Things you MUST know before buying a Honda CBR1000RR (Fireblade) 

Aloha everyone! Let me know if you have anything to add or something I might have not mentioned in the video. I hope this inspires new and old riders to get one of the best 1000cc motorcycle on the market, the amazing Honda CBR1000RR (Fireblade)! :)

I just bought an 06 with the same fairings as you, I absolutely LOVE it. I'm glad to see all the good words from you

I thought the sun was better behind you actually lol. Also it's cool with your shadow in the pic when you're doing a walk around like this. You can use your shadow as a presenter 🥳 great vid, thanks for the tips 👍🏻

I have the 2005 of this bike in black and silver. Ive had it for about 12 or 13 years. I love it and likely will keep it forever. Told my kids I want another set of plastics for Christmas and IM thinking either this blue and yellow or red, white and blue. Your bike looks pretty sweet. Good job.

Fantastic review and the bike looks amazing ! Just bought a 2009 model HRC colours 10,000 miles. I hope you still have it. I had new tyres and big service.

That's absolutely beautiful!! Amazing!! Good call on the yellow wheels

Seen you comment in a few videos finally checked out your channel, very nice man

Still my favorite CBR colors! The 2006-07 versions were the Best!

Today I bought this same year. 2006 1000RR with 4K miles. I’m stoked because I’m coming from the same year but a 600rr. Loved it. I’m stoked I got my hands on MINT favorite year of cbr for me in a 1000RR version 😅

Buying my 07 CBR1000rr next week. Havent ridden in nearly a year and a half, but ive been wanting a fireblade for so long. Finally making one of my dreams come true.

Use mine as track bike and on the road ...got a hindle and sounds amazing as well.. loving it

Almost got that one, but I purchased a 08cbr1000rr, black silver with 4000 miles. Love it. Love the color.

Absolute BEAUTIFUL bike!

Aloha my friend ur video is great and has helped me with my bike I have the same plastics as u also lol

86,000km on my 06 now, HESD works great. Maintenance is very minimal. All the new electronics new bikes have can be added to the 06 and 07 (e.g wheelie control, traction control, quick shift up\down, push button gear change and so on).

I have a 06 blade 7000mls on clock 1owner bike it's standard I'm happy with it not gonna change anything stock is perfect for me. Mine in black. Yours is very nice .be safe m8.

I’m subscribed. ❤❤❤❤. Why??? Honda fire blade. Cool bike. Never had a Honda.

What a beautiful paint job/scheme just beautiful

I have a 05 cbr 1000rr myself, I love it 🤙🏾👊🏾👌🏾

Nice review

Just bought my 06 1000rr. I had an 07 600rr and I loved that bike but I love this one even more! Such an amazing bike.

Good video, thank you. I got an 08RR and my friend is looking for a sports bike, I told him to get one of them and not even think twice. I think it’s a very well balanced bike and it fits me like a glove. I am just madly in love in riding my CBR, ever time I get on it it’s so much thrill and excitement .... love it !!! I also have a 2019 FatBoy which is a very good looking bike IMO but I feel more comfortable on my CBR.... love them both, it’s such an addiction . Safe riding, and less encounters with the cops!!!

Picking up my CBR 1000 "double R" tomorrow can't wait

hey, nice bumping in here, I had this same 2007 Honda and same 2006 for parts and a 2010 S1000RR and 2009R1, had issues with my S1000RR sold the R1 and 2007 CBr and bought a 2011 S1000RR but kinda missing my 2007 Honda so trying build the 2006 Fireblade back

thats a beautiful old bike mate. Keep riding bro

I got my 2006 CBR 1000RR out of the box, as they hadn't had a chance to put it together to put on the floor yet. When I went in to the shop, which by the way was in Honolulu, I was getting something for my RC51. Then, the row of this bike caught my eye, and I was blown away. Anyone looking to get one of these should try for the 2006-07 rather than the '04-'05, as I wouldn't have grabbed the '06 if it was still the '04-'05 model. IMO, this is still the best CBR they've made, though the '21 SP1 looks like they may have finally topped it. This bike is only 388 lbs dry and can be thrown around in curves like it's a little 600. I had a choice of all the color schemes for this bike and almost got the (LA Rams) color scheme, but the black and red just looked mean, so I grabbed it despite having to wait a few days for them to take it out of the box. The bike is bullet proof, as it has had to sit twice for 2 years or longer, and had no problems starting right back up and ready to go with only a change of battery after a 3.5 year rest, and a change of fluids both times. This is the closest thing to the best bike ever, which was the RC 211V, but they stopped making it in '08, because the Moto GP bikes went down to 800cc, so Honda stopped making their best CBR and moved the exhaust from undertail to bottom right side, and the undertail exhaust is one of my favorite things about this bike. I also have a PC3 with Sato Racing exhaust on it, before they stopped making exhaust, which sucked, as theirs was amazing for this CBR. I took the Electronic dampner off, as people were having problems with it getting too tight at high speeds on the track, so I put a regular Ohlins dampner on mine, and there are a few other small mods, but not much as not much was needed for this beauty. Sorry for the long response, but I just recently got mine back and was happy to come across this video. I noticed you got rid of yours, which I'm surprised you did. Someone will really be enjoying that bike though. Peace and safe travels!

You are right! Honda engines are built to last. The sound of the engine heard from the rider seat ( not the exhaust note) says the refinement. That’s a nice piece you’ve got there.

I do have a 2018 cbr 1000rr But I bought a 2005 and I’m loving it It’s a raw bike no electric helps but it’s good with fuel and good for long distance ride, u can fell more comfortable than other bike especial when we talk about Suzuki

Beautiful! 😘 Best regards, Sweden. 🇸🇪

Nice Honda Wolverine RR🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿 Can't wait to ride my 07 Repsol.

Started riding a year ago on a CBR919RR. Still alive and love my bike

Now i want that even more😍

Love that bike got mine chromed out with chrome aftermarket wheels

Great video! Picking up my 04 fireblade tomorrow, im so excited!

good video just found it. yes im a few years late to the game. I love your shadow in this - you look about 14 foot tall.

I have a 2006 as well (red with black). Anyways you were talking about the color just wanted to point out the song Used - Blue and Yellow for yours 😀

all bikes I've owned were just an engine on a frame. none had abs, trac control, anything. I love knowing that no electronics are getting in your way and it's just you and the bike.

My 2006 was stolen two years ago. I put almost 30k miles on it prior to that and never had a single problem from it. I miss that bike everyday.

I got a 2006cbr rr1000 and it is a demon when u twist that thradol she's a beast

Purdy good video.

I just bought the same bike! Same color scheme. Got an awesome deal. Only has 13k on it

Big tip.. Never rev the bollocks out Of your bike till the oil has hit the cams...let it tic over A bit.

Beautiful bike man

The Honda CBR 1000RR SP is the Fireblade. The SP means there have been around $3400 in upgrades done to the bike. I own a 2015 Fireblade!

Omg that exhaust made me crack up like a little boy 😂

Got a 07 fireblade and its be best bike I’ve ever had never selling it 😎🤙🏾

Do u have to really yank it to lift the front wheel? Thats my only concern coming from 600

I love my Repsol 2005 and 2007, The 2007 Repsol , I covered 30,000km in Australia continent without any problem , My 2005 Repsol ,I covered nearly 76,000km till now in Singapore and Malaysia, Love the Repsol Honda , Looking forward to get the Triple R, Cheers

Not me watching this while sitting next to my new 1000 in the garage.

I bought an ‘05 1000rr w/55,000k on it for 3k… it blew up 20k later and I’m currently rebuilding it now.

That Bike is So Clean.

I just got a CBR1000RR 1 owner immaculate 2006 love the bike so nice not to have all the electronics just a RAW bike.

Love my '06! Maintenance is simple compared to the old 4 carb bikes. Mine is Silver and Gray, same graphics. Have Power Commander and Jardine exhaust. The ride position is aggressive. I am 5'-7", 32" inseam and can flat foot one foot at a time. It is a blast to ride even for a 64 year old rider. In cold weather, coming down from high RPMs it sounds like a freakin machine gun! Does yours do that?

I am almost done with my 2004. I do everything by my self so it takes time, but I enjoy 😊 . It’s flat black with gold stickers..Before this one I had a old Ninja 600cc from 98..The Cbr is a real smooth ride. I just love it 😍 Ride save everybody.. Have a nice summer 🤘😬

I just got one after I trade my trans am it is a 2006 and I’m scared shitless to ride it so far I’ve only managed to turn it on and wow over the noise but no go yet for me nuts still in stomach from rpm noise

I just bought my 2008 3 days ago!!

I have a 2005 Honda CBR1000RR Repsol. Only got 2k original miles. Why so low? Life happened. I have a short vid of it on my channel taken years ago. I've always been a CBR fanboy for years. Had several other bikes for years, bought and sold all of 'em, but stayed true with this bad boy. Hey, whatever floats your boat,right? 😀 😁 😂Nice ride man..

I love that the cbr has the cassette style transmission.

Not quite sure if that electronic steering stabilizer really does anything? Have you ever had any indication of the death wobble on your honda? Neither have I!!!!

Hello sir , I have also a cbr 1000rr I have a problem with it when im driving for an example trafficl ligt the engine fals of When I’m in neutral and i want it to gear it also fals off Do you know maybe what this could be? Thank you

Getting a 2008 CBR1000RR with 1800 miles for 5 grand

No really need to sort valves until the bike starts showing signs that they need attention ....I asked 2 mechanics ..should I clear or shim the valves ....both said not until there's indication they need maintenance....

WOW, what a nice looking bike.

I absolutely love my 2005 repsol

The best looking cbr ever

You're lucky to have that color scheme. You should get the Wolverine helmet also. :D

i just got the same bike with 7000 miles, in 2021 WHAT!!!!!!!! BRO this bike is amazing!

Nice bike 😍

Av got 05 repsol 9500 miles on it looks quality good runner also

I have exactly the same bike, bought it last year (Australian)...43,000 KMs same colours 👍... Had a few flaws example I had to change the stator over myself using a Haynes workshop manual and a few RU-vid videos God bless people who post Vids 👍 then the bottom end bearings and crankshaft siezed GJ previous owner not looking after it I'm guessing... Instead of getting rid of it I decided to pay 9 1/2 thousand dollars Australian to get a full bottom end rebuild at the local Honda shop, lots of people said why not a new bike... Because I like this model and I like the old school without all the fancy electronics... Now I have a 2006 CBR 1000 bulletproof beast...omfg yeah baby !!!... No disrespect to anyone else who has any other model or make of bike but I can honestly say this thing Is worth every penny I spent and would recommend to anyone spending a few dollars if you like the bike rather than replacing with a new one if you really want something old school and meaningful.

Just bought 2005 model with 1200 + miles on clock. Not even rode it yet lol - any advise?

I got an 07 cbr1000rr in Aug 2018. Only had 3,400 miles on it.

Got 1000 RR4 with 110k miles currently. (700 miles a week to work) It is a good motorcycle.

Iv'e had my 2007 for 3 years now It's white and red and the rims are powder coated white frame and swingarm are black. I haven't been convinced of any good reason to update yet . from 2008 they just went all ugly in the fairings.

Haole on Oahu that rides a CBR… what branch of service you in??

Just started to learn how to wheelie my 05 a month ago thing is a beast 🤩

Do you have a power commander? I bought the RS5 yoshi and like you I am doing everything to it. Full yoshi, new tires, chain and sprocket set, intergraded tail light, and cell holder just as you have it. How did your upgrades hold up, cellholder works ?

I’m getting a used 2012 cbr1000rr in a few months so it should be awesome

F4i or 1000RR for the sundays rides??? This 1000 is very heavy compared whit 954 or next 1000 (year 2008...) ??? O think the 2006/2007 are the best package...price good. I have the 600RR 2007, and the bike Very much lighter and fast...the engine revs so good...like infinity 😁 But the 100 have a punch, push and go....

Hi, Sorry to Bother you... I'm thinking about getting a CBR1000RR.. So which Years would be Great to Look at...

Or just take someone with you who knows a thing or two about bikes, like i did ;). I bought mine this afternoon, and as soon as i know how to change the various fluids i will change them all. I always do the same when i buy a new car, change out every fluid you can change.

Idk how many times he said double r…. Raw… and a few things you should know. Should do a counter

Hey are you still here in Oahu because I am as well? I just recently got this bike and def would like to learn more about the bike in general.

Brother, by chance where did you get the license plate mount? Thank you

I love my cbr-doble-rr 😎

Hey where do i buy valve change adjustments?

hi did you change the vales ore did you adjust them ?

Beauty 😍

It's the best made bike youll ever own, keep up with Services and it'll last forever, but the best CBR to own is the cbr954rr, or for touring cbr1100xx

Fireblade refers to the RR-R model. Not the base cbr1000rr

Cant find a 07 for nothing i currently have an 01 f4i and i love it

i checked my valves at 30k and they were in spec put it back together so it cost me $0

How much adjustment did the valves need?

The 07 has a black swingarm.

I love my 2006 cbr 1000rr still fast enough for me 😂👏🏻👏🏻👍

Did you use to upload on live video.com?

I just got my 07 cbr1000 for 2800 bucks with 19k on the clock last week! Just needs brake pads tires and new chain and sprockets ! Got all winter to mess with it. I'm a long time yamaha enthusiast but I'm excited to see what this cbr has to offer !

I always love the honda inline 4 sounds compared to other brands

Went for blacked out theme. Has bright yellow blue bike

How does it compare against the s1000rr?
