One of your best videos. So many of the bikes were on my bedroom wall as a teenager. The only one I got to try was the H3 500 Kwaka. It scared the living hell out of me. You wait for the power and then it all arrives as a huge great lump and tries to throw you off the back of the bike. A crazy machine. Thanks for all your great work.
cheers mate, much appreciated comment, glad you enjoyed it, i do my best, there is a raw sound version on the back up channel that needs some love too 🙂 have a great week
Thank you for another really well put together video. My era is the late 70's 80's. Had a few of the beautiful oil burning 2 strokes😂 Raced grasstrack and after mx, off road bikes still interest me. Have a couple that I still play on. Anyhow keep up the great work.
Excellent video my friend 👏🏼 I currently have 2 of the bikes in my collection, the CBR1000F and mighty ZX12R… I can attest that the ZX12R has more performance than anyone needs on the roads! 🔥😎 Edit: the ZX12R is fuel injected 😉
Ace video as always BB, very well thought out and excecuted with panache. I know I speak for my household of 4 bike riders, but we love your stuff and miss you.
it has been hard going, RUclips is just not even showing the videos to the subscriber list in general so make sure you havent missed any, the copyright strike is finally up at the end of the month so im keeping my fingers crossed, but being honest, comparing things to other channels they have been suffering too. you tube seems to have now fully adopted googles lead on making the search harder so it takes more time, and it is prioritising the huge chanels and then some small channels, and its the 10k to 100k subscriber channels that seem to be the ones suffering most. but i dont give up easily :-), cheers as always for the support

no need for thanks mate, i think ive been baptised by the GoatArmy now lol, i will be back again :-) Cadwell is a fantastic track, certainly the best in the UK for bikes. Theres footage of me on the EXUP, Laverda, Daytona 955 and the Vstrom round there in the raw footage. i cant recomend it enough. glad you enjoyed the video, ride free brother
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks! Immediately spotted Caddie in the opening shot, it's a lot more bumpy than it looks & later Ballaugh bridge, that's a bugger. As you said some good bargains out there, big ADV is trendy right now, meaning lots of great bikes at good prices, such as the Blackbird.

Another cracking vid. If you grew up riding in the 90' these were the dream machines. I was lucky to own a 91 ZX10, which 1 did 66,000 miles dispatch riding on it and now i have a 91 CBR1000f-L and i have one of the last ZZR100's sold in the uk before the 1200. Big CC,s big carbs, one of the greatest era's for the speed merchant. Never selling these 2. 😁

Great video, so good to see the tomcat make it to your videos. I had one back in the 90's and got another again last year. Great bike. Also had a blackbird which was an incredible machine, super quick, comfy, handled and was surprisingly light compared to the two zzr1200's I had before it. Keep up the great content🏍🏍👍👍
I had a ZZ1100, No anti-lock brakes, no riding aids of any kind. Even in the hands of an average rider it was fast and huge fun, but in adverse conditions absolutely terrifying. It was sell it or die.

No mention of the Bimota Furano fuel injected beauty in its time, The road holding was fantastic Ohlins front and back. Fully floating breaks , wonderful bikes !
The early vmax was fast acceleration but not top speed. And the first blades faster in corners. But not top end. They are featured in the 2 dangerous bikes videos 😊
I love the stuff you put out. Love across pond accent and knowledge. Here in the States we got all the Japanese bikes and very few Euro bike ever made over here until the 2010’s. Not that had numerous bikes but I’ve had a few. I still own a 75’ Z1b and it’s stablemate is a ZX6R. The 600 will do an honest 268 kph or 166 mph, not bad for a bike half the displacement discussed here. I don’t need to go any faster. I supposed if I had it dyno tune and spent for a titanium exhaust I could go a little faster, but it’s not worth the money or effort. Besides I love hear that scream at 16500 rpm.
thanks as always mate, glad it got to you, ther are a lot of the subscribers still not seeing the videos because youtube isnt showing them, im just hoping things improve again when the cpyright strike is done at the end of the month, have a great weekend
For me the Vincent and the Blackbird are the best in that list, with the gear driven 1000 V4 in third place. It’s more than simple jingoistic pride and brand loyalty. Honda just suggested quality to me via an unspoken synergy from the very beginning: my first bike in 1975. It was the same thing with Apple computers from 1985 - decades before they became ‘cool’. They were always in a different league. And arguably, there are huge similarities between the genius business mindsets of Soichiro Honda and Steve Jobs - which shone quietly through their products. Great video as always. Superbly researched and presented. Thank you for sharing. Ride safe. Peace 🏴
@@barebonesmc You’re most welcome mate. Sometimes I feel people might see me as elitist. But some things are just superior aren’t they? Velocettes were among the best at one point. Broughs and Vincents obviously were above them. I just feel Honda lead the way without being brash, loud or slutty! 🧐😎😜 Peace 🏴
@@G58 and to you mate, they all have their place, I have always thought Yamaha were great at delivering a package more than the sum of its part. Honda had the tighter QC, Kawasaki it was always about the engines, and Suzuki, well, they just have that bonkers gene that was always great, but never quite as balanced overall as the Yamaha or Honda's
@@barebonesmc Your experience of different models far exceeds my own. I always find your assessments to be very well informed, encyclopaedic even. Am I jealous? Yeah. Even though I spent years gathering knowledge on other subjects in other fields, sometimes I wish I’d played with bikes more. Anyway, we are where we are. I seriously believe you should write a book on the bikes you’ve owned and worked on. Books are more permanent records. When the EMPs go off, there will only be books. 👀🙈 Peace 🏴
@@G58 your comments always leave me blushing mate. Ive just been lucky at times (not so at others lol) i cant imagine the mammoth task involved in writing a book, i guess if i did it as an audio book AI could probably write the transcript now (i will ask the one who knows better on that one 🙂 she uses it all the time on her websites) but it would be a big task. It has given me an idea on something though. I have been trying to rescue all the old info about the Zane era Laverda's, I scraped the old NZ site when it was taken down and with some help from the Zane group i can probably do a plotted history just about the Zane era Laverda's as a permanent record, cheers 🙂
I remember asking a mate for a go on the back of his turbocharged GPZ1100. His mates said I mad. I found out they were correct. The pillion foot pegs were welded down, and I was told to hook my feet under them. In the first 3 gears, I went horizontal on the pillion seat. I was totally terrified. But it sure was fun!
I will have you know my little Honda Novio would do all of 43mph, downhill, with a tailwind lol, the pedals are what motivated me to move on, but they all have 2 wheels and an engine :-), just dont pedal around corners PMSL

EXCELLENT VIDEO ! IM A SUBSCRIBER ! THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA MISS THE ZX12R, THANK YOU FOR NOT. HOWEVER, IN 2001 ( AND ONLY THAT YEAR) THE ZX12R DID 201 MPH OUT OF THE BOX IN THE USA !!! IT WAS THE FIRST BIKE TO EVER TOP 200 MPH PERIOD. IM CURRENTLY SEARCHING THE PLANET FOR MINE AND CANT WAIT TO REPLACE MY 2015 1000 NINJA (TOP SPEED 150 MPH 😢) JUST SAD!

While I love bikes, going really fast is too scary for me. I prefer to plod around the back 40 on a trail bike. But for those who have the nerve, go for it 👍
being honest mate, our roads arent built for speed, i do still have a few fast bikes, but theyve only been used on track days in the past few years, but each to their own, i had my moments when i was younger lol
in the early 70's I had a 73 z-1 and my roommate had a 750 triple ported polished with racing chambers the only bike on mtn home afb faster than my z-1

Am I the only one that remembers bike magazines reporting early Hayabusa & ZX-12R's attaining 200 mph at runway test tracks, only to change their stories after adverse comments. Or a case of forget the previous, from now on its this ?
happen to me the same i never heard about the zx12r .for some reason they try to put the hayabusa in its place but only the h2 can beat it ...i seen zx12r running at 325km/h and thats faster than any other bike
Off to the real world and our high-desert, topspeed test site, we ran both bikes in stock form. No surprises there, the Kawasaki stuttered past the radar gun at 185.6 mph, while the Suzuki moaned to 183.9 mph. Yawn....Resetting the Zed-Ex's Yellow Box yielded a shrieking 190.2-mph blast (with the speedo reading a leisurely 160 miles per), and the TRE-equipped Hayabusa stormed to 192.4 mph. All with a light tailwind, mind you, but in line with our original 'Busa's 189 mph run two years ago.
My three favorite bikes in order Brough superior ss 100 Vincent black prince Suzuki hayabusa I own the 3rd one and i can only dream of owning the other two
interesting, ive been thinking of doing a "my dream garage" series of 3 bike collections videos, obviously i would do mine first, then there are a few other creators i can work with to do others, and then maybe some subscriber collections? do you think that would be interesting? cheers for watching
I had an '87 FZR1000, it didn't have the top speed of my '85 FJ1200 which I took to over 170 with just a rear sprocket. My brother still has that red and white FJ and a blackbird. My 1988 GSXR750 J would pull 165 at 15500 rpm in top. Vacuum fuel taps are my biggest fail on long duration full throttle. Just take the spring out of the diaphragm or run lean and burn up exhaust valves from low fuel levels. No fuel injection in my day, still don't care for it on bike.
Rode the kwak 500 n750 in the past they where a loony bike great fun back then but i was young and stupid lucky to be here know 130 bike later kow an old man on a busa and a full power v max and two mid range v twin shaft yams n a triumph daytona triple ride free all keep it on the black stuff be safe my true family in life be bless on the road there is a futre nevr forget its in are hands
zx12r indeed has 179hp on paper, but with the dynamic air boost (ram air system), it delivers an overall 190hp. I've owned her for a few years, and she'll stay with me until the end-whether it's hers or mine. With 134 Nm and just 7500 rpm, it's a thrilling rollercoaster ride. My mods? Full Akrapovič exhaust system, Power Commander 5, Dynojet autotune, Brembo RCS19 master cylinder, Nissin calipers, and a 4-degree advance on the ignition timing. How much horsepower now? I have no idea, but it's still enough to provide the best Fun Factor ever.
You seem to of forgot the Gpz1000 rx which when it came out was the holder of fastest production bike however eu/uk had a Gentlemans agreement with bike manufactuers to limit power to 118 bhp
i featured the RX here, but what year are you saying it set a fastest speed? by 86 I thought the Slabby was fastest? Official speeds I have are 158mph for the RX but 160 for the Slabside
@@barebonesmc Nope, fuel injected the entire run. Mine was a 2000, fuel injected. The ZZR1200 or ZX12C was carbed. Completely different bikes. The 12R was a totally new and modern design, the 12C was basically a newer version of the ZX11. I know it's a little confusing since Kawi had quite a few 1200's at this time and the different naming schemes for different regions
Say, honorable mention GPz 750 turbo? Think was the fastest for at least a few months in 1984-85. Would obliterate my ninja 900 and gsxr 1000 FC the line.
great bikes,i featured them here ruclips.net/video/gYetZtEpPcM/видео.html they were certainly the best of the Turbo's 🙂 Cheers for watching mate. Ride Free 🙂
production bikes here mate, if we looked at modified it would be drag bikes and hyper tuned race bikes so a very different video, cheers for watching, hope you will join us
id agree to an extent, in the same way Honda;s USP was the reliabilty and Yamaha's the fact they put balanced packages together, Kawasaki have always been at the top when it comes to engine design. cheers for adding your bit
i dont remember calling it overrated? where? what i said was that it didnt ever become the fastest, because the H1 got to market first, cheers for watching, enjoy the ride
Electric bikes not a bike in my view bikes have conbustion engins that it ibdont belive a biker will ride electric even iff they have the cash to percase
@@cbrboy76 lol, the people who built the Nottingham University race bike that competed in the TT Zero might argue, and i have to say it was an incredible bike, even though it was electric
@@barebonesmc fully agree, i have no probs with the race side of things, i just feel the whole electric thing is being pushed far too much, the vehicles are far too expensive, they have a finite life, they are inconvenient, your never going to have a cheap runabout & they sound crap
@@cbrboy76 True, I used to watch Marc Travels but stopped in the end, the idea of every journey including riding close behind a lorry to extend range put me off him and the bike completely, being honest, i think the whole electric fiasco is just a marketing exercise, and when theyve sold enough they will admit the problems and point everyone to another new alternative. it always boils down to money somewhere, but yep, the electric bandwagon is just that, a bandwagon everyone is being pushed onto, all a bit daft

@@barebonesmc thanks and welcome back.. fyi I owned a ZX12R before the 14R... that bike was a freak, dyno 196 muzzy pipe n pc3.. wish I didn't have to trade on the 14 but the 14R was always my goal.. mission complete! Stay fast RRRRRRRRRRRRR
@@ITS.ME.OG.14R hence why the 14 got the honourary mention 🙂 the list wouldnt have been complete without it despite it always being restricted from the factory. shiny side up my friend, hsve great day
I owned an 05 ZX22R , had it for 8 years . That baby rocked on top with fantastic handling , really regret selling it !
we all have those bikes mate :-) I think i still miss my 350LC most though :-)
Excellent video, thank you very much. I wouldn’t dare ride any of those nowadays. That’s probably why I’m still here 😊😊

Great post. My day was early 80’s. GPZs were the most amazing bikes but I chose a trailie as my learner bike. The AE80 was fabulous but I ran it into the road within 6 months.
I started on a Kawasaki KC100 (after the Honda Novio pedal n go) loved the GPZ, but the 350LC won my cash lol
@@barebonesmc my mate had a KC but I pissed all over him on it. Looking back now, it’s amazing that I’m still alive.
@@andymcneil7085 i can relate to that mate, my KC served a few purposes, it was the cheapest route to my test, and my first attempt at porting a stroker lol, it prepared me for the LC 🙂 but yep, i never expected to last this long to be honest 🙂
@@barebonesmc I managed to destroy myself in another way. I was shot, by accident, and ended up a disabled man ever since. At least I’m alive. I love my life too, it’s bloody hard going but I do stuff I would not expect to be able to do.
@@andymcneil7085 sorry mate, i feel your pain, theyve told me i wouldnt walk again twice now and i have been again for the last 20 years nearly now, now i have another battle which could be even harder, but i am a stubborn old bugger and dont give up easily, good luck with your battles

ZX12R my favorite bike ive ever ridden. And i own a 2014 S1000RR. Dont get me wrong i wouldn't trade it for any modern bike out there. But i was 19yrs old when the Busa and ZX were going at it. The late 90's early 00's were the greatest❤

Great video, so good to see the tomcat make it to your videos. I had one back in the 90's and got another again last year. Great bike. Also had a blackbird which was an incredible machine, super quick, comfy, handled and was surprisingly light compared to the two zzr1200's I had before it.
Keep up the great content🏍🏍👍👍

I had the red zx12r 2000...never should have sold it
weve all done it with one bike or another mate. oh i wish id never sold the 500/4 or the series 1 350LC, welcome aboard
Me great bike
I had a ZZ1100, No anti-lock brakes, no riding aids of any kind. Even in the hands of an average rider it was fast and huge fun, but in adverse conditions absolutely terrifying. It was sell it or die.
The zzr1100 was a beast 😊

Brilliant video! Thanks.
thanks for your support 🙂Cheers for adding your bit too mate. 🙂
just what i was looking for.....but 1985- vmax, 1992- fireblade
The early vmax was fast acceleration but not top speed. And the first blades faster in corners. But not top end. They are featured in the 2 dangerous bikes videos 😊
I love the stuff you put out. Love across pond accent and knowledge. Here in the States we got all the Japanese bikes and very few Euro bike ever made over here until the 2010’s. Not that had numerous bikes but I’ve had a few. I still own a 75’ Z1b and it’s stablemate is a ZX6R. The 600 will do an honest 268 kph or 166 mph, not bad for a bike half the displacement discussed here. I don’t need to go any faster. I supposed if I had it dyno tune and spent for a titanium exhaust I could go a little faster, but it’s not worth the money or effort. Besides I love hear that scream at 16500 rpm.
Both great bikes they will find their place in time 🙂 Cheers for watching and the support mate Ride Free 🙂
Cheers for the great video mate, gteat content as usual.
thanks as always mate, glad it got to you, ther are a lot of the subscribers still not seeing the videos because youtube isnt showing them, im just hoping things improve again when the cpyright strike is done at the end of the month, have a great weekend
For me the Vincent and the Blackbird are the best in that list, with the gear driven 1000 V4 in third place.
It’s more than simple jingoistic pride and brand loyalty. Honda just suggested quality to me via an unspoken synergy from the very beginning: my first bike in 1975.
It was the same thing with Apple computers from 1985 - decades before they became ‘cool’. They were always in a different league.
And arguably, there are huge similarities between the genius business mindsets of Soichiro Honda and Steve Jobs - which shone quietly through their products.
Great video as always. Superbly researched and presented. Thank you for sharing.
Ride safe.

@@barebonesmc You’re most welcome mate. Sometimes I feel people might see me as elitist. But some things are just superior aren’t they? Velocettes were among the best at one point. Broughs and Vincents obviously were above them.
I just feel Honda lead the way without being brash, loud or slutty! 🧐😎😜
Peace 🏴
@@G58 and to you mate, they all have their place, I have always thought Yamaha were great at delivering a package more than the sum of its part. Honda had the tighter QC, Kawasaki it was always about the engines, and Suzuki, well, they just have that bonkers gene that was always great, but never quite as balanced overall as the Yamaha or Honda's
@@barebonesmc Your experience of different models far exceeds my own. I always find your assessments to be very well informed, encyclopaedic even. Am I jealous? Yeah. Even though I spent years gathering knowledge on other subjects in other fields, sometimes I wish I’d played with bikes more.
Anyway, we are where we are. I seriously believe you should write a book on the bikes you’ve owned and worked on. Books are more permanent records. When the EMPs go off, there will only be books. 👀🙈
Peace 🏴
@@G58 your comments always leave me blushing mate. Ive just been lucky at times (not so at others lol) i cant imagine the mammoth task involved in writing a book, i guess if i did it as an audio book AI could probably write the transcript now (i will ask the one who knows better on that one 🙂 she uses it all the time on her websites) but it would be a big task. It has given me an idea on something though. I have been trying to rescue all the old info about the Zane era Laverda's, I scraped the old NZ site when it was taken down and with some help from the Zane group i can probably do a plotted history just about the Zane era Laverda's as a permanent record, cheers 🙂
I remember asking a mate for a go on the back of his turbocharged GPZ1100. His mates said I mad. I found out they were correct. The pillion foot pegs were welded down, and I was told to hook my feet under them. In the first 3 gears, I went horizontal on the pillion seat. I was totally terrified. But it sure was fun!
Great story 🙂Cheers for adding your bit mate. Ride Free 🙂
Really Enjoyed your Video of the History of 100 years of Fast Motorcycles, But If it has Pedals it's not a Motorcycle

EXCELLENT VIDEO ! IM A SUBSCRIBER ! THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA MISS THE ZX12R, THANK YOU FOR NOT. HOWEVER, IN 2001 ( AND ONLY THAT YEAR) THE ZX12R DID 201 MPH OUT OF THE BOX IN THE USA !!! IT WAS THE FIRST BIKE TO EVER TOP 200 MPH PERIOD.
IM CURRENTLY SEARCHING THE PLANET FOR MINE AND CANT WAIT TO REPLACE MY 2015 1000 NINJA (TOP SPEED 150 MPH 😢) JUST SAD! MY 2001 CBR F4i SPORT DID 176 MPH FOR HEVAN'S SAKE.

I used to have a well tuned ZZ-R1100D1 that would out accelerate and higher top speed than a Hayabusa. I soooo wish I still had that bike
@@martintownley5803 a classic and underrated bike
I've owned a ZX12R, what a bike, I had 195mph on the clock on a motorway. Great handling and comfort. The only thing I disliked was the tank range.
still better than the tank range on a Vmax lol cheers for watching mate
Absolutely, but I used to commute from Manchester to MK daily, it only just made MK on a tank. I had a Tiger 955i after that was so much better for the job. Just not as much fun.

While I love bikes, going really fast is too scary for me. I prefer to plod around the back 40 on a trail bike. But for those who have the nerve, go for it 👍
being honest mate, our roads arent built for speed, i do still have a few fast bikes, but theyve only been used on track days in the past few years, but each to their own, i had my moments when i was younger lol

Am I the only one that remembers bike magazines reporting early Hayabusa & ZX-12R's attaining 200 mph at runway test tracks, only to change their stories after adverse comments. Or a case of forget the previous, from now on its this ?
wouldnt be the first time and wont be the last either :-) they are at the behest of their paymasters, the advertisers
Please why no Kwaka H2 750cc (1972) mentioned ??!!!

#GOATARMY
welcome aboard mate
happen to me the same i never heard about the zx12r .for some reason they try to put the hayabusa in its place but only the h2 can beat it ...i seen zx12r running at 325km/h and thats faster than any other bike
Not as ugly as the busa and h2 either 🤣🤣🤣
At 7:15 look at the mountain in the background. See the head and the face of a petrified titan giant 😁
Barman, I want what hes been drinking 🙂 PMSL, i can sort of see what you mean though lol
Off to the real world and our high-desert, topspeed test site, we ran both bikes in stock form. No surprises there, the Kawasaki stuttered past the radar gun at 185.6 mph, while the Suzuki moaned to 183.9 mph. Yawn....Resetting the Zed-Ex's Yellow Box yielded a shrieking 190.2-mph blast (with the speedo reading a leisurely 160 miles per), and the TRE-equipped Hayabusa stormed to 192.4 mph. All with a light tailwind, mind you, but in line with our original 'Busa's 189 mph run two years ago.
Great story 🙂Cheers for adding your bit mate. Ride Free 🙂
My three favorite bikes in order
Brough superior ss 100
Vincent black prince
Suzuki hayabusa
I own the 3rd one and i can only dream of owning the other two
interesting, ive been thinking of doing a "my dream garage" series of 3 bike collections videos, obviously i would do mine first, then there are a few other creators i can work with to do others, and then maybe some subscriber collections? do you think that would be interesting? cheers for watching
I had an '87 FZR1000, it didn't have the top speed of my '85 FJ1200 which I took to over 170 with just a rear sprocket. My brother still has that red and white FJ and a blackbird. My 1988 GSXR750 J would pull 165 at 15500 rpm in top. Vacuum fuel taps are my biggest fail on long duration full throttle. Just take the spring out of the diaphragm or run lean and burn up exhaust valves from low fuel levels. No fuel injection in my day, still don't care for it on bike.
I am biased mate, i still have 2 EXUPS, but the FJ11 and 12 are 2 of my favourite bikes
Rode the kwak 500 n750 in the past they where a loony bike great fun back then but i was young and stupid lucky to be here know 130 bike later kow an old man on a busa and a full power v max and two mid range v twin shaft yams n a triumph daytona triple ride free all keep it on the black stuff be safe my true family in life be bless on the road there is a futre nevr forget its in are hands

No mention of the 1981 fastest Motorcycle SZ 1100 Suzuki Katana.
you made me wonder, so i just checked, by 81 the Jota was at 145mph, and the SX was 136 and a bit, so almost 10mph faster than the SX
Never knew of the zx12r
Glad I surprised you mate 🙂
zx12r indeed has 179hp on paper, but with the dynamic air boost (ram air system), it delivers an overall 190hp. I've owned her for a few years, and she'll stay with me until the end-whether it's hers or mine. With 134 Nm and just 7500 rpm, it's a thrilling rollercoaster ride. My mods? Full Akrapovič exhaust system, Power Commander 5, Dynojet autotune, Brembo RCS19 master cylinder, Nissin calipers, and a 4-degree advance on the ignition timing. How much horsepower now? I have no idea, but it's still enough to provide the best Fun Factor ever.

You seem to of forgot the Gpz1000 rx which when it came out was the holder of fastest production bike however eu/uk had a Gentlemans agreement with bike manufactuers to limit power to 118 bhp
i featured the RX here, but what year are you saying it set a fastest speed? by 86 I thought the Slabby was fastest? Official speeds I have are 158mph for the RX but 160 for the Slabside
The ZX12R was fuel injected, with an ecu flash and a full Muzzy exhaust mine could do an indicated 220mph.(probably around 205 in reality)
fuel injected after 2002 i believe, sorry if that wasnt made clear, I do my best 🙂
@@barebonesmc Nope, fuel injected the entire run. Mine was a 2000, fuel injected. The ZZR1200 or ZX12C was carbed. Completely different bikes. The 12R was a totally new and modern design, the 12C was basically a newer version of the ZX11. I know it's a little confusing since Kawi had quite a few 1200's at this time and the different naming schemes for different regions
Had my Blackbird for the last 6 years, still fast, still reliable (55k mls) and can still mix it in better rider’s hands.

Say, honorable mention GPz 750 turbo? Think was the fastest for at least a few months in 1984-85. Would obliterate my ninja 900 and gsxr 1000 FC the line.

Regarding Kawasaki , absolutely nothing screams and rips the riders face off like Kawasaki engines .
id agree to an extent, in the same way Honda;s USP was the reliabilty and Yamaha's the fact they put balanced packages together, Kawasaki have always been at the top when it comes to engine design. cheers for adding your bit

Electricity is for hair dryers & washing machines not motorbikes
@@cbrboy76 lol, the people who built the Nottingham University race bike that competed in the TT Zero might argue, and i have to say it was an incredible bike, even though it was electric
@@barebonesmc fully agree, i have no probs with the race side of things, i just feel the whole electric thing is being pushed far too much, the vehicles are far too expensive, they have a finite life, they are inconvenient, your never going to have a cheap runabout & they sound crap
@@cbrboy76 True, I used to watch Marc Travels but stopped in the end, the idea of every journey including riding close behind a lorry to extend range put me off him and the bike completely, being honest, i think the whole electric fiasco is just a marketing exercise, and when theyve sold enough they will admit the problems and point everyone to another new alternative. it always boils down to money somewhere, but yep, the electric bandwagon is just that, a bandwagon everyone is being pushed onto, all a bit daft
