maybe a bit too much, 90% of the time not getting up to the 140hp range, usually reving only till about 8k revs which is around 90hp before short shifting. but agree, the 110-140hp is ample horse power for every rider

Its still a land rocket for the street.

I have the cb1000r black edition. Full SC project exhaust, remap, tune and dyno. 150hp to the wheel. Having the bike retuned and dyno'd makes the power curve consistent. It pulls so hard now. The power is unbelievable. Also, the weight reduction from replacing the exhaust has dropped 50lbs off the bike. It's a crazy ride now. It's like a super bike without the riding position.

I’ve had mine for two years and ride it almost daily. What nice about it is that I’ve used it for touring, but if you want to go mental you can as well. I also love the quick shifter.

I have a Blackbird CBR1100XX and this is what it’s like to ride one of those. Utterly amazing sense of power - but such an easy ride (I think Honda does that so well) When you want to go - you better hold on - cos she flies!

I've ridden many bikes and own a 22 Black Edition and it's spot on for all types of riding, it certainly doesn't get the credit it deserves. I should probably drop a video, since I've ridden 22,000km...that's how awesome it is!

You make a great argument for purchasing one of these! Good video:)

So Honda built the Yamaha FZ-1 twenty years after the fact. Don't get me wrong... I drive an Accord that is about to get traded-in for a Ridgeline, and in my garage, 2 Fourtrax, an old ATC 125m, and a Shadow 750 ACE. I love my Hondas, but in 2003, I bought the FZ1 (superbike chassis and brakes, motorcross riding position, 530lbs and 141 HP) and had a blast on it. The powerband was similar, too. Smooth, strong, and torquey up to 6500 rpm, and from 7000 to 11000, wicked fast bordering on terrifying! It was the 5th quickest bike available in the USA, behind the four Japanese liter superbikes. Sounds like I can ride red and get my pucker on like the old days!!! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

@@sobek I'm from the States but live in the Philippines and no complaints so far. I chose the CB650R in large part due to availability, pricing and it being an inline-4. I never got an opportunity to check out an MT07, ZX6R's and a handful of other bikes simply because they aren't available or are in such low quantities.

I loved scratching on B-roads when I test rode the CB1000R. Demonic amounts of power though, and my core was really aching after a spirited ride. Ride safe!

Sounds great.

I know the feeling man, I've had my licence for 1 year now and just got my first 1k bike. The way you descrirbed the power curves, I couldn't agree more. I've got about 700 miles with it and I've gone over 10k rpm once I think haha megashits

Would you say as a first bike this is too much. 1k is generally agreed upon as too much even for a heavier bike, but then people say it’s pretty good. Would it be better to start with something like a CB650R?

owning a 954 with about 150 hp on the wheel its too much for me to handle. It scares the dying soul out of me. 145 on this street cb is hella good enough for all rounder.

So, where can we see the bike?

I like your take on the power. I feel that it’s the most approachable liter engine. It’s scary but only if you take it to that scary point. My beginner experience level girlfriend can ride it, that’s saying something. She rides a street twin as her main bike

You’ll get used to the power delivery after some time in the saddle. These naked style bikes are extremely fast on the street and I dare say even the tracks. They’re generally manageable and easier to ride. Get what’s adjustable tuned in for yourself and learn to understand how to use the power delivery. Hondas are great bikes and it’ll treat you as well as you treat it.

Your gear shifting is really strange... Really unsmooth. Seems like you close the throttle first before pulling the clutch and shifting. It should all be done simultaneously.

The shifting is very ..... unexperienced hahah but good video! The problem with 4 cylinders on 600 is that you don't get any power before 10k rpm. 1000 cc bikes mitigate that problem! So you would not shit your pants before 10 k RPM:)

Lol… there really isn’t that many places other than A road you can open it up… you can see the front going light up in the high parts of the band. what a machine

Thought it looked familiar S.Queensferry lol

I still run the old girl, Hornet 600F 100BHP, and without going crazy, + or - 10bhp is more than enough for average rider road use. The 100BHP engine is about on the sweet spot. and on these type of roads, in this film, my 600F would right be with the CB1000R machine. but it begins to drop off about about 120mph, but on these naked machines it become not so much fun above this type of speed. but from 0 to about 60 to 80mph there not too much will get away away from it.. But the CB1000R look a great machine with all those nice modern bits on it, and looks the part. But thats my 2 cents worth..

going from a CB919 to this felt like a power downgrade because the stock tune is so conservative down low. The first 2 gears you don't have access to full throttle and I find myself slow off the line for a liter bike. Hoping an ECU unlock will free the bike up and make it feel more like a proper liter bike, great bike if you can find a good deal on it!
