I couldn't agree more as an Impreza owner for twelve years 👍

In terms of?

@@RetroSuperbikes acceleration. A 954 with a perfect launch could match a 720s from 0-100mph, but after the 720s will pull away. 720s trap around 145mph in the QM, while a 954 on average trap mid to high 130s. A 720s is more similar in accelration to current litrebikes and is more acclerative than most litrebikes of the mid to early 2000s.

Here's a R1. Around 50hp more than a 954RR up against a 720s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWGynmODeNx_qpIsi=D73q7FiyDr3TCdKr FYI I ride a 2015 R1, also own a 2002 R1 which is same power as a 954. Also have a 97 TL1000S.

@@PAPPABIATCH a lot depends on the rider/driver. Drag race is only straight line speed too. But on paper a 168kg 954 with 154bhp has a power to weight ratio of 0.67 bhp per ton. Whereas the mclaren at minimum 1400kg and 710bhp only has 0.36 bhp per ton. I prefer real world terms though, as you can see here the 954 waited up for the mclaren on several occasions. The R1 may have 50 extra brake, but it also has 30 extra kilos. I came up against another 720 on my SP1, and the results were very different. 120bhp and 200kg, so struggled 😂.

@@PAPPABIATCH In real world terms though who has the ability let alone the stones to use a Mclaren 720s to its full potential. As they say, the camera doesn't lie.

I'd love to ride it

@RetroSuperbikes would be interesting if I'd get on with it's power

Managed to catch up with it, once Mick got his trampoline outta the way 😂 kzbin.info0bQZZK_E9Zo?si=6SSGyHLjiw3iMvCw 😅

A chap local to me. We've been trying to arrange a meet for me to get more details and footage.

It would have made it a lot harder

@@RetroSuperbikes a nice late e/f mint white one with genuine period allspeeds 😆

@@wescooley34 beautiful ❤️

Absolutely

@@RG500_detectorist yep a gamma over them 2 anyday o the week ive had 2 smiles per mile 😆

@@wescooley34 yep, 11,500 smiles per minute for me ❤️ kzbin.infoemnyJ0l7-y0?si=hZmAQKYkgRgZ6IfN Until BOOM day 🤣

How long do they last between rebuilds ordinarily

@RetroSuperbikes mine blew up at 27000 miles, with no oil changes or servicing, and flat out everywhere. Now I look after it, I'd hope it's good for the same, if not more. Originally box went at 33,000.

Rgs are actually solid and reliable 👏

👍

Good choices

He he I managed to get out Sunday

@RetroSuperbikes tempted to go out tonight, but resisted

Awesome

The sound the smell 😍

@@josephharrison4993 yep, smelling superb these fresh mornings ❤️

He was the best

Based on looks? With that seat hump?

Thank you, I thought were's the Srad Suzuki 750!?!

Ha ha yeah true. Just when it gets bitterly cold I have to give it a swerve 😂

You've bought a 929?

Wow cool

Didn't see him today either 😂

@@RetroSuperbikes 😁

I finally got an SP2!!!

@@rapidicus6487 legend! Have you rode it yet?

@@RetroSuperbikes yep amazing. Got a jardines exhaust 1 into 2. Though it is a pain trying to find the rear undertail fender for the OEM rear light.

Do it bud, just be prepared for it to take time. Let me know if you do, I'll help 👍

Which rear fairing bud? The seat unit? Try Facebook on the SP owners sites, that's where I found mine.

@@RetroSuperbikes yeah I’m trying to find the same one in the video, I don’t care for the look of the passenger seat on mine

@@beautocher2696 is it just the boot lid you’re after? You can find them on eBay

They were the best era of bikes

Yes bud, just take it easy

I want it

​@@RetroSuperbikes theres a guy in eastern europe builds these for around 40k and if you look at the price of that stupid v twin 300cc pile o shite £33k thats a total bargain ❤

It's Bruce Ansty 👍

Thanks

Not really. It was built as the rules in wsbk seemed to favour the 1000cc twins IE Ducati. It beat Ducati in its first year and won the senior TT. Gear driven cams rather than Ducatis belt driven, camshaft rather than desmodromic valves.

Wow not had anyone with the ZZR in their top five yet 👍

I just wish Honda would pick up where they left off

Ha ha we need a walk around and revs of yours

@RetroSuperbikes for sure! Although better, I think you need to be along side me at 11,000 rpm.

@@RetroSuperbikes Nice but this one has more noise, more smoke and you can see by the tyre difference, this is used and abused, not spending half it's life on a paddock stand 🤣 kzbin.infoByXMAycRCzI?si=KBnhHjkcKCMCyuzG

Is it bad there then?

Exactly

Meh why have a channel if you can't be biased 😂

It won't let you?

@RetroSuperbikes no can't vote but can sure comment, this is one of the best sounding bikes 😁😁😁😁 It's got to be, based on the 1000s of views. People just wanna hear that rare 4 cylinder 2 stroke abuse 😉 Enjoy!!! kzbin.infoemnyJ0l7-y0?si=yJwOyLwUjC1wuiK3

Even more so in the flesh.

Those would cost a fortune to manufacture but Honda does that stuff as a challenge to themselves like the Rune or Rc 51 or Rc 30 or that magnificent engine in the NR .

@@paulscountry456 They used to be masters at it but don't do it nowadays 😢

You are correct somewhat as they at times dominated MOTO GP but now it's Ducati dominating and racing may be losing money as the technology escalates into who has the best Patch and programmers.

@@paulscountry456 True, let's see how the rule changes pan out. Hopefully it'll bring the bikes back to "reality" and closer racing.

I think I'd be too scared to ever get it out of the garage

Easily one of the best looking bikes ever made
