      No when he said that the auto blipper is giving him an extra blip only track when turns in after braking he shows how inexperienced he is on track. I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first but then he goes on to say he can't replicate it and it only happens on track. I've only tracked my bike for a year as an amateur and I know what's happening.

    Very professional job Michael. Your comments on this bike and also on the R1 (2015) and ZX-10R (2016) are all very precise and useful for us on our everyday lives. All Superbikes lack good brakes nowadays. I personally didn't like the CBR1000RR brakes. Maybe we are getting too demanding! :-) Have fun!

    Great review. Looking forward to the next one.
    The GSX-R is one of three bikes I'm looking at as my next/new motorcycle.
    (the other two are the BMW 1000RR and the Fireblade SP)
    The GSX-R started out as a favourite, but with all of the little things you mentioned such as the brakes (which is a standard thing I do anyway as I'm quite hard on the brakes) the paint being super thin in places etc etc.
    They're not big issues by themselves, but as mentioned, on a 14k motorcycle, it shouldn't happen.
    So as much as I want to like it, it probably means the GSX-R moves to the bottom of my very short list.
    I guess that means it's between the CBR1000 and the BMW now. I just can't get over the a-symmetric looks of the BMW. I know the performance is the most important thing, but I just can't deal with it. Hopefully they'll fix it in the 2018/2019 model which (I heard) should be a big redesign of the bike.
    The bike I've unfortunately haven't seen many "big" articles and/or reviews of, is the CBR.
    I've always had a softspot for Honda, i've owned multiple and never had a problem with any of them.
    At the moment, it's on top of the list. :) (although the BMW is a close second... just fix that damned wonky face)
    Will MCN be doing a long term, or "bigger" video on the CBR?

    Nice review MN, your affection for the bike comes through, even despite a few gremlins. Could you tell us more about your choice of screen? Is it quiet? Any buffeting? Maybe more weight on your wrists? I’m trying to figure out screens and not getting very far! The new ‘blade has a tiny screen, for example...

  • @Renz_JDM
    @Renz_JDM Před 6 lety

    there's something going on with the quick shift linkage, maybe too sensitive triggering the blip but not shifting so that maybe just an adjustment issue or a replacement unit.

    of the gsxr. No top brake definitly. But a least the calipers keep dry. From of 2019 the hayes caliper's of the s1000r (and a few boxemodells) lose brakefluid. Not to mention a few other issues. So the gixxer is the more honest and value bike.
