You know im 54. And I’ve have had back surgery. I grew up with sport bikes. And never been more than a year without a sport bike. I finally sold my last bike about a year ago. Because i can no longer ride. It is the one of the most devastating things I’ve had to deal with in my life. Today I discovered your channel and to watch you work. Well it was great im now hooked on your channel. It brings a smile to my face
With damage like that checking the alignment of the frame would be advisable. Also I would check the internals of the forks and change the triple head bearings.
I just made that point. Main reason why I won't buy a rebuilt unless I know what kind of wreck it was in and everything that was repaired or replaced. Especially frame damage. It may hold up for now but could fail in the worst possible way should it get wrecked again. At least the rebuild process is cool to watch.
You really do some excellent work, I especially appreciate how you put in the extra time and money to replace or remove the tacky add-ons even though the bike is going to be sold. Great editing as well, these are super fun to watch! Also nice to see some quality motorcycle content from someone else in upstate NY. Cheers from the finger lakes, next time I'm in the market for a bike I'll look you up first!
Thank you for showing and putting heat shielding on the fairings. So many people don’t and just throw on the replacements. I knew some guys that ran a Dyno shop and they’d melt a dozen a week (even after warning and asking the owners to remove fairing if they cared about them) and then the owners would get mad that their fairings melted like cheese.
My name is Scott and my son Nathan and I are really starting to get bike fever after being stuck inside for way to long due to the Covid outbreak. I'm more of a old school type of guy but after watching hundreds of videos and talking with Nate for quite some time now we've both decided that we want sport bike's instead of what I was originally going to do which was building a old school kz1000. So today after work I was browsing videos and trying to find one that I watched about a year ago of a young guy probably in his mid twenties or so and I'm pretty sure he was using his parents garage to rebuild wrecked sport bike's and it looked like he was in California right on the ocean. Anyway when I first found his videos I was impressed with his work and the detail in which he put into every bike he did. But today I looked for his videos again and couldn't find any of them. But in the search I stumbled across your videos and was blown away with the way you do your rebuilds and how knowledgeable you are about all aspects of the bike's your working on. So my first question is are you doing these for customers who've wrecked their bike and are having you rebuild them? Or are you buying wrecked bike's and rebuilding them yourself and reselling them? Whichever way, I would be thrilled to talk to you about the subject and maybe get your opinion on which way we should approach this new hobby of ours? And the reason I'm asking is because although I make pretty good money at my trade I don't want to just go out and buy a new bike and just start riding it. I want to be able to bond with my son and when we're finished with our first one I want us to be proud of what we've accomplished together. And I know that your probably a pretty busy guy but we would greatly appreciate it if you could get in touch with us and discuss some options that might be available? Thanks alot for your time and will be watching for your reply hopefully in the very near future. Thanks again! Scott and Nathan Harrington, West Jefferson, Ohio.
My favorite generation Fireblade! You did an incredible recovery job on this beautiful bike! I felt ill, looking at all the tacky crap that had been added to it and I'm so glad you were able to restore it to its rightful glory!
i reaaly aboubt this video is that, you like stock models bikes rather than funky customised. and you are those type of the guy who really wants to get his hands dirty while working.... keep working mannn .... loves your channel.
I feel so happy to see this, this almost brought me to tears. I believe that bikes have souls too. It was soo sad to see such a beautiful and powerful bike rendered useless by a poser (previous owner), to be restored like that. Imagine losing your legs but being given a new set of legs to run again. Absolutely heartwarming. Thank you for doing this.
After a crash which deli ered forces high enough to rip the wheel, brake rotor and oil pan to shreds ... I really do not like the fact you inspected the front forks by looking at them on a table and giving it thumbs up. Thr forks definitely should be replqced after crash like this. Kinda scary to imagine I would be the person going 300kmh on this after this repair
I love seeing OEM parts being installed. That's how they were designed by the manufacturer so they always (in my opinion) look so much more finished than aftermarket. Tasty build, mate. Well done!
Depends Sometimes aftermarket can be better, like full exhaust systems look and feel far superior. If you want to go the extra mile on a carbon bike (like the r1m) adding some extra carbon fiber trim is a nice touch
Wished this was longer! Probably the best build cbr1000 video I've seen. Thanks for showing evrything, I feel more confident doing most of this on my own
How can one man know so much about the inside and out of fixing bikes. Man I wish I had a mentor like him who would lead me down this path to live this kind of life. Doing what you love.
Innocently my yamaha 02 r1 was destroyed. I want to revive my bike, which has been standing for more than 10 years, like this video. great work! you made it

I try not to judge, but all those junk parts he pulled off fits in with the fact it's also been crashed. And I am sorry if it was actually owned by a sensible rider that just had terrible taste in accessories and got caught in a "not at fault" accident.
Usually I skip through these kinds of videos to the interesting parts. But I find your videos fascinating and watch every single minute. I wish I had the space, tools and funds to take on a project like this.
Hey So nice to see such a lovely 'old' bike hit the road. Hope the bike has a better time of it on the road in 2021 and on a good race circuit where it belongs. Great work👍🏻
This bike was beautiful and some Maniac road this bike and totaled it. And this guy is going to do the good job of repairing this beautiful bike to its pristine shape. I commend him of doing that!
After this hard impact of the front, at least you have to open the fork and check for damage inside if you have no opportunities for accurate measuring and testing. I have seen less worse damages in the front and the fork was not working probably. And do you use the right torque for assembling parts on the fork? Otherwise nive job. Looks really great at the end!
One of my absolute favourite bikes, so happy to see it given a new life! I'm sure you did but still, would have been good to see the use of a torque wrench at least once..

Why do you say they were a poser? Accidents happen, bud. You've got no idea what happened, why the bike was in an accident.
Such an amazing job man
Thanks brother!
you have hands of Midas, sir! you just made everything turn into GOLD!
Dota gamer spotted🤣
This demonstrates that a regular person with no tools, no special equipment and any mechanics knowledge can fix a broken bike. kudos!
I must say, you damn near cured my depression with this !! THANK YOU!
Great job Rob, I like seeing all the videos together like that. Cant wait to see u go buy the next one and rebuild it. Number 1 Canadian fan.

There’s also no way the frame is still square.

Man, you are awesome, im from Argentina and i didn't see much of those bikes but the work that you do to make those bikes come alive it's incredible
I am lost for words that one man could do all that beautiful restoration alone.... what an education, thanks!
Well done with the restoration...really good work! Im sure you missed the downpipes though they were all folded in on themselves under the bike.
I wondered that too, did they get replaced @RKMOTORSPORTS?
This mans effort is so underrated

Can't express enough how beautiful this bike still IS today.
I liked how he got rid of all those flashy accessories!
I love watching people make things look super easy, knowing damn well this would drive me crazy if I tried it myself lol. Love the video!
One of the most satisfying bike rebuilds i have ever watched👍
Awesome work appreciation from india 🇮🇳
“The oil pan is obviously all cracked” bro the entire pan is missing😂😂
I also said the same thing😂 the whole oil pan is gone.
I was looking for the oil pan like... ummm?
I was think the same thing
I'm sure he was being sarcastic
Did he change the oil filter?
wow, what a transformation. Looks great! You got me wanting to buy a sport bike and fix it up... and I'm a 2x Harley owner, haha! Love your content, keep it coming.

Commenting so the sweet sweet algorithm keeps these vids comin!
simply amazing🔥
It looked like the exhaust was squashed. Was that replaced?
My guess: 5000usd for parts? 100hrs labour? I hope you got the wreck at a good price.
Ye I wondered that too, reduced airflow in one of the pipes can't be good right.
100hrs? Wat thats 2 full weeks?
and almost 4 millions views in one video... don't forget that
Domino's gauntlets are very beautiful. And whoever puts LEDs on a Repsol is a little insane.
LEDs r GSXR thing i guess lol

When you have the passion, everything is and will be possible 😎👍
Did I miss the part, you repaired the crushed exhaust?
Yeah that's what I also noticed. It will definitely affect the power.
Thought about that too, glad someone else noticed.
As well as the dent in the left hand side of the frame.

“no wonder it crashed”
