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?

@@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.

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 KZbin,

Riding without gloves!? First thing you put down when you fall, bare skin and tarmac even at walking pace, doesn't bear thinking about.

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.

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.

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

Yes I have already had my ticking off and accept it humbly. Quite right to pick up on it, I was being lazy and care free. I accept its not a good strategy. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Not holding the (left side) handlebar with your thumb under - VERY bad habit and VERY DANGEROUS!

@@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.
