Your channel is the only one I see with old bikes from the 80's and 90's. I have a 1989 Yamaha FZR1000. I paid $5200 for it in 2014. It only had 4,002 miles on it and had just had a $1500 service. I have 28,000 miles on it now and am about to do a major service on it. Was thinking of buying a used 2016 R1M but love my oldie to much.

Oof, that YZF either is wayyyy too rich in the carbs, the intake valves need proper adjustment, or worse the valve seals and/or piston rings are on the way out! Smoke screen machine! Great video though, surprisingly close indeed, thought the blade would crush the 750.

Yea those blades were not quite as good compared to other bikes of the time, still pretty quick and kind of nice looking 😂 You need to stop sleeping on the Kawasaki ZX9r's (none ever featured anywhere, and rarely even mentioned), very underrated bikes, obvs the Y2k+ models were the best overall, but the earlier bikes were still great. Especially the 98-99 C1+C2 being the first production bike to do the 1/4 mile under 10 secs, 9.9 @ 136mph, 0-60 3 secs. I think you'd be very surprised and wonder why you were not already a big fan of those gorgeous beasts! 😄👍
