![Kawasaki ZXR 750 H1 Onboard RAW Sound [4k]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nw2QKM5U29E/mqdefault.jpg)
I have an FZR 1000 1990 model, and I still love it. It definitely turns heads and it still surprises me for a 29 year old bike. Good reviews and awesome informative video.
I have had my Kawasaki ZXR H1 750 for a couple of years now . Considering its age I find it excellent to ride, exhaust tone is great and the power is superb.
Agree,i had an H2 and a J1,although the J1 did handle superb at the front,but the H2 was balls out mental,loved it!
I want them all, old school fast is scary
CruzinKrispy busy repuilding a H1 myself...
I got 1990 ZXR750 H2 for $1500 in 2015! Love the old school power and nostalgic look.
Worst paint I've seen on a Fireblade for a while...........what a shame we all used to do that to these beautiful bikes back then.
I had a zxr750H1 with a J2 engine. I weighed in at about 120kg, and could thrash most bikes, including gsxr1100's. Ahhhh, fond memories.
Another beauty of a programme... if only I could time travel back and buy that zxr... lovely. Best regards
the h1 will keep going up and up in price if clean, it would now be considered a collectors item
I have 2. One standard & one I built in 98 which is a bit awesome even if I say so myself. I love them.
I loved M&M when I lived in Ireland for a year.
That CBR screams "Ive been dropped and my owner couldnt afford to get it painted back to stock colours" :-)
Love my ZXR 750 L1
Me too😍
Owned all 3.. had 3 ZXR H2s, 2 x EXUPs.. and currently own a ‘99 RRX Fireblade
Ok…need to edit this comment 2 years later. I now have an ‘04 ZX12R, ‘98 GSXR750 SRAD, ‘04 Aprilia RSV Factory, and very recent purchase, a ZXR750 H2. I got back into biking in a big way. Still got the Blade too 😄
@@waynester71 Favorite bike out of that lineup?
I'm riding the P1 and I've always liked the H1/2, but never got the money.
Usefull info !
well, i ride an 1987 zx750. and its fucking awesome. does what it has to, and does not break down. verry strudy build. i did not intended to use it as a daily driver. however it does an awesome job in this role. it is ugly for sure, 100 hp is not a lot today from a 750 ccm bike, its heavy as hell, but its built like a fucking tank. everything is quite strong. i found it realy comfy in city and out of city. and even verry decent for long rides. it ain't good handling track bike, but does well overall. thing is, its not a good bike in terms of top speed, acceleration, suspension or in any specific area. but the overal score is a big FUCK YESS thats what i want. love to tonns of low rev power and mid range power, its a verry verry basic engine but its a real workhorse.
The FZR 1000 Exup produces 131.7 bhp of power.
Not at the rear wheel though
@@ljgarrison6910 i know this is a very old comment but that us the rear wheel figure...produces 145bhp at the crank
All great bikes! Be happy with any one of them and grin from ear to ear blasting down the road thinking of all the $ that I didn't pay for the new ridiculously overpriced new bikes. So what if you have to buy a new sho k or rotor or something.
All great bikes! Owned a ZX7 for 11 years, loved it and still regret selling it..... I'll take the FZR1000 outta this group. 👍
I love my zx12r Ninja 2001..... Big big big and easy to maintenance. ... today is faster than yesterday
I got a 91 FZR1000 for $2300 Canadian this past spring. I love it. I don't think it looks that old at all. I don't like the look of new bikes anyway. It's not uncomfortable either but I'm still a thin guy.
How old is this Video? He talks about the 89 model zxr not looking 10 years old? Does this make the video 15 years old?
+Roger Myers how do roger, I bought THIS zxr in 2005. So yeah .... old video.
You got it..............He's a tosser
All timeless motorcycle cool 😎👍.
i have a 96 rr-t and its still a good bike today, honda build quality is amazing.
I honestly used to think "Honda build quality" was bullshit Honda fans spouted, until i got given my father in laws old 83 CX650. It had been used as his commuter bike, every day all weathers and had been "round the clock" And although worn through use, still was in great shape, things that were manky on my other 80s bikes with much lower Kms were in great shape on the Honda. I do believe they put more effort in quality than the other 3 Japanese factories. Yamahas of the same vintage are terrible for build quality.
@@uhtred7860 And i still have the Fireblade.
@@happychappers8311 Nice. Hang onto it prices are rising fast for 90s bikes. I still have my 01 R1 that i bought brand new in 02, ive put it back to bog stock after having all the typical 90/2000s must have accessories lavished on it.:-)
Also the CX, an 86 GSX-R1100 and a 87 FZR1000 thats getting a resto. :-)
@@uhtred7860 I'd love gsxr 1100 its one of my dream bikes. Ya the Blades going nowhere. Im lucky because its a really clean one.
Honda..... always the best design, at every damn effin' angle it just looks 'right' unlike other manufacturers. Just.... perfect. You know wassup, don't lie now!
I love my YZF Thunderace 1000
This gentleman is so wrong, in my opinion. Fzr 1000 exup eats for breakfast any pre-1liter Fireblade in terms of torque, straightline top speed and quick race track performance, and has greater engine character. My ‘92 Exup, with me and passenger, had an higher top speed than a friend’s ‘94 fireblade with just him riding. The ultimate late 90’s performance bike, which changed the 1000 rr’s market, was the R1, achieving what Suzuki made some time before with their Gsx-R 750....everybody knows this except some british magazines, with their Triumphs and stuff....
The Brits ALWAYS put the CBR900 on a pedestal.
My biggest complaint about both of the FZR's I had, both moderately tuned, was hitting my 🥜's on the gas tank coming down from wheelies...oof that always got me. Never happened at the track, only when horsing around in town...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
I've got a 91 FZR1000. I love it
@@uhtred7860not me..... Give me a zxr750h2, zzr1100c, gsxr1100m, fzr1000ru, or even a cbr1000 (of that era/apart from the jelly mould) over ANY fireblade. And yep, I'm a Brit
@@StoffelDilligas I used to read a load of UK bike mags in the 80/90s, Performance Bikes, Bike, Superbike etc and they all fawned over it and carried on like the CBR900 was leagues ahead of any other bike, it wasn't. It was a good bike, and now a classic, but not the be all and end all they made it out to be. It was so bad, i used to think some journos were getting paid by Honda.😆
Why no headlights❓
What do you mean? they all have headlights.
He says the fzr1000 was the fastest bike and then came along the cbr1000. He failed to mention that the zx11 beat them both from 1990-1996 when the cbr1000 finally beat the zx11.
Cbr1000? 135bhp. Exup 147bhp (once the inlet restriction is cut away)
Boy the brit prices are high. I bought my CBR900RR in 2012 for 2400 US dollars or about 1500 pounds.
It appears the video was made circa 1999 when they would have been valued higher.
I got a 1994 900rr for 1500. Dude was scared of it
Id buy the zxr thx
as an American I would die and drive head-on into that oncoming vehicles.
LOL, is that something you do often? :-)
FZR1000 doesn't have 112 hp. It has 131...
Dahoon and rear wheel 130 not brake horse .
Ido wonder about this blokes opinions!
arent the bikes restricted in the UK?
@@jeffmantle2468 exup were slightly restricted yes but a few minutes with a sharp knife in the inlet rubbers cures that and I very much doubt there are any left that are restricted now !
@@snowlyon4802 mine put out 134.5 bhp on the Dyno with just a dynojet kit and race can .
So the GIXXER 1100 doesn't get a look in !
Because it was horrible.
@@mopetenstaub The first one was/is the best one, not as powerful sure, but was better than what came after.
I would rather have a ZX11,or the Honda Blackbird.
Sorry. .... do you know Avon tyres for us superbike?...... 200.50.17 only Avon work today
Gosh, I've never seen a fireblade from that era in those colours. It makes a handsome bike look dog ugly.
Super cool bikes. either you respect them or they kill you. Those Yamahas love to drink oil though...
The fzr1000 exup has 150 hp!!
Not at the rear wheel they don't. That 150 Hp is what the marketing guys claim.
@@ghost500e Yep thats correct, a lot of bike owners were always shocked when we put their bikes on the dyno and showed them the true rear wheel hp. Giving HP numbers measured at the crank is like giving dry weight numbers, means next to nothing in the real world. Its for the sales brochures and ad's.
yamaha 145 hp
Those prices are inflated somewhat. You can get an H1 for under £1500 & Exup's well under £2500 all T&T'd
The video is about 14 years old so that would've been the prices back then as the bikes weren't as old. You're right, these days all three of these bikes can be had for a bargain!
shughume Oh lol, I didn't realise it was that old
Honda all the way!
Full of shit.........................What i'm saying is what i know about ZXR'S. I had aH2 and a J1, and this bloke is talking BOLLOKS,what was it renouned for? The BEST front end handling bike in the world Look at early '90's racing,all KWAKS and DUKES!
Old school tastic
