The only reason why these bikes are not seen around as much anymore is the lack of parts. I would like to support worldwide parts on classics and vintage rides to keep them alive!
Absolutely the problem is most people ride the piss out of these old bikes and turn them into some stunt bike or trash them it's sad really because they're worth something and a lot of people see those old bikes at the bike night and it brings back memories I have a 1990 fzr 1000 then I'm going to get back together one day I'm just looking for somebody in the Tampa Bay area that actually knows how to do Real Performance work we used to have Elite performance but they went years ago wish I knew where Gary was at thinking of freshening up the old f z r with 98 99 R1 rear tail section Plastics and using the rear sub frame from a 99 R6 being the fzr subframe bolts on to the Mainframe and so does the R6 I figured I'd give it a go my other love is my 97 yzf750 which is altogether it just needs somebody work new tires and the carbs cleaned and I think it has a leaky clutch but I'm thinking about freshing it up to by using the same year R1 tail section but actually using a R1 rear tail section I know a welder cut off the subframe of the 750 and weld on the R1 subframe and I even have a spare fzr 1000 motor in the back to do a 750/1000 hybrid later on I have lots of ideas just not a lot of money lol but dammit I'm going to collect my treasures I'm 6 foot 3 and weigh about 250 none of the new bikes appeal to me they certainly don't fit me I do like the new ZX-14 and I'll be damned if I'm going to go buy a Hayabusa everybody has one I can't stand them for that I want something nobody got or hardly anybody has and for the price of the new bike I can fix up my old bike
I have a yzf750r on a 95 with a few of the sp upgrades, suspension, carbs, etc, use as my daily bike and still great fun, even compared to my modern bikes,easy to ride fast 🏍👍🏻
I got a 94 YZF 750 R and I have decided to tear it down and rebuild her. Everyone who has riden it fell in love with it. Pulls like a freaking rocket. Beautiful bike!
2 powerbands - 5K & 8K. Pulls all the way to redline. Got a full Hindle pipe and jet kit on mine- keeps the low & mid range intact. A full Yosh totally killed the bottom end- wouldn't pull a fart below 5K. The Hindle drops 18 lbs as well.
Sileve Sileve awesome! I’ve decided to completely rebuild mine. Debating whether to activate the ex-up with VH exhaust, but going to check out Hindle you mentioned.
@@never_2_old_fitness313 I don't have any Dyno numbers unfortunately. The K&N air filters are a given, of course. Sorry I don't know any of the part numbers offhand... Looking around- maybe try Hindle directly. DO NOT go to StarCycle- I've had a terrible experience with them.
Sileve Sileve when mine was running, with no carb sync, vacuum leaks, and running straight D&D exhaust, it peaked at 119 hp. I’m sure rebuilt it can reach those 140’s and 150 numbers a buddy of mine use to get when he raced them back in the 90’s.
I have a few of these sadly they were overlooked by the Honda fireblade and in my humble opinion this was and still is a much better bike as a racer They are fast they are nimble and also quite comfortable to ride I can stiil keep up with modern bikes and i am by no means a good rider !!! The paint work etc is also every bit as good as the Honda just a good honest bike thanks for the up load made good viewing thank you !!
Awesome video! I'm excited to see Dave Moss collaborate with Iconic! 2 of the best in the game... Iconic motorcycles have soooo many legendary bikes for Dave to go over? Or feature like this! MORE PLEASE! Iconic's Instagram is a pleasure to see every day, seriously. Go check it out folks.
It's a treasure because it's the Grandaddy of all YZF SP''s that came after it. It also won several BSB championships and multiple WSBK races in it's day. Sadly it didn't win the WSBK championship but it came very close in the hands of Haga
Took a standard one of these for a test ride back in the 90's, made my CBR600 feel like it had a large piece of rubber between the front and back wheels...
A friend of mine had a ZX7 with the ZX9 engine in it and I brought a really good bike then after I wrote it you put a ZX12 rear swingarm arm on it and then sold the thing I wish I would have known I probably would have tried to buy it off of him
Question! I have a 2017 sv 650 and according to the dealer because it uses shims valves, i might not need to worry about adjustment un till close to 100k kilometers. Do shims last much longer than the regular valve adjustment?
All modern bikes use shim under bucket valve train. The Suzuki owners manual states valve check at 14500 miles. Shims do last longer than rocker arm type systems but nothing would go 62k miles in an SV engine.
@@never_2_old_fitness313 Look up Chuck Graves & what he did in AMA or WERA - stuff an FZR1000 engine into it. I've been wanting to do that for some time.

This guy is claiming its making 150-160hp and i highly doubt that. These motors made around 120 stock when new. They are carb engines and are 750cc not 1000cc. Without taking apart the engine and modifying it with lighter parts and stroking/boring it for displacement he has at best 130

Really puts it into perspective when he mentioned his R3 times! Crazy how much things change.

It also won several BSB championships and multiple WSBK races in it's day.
Sadly it didn't win the WSBK championship but it came very close in the hands of Haga
Thanks for reminding viewers of the history this model created and the success it experienced.
I was sold on it as soon as he mentioned it can change directions. just the thought of riding and being able to get back home on the same bike
Took a standard one of these for a test ride back in the 90's, made my CBR600 feel like it had a large piece of rubber between the front and back wheels...
That bike could have been in a crate and it would still be a treasure as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew what is was very nice bike!!!
Had a 91 Ninja (J) ZXR750R... it was a beast. Nice to see this bike still alive.... good video!

johnrhodes101875 A week ago I seen a very rare 1996 ZX7RR 500 sent to states.... immaculate condition for $15,000... this was freaking gorgeous.
150hp it's a treasure esp at 25yr old. Lots of bikes are still much slower.
Having one of those is like finding the holy grail 🚀💪🏾🔥
Brilliant bike, brilliant people.... well done 👏
Beautiful bike!
Is this the one with the quick change rear wheel where the sprocket stays with the swing arm and the wheel comes off?
Good question. Will have to ask Jesse!
this is a real treasure

Just check the clearance every 16K miles. SV engines are notoriously reliable
*takes wild guess* - treasure
Came close to his times riding a R3. Lol what a noob.
Obviously he is reliant in the electronic nannies that most are lately
Absolute trash. As a free service to you though, you can come and dump it off in my garage next to my 1994 YZF750.
Got a 94 also. About to rebuild it.

@@artboy416 I want that so bad, just too much going on right now. Yours still going? If so, still loving it?

Jesse jumped on this for a few sessions but he is a class champion with the R3. Hard to push a very $$$$$ bike compared to your known race bike.
I know, I know. I'm just making joke. Sheesh.

Did I get the right one in there?
She Is Treasure
This guy is claiming its making 150-160hp and i highly doubt that. These motors made around 120 stock when new. They are carb engines and are 750cc not 1000cc. Without taking apart the engine and modifying it with lighter parts and stroking/boring it for displacement he has at best 130
I'd be afraid of crashing it
