With the ecu unlocked the CBR will be a maniac unleashed, I recon.

The CBR makes similar peak power but needs to be kept on the boil to be real fast as the power band is R6-like in nature, almost 2 stroke like, goes from nothing to insanity... 214 hp is nothing to sneeze at for sure, and the weight difference between the 2 is a few lbs… I know top end high speed drag races the CBR is a bit faster, and on the track it’s also quite a bit faster… that probably has more to do with gearing though, that’s both bikes being unlocked…

@@jake88ciI believe that issue has been resolved now. It was a really hard ecu to crack. The fireblade is definitely faster but it’s so hard to beat that Moto gp aprilia sound. Since I ride more on highway and interstate roads, the fireblade would probably be more suited for me as I could open it up.

Great review again Chops 😊👍.l must admit that I personally think that is probably the best looking blade that Honda has made for a while. The Aprillia is still a work of art though.

Love these reviews - best bike reviews on the net! Amazing!

You two work well together. Enjoy this format of video guys. Lovely job 👍

The double act on this type of review is spot on Chops! Great work on the channel as usual. I think the new Honda is absolutely mint looking and the sound is truly awesome. Totally nuts! The quality is evident everywhere you look on it.Though, I'm an RSV fan and that bike is simply awesome. The soundtrack from the RSV is there right from tickover. And it's got more go lower down. Both great bikes and I'd be happy as Larry with either of them.

You hit the nail on the head when you said about the blades flatness in low revs being great in town to keep speed down. I’m pretty sure that Honda thought about this and noticed it themselves (who develops a bike as well as Honda?!! ) If are out on the fast roads going for it , you keep it in the revs!!! Simple. I would see it as a bonus.

Really like this friend of yours!! Excellent points he makes. You guys did excellent!!! Very entertaining!! Love the Japanese Pagoda!!

Really like the double act, two mates talking bikes - slightly different views which builds a better picture of the bikes. For me though as the handling on the top bikes is way better than you can use on the road, it comes down to power usability, sound, some comfort and then looks - in that order, the Aprilia with it's midrange and perfect sound would get my money. To put this into perspective though, in the latter half of 2006 we were selling the fabulous GSXR1000K6 for 6k on the road !!!!!!!

Good review. Nice to see something different from the usual magazines 44t etc. Not that they’re bad but great to see a ‘normal’ review too. Bikes are all gone expensive though so value is relative. I suppose you can start comparing by how much they cost on pcp coz that’s what’s driven the price up and that’s how most bikes will be bought now so people don’t really care about the final price. Cars went the same way didn’t they

I remember not that long ago Kawasaki getting a hard time on most tests for the 10R needing revs and having long gearing. Looks like Honda have pulled the same trick but most people don't seem to be giving it the hard time for some reason. Good to see you guys kept it honest. I get why they do it - if you want a track gearbox you want a long first and very close ratio's after that then they just up the final with sprockets to make it a road bike. I find it really irritating on a road though. Just as you come out of a corner at a lowish speed and want it to just grunt it won't and you sit there with grip to spare waiting for it to wake up. Then by the time it does wake up you're back in a corner and so it goes on. Fun road bikes don't benefit from that kind of gearing optimisation so Honda saying its a track bike is either fair enough or a cop out depending on how you see it. Personally I hated it when 600's turned into rev boxes but thats worse on a thou.

Did they change the rake angle for the front end on the Honda between the sc77 and current sc82 models?

I think the question is wether you can live with the characteristics of the Blade. It sounds like too much of a compromise for a road bike. I do think the new Blade is more desirable but if I was shopping I’d buy a pre reg/demo RSV4, have a bit more comfort and that soundtrack. Maybe the Honda would help me keep the licence a bit longer.. 🤷‍♂️ Both are stunning.. ❤️

Is there an aftermarket fix for the blade to stop the indicators being permanently on?

Cruise control on ANY road bike is always great… nice to see a manufacturer like Aprilia realize this fact so effectively

I'm sad that you sold your GSXR1000R cause I would love to see all the "big buck" bikes being compared to an average Jo affordable pride and joy with some add ons!! And Your GSXR1000R was a perfect example what one should spend the save money over the newest and greatest (but very expensive) new line of Superbikes!

My RSV4 1100 Factory 2020 is more better than CBR 2020 because their 4 cylinders in line is MORE linearry but when Honda will be a V4 !!?! The architectur’motors is this with more fun on road ! Nobody can say the opposite ! Good job for video guys ! See from France 🇫🇷✌🏼

Great review,but,how much of the electronics working smoother down low had something to do with the lack of power being applied,personally I want a bike on the street to accelerate down low for safety reasons,help keep getting driven over from behind.I test road theRSV4 again kept it for 6 hours,I’m down 30lbs from first test ride but feel like I need another 30-40lbs to be all day comfortable on it.That would bring me to 260-270lbs which is really lean for my body mass at 6’6” but at $18,499 in the states for that bike is hard to pass up.🏍💯👍🍻.

Visually the Blade looks better IMO, the RSV paint job doesn't do it justice. Having had a Blade in the 90s I'd probably choose that over the Aprilla because you can ride it sensibly and of course the reliability reputation of the Honda when you're spending that much money has to figure in there somewhere? Nice one chopsey I enjoyed that even though in reality I'll never have either 👍

I think the fire blade sounds really good just different from the Italians

I have the impression that both of your hearts lean toward the Honda !!!

Did u try keeping it in 1st instead, for regular street riding.

Wow, Chopsy goes Fireblade 😎finally! Good choice sir, it does look and sound quality. I do wonder how the professional race teams get them off the line quickly at the start of a race due to their lack of low down grunt? The RSV4 left the blade for dead on your roll on tests. Flat, flat flat 😉. Oh! And I still want a LCR tee shirt with that on by the way😁

What riding modes does the blade have

Can’t believe the difference in both on the runs 👀

The Blade is over the top on pricing and for performance Honda always seem to leave something on the table but Honda has always been soft on performance across the brand JMO , I guess it’s called warranty protection
