What's not to like here ZZR 1100 are absolute beautiful bikes I absolutely loved my teacher's ZZR 1100 everything was cool as about it and your right these were the super bikes before super bikes were a thing really.
90's bikes are gaining popularity as they offer so much for so little. I have a slowly growing collection because I can have several for far less than the cost of anything new. For me the big difference is now I don't need reliability so much as I work from home, I have time to tinker in the garage and I have the experience and tools to fix most problems.
Love my 1994, power is so intoxicating and its road manners are outstanding. Just recently installed a set of Hepco & Becker 30L hard cases for touring.
@@Sandman.68. I had a new 14 in 2008 and a nice used one later on, great bikes, thanks for watching and have fun enjoying your bike. They are a treasure to behold.
Great looking bike & great prospective to have an older bike. I hankered for the ZZR1100 but was a bit scared of having an older machine vs current ethanol fuel etc. I ended up buying a 03 ZZR1200 in june this year - love it!! They are great bikes. Thanks for the interesting video & ride safe 👍
@@neilprosser4040 Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Enjoy your ZZR1200, another great machine, hope it brings you many happy miles.
Thankyou for taking time to make these ZZR videos. Ive owned a '99 D7 for 17yrs and recently thought about selling. Your video has made me see sense. No way am i selling. Thanks again 👍🏻
That's great to hear. 17 years is a good chunk of your life and I applaud you for keeping it for so long. It's irreplaceable and it's a slice of some of the best Japanese engineering. You have a great history and connection with yours and that's priceless. Hope you continue to enjoy it for many more years to come. Thanks for watching. On Mon, 29 Jul 2024, 20:53 TH-cam,
Another great video mate. I have a video on YT on why I love the ZZR 1100 and I echo your sentiments exactly on things like ABS etc. Ride Fast, Ride Safe mate.
I have a 1993 D1 that I have extensively restored, Öhlins front and rear, Dymag carbon wheels, AP brakes, I love my ZZR modern bikes just don’t appeal to me 👍
@@davidharris5736 Thanks for Watching David. Yes my bad, it's the old just nipping out for a quick spin. No excuse I know. I had had a very busy weekend in the garden and it was a last minute thought on a very muggy day. But you are right to comment, it's not good practice.
Hi paul i had 2 zzr 1100 a c1 and a d7 in its day was a proper tool a mans bike ! Very fast the handling was a little vague if you were pushing on at pace the d7 model was a better bike like you say can get these for very little money .
@@andyrawlings5369 You are right. If not set up right they can be a real handful on the roads and a serious death trap. However having had 5 of them, this one is I think as good as you can get it. Another wonderful machine. I feel like a very lucky custodian. Thanks for watching Andy, stay safe.
@@vordan7111 I had a repetitive wrist injury about 10 years ago, I could not use my left hand, ended up for a few years riding DCT's so that I could let it recover. It was a habit I adopted as it reduced the pain. I have obviously built my hand strength up on my tendons over the years to compensate. I have been trying to see if I can revert but seems to be hard for me to do so. It's a fair point and I take it on board. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
gloves mate, get them on, were only here once, great bike.

I drive a cagiva navigator, can get most parts of other bikes, just have to watch my bodywork and make my own chain guides😂

I'm looking to buy one just now. Its a toss up between zzr1100 and the 1200.

Nice ride .I have a D 1994. Thank you for letting us hear your ZZR in it's glory. I enjoyed it but Just one small thing, why no gloves / boots?

Riding without gloves!? First thing you put down when you fall, bare skin and tarmac even at walking pace, doesn't bear thinking about.
@@jackn4853 Hi Jack, yes high price to pay for laziness, thanks for watching.
Not holding the (left side) handlebar with your thumb under - VERY bad habit and VERY DANGEROUS!

No gloves very unwise
@@johnalanstopford4556 Yes I agree, bad habit I have stopped. Thanks for watching.
