The ZX-7R and R7 OW02 are hands down the two best looking bikes in this. I love the RSV4, but nothing will compare to the 7 with hoover tubes or the timelessness of the OW02.
@@peterkwakman7440 J model had the biggest headstock of any bike at the time.... the front axle was HUGE and it was hollow.... no other sport bike at the time had such a good front end.... none... the J2 was by far the best handler of all the ZXR750s released... up until today.... they still haven't matched it
Yes. Much more satisfying riding an oldie fast than the latest greatest. Makes other riders who’ve spent $20K or so on their newest greatest feel pretty stupid too. FTR
@Polaris sportsman really?? I have ignorant mind that fi is 'easier' and don't wanna deal w carb bike bc I just wanna get up and go. Tell me why I should go to carb n not be scared
@@curvecrazy I keep telling my new mate his 2014 🔥 Blade its b/s slow & won’t keep up with a dirt bike , around town or on a mountain road . He Doesn’t comprehend the idea of a high-side.
my very first superbike was a 1991 ZX7R love the way it look, took it out to the backroad the very next day and crashed it, insurance salvaged it and I bought the 1991 CBR F2, saved my life :)
Very nice to see these classics. You should make some comparison of classic bikes like GSXR 1100 1990 with some of modern bikes. That would really make a lot of us happy.
Get one in good mechanical shape, do a little suspension work, and every summer Sunday the rest of your life you can do your own comparisons with riders on the latest greatest hardware. That one could take a 1216 kit and set up right it would be a force to be reckoned with.
Honda and Freddie just go together.... like forever......! Was there in June ‘93 Laconia NH to see Fast Freddie and Doug Polen and Scott Russel duke it out awesome time to be alive.
Thousand CC bikes are all about reducing the bikes ability to get around the corners. Once you get around the corner, the bike springs back up to its highest ability level. They don't behave in the same way as the smaller bikes.
I miss my kawasaki zx750 so bad.. was my 1st ever street bike.. perfect bike I learned on... I took so good care of my bike.. I could actually keep up with most bikes and people were shocked.. I beat a dodge viper in a race. Dodge owner was shocked... Unfortunately someone ended up stealing my bike at my work.. had everything on camera, Unfortunately it was at night.. was hard to see the license plate on the truck.. Long story short, cops called me 2 months later to tell me they had my bike. Went to go look at and I walked right by it, didn't recognize it because it was just the frame, gas tank,tires and wheels.. everything else gone. Cops idenfied it by Vin number on frame.. I was completely heart broken.. ended up getting anouther bike yrs later. Got a 2002 929rr Honda cbr.. sick and even faster bike.. loved it. Ended up having to part ways 6 yrs later, due to new edition to my family and my daughter meant more to me to be 💯 percent dedicated to her as her dad... :) still miss riding though.. maybe some day I'll get anouther bike.. 🏍.
I own a 92 Ducati 888. Something that I would add to the info in the video is that you can accelerate much earlier on corner exits, because the 90 degree V-twin has 270 degrees of dead cycle between ignition firing, which allows the rear wheel to stay hooked up.
Rubbish. With bikes, you're setting up corners 2 corners prior to the actual corner. You must do 2 corners in a particular way to get into position to corner the 3rd corner correctly. The faster you go the more planning you must do to get around the track safely. Those 2 first corners, you're not doing them as if they're single corners. You're going around them slowly so you can get into an ideal location on the track to execute the 3rd corner in the ideal way.
The original GSX-R was an endurance racer. That explains the higher bars. Still, going from a GS to a GSX-R was like going from a propeller driven plane to a jet fighter back in 86.
These are absolutely my kind of bikes.. shame they’re so expensive. I have a 99 Fireblade, GSXR750 SRAD, ZX12R, Aprilia RSV & ZXR H2 750.. and love them all. Would love these bikes.. gorgeous 😎
The RC30 really was something else, my friend had one and it was just so special it did everything you wanted it to do, I had one ride but never pushed it because obviously didn't want to deck it, far superior to anything in its day, hence the price tag...
I have a 1997 916 and a 2008 1098R and I still want a RC30! The last new one I saw was at a dealership in San Bernandino in 1990 and I could not afford it and it sat there for month! Some lucky person finally bought it, I think out of state. I think parts for them are very rare and expensive though if you can even find them anymore.
I know this is about sportbikes, not sport tourers like my GSX 1100 EF (GS 1150 in the U.S.). However, as some of you know, this was the bike that took over where the Katana left, and at it's introduction it was the fastest series production bike to leave a factory. When it was introduced in Denmark in 1987, I was still educating as a truck mechanic and, thus, didn't have much money. However, I instantly fell in love with it, and during idle periods in the workshop I sat and drooled over the sales brochure. When I finally took the step and approached the dealer in the autumn of 1987, I was kindly told that it would be quite a lot cheaper in the spring of 1988, since the model was being discontinued - but they only had one left! So I paid a deposit and they promised to keep it for me. :-D I've had this bike ever since, and after a not-so-good period with little time and cash for maintenance or even driving it, I finally restored it in 2010 - an event which marked the beginning of a new era for the both of us. For years, I've travelled to much of Eastern Europe and Asia on it, in all sorts of environments. Especially the Caucasus region has given me some of my best experiences. I've had a few problems, but the bike as such is still going strong - and I've upgraded it with quite some items by now, and more are to come. The only "modern" bike I've ever had, is a GS 500 F, which filled the gap while I needed to restore the 1100. Frankly, the newer designs don't really appeal to me - they're probably much better in many ways; ABS, wide alu frames and broad rear tires, liquid cooled engines with injection, etc. etc. But I have a hard time believing they have the soul my oldschool Suzuki does. Besides, it's comfortable, good looking and has more than enough torque and horsepower to do the job at any load in any gear! :-D Even now, 30 years later, I'm still in love with my Suzuki.... :-*
You say 'the job' but what is that? It's just how you go around corners and in a straight line. If you want to experience a racing way of travelling, just buy that product. The corners aren't changing. The way you experience them is. You experienced the touring way of going around a corner. Tourers are sort of holiday bikes. Racing bikes are for going round and round in circles. They're cornering and over taking bikes.
90s bikes had soul and style and at a glance ypu knew one brand from another. Enough tech to be fun but rider still controlled the bike. And best looking bikes ever made.
One thing I notice is how the Honda FireBlade is usually the bike used to compare the rest. It may not always be the fastest or the best handling but the impact they did to motorcycle racing is legendary. And they aged really really well.
Saying the cbr900rr wasn't the best handling is putting it lightly. Horrible front end feedback and you could lose the front or rear end at any moment with no warning. But, what an awesome wheelie machine and incredibly fast and just beautiful to look at
i bought a stock zxr J (like in the Video but not the RR) 3 Years ago for 1200 Euros, destroyed it on the Race Track in the same Year. It still hurts to see one, i really loved the Bike in the Time I had it. Now you pay 3 to 4000 for a good R and 5 to 6 for a RR which is still cheap compared to most bikes in the Video.
Got a 2000 model ZX-9R three years ago,nostalga and unfinished business,what a fire cracker! But can somebody define if this was a millenium special,it rings a bell,i cant find out for sure,but it was what the seller said,who's way younger than me.This has a carbon can and is so well tuned,i do wonder,as at that time there was a lot happening...YZF-7R e.t.c.
I just bought CBR 600 F PC23 from 1990 - mint condition from Swizerland dealer Honda( 15000km = ca 10000 miles ) This is my first bike since i did Driver licence 2 month ago ;) yeah . I'm 41 , and i tell you this baby thrill me so. 4 cylinder engine , and this noise up 7000 rpm - AWSOME ! Classic rulez yeah ;)
ZIPPER978 A lot of the early 90's stuff was very mechanical, which is something you can feel when you pilot the machine. I love new bikes, they're absolutely amazing, but they do not compare in sensory stimulation and feel to the older stuff. I spent a day at Thunderhill in 09 on a 1992 ZX-7RR and it was unquestionably the best time I ever had on a track with a bike (and I've ridden plenty). The bike was very fast, gave me NOTHING, and had more personality and soul than anything made today.
HOSSAyNE Morocco Hell man, in 30 years I hope to reflect about how the 2016 R1S was so old school and analog because it ran on gas and had a shifter, and I'm 42.

First bike I owned 1990 zx750 Kawasaki brutally fast and hard kick 2nd 3rd but when u red lined it incredibly stupid speed lessons learned no abs no rev control u controlled this bike it didn't controlled u it just made u a better rider like it or not newer bikes u can turn drink a coke cola no problem lol
cenmike82 that's the last zx7r i need to check off my list. I've had a 93-95 model. And I'm picking up a beautiful 96-03 model on thursday. And now i need to get a hold of a 89-92.
+Sander Twisk ehhh maybe not . Still a badass machine tho ... 900rr was a pretty badass bike in its time . I own a 99 currently . Great daily and canyon carver .
Really nice collection, hoped for a more in depth comparison. What did they say actually? it's an inline 4, it's a v4, it's older, they're both nice, an rsv4 brakes good, blablabla... We already know those things! But thx anyway for the free video :)
l Gring off a few grams of material off my Clip on Bar End Weights, Let Alone the Simple Front Peg feeler's .🚑😎🤓🛵🏍 l use Said Bar End Weight's Three fold Vibration damper's & they keep the grip's on & Don't need to Add unsprung Ride Weight & Don't Screw in upper fairing Socalled Slider's /Crash / Low side dumps Damage limiter's. those Bar end Grinder's keep me from low Sliding & pop me back up most of the time if the road is banked the right way.
Not necessarily the RR, but a simple ZX-7 R 1991/1992 , I’m a kinda tall size for sport bikes at 6’’2 and 240 lbs, but the ergonomics of the ZX-7 1991 was just kinda perfect for my size especially with the handlebars being far and low, my knees where cramps but from the knees I can safely say I never was comfortable from the legs but having my arms fully strech, it’s on this bike that I did my best breakwheely, but evide not with the 1991 tires, but around 1996 I had a ZX-7 1991 but with new Metzeler racestires , sur I’m not the best but I did pull a breakwheely at around 160/140 km/h, and I had many different bikes obviously I had Kawasaki in my hart having had almost every ninja ever existed 😂😂😂😂 But thisZX-7 R as a special places in my hart. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
No, well, there's a red version also. Don't you act like there was only the green version. You're not allowed to complain about bike fit. Tell your doctor about your complaints. These aren't beginners bikes. Complaints about fitment, ended many bikes ago.
Excellent video.. But for the records, that's not an RC-30, that beautiful bike is the NC-30, or also known as VFR 400R The RC-30 is the little brother of the RC-45 RC-30 = RVF 400 RR (this model have 2 air intake who came straight from the panel and end up in the Fuel tank) RC-45 = RVF 750 RR (same deal) In Japan, Europe, and some countries in South America such Chile has these little brother's version of these 90's beauties.. To me, if you really wants to ride or feel a real Superbike, you gotta have at least the experience of a 90's bike, that's the best age of the Super Bikes: FZR 400 RR SP "3TJ" (my favorite) CBR 400 RR Hurricane CBR 400 RR Gullarm ZXR-400 RR GSX 400 RR VFR 400 RR "NC-30" RVF 400 RR "RC-30" Big Brothers: CBR 900 RR Fireblade GSX 750/1100 RR Slingshot/ SRAD ZXR 750/900 RR FZR 750/1000 RR YZF 750 RR (93') and the most beautiful creation of HONDA: HONDA NR-750 I'm a 90's kid, and I will remember that until I became a grand father and I can tell crazy stories to my grandkids!!
***** You absolutely right man, I was kind of sleepy when I was watching the video yesterday, like almost 3:00am (I work night shifts) I remember the RC-30 now, thats the name of the VFR-750.. RVF400RR is "NC-35"
I have a '92 facelift FZR 250. Absolutely awesome zippy bike, would floor a modern ninja 250 no worries. But the damn thing is only firing on 3 cylinders and i cant afford to repair it :( RIP
I have a 1994 GSXR 750 with its origional blue and white paint. A few minor upgrades. If you ever want to use it, just message me or look me up on facebook.
This video needs to be 50 minutes long and not 5. This is like sprinting through the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Tell us more!
That's exactly what I was gonna say!
This is why they've invented simulations.
You get to experience them and tune them.
The ZX-7R and R7 OW02 are hands down the two best looking bikes in this. I love the RSV4, but nothing will compare to the 7 with hoover tubes or the timelessness of the OW02.

the H2

Love the 90s early 2000 bikes 🏍
Two different eras.
That approach isn't possible.
They're very different machines and philosophy.
Love the color schemes and those boxy headlights and double headlights.

Brings back so many good memories.Late 80s early 90s Zx 7s, gsxr 750s cbr's. vance & hines and kerker exhaust

Too bad this wasn't a longer more detailed video. Gorgeous machines!
Very cool. These bikes span my personal interest in sport bikes to the present.
After getting used to its riding position I really loved riding my '92 ZX-7R. It was extremely confidence inspiring and fun!
But medium revs.
Sorry but for me, a pure sprinter, the high rev suzuki brand is the inspiring bike.
If the revs are low, I'm in lazy mode.

Why is it so?
great to celebrate the history and lineage of the bikes that brought us this far..
Wow the zx7r is so cool looking wish I had one
You forgot the Eddie Lawson's 1982 Kawasaki KZ1000R, & the later ZRX 1100 & ZRX 1200R . The 80s super bike feel.
Thousand CC bikes are all about reducing the bikes ability to get around the corners.
Once you get around the corner, the bike springs back up to its highest ability level.
They don't behave in the same way as the smaller bikes.

I have a 1986 Suzuki GSX-R 750 and love it. The first GSX-R I had back in 1986 was red and black. The one I have today is blue and white.
love those twin headlamp styling! i always lust for these Japanese dual headlamp styling!
I own a 92 Ducati 888. Something that I would add to the info in the video is that you can accelerate much earlier on corner exits, because the 90 degree V-twin has 270 degrees of dead cycle between ignition firing, which allows the rear wheel to stay hooked up.
Rubbish.
With bikes, you're setting up corners 2 corners prior to the actual corner.
You must do 2 corners in a particular way to get into position to corner the 3rd corner correctly.
The faster you go the more planning you must do to get around the track safely.
Those 2 first corners, you're not doing them as if they're single corners.

thescbaron Not a superbike. Superbikes were 750cc and up to 1200 in VTWIN. The 900RR was an open class sport bike.
The 929 and the 954 were sure as hell superbikes dude! I beat a lambo in a highway race with my 954
We must have the option to ride these classics
R7 may have been under powered. But it had F1 racing technology in that fuel system, setup..
freddie was brilliant on any Honda he was racing, 500 2 stroke v4 was the best tho

Excellent motorbikes... Pity, I'll never get to ride most of them bikes... :
Nice video
I love my ZXR 750 !
I find it funny you guys have old guys riding old motorcycles. Lmao man
The FZR looks fucking beautiful. I'd love to own one even just the FZR250!
Wait..... no first Gen Fireblade???? This test is incomplete.
What about the 900rr and the 1000rr SP Such great bikes . Like the Vid CG guys !
+Bucky96570 Lol 1000rr SP. Thats not a legendary bike at all.
+Sander Twisk ehhh maybe not . Still a badass machine tho ... 900rr was a pretty badass bike in its time . I own a 99 currently . Great daily and canyon carver .
Motorcycle Royalty!
Wher's the 96 Suzuki 750 SRAD?
Really nice collection, hoped for a more in depth comparison. What did they say actually? it's an inline 4, it's a v4, it's older, they're both nice, an rsv4 brakes good, blablabla... We already know those things! But thx anyway for the free video :)
l Gring off a few grams of material off my Clip on Bar End Weights, Let Alone the Simple Front Peg feeler's .🚑😎🤓🛵🏍 l use Said Bar End Weight's Three fold Vibration damper's & they keep the grip's on & Don't need to Add unsprung Ride Weight & Don't Screw in upper fairing Socalled Slider's /Crash / Low side dumps Damage limiter's. those Bar end Grinder's keep me from low Sliding & pop me back up most of the time if the road is banked the right way.
Lol, er iconic 916 seems to be missing.
Kawasaki looks best
i have to agree with that
Not necessarily the RR, but a simple ZX-7 R 1991/1992 , I’m a kinda tall size for sport bikes at 6’’2 and 240 lbs, but the ergonomics of the ZX-7 1991 was just kinda perfect for my size especially with the handlebars being far and low, my knees where cramps but from the knees I can safely say I never was comfortable from the legs but having my arms fully strech, it’s on this bike that I did my best breakwheely, but evide not with the 1991 tires, but around 1996 I had a ZX-7 1991 but with new Metzeler racestires , sur I’m not the best but I did pull a breakwheely at around 160/140 km/h, and I had many different bikes obviously I had Kawasaki in my hart having had almost every ninja ever existed 😂😂😂😂
But thisZX-7 R as a special places in my hart. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
No, well, there's a red version also.
Don't you act like there was only the green version.
You're not allowed to complain about bike fit.
Tell your doctor about your complaints.
These aren't beginners bikes.
Complaints about fitment, ended many bikes ago.
I've never heard of an R7 before.
Predecessor to the R1, it's also called the OW-02. It was a limited production just to get the bike eligible for WSBK races.
Excellent video..
But for the records, that's not an RC-30, that beautiful bike is the NC-30, or also known as VFR 400R
The RC-30 is the little brother of the RC-45
RC-30 = RVF 400 RR (this model have 2 air intake who came straight from the panel and end up in the Fuel tank)
RC-45 = RVF 750 RR (same deal)
In Japan, Europe, and some countries in South America such Chile has these little brother's version of these 90's beauties..
To me, if you really wants to ride or feel a real Superbike, you gotta have at least the experience of a 90's bike, that's the best age of the Super Bikes:
FZR 400 RR SP "3TJ" (my favorite)
CBR 400 RR Hurricane
CBR 400 RR Gullarm
ZXR-400 RR
GSX 400 RR
VFR 400 RR "NC-30"
RVF 400 RR "RC-30"
Big Brothers:
CBR 900 RR Fireblade
GSX 750/1100 RR Slingshot/ SRAD
ZXR 750/900 RR
FZR 750/1000 RR
YZF 750 RR (93')
and the most beautiful creation of HONDA:
HONDA NR-750
I'm a 90's kid, and I will remember that until I became a grand father and I can tell crazy stories to my grandkids!!
*****
You absolutely right man, I was kind of sleepy when I was watching the video yesterday, like almost 3:00am (I work night shifts)
I remember the RC-30 now, thats the name of the VFR-750..
RVF400RR is "NC-35"
Eniron 929/954 and Rc-51 in the next one please
I have a '92 facelift FZR 250. Absolutely awesome zippy bike, would floor a modern ninja 250 no worries. But the damn thing is only firing on 3 cylinders and i cant afford to repair it :( RIP
'OLD SCHOOL' OF THE SUPERBIKER'S TEACHER ..'FAST FREDDIE' !?
Freddie picks a Honda? 😆 Me too, but give me the OE livery, please.
Good picks but no RC51?
