I just traded my 2006 1000cc fireblade in for the 2023 1000cc RR CBR, that 05 You have there is no joke, it's a monster! Beautiful Bike.
That’s very kind, many thanks. How does the RR-R compare?
@@headrace4863 The RR-R 2023 has the same engine as the RR but is factory tuned to be faster apparently and let me tell You the RR is already too fast for me not sure who could want anything faster unless You plan on racing baghtis every day.
@@amazingvideo2869 The RR-R motor is quite different from the RR. It has the same bore and stroke as the RC213 GP bike, the changes from the RR are extensive.
This is a great video, can hear the bike perfectly and can hear you speaking too, absolutely great. I got the 2001 Fireblade, my first supersport bike and I absolutely love it, but been contemplating going up to this model.
Many thanks. More coming on the ‘blade very soon. 👍
@@headrace4863 all ready subscribed. Look forward to it.
I have such a motor. this is something beautiful. It flies perfectly
'The last model before ABS became optional" is incorrect. The 06-07 rr6/rr7 still came without ABS or traction control and no option to have it either.
Many thanks. The 06/07 are still SC57 models, with only minor bodywork etc changes, with abs optional following the model code. Yep, absolutely correct and thanks for the info, agreed. 👍
I want this bike just for that exhaust, love it!
Many thanks… yep, they’re quite rare the duel motogp arrow systems. Horrendously expensive, the previous owner really really looked after this one. It’s a bit of a find this ‘blade. More coming on this very soon. Thanks again.
Excellent thanks I will 👍🏻
Bought my first sports bike may 2023 05;RR 600 i love it
17000rpm bonkers 😅
…awesome ‘bike the 600. Most welcome back to the uk market for ‘24. Enjoy! 👍👍
I do remember seeing this for sale but as i said in the last post i have one already.. on the loud exhaust front i do have a full system on mine but do tend to ride with the bung in just to tone it down a bit, ill admit with it out it sounds savage but does have an effect on the way you ride, another point i had a go on an electric bike recently and i was genuinely concerned crossing T junctions with no noise whatsoever i really at that point felt the noise was missing, and in regard to them having too much power again i think if you take into account that we have SUVs on the road now with upwards of 500hp and EV cars we need to power where it is to keep a balance , just my opinions , you do have a great example there though .
Again, excellent points. I guess one advantage of the gp system is I could baffle one silencer and leave one a bit more vocal, bit of a compromise. I guess a point with the 500bhp SUV’s is they weight he same as the SS Great Britain, but they still shift like the proverbial, true. Thanks again for the comprehensive comment, appreciated. 👍👍
How comfortable would you say this is mate? I’m considering the gixxer 750 but I have a love for Honda. Put a lot of people say the 750 is very comfy for a sports bike so I’m in two minds atm.
@@kentucky_brew3678 good question that… I’m 6.1” and about 90kg. By about the 2 hour mark, it’s time to get off for a leg stretch. Full tank is about 130 miles range, which is just about right. Once you’re back aboard then after about an hour it’s time for a break again. 2 up, like any sports bike, it’s very cramped. 👍
an 05 rr5 1000 is the most powerful bike ive ridden so smooth if it wasnt for ulez id buy one
Are they not ulez compliant? I haven’t checked to be honest as I don’t ride in london.
@@headrace4863 I think 07 is but 06 and before definitely not.
@@sciencefact interesting… 👍
Yep, quite correct you are. Just checked. Thanks 👍👍
Get a certificate of conformity from Honda 😉🫡 these definitely meet ULEZ. They were just idiots and did it off the year & euro standard not the actual emissions
Great review and ride. Do you want to give us a heads up when you are trading this in 😂 it’s the exact model and colours I’m looking for and have been searching for one with the arrow GP exhaust 😢
Many thanks, much appreciated. Sure is a nice example, true. The Arrow system is quite a piece of engineering, and the quality is reflected in the price for them. Thanks again. 👍
Great video and a really nice bike👍. Is that an aftermarket gear indicator, what make is it?
Much appreciated, Rick. Yeah it’s a healtech gear indicator. They’re a very good aftermarket addition, perhaps not to my taste though. Glad you enjoyed the video, more coming soon.
I love my repsol RR5❤
And rightly so, stunning looking machine the repsol. Enjoy! 👍👍
What a great, well looked after example. Where did you find it?
Hi there, good to hear from you. 👍 It was located just a few miles away in Bournemouth. I was making some sneaky-beaky investigations when working on a deal with Ducati, and one thing led to another. Bit of a lucky find, wasn’t it. As you’d expect for a 14k mile Honda, it rides like it was just un-crated. 👍👍
Hi, have you tried a 2003 blade 954? I had one and loved it but not been able to get on the 1000rr under seat exhaust bike to compare.
Hi there. Yep, both 929 and 954. Probably the best balanced road/sports bike I’ve ever ridden. The RR4 onwards (like this RR5) are a very different machine and not quite as aimed at the road. If you have a 954, keep it. They’re awesome.👍
Ha, just after you said about shutting up and concentrating a bit, I knew I recognised that sweeping left off the roundabout! Do that route regularly and that one plus the one continuing the 36 are favourites of mine :D In fact, this video was posted about the same time I got my 06, bloody cracking bike. Curious, where do you take it to the track? Have yet to see what's actually local and beginner-friendly.
Yep, nice bit of road that one isn’t it. lol. Usually brands, Silverstone or Donnington.
Hi! What is the name of the bike color?! Could you tell me the full name? Thanks a lot!
Colour code is R258H, some refer to it has the HRC colours 👍
Am I tripping or do you have 2 exhaust setups 😂
Gp replica system… 4 into 2 titanium Arrow system. 👍
You dont need any of those electronics when u ride so slow lol
…fair comment. 👍 I save the quicker stuff for track days.
