2021 Honda CB1000R Black Edition - First Ride Review - New look & Tech

The 2021 Honda CB1000R comes with a new look and some new tech too. The Black Edition steps it up further with a moody dark profile and smart detailing. The four-cylinder engine derived from the CBR1000R Fireblade unit pushes in along very nicely indeed, and there's plenty of comfort to go with the grunt.
In this video, I take a look at the cosmetic and mechanical changes, as well as offering a view of what the CB1000r is actually like to ride.

A big thanks to my channel partners for their continued support;

"I imagine that ownership of this bike is nothing but pleasurable". Great way of putting it. Between the looks, performance, and reliability I would agree

It’s about time I watched a review without falling asleep… I do like the fact you have mixed it up with voice over and live commentary, well put together vlog… and the bike well simply stunning.

Awesome review mate. Really appreciate the listing of all the specs while showing images of the bike itself, diagrams, charts etc.

This is the best review I've seen so far on this bike!

[marcusgeorge]

A great, honest review. Thank you. I enjoyed the mix of on-road blogging and commentary. 👍😎🇦🇺

[standandeliver]

As others have said, this is a really well put together video. Looks very professional and very informative without being too long and repetitive. That CB is a cracking looking bike too!

Nice review. First full review I've seen on YouTube in English. Lovely looking bike with a lovely level of fit and finish although I think it should have cruise control and an I.M.U by now, like most bikes in this price range. Ride safe and keep up the good work.

First time viewing your channel and I like how this video was put together. Thanks!

I like the moto-vlogging on test rides for the unfiltered “as-it-happened” feel and commentary.

4:31 Thank you so much you legendary YouTuber. I have been searching far and wide to get some more info on the connectivity portion of the new control unit. For some reason everyone else just glosses over this piece as if it's not a selling point by itself. Again, thank you very much for clarifying the capabilities of this new TFT display and how the smartphone app interacts with it.

I've watched dozens of reviews on this bike but from you video, I learned things I did not know before, such as the comparison between models '20/'21. Well done, I've subscribed.

Excellent review!!! Enjoyed the quick shifting phase.

Picked my black edition up 2 weeks ago. You are spot on with the all rounder experience. As a 20+ year rider of many different bikes, this is the easiest to ride and super fun when you want it to be.
Shame about the weather😢

[cccgenb]

Thanks for all the commentary, especially on the blacked out bits and rider comfort. Nice work.

[richardshippey]

[wayneeldred]

Great looking bike, and fantastic review. Like the mix of audio: considered opinion voice over along with immediate reaction ride commentary
