Really enjoying the videos Andy👍🏻 I’m currently looking into the Honda myself and everytime I watch a video I’m being swayed more and more towards the CB1000R. Definitely going to do some miles around Europe when I’ve made the purchase and your vids are certainly pointing me towards touring Germany etc. Keep up the good work👍🏻😉

Very excited for you and your new bike!! Wish you many rainless, memory making, joyful miles of riding Andy👍 That is one sharp looking machine.

Hi Andy, I’m sure you’re over the moon with your choice. I must admit that Honda sorta runs under the radar for me but the CB1000 does look the gear👍🏍. One thing for certain the whistling whine of that crisp 1000 sounds awesome. Your setup does appear to be spot on for touring and adding even more motorcycle adventures to your channel. As expected you don’t disappoint, your casual commentary and musical interludes blend nicely to capture my attention and I’m sure that of your other viewers. Your editing hits a bullseye as your video flows through with your storyline very well. Obviously you’re an old hand at putting together your videos but your attention to detail makes all the difference, especially when you time your transitions with the beat of the music. 10/10👍🎥.

CB1000R: the best-looking naked there is. Inline fours are more flexible that people think. I remember the torque on my old B-King; the most tractable engine I've experienced.

Breaking in a new engine is as you say "somewhat eh whatever" Assuming its from one of the reputable brands anyway. My GSX-S 1000 was run in at the Nürburgring. And burns no oil and rides like a dream. Even after what most would consider a brutal break in. (i did emphasise smooth gear changes) but once it was warm it got to use ALL its power :)... What is more important is getting used to your ride safely, and obviously maintaining the thing!

Good stuff as per usual. 👍 I wouldn't go down the heated grip route. I've been using Gerbing heated gloves (heating elements throughout the glove not just the back of the hands) for the past 3 winters and they're sooooo much better than heated grips! Combine them with a heated shirt and you're in heaven. Why the scaffolding pannier route and not the previous SW Motech panniers with the removable support arms?

@AndyManCam

I did consider exactly that! But I've had so many times on summer rides where the temp has dropped and I could switch the grips on and continue riding without having to stop and change the gloves. Plus for me personally, I'm always trying desperately to minimise the number of devices I have to charge up every night in the hotel room!! XD

Back in the day a CB1000 had a seat height of around 790mm and fit me quite well, now I'd need a step ladder..... not sure when most bikes started to be made only for people 6' and over. I guess you could say I'm a Honda guy, but I have to say I kind of miss the FZ1..... Sounds like Honda still use the same horn as they did in the ''80's..... why do you keep catching it? Have they moved it to where the indicators should be like on some of their other models? No idea why they changed it, everyone copied Honda's layout. Great vid as always, and rain, which is always good for a laugh! You could have taken a map, that wouldn't have been 'caving in' and would have made a 'bessie' for the compass.

Thanks Martin! No surprise there, it's lovely!!

Have you thought about installing cat delete pipe? I actually did it on my 2014 CB1000R plus Yoshimura R55 exhaust, Bazzaz fuel controller and K&N air filter. After these mods I adjusted fueling on dyno. Bike now has 154hp instead of factory 125. It sounds absolutely epic and is lighter. If you do the same things on your CB the result will be fantastic. Dyno tuning completely changed my bike. Apart from gaining power throttle response improved massively and generally bike runs smoother.

I’d love to. Sounds like it would be splendid. But i can’t delete the cats in Germany as the bike would then be highly illegal! We get tested for emissions here in Germany too, so it’s an all round no go!

@@AndyManCam Yeah without cats it sounds like an F1 car really. I think we are heading the same direction and soon cats will be required on bikes as well. I am going to enjoy it until I can :)

AndyManCam I heard Switzerland banning motorcycles on certain roads. Thats pretty tragic.

It’s Austria, only a small section of Tyrol and even then only bikes with a registered standing noise level of 96dB or higher. Lots of crazy restrictions being proposed all over Europe, so even though most will fail, i think the days of loud pipes is coming to a muted end.

Hey Andy. I’ve had mine for around 18 months now. The seat is atrocious as you’ve started to discover. I’ve not touched mine yet however I noticed I was getting a very high vibration buzz at certain revs and found a product called grip puppies (Honda unofficially recommended them). They work a treat if you find similar issues. Other than that it’s a fantastic bike. Enjoy.

Hey Ross. I actually find the seat far better than the FZ1 seat (shows how bad that one was!). But yeah, it's really comfy, until suddenly it's really not! The high vibration is bothering me a little, though I'm finding that it's different, depending on which garage I filled up at and which grade of fuel I chose. I haven't been able to tie it down to which is the bikes favourite yet. I also found that it buzzed more with a Mivv end can on. It's the only niggle so far. Oh that and that the handlebars are far too narrow for me! Serious wrist pain after a longer tour!

AndyManCam I had not thought to associate it with petrol. Have used various “makes” and super to normal makes no difference. It actually was ok when running in. At about 3,400 miles now (yep taken a while) and got a little worse and more frustrating. Like you said other than that no issues and a lovely bike - oh maybe one - sun reflecting back at you from the screen but perhaps an anti glare transparent layer would sort that

Hi AMC! What kind of slip-on do you use? Do you use flash or using power commander too?

I did have a mivv mk3, but no flash OR powercommander. It was too buzzy, so I’ve gone back to stock.

Bro I have a question pleez ! It is cold here where I am (30 degrees Fahrenheit) I let my CB1000R idle outside for 30 minutes and noticed the coolant draining from 1 of the 2 little hoses by the kickstand ! It lost almost a cup of it. Is this normal ? I added an equal amount of coolant back into the reservoir but still did same thing until reservoir was 1/4 full. Bike got only 620 miles on the Odo FYI. I did the first oil change at 560 miles with Castrol Actevo 10W30 4T 4 days ago.

I’ve never noticed water leaking out of my bike, but i also don’t think I’ve ever let it ruin idle for 30 minutes! I’d say until the temp gets up to 80°C is more than enough for a warm up. But maybe something is not right if it’s constantly jettisoning water.

Hey Andy, hate to leave one of "those" questions, but are those your usual SW Motec semi rigid panniers? They look great!

@AndyManCam

4 жыл бұрын

Haha! No problem at all! No, the 'Blaze' semi rigid panniers don't have a frame for this bike. I think that due to the shorter tail, they would also stick out too far backwards and obscure the indicators. These are the 'Urban ABS' panniers on an SLC pannier rack. They're REALLY good! You can lock them to the frame from inside, and then lock the zips with the combination locks that come in the kit. So you can leave the bike for coffee breaks and no opportunist thief can have away with your stuff! More details coming in a video near you soon! ;D
