The K5 and K6 GSX-R1000 should not have been omitted from this list.
agreed indeed! 👍👌
Right
K5 the real beast !!!
The Honda 954 Fireblade, was one of my favourite bikes from a few years back.
Scalpel sharp and as light as a 600cc sports bike
One of the best power to weight ratio motorcycles ever made, fun fact the guy who made the 929 & 954 crashed every test bike he rode 😂
Was a good road bike too. Not just a track weapon.
Nice bike, rode one, once, however, the 98 R1 blew the Fireblade, away.
Can’t find em here in Australia.
Was in the market for a new R1 in 2009. But the first year of the cross plane didn't tickle my pickle. So instead I bought a leftover new 2008 that was heavily discounted. Great bike!!
Just got myself a TL 1000 R from 2000. Lovley piece.
My fav was the updated R1 in 2012. I've owned 3 of them. Crossplane is the best. But honestly you can't go wrong with any R1
It was updated in 2009 not 2012...they just add tc after.that is all
@@pc-easy wrong the refresh or update was in 2012 do your research the front-end is different and yamaha added TC
New piastra di sterzo, nel terminal, new pedane, tcs, new front, new cupolino.
@@stephencarbajal5657the Yamaha R1 changed from flat plane engine to cross plane engine in 2009. In 2012 they changed the front (cosmetic) and added TC.
Anyway, how did you get on with your 2012 R1? Do you still have it?
@@darkknight17 yea I know the crossplane went into the R1 in 2009, the update I was referring to was to the front-end as well as the addition to TC as far as my thoughts? They're great bikes and I'd love another one but being so dated now it'll be hard to find a low mile one?
I disagree with you about the looks. Here in the UK and in Europe this bug eyed as we call it was extremely popular. Some, myself included, consider it to be the prettiest R1 ever especially in the stealth grey paint.
Agreed
Seriously ? Have you ever seen the 98/99, or the 04. 05.06, in person ?
Thank you for the trip down memory lane!!!....... yep, some great machines we had in these days, it seems that they were more affordable than nowadays, simpler & more fun perhaps ??...hahaha, perhaps it is nostalgia...🤫 bonsoir manne, keep up the good work!
"This bike will not hold a candle to any of the modern bikes" - Weeell, in a way perhaps not. But it isn't that far either. Check out Zach and Ari's RevZilla video on the GSX-R1000 vs Ducati V4.
That was such a good video
SRAD ❤️ Amazing how capable they still are on decent tyres had 5 over the years absolutely wonderful motorcycle.
The 2009 Yamaha R1 is my favorite hands down I love the look of it!
This should be a series you guys make for various bikes
I think you under sold the best superbike of all the GSXR1000. The '08 version is my favourite
When you discus prices, could you kindly please add EUR or USD equivalent on the screen?
Just bought a 09 with 6k miles on the clock can’t wait to take delivery next week
Nice video and thanks for the memories as I’ve owned each and every single bike you have mentioned when they were brand new. I also had the same first liquid cooled GSXR-750 (also ended up racing one) and purchased a Fireblade foot the road. I was also glad to have gotten to know the “go show” AKA Anthony Gobert as I raced against him in the Australian 250 cc production class (when he became Australian champion in that category). As Phillip Island was my home race track I was also fortunate to see and be on track when he won his first ever WSB race (I was still in the 250 class) so I got to watch his race from on top of the pit bays, where you can actually see 85% of the track. Thanks for bringing back those memories. The 916 was actually a hot and difficult bike to ride with any confidence so I didn’t keep my new one of those for long. Still a great looking bike even today. On that note I was also 200 metres behind Foggy when he had his famous crash at PI, in a spot on the track that I’m still yet to see another rider come off. 👍😎🇦🇺
This is an excellent dissertation. Excellent ! R1-05. Previously 98 R1. 04, 05, 06 Remain the lightest R1s.
Of all the bikes you mentioned, they are actually affordable except one: the Honda SP1 / SP2. At least here in Spain. And yes, as a proud owner of a TL 1000 R, I was nearly shouting at my laptop screen…until you mentioned the TL family. Thanks for that and thanks for your always worth it videos.
I used to have a GSXR600 SRAD 1994 loved it!
Absolutely in LOVE with my 2011
What a brilliant video, i love listening to Mat talking about old bikes, i have almost the same taste to them old bikes.
"the person we have to thank for this is Valentino Rossi."
didn't know dude was an engineer
It was actually Carlos checa and Alex Barros who developed the cross plane engine for moto gp.
the 2012 R1 looks way better then the '09.....that's the crossplane to have!
06 yamaha rn12 is one of the most underrated motorcycle in early thousands in my point of view, however after owing one its truly rowe 👌 beast
Great episode! You should do this for all category's of bikes!!
I know it’s a bike show (great one at that) but have to applaud that book collection Mat 👏
Great episode !!!A test of the greats side by side would be awesome. Best Yamaha R1 ,best gsxr k5/6, Honda 954, best kawa the 05. 👊🏾✊🏾
at 7:16 i began getting green vibes while listening to those qualities 😂😂 coz even I've bookmarked a couple of them on OLX India right now 😎😎
that particular bike is a masterpiece.... 🥰🥰
Yamaha makes a nice looking bike but I'm a a fan of the CBR I always have been
Awesome summary thanks Guys! I’m quite young at just over 30 so my experience with bikes isn’t that well. I’m not a fan of 1000cc Machines. Can you do the same with the Yamaha R6 for us please I prefer that model 😎🤓
Thanks for the video, always interesting and enjoyable to watch 👍
1:30 Put it in "Mode A", not in Standard :D
Damn straight about the ZX-7R. Still one of the prettiest superbikes out there for me. :)
Bery nice bike
More videos like this please!!!
R1 this look is killer😍😘
this man is roasting the r1, I'm laughing my butt off!
Kermit R1 had me looooool
Love my gen 1 Zx10r super bike 👍
"This bike is not fast"...shifts in 8 000 RPM.... Clown :D
05 R1
Toprak Razgatlioglu translates too Topshelf Spaghetti 🤣🤣
Good review TY
I really love the 2009 R1. 😍Hope I can find a nice deal in my country . its aaalso the last undeerttail exhaust R1 moodel
The guy won 2021 superbike is Toprak Razgatlioglu
Enjoyed that vid
I have the 09 Rossi and it's a bullet. Yours is missing the titanium/carbon fibre akra system, gold levers and bar ends, might be a UK thing? The Aussie one I have is way too fast. 😂
I think your list is mostly the same as mine:
ZXR750J or P models (double ducts or the 96+ version, which is named ZX7R in EU)
FIreblade from 96 (with the shark gills on the butt)
SRAD bumblebee GSXR
'09 R1
VRT SP1 & 2
RSV Mille
First gen zx6r
Duc 748
I have a 1996 srad I love that bike I got a few videos up on hear of it
just sold my 03 RSV Mille sadly, had #22 ever made that year and got it two years ago with only 1,100 miles lol it had 20.5k miles on it and i will buy a R Version later in life i promise you that!
Thats pretty rude to not able to pronounce a wsbk champion and to dismiss him like that
The trick probably is to find the garage queen the previous owner(s) DIDNT try to improve in various ways or if they did at least hung on to all the original bits and didnt cut and drill stuff. The sad thing there is there really are some well deserved improvements but you would just rather find bone stock with low miles if collecting is in mind
1st gen cross planes were notoriously overweight.
Hi Mat,where u get your t-shirt?
Would love to buy a Honda VTR1000 SP2 but boy they are expensive these days
There needs to be more modern v twins in sports and naked bikes. That aren't ducati lol
The V twin feel I think is the best.
@@callumjohnson9433 totally agree !
if only ktm still made the RC8 but in different engine displacements from 990cc-1301cc, ducati would spit out there coffee and cigarette smoke in an instant lmao.
Always hear people talk about the rc8. Definitely a modern classic
@@callumjohnson9433 I work at a Ktm dealership lol but only seen 2 RC8’s in person and even the new RC8C but the 1290 SDR’s are getting a little played out… I mean like everyone and there momma has one lol
Just sold my 03 Aprilia RSV MILLE 😭, I will miss that bike dearly as it was my 2nd motorcycle I ever bought🔥 if you can find one…BUY IT! It’s heavier than a 916/996/998 but the dash setup and reliability for a rotax Vtwin is unbeatable (Modern Classic indeed!) his name is Toprak 🤦🏾♂️ shouldn’t be riding a Yamaha if you don’t know who he is smfh…
The 2009 R1 is the worst R1 for me. Fueling was great in the upper rev range, but terrible lurching low down. Also let down with a too soft front end when going hard in the twisties.
Still have a scar on my nose from from a '98 Fireblade - great bike though.😂
I had the 2006 wheelbarrow ZX10R - liked it on the road - terrible on track. My mistake buy which I had to live with for a few years. Should have bought a K6.
Loved my 2011 ZX10R - now loving my '21 Gix thou.
But did you ride it in A mode?
I think because of the cross plane engine current generation of yamaha r1 is the only bike that has soule all the other bikes are just re just bikes even the italian ons
The R1 wishes it has as much soul as Aprilia's V4... ;-)
@@AlexandreBlondin lol that cp4 has just as much soul as that 65 degree V4
(one sounds like its singing and the other sounds like a autotuned version of it lmao),
i work at an aprilia dealer and i would take a yamaha over any italian bike always!
(stay away from the rs6shitty!)
Test rode à multistrada V4 the other day. Was like a laptop. Modern bikes are like the modern world, a bit boring.
Great review of a true classic .. but Does that mean a CBR1000 painted in Márquez colours would be that much better ..
seeing he beat Rossi 58 times to Rossi’s 10 in their head to heads.
but the Cross plane motors are deceiving just like all the MT series.
Well seeing that Marquez has done nowhere near as much for the sport itself and was in his prime when racing a Rossi well near the end of his much longer career. Probably not lmao. I like Marquez too but that’s a ridiculous comparison 😂
nobody covers the '04-'05 gsxr-750
Rossi, yeah, I believe you
I have 2010 without cats. Breaks necks everywhere.
You miss the Zx9r
Don’t think you are anyone to judge a bike,
190hp and its not that fast compared to a modern bike, Whaaaaaaat! I do not live in this world of motorcycles, 110hp feels pretty fast to me!
Don’t let this dude fool you it’s fucking fast 😂😂
Who needs a numberplate? Not cool Don. It's a legal requirement.
Pristine.
Different use of that word, i guess!
WRONG!
there's no other!
Great bike but it's a 2010 not 2009
🇰🇪🇰🇪👏👏👏
It's ugly, I like the 2004 - 2008 model better.
Ok Boomer.
the presenter really needs to go on a diet, just about as much as the bike does HAR HAR
