Had the CBX1000 6 cylinder in 1981 and then the GSX1100 in 1991. Both extremely good bikes. Now have the CBR1000F and still riding today at 65 years young. Good times 😊
This is skill, overpowered bikes with licorice frames and plasticine brakes dicing with the only riding aids being the riders right hand! This is proper skills.. love the old GSX’s, had 2 myself, a 750 and 1100, plus a tasty Katana 1100. Never seen that blue paint job before, both of mine were red.
Oh my word! What a memory. Dave Hiscock and brother Neville settled in South Africa back in the 80s. I watched them race the Shell racing Katana 1100s at the Killarney race track. So sad when he came short on the straight after trying to control tank slapper. RIP mate!
Biker since 1977, GS1000 aged 20 in 1981 , 2 CBX6s one in '82, one in '89, GSXR1100M since 2002, Hayabusa since 2006, .....this stuff in this vid is where it (was) at, wonderful UK
1st Bike at 10 in 1973 & by the time I was 35 I'd spent $500000 aud on Bikes! The best House in My Town was $250000 then! Still got still got 6 bikes! Ah yeh Held the 250cc Production Record at Phillip Island for 2 years from 1989 to 1991.
Great stuff. Calder is another former circuit in Oz. It is still there but much modified and then subsequently virtually abandoned. Short little bullring, but it produced some great racing.
Given the smaller displacement, the number of cylinders and the larger dimensions, I thought that the Honda CBX 1000 was quite penalized on slow tracks. Instead it fights reasonably well against the Suzuki GSX 1100. The riders certainly had to have big balls to take these heavy beasts on the track.
Didn't matter stuff like that back then...folk just wanted to race the shit.....todays whored out crap Motorsport with all its riders/.driver aids is a fkn joke. The 70'80/90s were the best decades ever.

Gladitorial efforts. Muscling those huge bike around at often redlined speeds. Doesn't get any better.

Taking the 120 Hp versus the saggy suspension, 250 Kg weight and match stick 35 mm forks of these bikes into account these racers were real heroes!
Yes brings back memories was a good friend of Neville Hiscock it's nice to see these bikes going around

Really impressed with that CBX as those Suzi 1100's were monsters

Hard to keep a straight face when he says his cock goes up the inside!
