Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB 1000 R 2021

The 1-litre version of the Neo Sport Cafe Racer shows that it doesn't always have to be the golden mean. In all honesty, it has to be said that the largest of all the representatives also feels the most "grown-up". The electronic equipment of the 1000 in the + version leaves almost nothing to be desired and the handling is extremely rider-friendly for this class. Playfully easy cornering with a well-tuned chassis, snappy brakes and low weight seem to be the recipe for success in terms of smoothness. In terms of performance, the CB1000R+ unfortunately has to make concessions. With 145 hp, the Honda is not a brute rocket, but it is all the more controllable for it. And 145 hp with a full tank of 213 kg is more than enough for maximum riding pleasure on country roads!

Flawless responsiveness of the power unit

Honda-typical extremely rideable 1000

Good electronics package (ABS, traction control, riding modes..)

Smooth and precise gearbox

Excellent functioning quickshifter

Black/white LCD not quite up to date and not ideally readable in direct sunlight

tall pilots may have space problems with their knees at the tank

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP 2017

Honda has achieved a real feat with the Fireblade. A good motorbike has become better without sacrificing the popular virtues. The bike shines with perfection in terms of chassis setup and overall package. The Fireblade SP is a worthy upgrade to an already fantastic motorbike. The titanium tank makes it clear how serious Honda was. The Öhlins electronic suspension is of high quality and inspires with a radically refreshing new approach. Suspension set-up no longer has to be a compromise.

light-footed handling

strong in alternating curves

wonderful electronics package

sleek look and feel

powerful engine

currently the best electronic chassis on the market

great shift assistant

Response a little rough at the very start of the throttle grip
