CBR 1000 vs FZ1.

How in the heck did the FZ guy do a hand gesture to start and still got the jump. He said "GO" and was able to pull his hand back on the bar and get the punch first? Talk about a sleeper.

Heck the camera guy go no credit at all for not losing them.
 
I think the rider on the Repsol just sucks period because with like riders, I would find it hard to believe the FZ1 will pull away like that.

Let's see this with two riders with the same skills.
 
It's an FZ1 forum, anything FZ1 positive will happen, then reality struck!! It ain't happening :shaking head: unless the CBR rider, sucks like me.

I don't think that skills are really involved since both guys are already rolling. They downshift and they go. Nothing to complicated there.
 
My previous bike was a Honda cbr1000RR repsol(the same as in the vid.) Now i have a fz1 . And i can tel for sure that this is fake. No way the fz1 wil win from the Honda cbr1000RR .
 
I had an 04 CBR 1000 and if the CBR in the Video is stock, and the FZ1 is down a tooth on the front sprocket like the video says then I can believe it. My CBR only put out 149 hp stock and wasn't all that strong for a 1000 in the mid range. The shorter gearing on an FZ1 with a slip on will make enough of a difference for it to pull away slightly. Keep in mind that the 06-07 CBR's were geared shorter from the factory and had more of a hit in the midrange than the 04-05 CBR's, so for those years CBR's the story would be different.

My cbr was a 05. But a also changed the gearing. That wil be the reason it was quicker than the fz1 witch a have now. But on my fz one the sprockets wil be chanched to a 16 front and 47 rear. Maybe that make a difference.
 
The video is stupid and unrealistic. I had a 08 CBR1000RR and it would smoke my 09 FZ1. I don’t care what gearing you have. Mathematics is mathematics. Horsepower per pound is what it is. I would put my son on the FZ1 (son weighs less) and still smoke him on the CBR….doing a wheelie. The guy in the video riding the CBR is clearly a f-f-f…., uh…., of the alternate lifestyle persuasion. :wtf:
 
You are referring to an 08 CBR 1000, not the 04-05 CBR that was in the Video. Your CBR is very mid range strong, quite a bit stronger than the 04-05 CBR as seen in the video. A properly tuned FZ1 can pull anywhere from 140 to 150 hp, right where a stock 04-05 CBR 1000 is. If the gearing is changed on the FZ1 and not the CBR it is easy to see how the FZ1 can pull away slightly. BTW, the FZ1 in the video pulled ahead slightly, he didn't crush the CBR.

Does your mommy know she raised a baby!:smoking:
 
Fz1 is a great ligth burner!!

Hi guys!
1) this is a Fz1 furum(the forum!!)so I dont understand who prefer see Fz1 makes bad performances...(??)
2) my Fz1:2 teeth crown less;rapid rike3;air filter bmc;leo vince terminal exhaust;quickshift;NGK iridium:nothing else to exalt performances. I've a friend with a 2007 R1 santander l.e.:akrapovich terminal exhaust and bmc air filter. Every times that we try a start from a red trafficlight(start at green)untill 200km/h and more,Fz1 stay first! And if you think that my friend is a bad driver,when we change bike he win...
 
The 04/05 CBR1000RR is not exactly the fastest of the litre bikes of that era so it's probably believable.
Now if they were racing a 2005 Kwakka thou or the mightly 2005 Gixxer 1K, then I'm sorry but the FZ1 would get smoked all day long.
My last bike was a Gixxer thou 06 model and that bike was a weapon compared to my 2010 FZ1N which frankly, is slow in comparison.

seen this video before. What I tought seing was that the CBR does not shift. looks like he sits in 6th gear and just goes fullout on the trottle. The FZ1 you can see shifting
 
C'mon

Okay, here's a photo of me on my 2005 CBR1000RR Repsol at Barber.

Here is another photo of my 2007 FZ1.

Is there anyone here who would say they have a better take on this than I would? If I asked someone to plan the test with my own bikes, they couldn't have picked more closely what I know besides the MV Agusta vs. both of them.

From someone who has ridden them both, time after time, modded both, I will tell you all day it is clearly no contest, and the CBR1000RR, no matter how everyone feels about the motor in 2004-5, would roast my FZ1 in a roll-on EVERY TIME without question.

When you see the FZ1 guy telling the CBR rider to "pull up on him" and he can't even maintain steady speed BEFORE the drag, he's obviously not the best rider, is he?

The only way this would happen, and I am again speaking from my own personal seat of the pants, is if the inexperienced CBR rider hit the very hard rev limiter prior to shifting which shut the CBR1000RR down in 2005 like it hit a wall. It was not a soft limiter, but literally would kill the bike if you blew a shift and tapped it off the limiter and had very very little overrev after peak power. I know this because I've done it way more times than I'd like to admit on the track.

So, from someone who put thousands of real miles on both bikes, exactly the same bikes, gearing or no gearing, this would not happen.

I believe my wife could beat me riding a CBR1000RR using my FZ1 if I bounced the CBR's rev limiter and she shifted the FZ1 cleanly.

Also, without question, the 2004 ZX10R motor was far stronger than the CBR1000RR in stock trim (as mentioned above). Have a great day.
