3 bikes that were competitors back in the 1990's

[@tonypalermo5796]

There all a great buy. Hard to be disappointed with any of these 90s bikes. Buy one of each!

[@woooster71]

@@tonypalermo5796 Lol, exactly 😄👌🏼 Cheers Tony 😎👍🏼

[@chrisfrank6449]

Absolutely loved my 96 GSXR in the day. Mind you it did then lead on to a even bigger love my TL1000S! Still these bike are now of an age to qualify for club registration here in Australia. The Gixxer siren call is ringing in my ears!!!

[@woooster71]

@chrisfrank6449 Cheers buddy, the GSXR is still a serious tool on the road, & fast for a 750! The TLS is also epic, especially that engine.. I also have a TL1000R which sounds amazing with the twin Yoshi's fitted.. but you'll be familiar with that sound 😁👌 There's always space for a 2nd bike/GSXR 😉 Ride safe my friend 😎

[@BatFastard01]

Had the zxr 750, a H1 new on a G plate when I was a young. Was good for the time. Missed out on the SRAD when that came out but bought a mint 1999 one last August as I wanted a "retro sports 750." Absolutely love it! Very light, brilliant handling with a real decent feeling engine and a superb exhaust howl. Nitron rear shock and fork catridges fitted and jobs a gooden! 😎

[@woooster71]

@@BatFastard01 Totally agree with you, the SRAD is a brilliant bike, even today. Just a few mods can turn it into a bike capable of taking on more modern bikes! I love riding mine… Sounds like you have a very sorted SRAD 👍🏼 Appreciate the comment mate 😎

[@MW-ow8ew]

I do love the look of the GSXR. The high rear seat cover as well.

[@woooster71]

@MW-ow8ew Cheers mate, the SRAD does have a marmite rear end, much like the Hayabusa & TLR.. some love, some hate.. but I think it's great. It's a brilliant bike to ride as well! Thanks for commenting, really appreciate 🙏

[@MHLivestreams]

I had a 89 zxr 750 H1 streetfighter, strong motor. Now have a 95 gsxr750 which I'm keeping. Would probably choose the zxr out of these 3, because of fond memories.

[@woooster71]

@@MHLivestreams Good choice mate..both bikes. Love a gixxer 750👌🏼 I bought the ZXR for the same reason, fond memories of owning one 30 years ago.. and it doesn’t disappoint even today, love riding it 😁 Cheers for the comment bro, much appreciated 😎👊🏼

[@Sprocket44]

Love to ride all 3 of em mate. That garage of yours is one wicked Toy box 😎

[@woooster71]

Cheers buddy, they keep me in my happy place.. 😁👍

[@andyb2311]

I do own a 98 gsxr750 haven’t got it going as yet but that zxr H2 looks amazing

[@woooster71]

Cheers mate, the ZXR is my favourite..but the SRAD is a brilliant bike to ride.. definitely need to get yours up & running 😎👌

[@stevenpayton989]

Gsxr all day

[@woooster71]

Good choice, the handling is still awesome..& it screams up top! 😎🔥

[@stevenpayton989]

@@woooster71 yep it brings back some great memories of when I had mine

[@kawakarma]

Can’t go past the quintessentially understated late 80s aesthetics of the ZXR and its raw muscular form (Biased of course!) but I’d love to take your GSXR for a rip!😁👊

[@woooster71]

@kawakarma I know you know 👌😄 I love mine.. It'll always be my favourite bike (unless I finally get my hands on an RC30 😄)...The GSXR is a brilliant bike, for sure quicker, & handles better than the ZXR.. They're relatively cheap to buy too so..get one bought 😉👍

[@gdfggggg]

While I absolutely love these 3, I’d take the TL1000R. That bike just looks the nuts, and the sound of that V twin 🤤

[@woooster71]

@@gdfggggg Cheers mate, well spotted! The TLR is an epic bike to look at, ride and listen to.. Mine has 15k miles and fitted with Yoshimura exhausts, & it sounds so good.. I love riding it, and setting off car alarms as I ride past! 😂 I appreciate the comment my friend 😎👍🏼

[@gdfggggg]

@@woooster71 I’m gonna get another machine at some point. It’s gonna be either a 916, a 748, a zzr14 or a tl100r, to compliment my zzr1100. Good times.

[@azharc123]

Very nice. I'd take the Fire blade out. The ZXR used to scare the living daylights out of me.

[@woooster71]

Cheers mate, the Fireblade is still a brilliant bike to ride, & a bit quicker than the ZXR 😉 They all ride great though, even today.. Appreciate the comment my friend 👍

[@MHLivestreams]

I found the forks made it a bit flighty, so would change them for newer upside down.

[@NWSTRX850]

Nice bikes. I have a 98 FireBlade and it's a good bike, handles well but the engine isn't the best. You need a 98 R1 to put things in perspective, it's on a different level.

[@woooster71]

Cheers mate, true.. the R1's engine steps all over the Blades.. I bought an '01 in 2002, px'd my 916 for it.. Nice bike, but wish I'd kept the 916 tbh, especially given prices now for them 💁‍♂️

[@b_the_lone_wolf]

All three are top bikes. I prefer carbs and the CBR is tops for me here. Thanks again for sharing!

[@woooster71]

Thank you brother for commenting 😎 I can’t disagree, the Blade is still a serious tool on the roads.. Love riding it! 😁🔥

[@b_the_lone_wolf]

Is there a way you could video a ride of your bikes for us who haven't ridden them? I vote for the Fireblade POV first. Cheers

[@woooster71]

@@b_the_lone_wolf Funny enough, I'm looking into getting a decent GoPro to do some riding videos 😊👍

[@hughjaanus6680]

I bought a new ZX10 and my friend bought a ZXR 750 back in 1990, they were the same price £8500 IR. He said he was going for handling, not power. We were riding at 60 mph along a straight country road, he got a huge tank slapper.

[@woooster71]

I had a similar experience in 1991 when I bought my first ZXR, and remember very well having a bar to bar end tank slap! The OG ZX10 was a beast of a bike too.. I had a GPZ1000RX 10 years ago, that predated the ZX10.. heavy bike, but quick in a straight line 😄👍

[@hughjaanus6680]

@@woooster71 The RX was a lemon, though my buddy loves them and has 6 of them now. I fitted a ZZR1100 block and head on my ZX10 and bored it to 1109cc, stage 7 Dynojet kit, and lots more. 138 at the wheel up from 118. The ZX headlight was the best ever with 100W or 140W mains. The ZX cracks the rear engine mounts. I had a GPZ900 with an Eagle 4-1 and a Ledar carb kit. Nothing could better my top speed, 750 turbo's, GSX-R 1100 slabbies etc. I hit 165mph on the clock. I have a 2020 S1000RR M Package now at 63 yo.

[@mmotorcycles9497]

How about that lineup. Amazing

[@woooster71]

Thank you bro.. I'd like to add a pinky YZF750 next, if I can find a nice one 😊

[@S.and.K-Works]

Zxr, because I have two🤣

[@woooster71]

@S.and.K-Works Brilliant, that's how it's done! 🙌😄 I quite like the idea of buying a red/black H1 as well 😁👍

[@S.and.K-Works]

@@woooster71 one totally standard, but with 57k on, and still on original clutch. The other been played with and close to TT specs, but with 17k on.😂 Both green.

[@MrKamechan]

Zx7 for me! I am biased, though, as I owned an H1 when I was 17. But I'm not a fan of the green mirrors on your otherwise beautiful example. OEM mirrors are black

[@woooster71]

@MrKamechan Cheers mate, it's my favourite bike for sure.. Not quite right re: mirrors though. H1 mirrors were black, regardless of the bike colour, red or green. H2 mirrors were colour coded, green mirrors, green bike...red mirrors, red bike Appreciate the comment 👍

[@MrKamechan]

@@woooster71 You learn something every day! (re: mirrors) Sorry, I had no idea that they color-coded the mirrors for the ZX7~! Come to think of it, my old ZX6e came with purple mirrors at the time...
