    I have a '14 CTX 1300. The ST 1300 engine is detuned in HP, but bumped up to locomotive torque. Passing power in top gear is quite satisfying. It's weird, and I've never seen another one on the road. I'm keeping it, because resale value is near zero.

    I'll take up defence of the Quasar with some force!
    If you've never ridden one you'll never understand. I first encountered Malcolm Newell at the London motorcycle show. A lovely cheerful chap who knew his engineering. He kindly demonstrated then with /my/ girlfriend, how comfortable and cosy it was with a passenger, since you lent gently onto the pillion. I later had a chance to try that on one trip and, indeed, both people are comfortable.
    A few years later my great riding buddy acquired one of the machines which he had for a season in a stable of others. Riding it a few times, I borrowed it for a long weekend on one occasion. I covered a fair few miles including open dual roads, twisty back roads and an unplanned trip right through the centre of London (in the days before traffic restrictions).
    Much to the reputation it had from anyone who experienced it, it was an exceptionally capable machine in all those places. The restricted view was not an issue and the pillars up front no worse than driving any car and you worked around anything needed. In city traffic it was quite manageable and could lane split as well as any large capacity bike (my regular ride in London was a wider, pannier loaded R100RT).
    The Reliant car engine on most of the Quasars was not a super performer, but give the lighter nature of the Quasar, propelled it to three figures fairly easily and it would easily cruise up at 80-90mph. Some of the later machines and it's derivatives like the Phaser had some real superbike power engines strapped into them.
    On a back road it was surprisingly agile and again could cope with most other superbikes wrestling there.
    It was so able and so taken with it, had I had the funds I would have bought it when he sold it.
    If you base opinions on looks alone and a few articles from people who covered very limited miles on the Quasar, you do it a great disservice.

    @dumptrump3788 7 месяцев назад +7

    1:04 It's hard to understand quite why the RD350 was so scary, when all the Exorcist vibes went with the Kawasaki triples, but the Yamaha had a fish-hook shaped power curve, brakes that were awful AT BEST & almost absent in the wet....except when they suddenly locked up, all matched to a frame that had a lot more in common with an advanced Yoga class than actually staying rigid.

  • @ganiqwest
    @ganiqwest 7 месяцев назад +2

    The GTS was a WONDERFUL bike, I had 2 and put over 150K miles on them.
    The problems with the bike were the result of Yamaha and James Parker not seeing eye to eye on the program.
    In Europe they still command a following and you can find great examples for easy money.
    Show up at a biker bar (Cook's Corner or the Rock Store for example) and it quickly generates a crowd.
    Yamaha tried to do too many NEW things with the design, obviously the front suspension but also it had a version of ABS WAYYY before everyone.
    And Fuel Injection.
    If some builder wanted to make a really cool bike from factory parts, get the driveline from a FJR 1300 shaft drive, and adapt the single sided REAR swing arm from a BMW to that.
    Original GTS' had 5sp trans and chain final drive.
    The FJR has fully sorted ABS, cruise control, fuel Injection and 6 gears.
    Build a tank like KTM's 790/890 getting more fuel down low (GTS barely had 2 gallons)
    And add some folding mirrors, you cannot get the originals anymore.
    There is a decent example for sale in Bozeman MT under 5K.
    Ride one , they are very nice.

    Hey! Nice to hear that your family has ties to Brazil!
    Lived there with my parents from '75 to '81.
    The car market was crazy. We had a Fusca, then an imported BMW 320 (as foreigners, we could - by exception - bring in our own car) and after selling that for HUGE profit, my dad bought a Ford Corcel LDO for himself and a Fiat 147 for my mother.

    • @NBSV1
      @NBSV1 7 месяцев назад +1

      Without doors and windows you’re still gonna get wet in the rain. Especially with such a small windshield area. Vehicles like that basically end up both being a bad motorcycle and a bad car.

    Many moons ago I had an RD350. That bike was great. Easy to work on and fun to ride. The one bad thing was if the oil I was able to get was the cheap kind it smoked a lot. Also if I was in the city on stop and go when I got to highway any oil I had would smoke a lot for the first 2 to 3 miles.

    My dad raced a TL1000R for a season and that bike decided to high side him in such spectacular fashion it ended his racing career. He was pretty messed up and I’ll never forget. This happened on a track during practice. Seeing my pop getting launched 15’ in the air while doing 90 around a corner was kind of surreal as a teenager.

  • @EmonWBKstudios
    @EmonWBKstudios 7 месяцев назад +1

    The Quasar is one of the greatest designs ever put forward. Far too ahead of its time, but it lays the foundation for how motorcycles SHOULD be built. You don't ride the cycle, you BECOME the cycle.

  • @samebert4344
    @samebert4344 7 месяцев назад +2

    Maybe the RD350 wasn't such a great bike for Brazil and other countries where most bikes are small and most roads aren't as smooth or open as we have in the USA. However, if you have not ridden one I HIGHLY recommend it! It is absolutely one of the most fun bikes I've ever ridden and I would love to own one. They're quick and the power band is super fun to get in and out of on the street, but it doesn't make so much power by todays standards that an experienced rider would get into trouble on one today.
    I've never ridden, let alone heard of, the Yamaha GTS 1000. But I have ridden many bikes with no front fork. BMW really loves the concept and keeps improving the idea. I think the first bike to have it was the K1200S with it's Duolever setup which is still in use on the K1600 series of bikes with very little changes, and Honda basically ripped off the design with the last update to the Goldwing. I personally love that suspension setup on the road but it is definitely heavy and not great for racing.
    Also, an interesting bit of knowledge is that BMW's Telelever front suspension (you know, the bikes with a shock and forks up front) is basically a forkless suspension as well. Yes there are forks there, yes there is oil in them, but no they don't really do much aside from steer the front wheel. Virtually all of the suspension characteristics are controlled by that shock and there's no springs, dampers, or any suspension components at all in those forks. Just oil and air sloshing around. And that suspension has been on their bikes from 1993, with the R1100's, all the way to today with all of the R1250 series boxers.

  • @greatbigeye2506
    @greatbigeye2506 7 месяцев назад +1

    With some improvements and modern tech the Quasar could be a great bike! Cross winds would still get ya though.
    Oh, having the fuel tank under the seat is brilliant because it puts more weight low in the frame. Examples- Harley’s new liquid cooled engine Sportster/Nightster.

    I am pretty much with you on most of these... but I will make an exception for the Yamaha GTS... it was not a bad idea... just on the wrong bike... Bimota did it right with the Tesi... but that said, i would be happy to own a GTS... Also I sorta like the Honda V4 CX whatever it was... never actually rode one mind you... but would happily give it a try... I like the look of the beast anyway... but even here in Japan it was just too damned expensive...the ST it was replacing is still much missed...

    Your next episode of cursed motorcycles should include Hesketh. A weird British bike built by an aristocrat who was nearly bankrupted by the project. It had some charm but rattled badly due to the pistons being installed backwards because the cylinder was designed by a different person to the head and they didn't like each other. Hesketh was reincarnated a few years ago but promptly went bust again after developing one model which actually looked quite nice but was too expensive

    Hey, a car topic I can actually contribute to. Not only were the original VW Beetles huge in Brazil, (I believe they were produced there until the 90s) but VW continues to be the default car brand there. The vast majority of enthusiast and tuned cars are VWs. I guess they produce a lot of them there and the import duties on foreign cars are crazy.

      Had an SV1000 as my daily ride for years. Brilliant bike. Aside from one little oddity... If you stopped at hte lights in rain, the shape of the fuel tank collected water on top that was then dumped down onto the exhaust. You then got a steam bath which misted up the visor instantly. Still...the noise was worth it!

I almost bought one, until I did a internet deepdive on posts from former owners of the CTX. No thanks. Complain about a chain but they are super easy to maintain and replace. But for a shaft drive touring legend, The FJR is a bike that took the CTX's place on my list. I have seen some insane good deals on used FJR's.

I can remember a review of the Suzuki which the reviewer said why bother with the turbo just put a bigger engine in the bike and give the owner some turbo stickers . These days the turbo bikes are collectors bikes and go for strong money but it was a fad like anti dive that came and went very quickly.

    80hp from a 1261cc engine is just fine *for Honda*, as they're more concerned about bulletproof reliability.
    Odd choice though since it's a 750lb bike.
    Honestly the strangest part is just the fact it's a V4. Who tf uses a V4 for *anything*?
    Given the design, an inline 4 looks like it would have fit perfectly. Or alternatively use a flat 4 derived from the Goldwing.

    You are totally wrong about front fork alternatives being "a solution to a non-existing problem". There is a _huge problem_ with forks and steering geometry being intertwined (ie. The length of a motorcycle dynamically changing and those changes being integral to the actual _steering_ of the vehicle). As riders we just get used to this and accept it. However, many designs have been tried, and many actually work (including the Yamaha GTS and BMW's Telelever, fitted to many of their boxer models). Think Bimota, or the worlds best handling motorcycle ever (per professional riders like Guy Martin, etc.) the Britten V1000.
    The problem is cost and maintenance. This is the main factor that prevents manufacturers from outright abandoning the telescopic fork. The Yamaha, and to an extent the BMW, systems are _different_ but not _worse._ Being pulled is probably due to low sales (directly because of said difference - think VFR1200F, due to mainly design differences) and emmisions, not due to any _actual danger_ resulting from the design.

    RD350s are, and always will be, classic bikes and highly desirable no matter what this kid thinks. The GTS1000 wasn't a bad bike either; just a bit radical for generally conservative bikers. Forkless front ends doesn't seem to have stopped BMW selling thousands of GSs et al.

    16:02 "A forkless bike is a solution to solve the problem no one have"
    Actually not true. No two springs are ever the same and that's why some people experimented with single front suspension, to prevent tank slaps. However, this problem is relative minor* and the answer is expensive so no one solved it.
    *for most riders and effectively 99% motorcycles in existence

    • @PatrickvanderDeijl
      @PatrickvanderDeijl 7 месяцев назад +1

      True. But the almost horizontal suspension also prevented the bike from diving forward. And oh, if they had only used a cardan shaft, it would probably be a greater hit. Because the bik was heavy, but drove beautiful. I've had one for about 5-7 years and loved riding it. And there were always people who wanted to see the front up close.
