2020 Honda Fireblade on UK roads, track & dyno | CBR1000RR-R & SP
The press launch for the 2020 Honda #CBR1000RR-R SP #Fireblade took place on the Grand Prix circuit in Qatar but what are the SP and the stock bike like on the UK roads, UK track and on the #dyno too?
Seasoned road tester and regular contributor, Adam 'Chad' Child, joins our own Web Editor, Michael Mann, swapping between both bikes on the UK's roads while 2020 British Superstock vice-champion, Tom Neave, helps out at Cadwell Park.
But what does the bike make on the dyno? The claim is 214.56bhp, can it get close?
The full and comprehensive details are within the original launch report, right here: www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial...

Sort the typo out! The max power is 199.76 BHP NOT 119.76 BHP as stated on the screen.
That was a really solid, comprehensive review.
I have to say this is one of, if not the best, reviews I've seen for this bike
S1000rr was putting 198 to the wheel 5 years ago. You can buy one for 8 grand with brembos and active suspension. It also makes big power and torque all through the Rev range
Great video. Especially the in depth analysis at the end. Good stuff. More like this please.
Great review, the best on the internet so far and awesome bike! Honda really nailed it! ❤
Great review lads, awesome format, hit the right questions with no BS
Great episode, it’s the first time I have seen a bike on a dyno
One of the very best technical reviews.
Really good in depth review!
Great job on the video! From the videography, editing, test riders and all else. Very well put together video.
Great review, thanks.
Excellent review and love this Honda my Precious will buy this soon.............
Great track bikes but absolute shite for the road, the complete opposite of all previous Blades which were legendary road bikes and flattered even a moderate riders skills, these Blades rarely get out of second on the road and are gutless below 8,000rpm. it's scandalous that a £20,000 bike (non SP) doesn't have a quickshifter/auto blipper as standard when £8 to 9,000 bikes (the KTM 790 Duke and Street Triple R) have them as standard.
Brilliant review, cheers!
Great video full of information n real world testing...hope u can do it again with r1/r1m 2020..cheers from malaysia
Had one (black sp rrr with carbon kit - yes you can get the black one as an sp) and did 500 miles on it. Rather hard on my wrists. I’m too tall for it. Also went through a recall. Great bike but the gearing is really not suitable for the road. I also bought an akraprovic can for it and it didn’t work properly as they hadn’t sorted out the servo plate properly for it at the time so it had to go back to cal sports and they luckily refunded me at the time. I wouldn’t say it was a great experience for me overall to be honest.
You guys put out some great content! Seeing a pro use the bike the way it was intended is fantastic. I really am interested in this bike, all of the flaws people mention are things I like, I like a difficult bike to ride, one that has quirks and character!
For the guys saying it's too expensive you are correct and Honda doesn't care if you don't buy them. Their money is made in the Asian market selling little commuter bikes .. Honda's sole purpose for this is too win races to increase their exposure and popularity in Asia. The western market for Honda is like 7% of total sales . It's a shame because I would love to buy it 🙁☹️
Really good review this one. Some of the other reviews (In the UK) have been a bit hit and miss but this is very comprehensive. Now it has been out nearly 2 years they've dropped in price considerably. Having always owned BMW RRs i (Gen 3 and 4) i can agree with the comments. I also feel the latest Gen 4 missing a lot of quality compared to the previous gen and its competition. Also to get it where i want on track it still needs money spent on it. Where the Honda i feel is just perfect out the box, track bike first ride bike second. I need to test one!
