We need more videos with oldschool bikes ! Please get more of that type of stuff on the channel.
I think that redline thrash really helped clean up that YZF.. See, this is a bike maintenance channel as well 😂
It didn't smoke nearly as much on the second run it seems. Italian tune ups are real!
@@brazoon1 why Italian?
Sure blew the corn cobs out of the system, that's for sure.
@@jerryx2000 "Italian tune up" is just an expression. It means revving the crap out of an engine to flush out deposits etc.
@@jerryx2000Fortnine just covered this lol
Impulse carb cleaning? 😁I do miss the older bikes and 44Teeth really got into something when they started the budget bike battle series! I love it!
It's the same bikes 44teeth used also. Unoriginal
More like this please. Late 90's early 00's bikes are the most fun you can have on 2 wheels 🏍️💨
Your channel is the only one I see with old bikes from the 80's and 90's. I have a 1989 Yamaha FZR1000. I paid $5200 for it in 2014. It only had 4,002 miles on it and had just had a $1500 service. I have 28,000 miles on it now and am about to do a major service on it. Was thinking of buying a used 2016 R1M but love my oldie to much.
Bikes we all aspired to own back in the day.. thanks for doing these kind of videos. Really enjoyed it.
Oof, that YZF either is wayyyy too rich in the carbs, the intake valves need proper adjustment, or worse the valve seals and/or piston rings are on the way out! Smoke screen machine!
Great video though, surprisingly close indeed, thought the blade would crush the 750.
Loved this! Will watch everyone of these you do. Simple but so much fun…
That shape fireblade was my first big bike after a cx500. Commuting in the snow for the first week of ownership was certainly an eye opener.
Great bikes even now and I think people would be happier if we still had things like this where they are fun but not so serious that they are mostly track only.
I absolutely loved the smoke curtain creating abilities of my old YZF. Perfect for tailgaters.
Should have an after-burn oil injection system. Press a button for a cloud of smoke.
That Fireblade was my first committed memory as a kid for bikes because I had never seen a motorcycle before. I touched the Exhaust after someone had ridden it. Massive mistake and lesson learned but I’ve loved them since that very day.
Made mar day👌👍💪
"Edge of lightening" lives on.
Yeah sit on that blade's pillion seat all day long.
One hand on the rentec the other under the strap.loads of memories.
Thanks lads👌
My 1990 ZXR750H2 still after 27 years of ownership puts a very big smile on my face 😊
H2 was my first road bike after racing CR250 for 4 years. It will always be close to my heart
Wow, that sound was absolutely amazing, they sounded awesome together!
My first sports bike was a 1000 exup and it was a flying machine. When the exup valve wasn’t seized 😂
I got a friction burn just clicking the ‘view’ & preemptive ‘like’ button!! I have a ‘99 900RR and a fair few other 90s bikes 😁🔥❤️
Such a fun video... amd those bikes feel so real i would say, with all the analog gauges, no quck shifters, loved it 😍
man o man... 2 of the bikes that got me through my 20s and 30s. . . lol well done boys!
Takes me back!
I owned a ‘93 Yamaha FZR 600, as I couldn’t afford a liter bike back then
It was a hoot!
Unfortunately, I still can’t afford a proper liter bike. Today’s prices are outrageous, IMO 😅
You can buy a great used liter for under $7k
Who wants (needs) a new liter bike? Hell with 150+ HP
I had a 94 YZF and absolutely loved it ❤️
This is cool. I would really like to see this channel racing older bikes. Or first edition vs. last edition bikes. For example first R6 vs Last built R6. I own first gen R6, yes, haha
Good idea. Or even a Fzr600. Round a track too, not just straight line.
that would be god too see, old v mordern versions of the same bike. compare track times, acceleration etc
After seeing 44 Teeth’s budget bike battle featuring the exact same models I am a HUGE fan of both of these bikes. I know you mentioned the second Gen fire blade isn’t as loved as the first, but I would love to have one. Harder to come by stateside. Haven’t seen one yet here
That YZF got a proper Italian tune up 😂
I would love to see more older bikes on the channel! Drag race with a firestorm, gsxr and a vfr? All from end 90's era?
Would be interesting to see the torque vs horsepower difference.
Today's bikes have tones of electronics and look sleeker but bikes from the 90s and early 2000s were the real sport bikes.. No electronics, no abs, no traction control.. Just raw power and men with balls to tame those machines.
750 vs 900 😂😂
A truly fantastic test!!!
It would be nice to have a comparison of the same CBR 900 with a 1000 of the same year and with the Kawasaki ZX9R...
Oh yeah, used to ride one blade back in the early 2000 when they where couple of years old. Had to buy one 1996 model just to see if they still got that magic. It still does and felt like home after all the years.
Just slipping mi shell suit on 😜 awesome guy's cheers 👍🏻
4 BSB titles for the YZF says it all❤
Fantastic! More old tests please!
Adam chad has ridden a Turbo Zx 10 R , on which he reached a Top speed of 247 mph on a STANDING MILE 🔥🔥🔥
I believe this is where the fun in biking is in these times,, £20+ modern bikes (if you can afford one) are great, but these older 90's and 2000's bikes are where it's at, having owned both of these bikes over the years, I'd be happy with either, but in preference plump for a 1997 RRV Blade.
More old bikes please. This is great fun!
With these bikes YOU are the rider...
...not a computer.
Old school! Love it!
98 SRAD 750 still one of the best machines I've ever owned raw crisp fast, Awesome Era.
Yes.. Been there
I had one too and i agree!! 🤘🤘
U gotta love them older bikes, something special about them 👌
👀🤣🤣👍🏽even tho I lost..i enjoyed it👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 true riding. Both are great bikes. 🏁🏁🏁
Nice. More old school bike reviews please.
I have that fireblade, it’s my daily commute. I adore it, and it’s not slow by any means. Greetings from Ireland.
Fortnine’s new vid on revs seems perfectly matched to this one 😊
I'm still not used to these bikes being called "old school"! My newest bike is a 1987 Honda Hurricane 600 (first year).
I us to have a 1987 hurricane 1000 myself it was powerful I got it up to 190mph fun days
The Yamaha must not be ridden hard usually as it was smoky at first. Nice to see it clean up on the 2nd run.
Those old bikes sound sooooo good!
Great video. I love those old bikes. Cheap and great to ride.
Triumph Daytona 955i 1998-2007 beats both the CBR & YZF like a rented mule, single sided swinger, and that triple cylinder HOWL !!!
@@carlmayer691 Yeah ok but outside of the UK they are nowhere to be found. These old jap bikes are still around.
I would have rather watched a dig race, but those rely more on the rider, and not the bikes capabilities. This was perfect, and I will always prefer the older bike videos produced by Bike World vs. newer bikes.
The yzf could do with a new set of emulsion tubes and a dynojet kit plus a set of piston rings and maybe top end rebuid, they weren't built with the best materials back in the day,.They were oil burners to, mine would need regular oil top ups,. mine new in 95 £8550,. red/white/black
I had an rrv fireblade, great bike. The 06 R1 that replaced it was in a different league though.
I had a 97 900 back in 99. Now I have a 97 YZF that is almost done a full refresh :)
I bought a new 1995 Suzuki GSXR-1100W (of course in what I now call “OH SO 90’s Black and Purple!!!” Which is now all the rage, that along w mullets haircuts!
But I went to a dealership and rode the CBR-900 and I felt like I was sitting up on top of the tank!!! Like I was sitting way high!
So next bike I went to demo was the GSXR-1100W and I fell in love w it!
I still own the bike, has 12000 miles on it and looks like it came off the showroom floor yesterday!
Aside from the carbs jetted and the Vance and Hines Exhaust and I sprayed the windshield bodycolor, aside from that she looks factory fresh!!!
Could be good to stick a car in the mix as well, gives a bit of perspective and it’s always good beating them anyway 😂
Old but gold✌️
No wheelies all the way back, Chris? 😉
Which one would you pick to buy?? Its hard to choose
Owned both, both great bikes 👌🏻😎
Blue smoke powered by yamaha !
Classic 90s YZFs
@@KtmzqwGrey smoke?
@@bertbroeder1832 My take too. It was running rich, but there was a puff of blue smoke too when initially getting on the throttle.
Would of loved to see how they would compare to a modern middleweight naked with similar bhp.
A real blast from the past.
I had a 94 yzf750 from new and loved it , had it up until 2000 when I traded it in for a 99 R1.
Still have my R1 , awesome bike.
I had a new FZR600R back then because I couldn’t afford the YZF, which I really, really wanted. 😂
I had a '98 'blade... Black and grey. Still miss it. 😢
Proper bikes, brill 👍
i have just bought a YZF 750R. i am 52 and used to own one when they first came out. i have a MT10 SP aswell but my god at 52 riding the YZF after that many years is an eye opener its as stiff as a plank same as my creaking body
I had six fire blades in my time 93 /94/97/99/99/ and now a 94 all fun to ride love them all
They still sound awesome!
I want my old fireblade back. Awesome bike
Always thought the CBR954RR was the best Fireblade Honda made, and still do.
Sometimes, we (I know I do) forget the entire reason we ride these bikes is to enjoy them and have fun. You dont need the latest track weapon and in fact that can get in the way of what makes a motorcycle all round enjoyable to ride on on your local twisties
Yea those blades were not quite as good compared to other bikes of the time, still pretty quick and kind of nice looking 😂
You need to stop sleeping on the Kawasaki ZX9r's (none ever featured anywhere, and rarely even mentioned), very underrated bikes, obvs the Y2k+ models were the best overall, but the earlier bikes were still great. Especially the 98-99 C1+C2 being the first production bike to do the 1/4 mile under 10 secs, 9.9 @ 136mph, 0-60 3 secs.
I think you'd be very surprised and wonder why you were not already a big fan of those gorgeous beasts! 😄👍
Totally agree ....had my F2P for 17 years now and with 106000 miles is still so much fun.
@@RIDINGASILVER9 That is awesome mate! 106k miles is impressive, any rebuild/refresh of the engine along the way?
My E1 is at about 23k miles now, only had it 2.5 years, off the road at the mo for head gasket and valve clearances, had a few little issues slowing me down but hope to be back on it soon.
Unfortunately was left outside for five years before I got it, so not in the condition it should be, but far from the worst.
@@HalfdeadRider No issues at all with the engine all original ....regular oil/filter and let the motor warm up ....just usual wear and tear items ....and always garaged .....will not be letting this one go.
@@RIDINGASILVER9 Definitely worth getting the engine in for a refresh if it really hasn't been done mate, it will need it for sure. You will be surprised how much power you've lost through extra pass-by of the piston rings.
An old XR3i me and a mate done many years ago even shocked me when I first drove it after a rebuild. I would have had it refreshed long ago, probably twice by now 😁
@@HalfdeadRider Agree some power losses are inevitable after 106K miles ....but it is something that is not really noticable in normal road riding ......This is my second high mileage ninja ....my C2 got to 51000 miles before the fabled gearbox issues took that off the road .....my F2P still has good compression ...does not burn oil or smoke... starts on the button and has no problems redlining .....Hope you get your E1 sorted soon .
Performance bikes september 95?
전설의 형님들 ㄷㄷ
Is the yz a 2 stroke 💨
Proper fairings :)
Please that these two warriors out to the nearest track for some lapping! And treat them to some new Dunlops to make them smile!
Bikes you can ride and get the most out of on the road without a raft of electronics needed just to keep you upright and out of a hedge! 200bhp+ sports bikes are a dying breed and it started once they went north of 180bhp, thy may be the pinnacle of development but its pitiful just how few they now sell and that is very telling.
De kind with them???...
I have 6 of these bikes all 90s and pre-2001 bikes.
No silly electronics this and that.
Yes I take constant care of them. But I ride them hard and they still come back for more!
Keep up the good fun. :)
I have a modern bike or two but the best fun I have is chasing my mates GSXR750m (full system) on my ‘98 Fireblade.
My dad owned that yammy a few years ago, smoked back then too 😂
You needed the srad 750 and zxr750 with them
I wonder if a new version of these old designs were ridden and compared to the newest versions that these old designs would be more fun to ride. All the electronics and xtra weight do not add to the ultimate sport bike experience
Why y’all didn’t bring a gxsr 750
I heard your not allowed on the Track without the bar end microphone things.😂😂
🏍👍
i liked CBR900, i had such bike
That looked like you were having a proper giggle. However, I noticed a Superduke GT in the background so, as I own one, I'm curious, will it be appearing in an upcoming vid?
Soon!
Excellent, I'll go get my popcorn@@BikeWorldTVshow 😄
An thats why i still own a 99 RRX fireblade, P2 zx7r and a L9 zxr400!!! You just cant beat the buzz they give you!
SRAD750 (injection model) and ZX9R next ??
Test them at the isle of man for a warm up lap and an all out bat out of hell lap.
Will never sell my 1992 blade. Awesome machine.
You bloody lovely people.
They don’t make them like that anymore! 😍
Love older bikes. keep all your rider aids. I didn't learn to ride for a computer to ride for me. older bikes have more character and are way more fun.
more like videos like this please!
Still own my 96 rrt in R127A colours exactly like the one featured.
I've had her for 20 years and would never willingly part with her.
I think this age of bike was the end of fun bikes, everything got too serious after them.
2 Hooligans racing on 2 Old fast Broads, “SUPER F.A.F”. 🤣 😂
Where is the GSXR 750 SRAD and the ninja 750?
90s bikes are the best!
2 stroke?
I had the YZF 750 and buddy had the 900 and it wasn't even close until we hit the corners he flat left my ass lol
V Max vs Diavel?
Every time people say these old bikes are (more) fun to ride, then continue riding their fancy modern shit😅
the extra capacity of the Honda letting it pull ahead I guess.. a GSXR 750 would be a nice apples for apples comparison.. apples being green, why not a Kawasaki also thrown into the pot as well
