2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP | First Ride Review

2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP | First Ride Review

I was lucky enough to be offered the brand new 2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R SP Fireblade for a couple of weeks to test on the road. Sadly, the weather immediately decided it didn't want to play along! But, that didn't stop me from taking this road-based racing thoroughbred for a spin on some very wet, muddy, and greasy UK roads. So join me for a little, rather restrained first ride!

Many thanks to Honda UK for making this video possible.

When I started riding, 50-60 hp was a superbike and 200hp was a blown dragbike with the manners of a hand grenade. 214 hp I cannot imagine that feeling.

I own a 2012 cbr6oorr. Amazing engine and handling abilities. Plenty for me on the streets. I couldn't possibly comprehend what that motorcycle would feel like? It's a beauty to look at...the engine..Well, there's nothing like the roar of an inline four! Honda does build quality machines. Thank you for reviewing this motorcycle

Only if Honda had added 1 more R, it'd make 20 bhp more.
Although, engine sounds smooth as F.

Great review as always 👍

[richardpearson]

Great video dan not the best weather to take out that sort of bike stay safe looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍

Amazing looks. I think being pretty tame below 6k makes it an ideal road bike. You can't ride everywhere at full power without getting banned or worse.

[firefox]

I love the fact that the bike could easily reach the speed limit on the first or second gear. Can't possibly imagine what happens on the 6th, do you hit FTL speeds and reach the Andromeda?

[creativeplanet]

really love a aggressive riding position, makes u think again on what you're getting yourself into :D, fantastic video

[daysofdan]

Looks like the fire blade might be making a come back, looks like an absolute animal

Dan: Theres a kick at 6000 rpm
Fireblade: VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO

Thanks - I really enjoyed this and your s1000rr review also. I love sportsbikes and as a naked bike rider, your reviews of these sorts of bikes are very relevant to other riders who don’t normally ride such fast and focused super bikes.

[elphabama]

Thank you for the video i am getting a 2020 SP with 4k on the clock from a Honda main dealer, i cant wait to get my new bike. At the moment i ride a 2014 L4 750 GSXR i think there will be a lot of difference between the two bikes.

Great video English biker Dan I I wn a Zx6r 2001 love it

[Fishter]

Great video! I personally feel that any 1000cc Sportsbike is too much for the road, and I own one! They encourage you to go fast everywhere and in reality the suspension and seating position isn’t ideal! I did an NC500 tour on mine and my wrists were in pain by the end whereas my mates on Tuono’s with cruise control were loving it 🤣

[jaydave]

To think this thing comes with a Akrapovic exhaust system as standard. Damn

[Mrcool]

Hey Dan. Do you think you could take a look at the Vitpilen 701/401 Svartpilen etc.? I would love to hear your opinion!

[andrewedmond]

Cool looking helmet mate. The bike? 40 years younger and it would certainly appeal to me. Good review mate, and happy new yeart to you and yours from Australia.

[VRBP]

Wha a beautiful video man, great work.

[crumblymal]

[andycrawley]
