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
When I was just 18, a mate gave me the keys to his Laverda Mirage 1200. I was blown away.
great bikes, they will find their place in time 🙂 Cheers for watching mate. Ride Free 🙂
Thank you so much! Great vid!
mate, its my pleasure, as always, enjoy the ride
The DUGOATI RULES RRRRRRRRRRRRR
I can just imagine the thrill of riding some of the early bikes topping out at 50 mph. It would have been crazy, crazy fast.
I look at the Cyclone and imagine what it was like to stop it, having said that, i had the privelidge of riding a Scott Squirrel, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it really was considering itts age
Yes, rickety ratchety old things going way faster that they should
@@257796 wild times 🙂
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 😉
A friend had a ZX12R, but it was a later restrited one, even the ZX12C was more than most riders could handle to be fair :-) glad you enjoyed it mate
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.
Hope I surprised you with something in there mate 🙂Cheers for watching. Ride Free 🙂
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 :-)
Good video. A biker here or across the pond we all love a beautifully crafted motorcycle.
glad you enjoyed it mate 🙂 Great engineering is great engineering wherever it comes from :-) Theres plenty more on the channel, hope you will look around and find something your interested in. there is more on the website too. and there will be more to come. Cheers for watching.Hope you will climb aboard. Ride Free 🙂
looks like I'm going to be late for work ..............again, awesome video Thank you
PMSL enjoy mate 🙂 have a great week
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
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.
Cadwell my 2nd home 🙂
🙂Cheers for watching and for the comment mate. Ride Free 🙂
I love your channel. The way you explain things is so easy to understand. Such as forcing cold oil into the crank case. However I do feel that if you were to start talking about electric bikes it would definitely detract from the quality of your videos
As I said, i will leave that for people who know the subject better 🙂 cheers for the support

Crash Test Goat sent me here! 🤙🔥💯
the forces are aligned :-)
Had a quick look, not for me
@@Africatwinrider1 fair enough mate, he does run a good live chat where some interesting subjects come up that goes beyond the videos too, remember, we all have 2 wheels in common despite our differences
Absolute top-notch content. I love learning about the long history of motorcycles, so this channel is right up my alley. I really enjoyed the on-board footage taken out on Cadwell Park, such an iconic track, definitely on my bucket list.
The Ducati 1299 superleggera along with the Ducati Desmosedici are two dream bikes of mine.
Thanks again for stopping by the live chat. We appreciate you!
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
Awesome Vid !!

Welcome aboard mate, enjoy the ride and cheers for the support The GoatArmy always welcome
@@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
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 !
Undoubtedly great bikes. they will find their place in time 🙂 Cheers for watching mate. Ride Free 🙂

Great Video, Thanks. subbed 👍
Welcome aboard mate, enjoy the ride and cheers for the support
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 🙂
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
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🏍🏍👍👍
glad it jogged some good memories mate 🙂Cheers for watching. Ride Free 🙂
Brilliant video! Thanks.
thanks for your support 🙂Cheers for adding your bit too mate. 🙂
The H2R, is track use only, by that rationale, the 1957 Moto Guzzi Otto, an 8 cylinder 500cc bike , did 171mph, a record which stood for over 20 years.
I featured the Guzzi here ruclips.net/video/fBr4QONXBmU/видео.html and i did talk about the H2R being track only in most countries. but i would argue the Gilera was actually faster, even without its supercharger, than the Guzzi, and it didnt explode so often either. but thats a different story 🙂I have to say, much as it is a great piece of engineering, i have never heard anyone (even Sammy Miller) describe it as the fastest bike of its class never mind the fastest of all, but we all think differently at times 🙂
#Crashtestgoat and the #GoatArmy sent me here
Not a great channel
Welcome aboard @RebelWithoutFauxPas 🙂
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❤
Welcome aboard mate, The ZX12R is a special bike, enjoy the ride and cheers for the support
Really Enjoyed your Video of the History of 100 years of Fast Motorcycles, But If it has Pedals it's not a Motorcycle
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
Loved the video! I’ve moved down to a 250cc total terrain, smiles per hour.

For me , the top two bikes of all time , are , Ducati 996 and the Kawasaki ZX-11 .
we all have our favourites mate, i feature the 916 here ruclips.net/video/9frunVVZcHI/видео.html and the ZX11 is the bike we called the ZZR1100, and they are great bikes. cheers for watching, enjoy the ride

Second only to money
@@257796 motorcycles can give you something money never could 🙂
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.

glad you enjoyed it mate hope there were some surprises 🙂Cheers for watching. Ride Free 🙂
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
Excellent video, thank you very much. I wouldn’t dare ride any of those nowadays. That’s probably why I’m still here 😊😊

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 bikes, the Tomcat is a very underrated bike, and ive known a fair few ZZR1100's over the years 🙂 Cheers for watching mate. Ride Free 🙂
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 🏴
thanks for your support 🙂Cheers for adding your bit too mate. Ride Free 🙂
@@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 🙂
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. SADLY ANYTHING SOLD AFTER 2007 JUST WON'T TOUCH THE PREVIOUS 7 YEARS OF ANY MANUFACTURER! AS THEY SAY TODAY....THEY JUST DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO....FAST AS HELL!!!! RUBBER SIDE DOWN.🤟
Welcome aboard mate, good luck with the search. enjoy the ride and cheers for the support.

#GOATARMY
welcome aboard mate
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
Excellent video, but isn´t the Rudge Ulster missing somewhere in the earlier part?
hmm, not sure on that one, it wasnt one that came up, year and speed? and ill see what i can find 🙂
I own a 86 VMAX, 97 xx black bird, 00zx12 r ,07zx14r ,and the zx12r is FAST !!
nice collection 🙂Cheers for watching and for the comment mate. Ride Free 🙂
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
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.

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
Can’t see the link to your backup channel mate.

I thought my old 74 Trident would have got a brief mention at 125mph/ 145mph, or the early Thruxton 145mph...but no..to slow maybe..
Well it sort of does, in the form of the Rocket 3, which was always (on paper) just that little bit quicker. if you listen from 09:30 to 10:10, I talk about what I call the great reset 🙂Cheers for watching and for the comment mate. Ride Free 🙂

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
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
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 🙂
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
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
not my thing, at least not yet, who knows in time, but i like my petrol fired machines 🙂
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
What about the super busa no mention of it here
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
Kawasaki 1994 zx 900 only 7 being produced is the fastest , i left Kawasaki 1200 , honda bkack bird , suzuki hayabusa , behind , yamaha , r1 ,
People's did try to ride it , but too scary for them, me racing upto 300 kph in the rain , and i am bone dry , pretty damn good commuting , 😊
1 hour and a half ride from a to b can be done in 15 mins , ,
great bikes,i featured them here ruclips.net/video/ZBbf0xF7TbU/видео.html but thats not in standard trim with those figures im guessing 🙂 Cheers for watching mate. Ride Free 🙂
CB 750 over rated? It set the standard for a generation of bikes.
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
After '84 I lost interest, but before was fantastic....
i go a bit further forward than that but i get why :-)
Opposite for me…after ‘84 my interest increased! 😉👍🏼
@@woooster71 if we all thought the same it would be a boring world mate, 🙂Cheers for watching. Ride Free 🙂
No S1000RR absolute travesty
great bikes,i featured them here ruclips.net/video/eR_XGU_DcAQ/видео.html but as far as i am aware they were never the fastest in standard trim 🙂 Cheers for watching mate. Ride Free 🙂
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

Welcome aboard mate, enjoy the ride and cheers for the support
Sadly.. amiss.. is MV Agusta's gear cam'd 1970 750ss & it's 500cc 14000rpm derivative grandprix bikes that beat the mighty tz500 albeit just.. but.. like Honda with the NR to be later a production 750 variant the MV set the stage in the transverse 4 era.. my pick for the greatest though is close between the legendary HRD Lightening pipped by the Brough ss100.. because.. the Brough was the last bike in the development race of ICEngines, to be faster than the fastest.. fighter plane of it time.. something NO OTHER bike has been even close to since.. think about that ! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ 👌☝️
My sweetheart honey bike is the gsxf1200s in red💕.. but THE bike top of my list.. zx12r analog mk1🤜🤛👊
this was production bikes but i may have missed one, the MV 500 has appeared here ruclips.net/video/fBr4QONXBmU/видео.html and elsewhere :-), and there are 2 MV's in a video going out shortly too
@@barebonesmc can't get them all.. the 750ss was a road going version of the 500 in a sense.. was a dam good video you did there.. time for anotherviewing
@@Errol.C-nz I do my best 🙂 Did you see the 2 MV's in the new one yet? im glad the videos are still getting to you, a lot of subs still arent seeing them, the strike is up in a few days so im hoping things improve again, cheers as always mate, hope all is well
Turbo BUSA 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
someone had to say it :-)
Forgot about Henderson Mr. Far far more superior.
not forgotten, they will find their place at some point, they just werent ever the fastest. cheers for watching
