OK OK, before the spec sticklers come for me... it's 201KG wet, not 101KG. Sometimes my factually correct research comes out of my mouth factually incorrect 😂 but yes, honda haven't developed any ground breaking weight saving tech to this level 🤣

That lap looked scary from my sofa, Christ knows what it was like on the back. I was amazed how close to the track the mirrors were getting on the corners. You did well to hold it together. Great day out.

'Kin hell crocodile. Pissed my pants at your "buy me a drink first John" comment. Only Mike should hear those noises from your pillion section. Awesome video Kate.

Genuinely emotional & pleased for you when watching this. Honda fan here & also have huge respect for John McGuinnes. You hopefully put a few ghosts to bed too....Next level - well done👍😎

I’m howling at the ‘quacks’ Kate 😂

Can’t stop laughing my head off. Your reactions to the sheer adrenaline rush are priceless. Fantastic video, well done you are very courageous indeed.

That pillion lap was the best footage ive seen in a long time..thank you for the laughs 😂

What an amazing day. JM was the cherry on the icing of the cake.

John is one of the most chilled out guys these pro racers aren't wired like the rest of us, well deserved Kate, you say your lucky but you make your own luck too 😆

Screaming yelling laughing with you I was great video, guts you got girl loved the ride along 😊

That has made my evening, proper funny, the look on McGuiness face as you pulled in the pits 😂😂😂 he knew.

Kudos to you Kate , "Buy me a drink first John"!!!!!! LOL

That pillion lap with McPint had me laughing SO HARD! Absolutely loved it!

That pillion ride was so funny, buy me a drink first😂😂😂

I met John the other week at the TT launch, great bloke and very generous with his time, although I'm not sure if I'd of climbed on the back of him

Love your track days, Kate. You really enjoyed yourself. Your smooth and confident. And a sweetheart.

😂 The pillion lap was amazing 🤣 280 km/h as a pillion! My god well done lass!

There you go again-living life to the full, getting experiences and creating memories that will last forever and nailing it. There's an old saying-"The older I get, the faster I was." I was never Kate fast and I'm happy to get my adrenalin fixes through your exploits. Bravo!

Glad it made your day a bit better! :)

That's fantastic having a pro rider leading you around the track, showing you the best lines. Must have felt amazing.

Kate I'm so happy for you. I really enjoyed watching you go around after a long ride. You made my day. Thank you.

Great video Kate, this was a fun one to watch. I just picked up the 2023 30th Anniversary Fireblade and what an incredible bike! I would have waited for the 2024 but I had to have that 30th anniversary livery.

Absolutely awesome! My favourite bit was the amount of "quacks" you got through! 😂😂

What a cracking video Kate, the build up laps at the start were great, learn the bike and the track before a full on hoon is always good advice. You rode really well. The pillion lap was a laugh out loud piece, your 'duck quack' vocabulary at certain 'moments' was inspired. I can't ride now but the closest I've come to this bike was a 2006 GSXR1000K6, the last of the long stroke Suzuki bikes with zero riding modes ABS, traction control or anything. That kicked out ~170 brake if I recall correctly and it was brutal. The engine was a work of art and the chassis was the best that I experienced ever. Handling was like you just thought it through the twisties and it just did it. You had to treat that bike with huge respect though as I imagine it could easily get you into a lot of trouble on the roads. I sold it because it was too addictive to go fast on the public highway. Many thanks for sharing. I love the content.

Awesome video! Wow! That looked like fun. Way better than any roller coaster ride. What a great experience for you. Best!

That I think was my favourite episode. Thoughly entertaining and John was a total star. Talk about heart in the mouth stuff .You really do have the best job in the world kate. 😊

Love that! "Wow, the Ginnster!" What a day indeed, that man is a bona fide legend.

22:40 _"Buy me a drink first!"_ 🤣

Not sure that I’ve enjoyed anything on KZread as much as this, and I watch a LOT of KZread. Just brilliant Kate, you’re such a natural in front of the camera. This should be on TV and I bet before much longer you will be.

You got some balls to get on the back of the master!! Respect 👍

Brilliant, what an experience! 👌

You just made my dream come true. I was leaning into my phone as if I was there. Hats off to JM! The wyley veteran.Well done!!

you are incredible. be always good, and always do what you love.

Just amazing.... I couldn't put that kind of money on the track.

Absolutely ''quacking'' amazing pillion footage. How you didn't ''quacking'' fall off, I do not know. ''Quack'' me, you were mega-brave, and John McGuiness, what a ''quacking'' legend. And the line...... ''John, buy me a drink first.......'' I almost ''quacked'' myself laughing....

So much fun to se you on track like this Kate, can se and hear your enthusiasm and the joy you have doing it! Keep up the great work! 🙂

270kph…good work! You could watch your confidence grow in real time. What a cool experience. That thing sounds amazing with those new throttle bodies.

Love it, fair play being Pilly with McPint, that is superbly brave 😂👏🏻👏🏻 so was the duck 🦆

Watching John pull it up at about 140 mph set me to giggling. He was no doubt smiling all the way

I would never get on the back of that bike, you're very courageous .

Always loved the CBR1000RR, one of my dream bikes since the beginning! Can't wait to get my hands on one. Great review, you killed it!

Awesome bike and vid - and you did so well on the track! McGuinness is a genuine legend - I expect you'll remember those laps forever.

Absolutely amazing... listening to you on pillion with John i was crying laughing 😅😂 x

Never heard so many duck quacks in one of your vids ! Brilliant!

That was hilarious 😅 What an experience. That carbon model is gorgeous imo ❤ 🏍️💨

The pillion lap had me laughing so much 😂😂😂😂 You’re wonderful Kate, never change.

Jeez what a pillion ride, your brave Kate ,and your laps where impressive, well done🙏❤️🇸🇪🏍👍

👍🏻 was für ein crazy Tag mit der Blade und John 👍🏻 ich freue mich für dich das Du solche Chance bekommen hast, einfach klasse. Danke für das Video 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️

That was infectious you have a very expressive turn of phrase no nonsense northern lass great.

Absolutely love watching you throw the CBR around the track 👍👍 And the lap with John so brilliant and funny you should have left the swearing in 😂. Was that your dad with you he was loving it. But I bet he was clad when you finally got off. Excellent video loved it Kate 👍👍👍

That was a lot of fun to watch.

Respect.. you had it up to 170mph! Fastest lass I know of!

That little chase and writing lesson will make you faster, From here on out... You're a speed demon 😈

Kate, this bike looks indeed super fast. The noise sounds deafening but the speed looks freakin' cool! You really rock this superbike girl! I have rode motorcycles in the past, but looking to get on again...this time as a woman since I am transitioning. This video was fantastic! You really made this bike really cool for the track and your riding suit is a perfect match for the bike. Lovely work on the video! ❤‍🔥♥🏍

I suspect that is the lowest you've entered a corner Kate, great fun to watch, loved it. I also strongly suspect now that Yamaha and Suzuki have pulled out of the big numbers bikes that Honda will sell a lot of them 1000cc Fireblades. It'll be like the nineties again, Fireblades everywhere

Great riding Kate, enjoyed your happiness, best track day video ever

Wow Kate, you got to 169 mph down that finishing straight, and to not only get to pursue John McGuiness on a racing track, but then ride pillion with him must be a dream and a privilege - You must be thinking am I in a parallel universe?

Great review Kate. Also McPint nipping in front and giving you a guided tour of the lines to take was amazing. Cannot wait for the TT again this year

Amazing, makes you realise just how very talented the professionals are. Having said that, I thought your lap was very impressive…

Bloody hell Kate quack quack 😂, absolutely awesome 😎, bet you loved it 😁😂

Firstly, well done Kate for handling 215 bhp on track, what a truly awesome bike, I think the track is most definitely the place to use that power, and remain reasonably safe, if you know what I mean. Being a Honda it will be ultra reliable and no doubt you can pootle around town on one, but on our roads you would really have to use lots of self control or end up either without a License or dead. What a weapon though. Thank you.

Love the onboard lap ! 😂😂 looks like you had a blast - love the blade too

Holy macaroni! That's a lot of "quacks" (for obvious reasons) and I almost expected John McG to scrape the mirrors in a few of those bends. I'm seriously impressed!! Your riding was awesome too, and I can easily see how you got thumbs-ups and claps.

WOW now that's BAD ASS Kate, what an experience so cool.

That thing is a track weapon.

What a great video, pair of legends right there

You lucky girl riding with a legend! Thanks for taking us along with you, greatly appreciate sharing the experience with you Kate 👍 ps can you get a one piece with a nappy lol 😂 coz I want one….

Just how many ‘quacks’…. You had me LOL. Terrific pillion laps. You’re a brave soul for good VT, Kate! Keep the good content coming - informative, light, fun; just what we all enjoy.

What amazing riding so jealous that you had that wild fun!! Thank you for sharing this incredible experience!! 👏👏🙌🙌

A ride on a bike one isn't expecting was a bonus for Kate. Guess indicated was in KM ... more fun to hear the un edited exclamations of Kate. Thou the Quacks were entertaining also. JM should have a grab handle belt for pillion riders.

You handled that machine very well!

Dream bike excellent video wished I was that lucky

What a great video , you on the back of John wow , I bet that was an experience. Well done 😁 the best bike you tube vid I've seen. You're a brave lass 👍

Greetings from Australia. A great video Kate. I'm an ex Fireblade owner. Love this new one it looks and sounds so amazing! Lol I would have needed a few stiff drinks to hop on the back with JM! U have more courage than me for sure 😊. Love all the clips, very good for us average riders out there

Very cool, Kate. Your riding is very smooth. I like that !

You made me laugh absolutely brilliant

Great laps of your own. Also, John casually riding faster with a pillion than I do solo!

That pillion lap was amazing, made me 😂 out loud. Great review and great riding. Loved it 🤘

Great bike, sounds fantastic. My last blade 2017 that was good. The ducks have followed from Sardinia 😊
