesn't wake up until it gets to around 8-9000 rpm... and even in first gear that's very close to or over any legal speed limit here in NY. I just don't think I'd do well with a bike that only comes alive when I'm breaking the speed limit (well... my license certainly wouldn't do well).
Lovely bikes and it was an incredibly addictive experience to ride one at the track... but it just wouldn't work for me on the street... because of me.
lol yeah I got dinged for 70 in a 40 on an africa twin, simply passing two cars going 15mph off a light. Toooooooo easy to end up in license revocation territory.
You are wise. I agree.
that said having been on the honda and the bmw, the character of those bikes are totally different to each other, the bmw is easy to ride but kind of boring, where as the honda is painful but exciting. RRR is a giant R6
In the USA, the first thing you have to do to an S1000RR is flash away the tremendous ecu restrictions.
Agree a 100% with you and that's the reason why I bought a S1000R instead. Yes same block, but different cams, slightly different power delivery that can be used more realistically for everyday use, along with improved ergonomics
Dude is on a liter race bike with mirrors, sandwiched between steel rails and slick mud, and is turning down the traction control.
Absolute legend.
Yeah I can’t believe he rode the 1000RRR through that dirt section, too expensive to scratch its beautiful paint if he falls.
@@rogermty1971 You know, we use to ride without traction control or ABS not long ago. My 2007 CBR does not have those.
@@Ballantin Did you ever ride a $30,000 super bike through the mud on slicks?
@@derp195 Not a superbike, just my modest sports bike, CBR 600 F4i, so a lot less power. Is not the intended purpose of the bike or the tyres but no biggie, you just need to be careful :)
@@Ballantin the F4i, one of the best yet the GOAT bike for all bikers who intends to get serious into big bikes. I always loved its reliability, FI and versatility of banana seat to ferry your girl with better comfort than you can imagine. An all performer it is.
When you hear those types of Zack noises, its a serious machine. the Powerwheelie over 60mph was, like, wow.
2023, would be great to have metric weights and measures. Text on screen, maybe... Please. Love your work
I get why. They are in the description so that's something, right ;)
I always need to google on the side what xy mpg translates to l/100km, of which 240km range is not alot lmao.
There you go, Fireblade is the best daily rider in 2023. Zack confirmed it
Just ordered one.... Wanted a blade since the late 90s and this is probably my last chance to own one so even though it's totally insane for road riding I need to scratch that itch at last. Great video really enjoyed it 👍
You already got it?
Why last chance?
Finally a real riders point of view and real review of this bike!
CZcams is full of clickbait, waste of time nonsense of this bike.
Great video! 👍🏽
I know it's a bit of a joke in the comments here, but I rode a CBR1000RR to work for a decade every day. Even though I don't ride it anymore, I still think it was the perfect commuter bike for a very special set of circumstances. Those are: being in a state that allows lane splitting, heavy traffic jams and congestion, highways, as well as inner-city riding. The inline 4 is as smooth as butter, and you'll never be without engine- or braking power to get you out of sticky situations. I still recommend it for experienced riders with self-control in places like the SF Bay Area.
After owning CBR600RR/Daytona (x2)/Ducati super-sport/ZX6R & trying all blades, 1000cc super bikes since 2011; this blade (30th anniversary) over 6000rpm is on another level!! but I was prob. more impressed by CBR1000R Black edition 1/2 the price, de-tuned blade engine, pulls from 2000rpm in top gear, told faster than 2022 blade 30-80mph, better suited to road-riding. Who says in-line fours have no character!!
That first gear highway footage was hilarious! What a bike, and while I don't need that bhp and cannot justify that price it's good to know big red has produced it.
Great review - these modern sport bikes are quite insane.
You meet the nicest people on Hondas. Welcome back Zach!
Thanks for the ride!
Ducati owner for the last 30 years, and I still think the sound of an inline four at high RPM sounds more special, and much more high performance than any other configuration; and this one sounds habanero special 🙂
To me no question and I appreciate the sound of the V4 and it's growl lol.... but the I4 just screeeeeams
Tuono v4 sound is 🔥
I have both, and they are so different, but great. Only trick is to remember not to ride the duc like the 4 - it just doesn't work.....
I have a 2021 triple r with 15,000 on it. I had a 2018 cbr rr I traded in with 32,000 and I love this bike way more. 6’1” 215 pounds and it feels comfortable to me. Put about 400 miles on it every weekend. Also have the Bren tune.
Awesome review Zach 👏 be safe out there 🙏
Bro I loved this video SO MUCH. I really hope you do more
I was so nervous watching you take this beauty through the dirt path 😆
Hi Zac im one of your fans here from Australia i love what you guys do and i truly value your opinion and love the reviews you do and i been watching the channel for years and just one thing can you please show on screen how many litres in a gallon or the KW power in HP because i believe alot of your views from outside the us are asking Alexa what that converts to :)
keep up the good work guys we love it :)
Saif
Metric conversions for (almost) everything are always in the description of the video! 🙌
Love the commentary hand expressions caught by your shadow! Big fan...keep up the great work😊
Nice touch w/ the chicken wraps comparison! Great review as always...
it is inexcusable that a $29000 Sportbike doesn't have braided brake lines. I really like this bike.
braided lines on a superbike???????
@@254lele uh…. yeah man every bike should have stainless lines.
@@597Verderider oh Sorry i confuse with linked brakes...ahahha
I agree with you on the Lovers Lane comment. I do think SP should stand for 'Sans Pillion'. Some machine though and you got balls taking it down that gravel/sludge/waterlogged track.
Another great video, would absolutely love to see you on a CB1000R though
Oh my goodness, love the 1st gear freeway ride. Made me laugh out loud. Great review Zach. Thanks
So it's a stunning track day bike for the well off that is almost completely wasted on the road. Fireblade happens to be one of the best motorcycle names ever.
Beautiful new brick wall, nice choice
The on track video on IG was pretty phenomenal. It looked like a fun time, even though you said you never got higher than third on track.
Absolutely love the paint!
The sound the bike made at 9:04 when Zack shifted up from 1st to 6th quickly. Eargasm
the cut the video, because it would probably sound not so good if he jumped 5 gears.
Excellent stuff! I love the leaderboard. That will come in handy later in the year as I pick my zx10r replacement. Triumph Speed Twin 12 still at the top of my radar.
Get the speed twin 1200 I love mine!
Immediately get it flashed though (dnktuneworks). My one gripe (besides suspension) is that it has.. a powerband stock. Pin the throttle and the power finally surges on after 4500rpm. Very uncharacteristic of a twin. Flashing the ecu fixes the lean fueling and brings it back to smooth even power throughout the rev range.
@@JelloThatsMellow Question is... get the one prior to Euro 5 or the newer?
@@Dansk55 the newer. The front suspension is significantly better (they did tweak the rear a bit too), the flash fixes the eu 5 issue (and more hp!), And the brakes. Whoa the brakes. Steel braided radial mounted m50s. Amazing stuff.
The paint is boring though. I added knee pads and it looks nicer.
If you go to Dave's man cave channel, he turns his into a track weapon. Crazy the potential of this bike.
Why dumping kawasaki?
Just get an H2 and have it flashed.... enough power for all but the criminally insane, and some degree of comfort to boot.
I love seeing sportbikes on Daily Rider
Awesome bike. Great video. 🤌🏼
Would love to see your track footage here on the RevZilla youtuber channel. (yes, I know you mentioned it's on instagram, but love watching these DR's on the 80" TV instead...)
That engine feels different because it is different! Extremely special valvetrain in that. This engine has some super serious go-fast potential.
Nicely done👍🏼
22:42 that dirt road done turned into the Dakar rally after a storm. Gosh that motorcycle is quiet, i like it
I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the time to watch this video. Watching Zach ride through the mud while discussing and adjusting the traction control made it totally worth it! Very cool bike but having to exceed pretty every speed limit just to reach peak torque in first gear means it's cool but not very effective on the street. It is, as they say, what it is. On the track, with an ECU flash, I bet it's bonkers.
So Jelous of your weather right now. Living in Northern England, we rarely see skies like that, never mind at the time of year.
I love the CBR1000RRR SP, but it's a lot of money to spend on a bike just to put it in your living room and look at it. I'll stick with looking at my 2001 YZF-R1 😁
I was mountain biking in 27°+ (80's F) on Christmas day. SoCal has it's benefits 😁
Happy New Year Zee💯✨
I bought my ‘16 Honda CBR1000rr SP1 Repsol Edition new off the show room floor for about $14K. By my calculation that’s 7 years ago. It’s REALLY nice to know that same bike 7 years later has DOUBLED in purchase. Great job Honda!!!
It’s soooooo not the same moto! 😂
my CBR 650f has the same attitude with less punch of course. A power curve that just keep faster and faster, smoothly with no spikes or valleys in the power. Turns the Tach into a rage meter
CBR650F is no slouch, either. 👌
@@ammarharith5512 no she ain't, just keeps pulling and pulling and pulling. she's a little buzzy tho. first world problem
Zack didn't mention it, but did it pass the stop sign challenge? It looked like it did, impressive!
It looked like he passed it, was abit wobbly but that's understandable I'd say.
Omg, I would love to have that bike for the track! I love that Honda color scheme. It's my favorite of all time.
Great video! I'm not a street bike fan, all though I'm forever a 46 fan. Not sure how I ended up watching this video, but it was cool to come along on the southern CA streets. Recognized many of the places. Rolling Hills (my old stomping grounds), PV Drive and Lomita Blvd. Not sure I would have opted for the dirt road by the rail tracks between Lakme and S. Wilmington. I love the PV, Torrance and Carson area. A lot of good eats! Cheers, mate!
7:08 gave me a heart attack
Target fixation?
@@LaniakeaDenizen No pun intended, but looked like it.
I would love to ride one of these sometime, but no way I'd ever own one (or a supersport like it) as a street bike. There are so many other bikes that are just as fast (on the street) but insanely more comfortable and practical.
They’re not as fast, and because you haven’t owed one, you don’t know that they are in fact comfortable. The ergonomics on a Fireblade are class leading.
Nicely done with the winglets design, thanks god
Loved the chicken wing hotness analogies and rant. Really fun and well thought out. You should do the "chicken wing spicy level" in every video!
One of the few Japanese bikes I could get (after a bank robbery) and put in the garage.....just to admire.
It's beautiful! 😍
Since RC30’s are even more expensive. Right?
Dude robbery Jesus a job would work lol
@@angelteamnolimit624 robbery is a job 😉
Funny thing is - it costs about the same as a toyota carola.
@@anxiousappliance depending what corolla
Admittedly I just started watching you guys cause of the dumb and dumber ride. I loved the long way round documentary and always wanted more of that and you guys scratch that itch. Thank you
Hope you take the time to check out Zack and Ari's back catalogue of On Two Wheels episodes with Motor Trend and before that with Motorcyclist Magazine!
That’s really nicely said. So many engineers and technicians from all over the world coming together for a singular goal.
A brand new reason to love your reviews....Star Wars!!!!
Chicken wings 🤣 Daily rider just keeps getting better and better. Thanks Zach 🥳
This bike is mental! I don’t think I could even bring myself to ride it on the street 😅😂
Woot! Glad to see the first one in the books early.
I have one myself and im from europe, i can clearly see the horsepower diference from that to mine. Overall, for me, its just the perfect bike for racing... not the best for daily use!
Been some time since I rode a true sport/super bike but when I check my mirror my elbow automatically tucks in, muscle memory never forgets.
thank you for testing it in the dirt.
I love how the paint looks like the old Fireblade. Feels so good to look at. I enjoy it much more than the 2021 paint, which bothered me for some reason.
EDIT: BTW, I have a 2006 Ninja ZX-10R , so that's 10 Rs, and a 2022 GSX1300RR Hayabusa, so that's 1300 double Rs. Still not as much as 1000 triple Rs, but I'm grateful. 😁
Bought a cbr900 back in ‘94 for $6k. Things have changed a bit.
$6k was a good bit of change back then.

Just an amazingly designed superbike both in aesthetics and also performance! imo this is the BEST of all.
This motorcycle has a beautiful color scheme!
"Fireblade" definitely is one of the greatest non-cringey machine names of all time. 👍
Was this bike named by Pirates ?
Nice video ❤
Wow Zack, like the new parking lot!
Interesting to note that it's more than 30hp down on the model sold in Europe. I bet there will be some "unlocking" going on :)
This has always been a dream fo me. I love my '06 RR but this is a completely different ballgame
I 100% agree with and utilize the headlight blocking elbow technique on my little honda
It's a pirate's favorite bike.... Rrr.......
“Good thing nobody at Honda watches these videos.” 😂
First of all, THANK-YOU for pronouncing Akropovic correctly !
Second, for such an expensive high tech bike, why oh why is there no fuel gauge ?!
Lastly, you are very brave to take a bike like that on a dirt road, (with mud). I would not want to drop it, nor would I want to clean the mud off, afterwards.
Thanks for your video !
theres nothing like riding a superbike , RRR is a dream bike for sure.
Looks like there will be wheelies!
Great review! I’d love it if you took a look at the Honda cb500x as I think it could do very well
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question on why US doesn't bring base RRR and continue selling old RR! Basically, US literbike sales tanked and potential buyers are only interested in highly spec'd out WSBK equivalent models. Unfortunate, but that's the reality now.
Cool bike. Im really diggin the cb1000r black though.
I have a twenty ten which I love ,, I really get off on the colors. Silver and orange, it's awesome. 9800 miles on it. I really baby it.
Hey Zak. Love you daily ride stuff, from the UK. Is there any chance you will be daily riding the KTM SAS 2021, any time soon? Cheers pal.👍🏻
Zack that was such a fantastic chicken wing reference. Love it!
Absolute dream bike! 😍
I have owned five CBR1000RRs, a 2002 CBR954RR, 2003 RC51, 2007 CBR600RR, and two Ninjas, one R6, and one GSXR too. This 2022 RR-R bores me because it is too focused. I was present in 2020 when they unboxed one of the first RR-Rin the US at Poway Powersports. The prior CBRs were motorcycles that I did pretty much everything on: Camping, track days, canyon chasing, overnight rides, and a lot of high-speed commuting in Southern California. If I knew Honda was going the "specialized" and "focused" way of some European brands, I would have kept my 954RR, RC51, CBR600RR, and my 2018 CBR1000RR. Instead, for the first time I bought a Triumph Speed Triple. My opinion means nothing except one motorcycle sale. In 1992 I was a teenager and when I saw the CBR900RR debut I felt like I was struck by lightning and I had to have one. Where is Tadao Baba when need him most? I was pretty much poor. I had very little money, so I sacrificed and drove a jalopy to afford his engineering marvels. Actually, decades later, I still own a jalopy but I have an awesome motorcycle! Come on Honda... reincarnate the RC51 and update the CBR600RR so I can buy one or two. I hate spending money on cars.
I work nights and motorcycle commute full time, using my elbows to block the big trucks headlights is the only way to not get mad at them constantly
