Our Review

Angular, aggressive and arguably the least conservative bike to come out of the Honda factory in a very long time, the CB1000R was one of only a handful of bikes that got me properly excited when it was launched towards the tail end of 2007. Like a wide-eyed child with a ...  Continue reading

Fantastic bike, highly recommended. Continue reading...
A very, very good package. A bike you can use for just about anything you want, track day, tour, Sunday blast or daily commute - it will take it all in its stride and will look good doing it. It is not perfect Continue reading...

I`ve had the cb1k for a year and a half now and its still fantastic. I guess its an age thing but once you get off sports bikes and on to nakeds you realise you can have as much fun without having to do warp speeds. The buz you get off the line and up to 80 is the same as a sports bike without having to go to 130 all the time which you know is gonna cost you a licence in the end. The only downside is motorways so stay off them. The nakeds are also so much easier to handle when going slow and especially if your short in the leg and trying to manouver about in a tight space simply because you have a decent amount of steering lock to use. I really cant say how good this bike is, yeah it aint cheap but you only live once and you`ve gotta spend it on something.

Dont hesitate and break away from the sportsbike mould, road test one and you will want one.

Ex gixxer 750 rider, which is a fantastic bike but i prefere the honda
