lol, the poor 12 ha ha

Hi there fellow vloger, I found your channel through Tom Charnock's page, sent you a sub mate , good to meet other riders , I live in Sweden but originally from the Brighton area, ill enjoy going through your posts , Cheers

Nice different camera angle. Well done. Thank you.

Hands down the best generation in my opinion and they look so good I own an 06 model

Watching this one again. I have about 8500 miles on my Dunlop Trailmax Missions with plenty of tread left. I've been very happy with them and pretty quiet as well.

I am seriously thinking about getting a VFR800, not the new gen but an older one, the deals you get on sub 20K miles are scandalously good for such an awesome piece of kit, its just a beautiful bike, ok the maintenance might be a pain but man it would be worth it.

It appears to me that they do it not solely for the ill gotten gain, but the excitement. The guy that you mention who was stealing cars, he wasn't just stealing cars, he was getting high on stealing cars. It becomes like a drug for them. Sometimes they do it to the wrong person, a drug dealer or a gangster and they end up with lots of broken bones. I've seen videos of the London police, they simply ram them right off the road. In Glasgow where I live its not so bad, but in Edinburgh, its an epidemic. One young Polish girl drove her bike right across Europe with no issues, only for it to be stolen from beneath her window in broad daylight. It was harrowing, she could do nothing to prevent it, they simply rolled up on another bike and pushed hers away, mockingly. Karma will get them for sure.

You got exactly same mentality as me Just oxygen thieves

Unfortunately, Bike theft is on the rise and will continue on that path cos cops wont/cant tackle it.... im in Ireland and bike theft is rampant, all being done by spotty faced teens, they will take it in broad daylight even with cops watching, they will run off with the bike,,,,, my insurance wont cover me for bike theft and if it was stolen I'd be devastated cos it keeps me alive... i have a 06 Fireblade,, its my profile pic here and i love my bike, never fails to make me smile.. u know the feelin yourself pal,,,, keep makin videos specially of that bike cos the look and sound is awesome... mine is currently in the kitchen....not too far from the shotgun.... anyway stay safe out there, all the best from Tommy in Ireland

I've owned two ZZR 1100 models, great bikes done a lot of miles on both. I now own ZZR600. Again a great bike and done a lot of miles on it. As to why I went smaller capacity? I can't say....but the 600 is a great bike. Mine has 178000kms on it, it's never let me down. Nor did it's bigger brother. My last ZZR1100 had 15000kms on it when I sold it, never an issue with Kawasaki motors. The ZZR600 is a beautiful lil bike, plenty of power. I don't race it nor have I flogged it, but it does love a good "revving" and it's never given me an issue, it will out race any car off the lights and it will keep up with most modern mid range bikes. I consider myself to be an average rider. I have a few spills, due to my own ability. But this bike is hands down the best I've owned, yes it's not an 1100, but it's plenty quick and so very versatile.

Great video! Well explained! I love my 05blade!

is the 2023 have the 19"front wheel ?

It was an utterly compelling review headrace, seriously bro, watched every minute. As why you love your Blade and not the AT, wow, what to say? Riders say that modern bikes are perhaps a little clinical? They lack soul perhaps? My friend just bought an imported KZ650 from the early seventies, it just has a lots of soul is the best way to describe it, makes the modern Kawas look like robots and rightly so. Why your Blade resonates with you and the AT doesn't is perhaps something similar?

Why would you want one they suck number one uncomfortable as hell number 2 pain in the ass to work on you have to take the stupid fairing off number 3 no power down low the powers meant for top speed who cares.

why don't you light it so we can hear its roar, so it doesn't burn some gas...

Good basic alrounder !!!!

i recently sold my s1krr ,apart from reliability issues i was much happier on my old gsxr1000k2 ,they are nice to look at but theres too much tech on them ,that cbr looks nice i hope we havent seen the last of them but im aware they are pulling the r1 from the uk market

Why has the cbr got two end cans... it's just not right!

e.g--After yrs of ill-health-unemployment and bikelessness, I picked up a 93 Blade, 14,000 miles and the (2nd,.) owner 'apologized' about the scratch under the belly-pan and the after-market 'can' though the original came free! Guess!!---£1,350. I'm 5'6" and 10st,. and this bike was so comfortable to and from London (from Manchester), and equally suited to ride all day over and around the Pennines. With plenty to spare from2,000 to 11,000 revs, why would I, or anybody in the know spend £10,000 on a new and expensive to insure, parts, scratch worry etc,. when you can have all this along with fully comp 'Classic Bike' insurance for £150. I had to sell the blade because of money and storage problems, but have had a VF1000R, CBR1000F, GSXR 750 (Slingshot')----All were dirt cheap, fast as you can, and great fun (inc,. SC16 VF). Look at all the bike reviews of these 90's bikes. All the owners/reviewers struggle, but eventually admit that these bikes are so much better and more fun than new bikes. I've got the bike itch again,--what next?? Can't afford a blade but a ZX9R, or Gixer 750 SRAD??? Maybe go fuel injection with a ZX 636??? So long as it looks and rides well??? Right,---I now need £1500 from the bank--Wish me luck and thanks for bike knowledge HR---stay safe--wear a condom!

No they’re coming back, I’m 56 and fell for the adventure crap but now I’m back on my k5 Gsxr 1000 and it’s why l got into motorcycling!!!, going through the Monmouth tunnels last weekend I slowed right down give it a handful in first to let everyone else hear that yoshimura trc!!!😂, I might get old but that won’t 😍 love blowing past millennials on their sit up and beg crap😂 guys keep you weight down, get rid of your guts that’s enveloping the tank then get a sports bike with no rider aids, you don’t need them , it’s utter wankery🤷

bikes peaked around 2005 - get a ducati 1098S whilst you still can!

Yeah i think the heart n soul has gone from sports bikes....too many electronic settings that's too distracting for me... lot of people switching to the adventure bike...i love all sorts of bikes but the old sports bikes are my favs....the sound, the appearance of them and the ride itself... i have an 06 RR-6. Can be seen in my profile picture, i can spend 4 to 5 hours in the saddle on any given day, i use it as a tourer, cos its my type a bike.. im almost 47, 6ft 4 and near 18 stone, bike feels amazing compared to the other 2014 600rr i have..... definitely agree that they are not suitable to the roads we have, plus my skill levels mean this bike is way more than i need....but i still needed it......its a visual thing aswell as an audible thing, plus i love the smelll of the exhaust fumes...... .safe travels pal...have fun...From Tommy in Ireland 🇮🇪

In cars there's a similar trend. Traditional sports cars are no longer produced. It's all high power SUVs and crossovers now. In bikes there's also a sharp distinction between traditional hard core analogue bikes, such as the GSX-R750 offering raw riders experience, and modern digital bikes with all kinds of rider's aids, such as the Panigale V4S. Contrary to sports cars and despite modern rider's aids, the performance of a sports bike is mainly dependent on rider skills. Of course, one bike can be better than the other. Modern designs are not always progress. Tests with riders switching bikes on the same track have shown a 15 year old GSX-R750 to be consistently faster than a modern day Panigale V4S. 😎

The guys with money want comfort, right? They just want to cruise the lanes where they live or go to Europe on tour, a sports bike is not optimal for that kind of thing. Young guys cannot afford the top end sports bikes so they ride all the older six hundreds, YZF600R, ZZR's etc I am slightly older than you, when i was 15 I had a Honda 250 Superdream, was great, the GPZ was a sports bike, the Yamaha RD350 etc but very few people had them, instead we had Yamaha DT250's and Honda XL's , the grand daddies of the Tracer 9 and Transalp :) I think you are correct in your analysis, it will be an enthusiasts thing.

Thank you super much for the great review. This probably my most favorite bike of all time. I would drop some of them fancy spring y cartridges in the forks and definitely install😮 a new shock....fix the windscreen . I wonder what it would sound like with an Arrow exhaust system installed?? 🤔 I may not put one on. They sold a lot of these here in Beautiful Gorgeous Bangkok Thailand in the past. I grew up on bikes from a wee little lad... 😅 Honda XR 75 was my first.. our whole family took off from San Francisco and looped all of North America one summer back in 1981 when we were still a.. HONDA family 😅... well... my brother and I did have a full spectrum of dirt bikes growing up... great review again. Have a great day 😬 ✨🌴🙏✨🌴

The Arrow pipes look devilishly handsome.

what teamperature range should it operate in? feel like my 2005 1000rr runs super hot in traffic, like over 100*C

My 1995 version can keep up with most modern 1000's. Its only the lower rev base that lets it down but you have to expect that from carb fed bikes.....

Great video. Fitting homage to a brilliant bike. Keeping mine. Upgraded suspension, heated grips, throttle lock, akrapovic pipe, barkbusters… Dream bike, for traversing the African continent literally. Off to Botswana next

The Power Of Dreams ❤

Amazing stuff thanx. Please consider using the Metric System for us from the arctic circle & others…. The Power Of Dreams ❤ Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴

Congratulation with Your new Honda. Great choice. Sad to see You part with Your Highlander. Am keeping both My Honda’s for a long time to come. They suit Me perfectly. Honda Transalp 650, 2005. Honda Crosstourer DCT Highlander, 2019. Keep Riding & Good luck with The Legendary African Queen! Best Regards From Norway 🇳🇴

You want a ZX14R / ZZ14 :D

Looks fabulous in that colour way with all the kit on. Looking forward to hearing more on it as you use it.

So glad i found your channel

Absolutely love your content good man. Please keep up the great work ❤❤

After 4 months I wonder what you ended up with. Have you considered the V Strom 1000 or even the 1050DE? I'm looking for a new bike and have shortlisted the Crosstourer and the Vstrom. They are both in a similar price range. I test rode the 1050DE and it's a fantastic bike. I can't seem to get my hands on a Crosstourer for a test ride at the moment. I think I would love the V4 and I'm keen on a shaft drive as well.

I got one similar color but a 94 model, they go hard especially when you hit 10 K to 14 K . I live in Australia and if you own a vehicle over 30 yrs old you can register it as a classic historic vehicle and the registration is 1/3 the normal cost. Happy riding.🍀

👏👏

You are reviewing this bike without taking into consideration its design and purpose. You already mentioned that you dont have off road experience, so there is no way for you to review the bike as it was intended to be used. You still gave alot of good insight, though. Size, brakes, suspension, etc. Thanks for the half review...now go off road and give us the other half😊

Video için teşekkürler❤

I love it, mine has a Repsol "dress"... 🙂🤘

How comfortable would you say this is mate? I’m considering the gixxer 750 but I have a love for Honda. Put a lot of people say the 750 is very comfy for a sports bike so I’m in two minds atm.

I have a 2016 manual crosstourer, had it just over 2 years now. I fitted Michelin road 6 tyres and it's transformed the bike. I never go off road, so don't miss the A41's.

I have a 2005 Honda cbr1000rr repsol that looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Never plan on parting with it if I can help it they are awesome machines.

Hi I’ve got a 954 , it’s a great bike as was my old RRP. I’d definitely like to own the RR5 out one day

Bought one new in 93 and another in 2001. After 20 yrs missed it so much I bought a used 2000 a couple yrs ago. Had many bike in between but always have the Kaw and a Honda Magna in the garage. Ride safe👍🏻

Hi there! I have my 2005 ZZR 600 registered and did about 500 km on it. I have a question about engine temperature: indicator always just stays at beginning of normal range, except maybe in town. But I haven't got it up to the middle of the gauge. Is that normal or should I check the thermostat? Cheers, Stefan

Do you like it better than the VFR1200X?
