@@mrr1756 you must be 15. if you were around in the 90s, you would have been getting smoked by every gsxr. And it certainly has changed. I had a 94 750 black and purple. Essentially a track bike sitting position. Only the best riders could ride it near its limits.
Thanks for saving me the bother of pointing out that the one of the best (if not *the* best) road bikes of the 90s didn't even rate a mention in this "Best of the 90s" vid. All-round versatility, built to last, consummate road manners. It tours, it scratches, it commutes and it'll do 150mph.
Yeah the choices they made with what bikes they presented is kind of bizarre. It's like they were bored and walked around their shop to talk about what they had. They talk about an R1 but that wasn't even around until the end of the 90's. The talk as if they are a show/series, but I definitely wont be seeking any of their other shows out..
Not a SINGLE Suzuki model mentioned... well, it's hard to see this channel as objective from this point. You talk about bikes such as the Thundercat (!!!) and not saying the letters: G S X R a single time. Really disappointing, but the complete lack of Suzukis might have something else in the background...
They're probably all broken, like the ones I come across. I'd never dare step from a Honda/Yamaha to a Suzuki. Riding feel is top notch, reliability comes as more of a priority
I bought a new R6 in 1999 loved it so i sold it for a 2001 R1 really loved those machines. In 2004 i sold them and bought a ZX9R and I’ve been a mean green fan since
+Bucky96570 zx7r and the yamaha r7 were the best looking. The wsb speakers have brought that up many times. the 900r has a weird front and wasn't even able to race wsb
+Arlind86 Agreed! no one can get away with green white blue and pink like Kawasaki and lets face it the r7 is rare beautiful and still about or over 20grand....
The best looking bike was the gsxr750 and 1100 from the year 1990. I had a 90 which I bought new. The best overall bike of the 90s would have to be the zx11, but I could be biased since I now own a 1991 zx11 and ride every day.
Late 90's was amazing...ZX-9R...TL1000R...GIXXER750...YZF-R1...FUCK BLADE..R7...THE BUS..BLACKBIRD,. DUKE... APPRILIA, der... ZZR100!,,Personally after many years of KWAKS, i got a 2000 R1,and it blew me away!..Now back on a kwak,but i miss the R1 days,she taught me so much...loony bike...HEE(total respect to TL1000R though),if only i was taller,AGHHH,just love how they go and sound!!
My first bike was a 1990 Honda RC30. I bought a second one in 2012 and still love them. I recently bought a 95 Ducati 916. I have an 848 evo but really enjoy the older ones. Looking to buy an older GXSR soon. Love the late 80s and early 90s sport bikes.
I agree on GSXR! I loved my 98 750!! The bike always asked for more than I was willing to give LOL. I only like vintage sport bikes. My current one is a ‘98 900RR hiding under all ‘93 body work. Only 7,500 miles and minty stock black. My sons bike is a ‘94 ZX7R that still rides nice and tight.
I have an R1 and agree it was an amazing bike But 1990 saw the introduction of the Hayabusa.. The bike that broke every understanding of speed and acceleration and started the modern speed war. I am also fortunate enough to own a ZX14 and giggle every time I twist the throttle.
I had a '94 CBR900RR. It was a mould-breaker, but the 16 inch front wheel was a mistake. The handling, apologists talked about quick turn-in, was poor with zero feedback. People were replacing the wheel or fitting different triple clamps, but nothing cured it. I sold it 5 years later in favour of an R1 which was night and day better, in fact, the best bike I ever owned, with apologies to my current 1290 SAS which is a terrific machine.
I been wanting a 91 ZZR 1100 since I saw it for the first time, finally got one 2,5 year ago. Was so facinated by it, that I bought one more, just to have a spare, if one of them should break down. Now I have 3

I think this video should be called best * sportsbikes * of the 1990s.

Also what about the Suzuki SV650 came out in 1999 and they're quite popular.

@@steveharveysteveharvey2867 I've just bought a mint 1999 model. FSH AND EVERY SINGLE RECEIPT of work carried out on it for £2500. It's an amazing machine. Don't know why people spend silly money on new bikes?! These early blades have enough power to smash speed limits in 1st gear in the blink of an eye. Why would you need a modern 200bhp besides entering a dick slinging contest down the pub?
Glad to see some of my bikes there. Always been partial to 90's bikes, especially the rarer oddballs of the bunch. Current stable includes..... 91 GSF400 Bandit 92 FZR1000 EXUP 93 TDM850 93 VN1500 93 KLX650R
You missed one 90ies Sports Bike. I fucked all the Fireblades and 916 (chipped, superexpesive versions, doesn'matter) and CBR600 on the race track with a 100% stock Kawasaki ZX9R (ZX900B). And... Triumph what?
The Suzuki snub must've been deliberate?!...🤔 The Hayabusa is a speed king and is still revered even 23 years on from it's conception. People rightly rave about it and it has become a 'cult status' machine! The 1990 GSX-R1100 L was a main rival for the FZR1000 exup, also the liquid cooled GSX-R1100's (1993-1998) haven't been mentioned and they were a constant thorn in the side of the ZZR1100's. Obviously the GSX-R750 and 600 SRAD (1996-1999) haven't had a well deserved nod from these two either! Then again... they never introduced the Yamaha YZF750 R/SP (1993-1998) which was arguably a better bike than the fireblade, it was just unfortunate to have been made a year after the blade was catapulted in to the world! Despite how fantastic both the fireblade and the R1 are, i find them to be very overrated!! I'd personally have a ZX-9R over a blade or an R1 and that was another machine which wasn't given the 90's motorbike red-carpet tribute!
Hayabusa?? GSXR 750?? GSXR 1100?? TL1000S?? Honda RC45?? Honda NC35?? Aprilia RSV Mille?? Aprilia RS 250??..... Hey, I don't know everything but bugger me I am suprised that none of these were on the list!! Every lad growing up in the 90's had posters of these on their walls!! As well as some big jugged bird from Street Fighters magazine.... Come on, you all know what I am talking about!!
This list is subjective, these are the bikes the presenters think are the best of the nineties, not the bikes that you all think are the best. If you disagree with their choices, then make your own video where you can showcase the bikes you believe were the best. I rode most of the bikes on this list at one point or another, including owning a '94 ZXR750 and a '96 SRAD, I still have a ' R1 and a 2001 GSX-R750. All the bikes had positives and negatives and it was down to each rider to determine their own personal ones. The pre SRAD GSX-R's were okay, but I found that if you really pushed them hard, they felt like they had a hinge in the middle, the perimeter frame just wasn't good enough for all the power if you tried to really 'get on it'. The Triumph has incredible handling, but only up to a certain amount, the 916 handled fantastically, but only had about 109 bhp and it always seemed to be in the wrong gear. For example, third would be trying to spit you off, but if I changed to fourth, it felt like there was no power. the CBR600 was like a Mazda MX-5, a sports bike that anyone could ride, but was too soft for anyone who could push the limits of it. I rode my brother in law's 2004 CBR600f and I got frustrated by the lack of power and sharpness when I tried to ride it hard. But these are my experiences and views, which will be completely different from your own and also from the two guys in this video.
Suzuki are the best bikes blew all the other bikes away with my first GSX 1100 and then GSXR 1100 also have a GT750.I must add there are a good bike from every make of bike each to every ones liking,but to exclude the suzuki brand,total BS.Dont think you are bikers,rather wankers.
Wow what a farce that was!!! A best bikes of the 90’s and no 1991 GSXR 1100 or 1996 GSXR 750 SRAD????? How about the RGV250???? Totally dropped the ball on this ladies!!!
It's a shame that all these throwback videos focus mainly on sports bikes. Some of us don't look twice at them, but they feature almost exclusively. It's almost like you are implying bikes which are not sports bikes are garbage. Sports bikes are not the best bikes of any generation, unless all you want is speed. Like when you got to the Ducati, I skipped it, and many others. .... Yawn yawn.
I'm a 46 years old guy in a 1990 kawasaki ninja zx10 smoking kids left and right. Don't like the new bikes they feel and handle super light . Good luck going over 130 and a paper bike . I still can do 160 mph straight in mine no problem this 600 pounds beast is steady as a rock.
Yeah I guess Suzuki didn't produce any worthy bikes in the 90's. No wait how do you spell Hyabusa? What a crock of horse shit. Men and Motors? Myopic old Men and their Mindless Meanderings more like
It seems the ignore the brand Suzuki totally in this clip, for whatever reason and if you like it or not, the GSX (R) belongs to it as well as all the Fireblades, R1s and ZXRs....
Yeh no suzuki's this list mean's nothing n thats coming from a bloke who rides a zx12r a1 and is completely yamaha r1 spoilt! Two thundercats am not a gsxr fan but jus no....
If the comments are accurate and this video never even mentions the gsxr, then it's pointless to keep watching. If you managed to forget or ignore a bike that well known, your video is garbage. And no, I don't even own a Suzuki.
What the heck? No Suzuki? Everything you talked about was about FAST bikes and in 1999 The Suzuki Hayabusa could blow everything all to Hell and no mention of it? Men and Motors give your head a shake!
The Kawasaki Zx-11 is severely underrated today. I took mine on a 2600 mile trip from Iowa to New Mexico with no problems. I alternate riding the 99 Zx-11 with a 2006 VFR, utilizing the VFR for shorter 300 mile rides :)
***** well the vf bikes were introduced in 1982 so not really bikes of the 90s.... i suppose though there were so many awesome machines built in the 90s that this list could be five times longer than it was
What kind of a shop is that and why do they have so many older bikes in perfect showroom condition? I'm not sure if I missed it as I've been watching this at work in bits and pieces.
I have owned them all, ZX7R K1, three 1991 GSXR 1100s, FZR etc. Hands down the 98 R1 from the 90s without question. Best bike of the ninties .... Barring the rare homogated an RC30, yep just got one! or R7 ....

A colleague of mine had a ZX7-R and he said it was the most fun bike he ever owned. He maxed out a few times with no problems.
Fantastic bike to ride, as was its predecessor the zxr750, which i think i may just prefer....just, maybe it was the hoover pipe air intakes😊
Wicked video, I love seeing these old clips. I'm surprised that the VFR800 wasn't mentioned though.

Hayabusa?? GSXR 750?? GSXR 1100?? TL1000S?? Honda RC45?? Honda NC35?? Aprilia RSV Mille?? Aprilia RS 250??..... Hey, I don't know everything but bugger me I am suprised that none of these were on the list!! Every lad growing up in the 90's had posters of these on their walls!! As well as some big jugged bird from Street Fighters magazine.... Come on, you all know what I am talking about!!
zx-7r! OH MY FG How I wanted one of those.
GET ONE!
I still have my 98 ZX11 that i bought in 01.... amazing machine!!
This list is subjective, these are the bikes the presenters think are the best of the nineties, not the bikes that you all think are the best. If you disagree with their choices, then make your own video where you can showcase the bikes you believe were the best. I rode most of the bikes on this list at one point or another, including owning a '94 ZXR750 and a '96 SRAD, I still have a ' R1 and a 2001 GSX-R750. All the bikes had positives and negatives and it was down to each rider to determine their own personal ones. The pre SRAD GSX-R's were okay, but I found that if you really pushed them hard, they felt like they had a hinge in the middle, the perimeter frame just wasn't good enough for all the power if you tried to really 'get on it'. The Triumph has incredible handling, but only up to a certain amount, the 916 handled fantastically, but only had about 109 bhp and it always seemed to be in the wrong gear. For example, third would be trying to spit you off, but if I changed to fourth, it felt like there was no power. the CBR600 was like a Mazda MX-5, a sports bike that anyone could ride, but was too soft for anyone who could push the limits of it. I rode my brother in law's 2004 CBR600f and I got frustrated by the lack of power and sharpness when I tried to ride it hard. But these are my experiences and views, which will be completely different from your own and also from the two guys in this video.
Suzuki are the best bikes blew all the other bikes away with my first GSX 1100 and then GSXR 1100 also have a GT750.I must add there are a good bike from every make of bike each to every ones liking,but to exclude the suzuki brand,total BS.Dont think you are bikers,rather wankers.
Wow what a farce that was!!! A best bikes of the 90’s and no 1991 GSXR 1100 or 1996 GSXR 750 SRAD????? How about the RGV250???? Totally dropped the ball on this ladies!!!
It's a shame that all these throwback videos focus mainly on sports bikes. Some of us don't look twice at them, but they feature almost exclusively.
It's almost like you are implying bikes which are not sports bikes are garbage.
Sports bikes are not the best bikes of any generation, unless all you want is speed.
Like when you got to the Ducati, I skipped it, and many others. .... Yawn yawn.
I'm a 46 years old guy in a 1990 kawasaki ninja zx10 smoking kids left and right.
Don't like the new bikes they feel and handle super light .
Good luck going over 130 and a paper bike .
I still can do 160 mph straight in mine no problem this 600 pounds beast is steady as a rock.
Wheres the GSXR!
why best bikes you refered was only big engines? what about the 500, 600 & 750´s? (GSXR, EX, GPZ, CBR 1000, ZX7, FZR400, VFR)
Yeah I guess Suzuki didn't produce any worthy bikes in the 90's. No wait how do you spell Hyabusa? What a crock of horse shit. Men and Motors? Myopic old Men and their Mindless Meanderings more like
90 ninja zxr 750 didn't have ram air, the hover pipes through the tank just blew air on the engine for cooling purposes...
I know, I have one....
WTF The most popular 1980-1990s bike was a gsxr-750
These guys have obviously never heard of a Suzuki Hayabusa. It's only the fastest production motorcycle ever. In fact, no Suzuki bike was mentioned!
It seems the ignore the brand Suzuki totally in this clip, for whatever reason and if you like it or not, the GSX (R) belongs to it as well as all the Fireblades, R1s and ZXRs....
Yeh no suzuki's this list mean's nothing n thats coming from a bloke who rides a zx12r a1 and is completely yamaha r1 spoilt! Two thundercats am not a gsxr fan but jus no....
If the comments are accurate and this video never even mentions the gsxr, then it's pointless to keep watching. If you managed to forget or ignore a bike that well known, your video is garbage. And no, I don't even own a Suzuki.
How about the suzuki gt 380 three cylinder. 2 stroke, ram air head , six speed. I smoke bikes twice as big daily.
how the fuck did he forget about 1996 gsxr srad. a 750 that would trade punches with a 900 fireblade all day long
No GSXRs what is this!!! ive got the 1991 gsxr1100 and 2 gsxr750M and L best ever!!!
What the heck? No Suzuki? Everything you talked about was about FAST bikes and in 1999 The Suzuki Hayabusa could blow everything all to Hell and no mention of it? Men and Motors give your head a shake!
I'm confused. This looks like it's filmed in the 60s and they are talking about future bikes in the past tense. Help
The Kawasaki Zx-11 is severely underrated today. I took mine on a 2600 mile trip from Iowa to New Mexico with no problems.
I alternate riding the 99 Zx-11 with a 2006 VFR, utilizing the VFR for shorter 300 mile rides :)
I noticed the same, not many check out my ZZR 1100 at meetings, I just laugh inside knowing that I can race and win over most of the bikes there
Hey , wich one do you prefrer between your zx11 and vfr ?
@@lefixuss4208 So my original vfr 800 was stolen so i now have a 1200VFR. Originally i preferred the Zx11, the larger vfr 1200 has evened the score.
But. I. Have. A. Kawasaki zx750rr. And. Need. Help. With. Parts.
Very surprised Honda VF/VFR Interceptor series wasn't mentioned...
***** well the vf bikes were introduced in 1982 so not really bikes of the 90s....
i suppose though there were so many awesome machines built in the 90s that this list could be five times longer than it was
True that.
Irrelevant. The VFR (introduced 1986) was *THE* roadbike of the 90s.
What kind of a shop is that and why do they have so many older bikes in perfect showroom condition? I'm not sure if I missed it as I've been watching this at work in bits and pieces.
John Jacob it was filmed in 2000 thats why.
I have owned them all, ZX7R K1, three 1991 GSXR 1100s, FZR etc. Hands down the 98 R1 from the 90s without question. Best bike of the ninties .... Barring the rare homogated an RC30, yep just got one! or R7 ....
No SRAD, no Hayabusa, no APRILIAS? Bullshit.
And you missed the VFR 750 F RC36.... How is it possible?....
How on earth did you not include the vfr 750 i don't think you know your bikes as well as you think you do
