Thanks, I agree 100 percent regarding sound👍 I've had over 70 bikes, kz1000 best engine sounds, of all... Just bought a zz, 11 Have not ridden yet, (carb issues) But looking forward 🎉

Enjoyed the video, Lad🤟🤟

Nice ride mate, the road looks like fun. You might need a new left hand glove 🙂. I agree with everything you said about the ZZR. I think one of the reasons the bike has nor attained classic status is that there were just so many sold that they are not rare enough but I suspect that will change in the future. Looking at you all wrapped up and looking cold brings back memories. When I lived in the UK over 20 years ago I used to ride all year round on my ZZR. Glad I have sunshine all year round now. Another advantage is that they have no need to put salt on the roads here so rust is rare on both bikes and cars. Enjoy your ride mate.

Hi paul i had 2 zzr 1100 a c1 and a d7 in its day was a proper tool a mans bike ! Very fast the handling was a little vague if you were pushing on at pace the d7 model was a better bike like you say can get these for very little money .

Hi paul its andy you ok glad you are liking the vfr1200 i know you had one before still have mine and the 2 750 models all mine away for the winter now my 1200 love every minute off riding it had it 3yr now I have a double buble screen on and it works well as had my seat done by a guy tony archer not far from me thats made it loads more better on the bum . Also got some bar risers off ebay from china same idea as the 750/800 ones take the clip on off and its a spacer that drops down the fork lifts bar a good half inch very easy to fit takes about 10 minutes. Yeah my gripes are find clutch heavy and fuel range not the best but rest off the bike is great mine on 15500 miles now still low miles done 8000 thousand on it last month got 2 new tyres for it michelin road 6 gt had road 5 before these tyres are the best ones i have ever had last for good miles and the grip is great not tried the 6 ones yet due to winter been here will update you when i use it in the spring next year.

No gloves very unwise

Hi, I’ve heard rumors about the heat transmitted to the right leg from the radiator and the exhaust manifold near the cylinder. Have you noticed anything? Thanks for the video, it’s a great review! :)

I have the ZX11C model! It is a beast!

Nice job. You're a better man than me. I have developed a less involved way to paint fork legs. I use Hammerite silver high gloss and a very fine, really small brush. Leave the fork legs on the bike, sand them down and then paint them by hand with this small brush. On my VFR you can see it was done by hand when you look closely. On older BMWs you almost cannot see that the legs were painted by hand. They have a sort of rough surface that hides brush strokes very well.

Thanks for the summary of what you have done as I am about to make some changes to mine. Can you let me know how your screen preforms. Also the make of the rear rack and sissy bar. Thanks very much.

You already mentioned the indicators. Lots. Just saying..

You get used to the indicators, becomes second nature.

Awesome man!

Thanks for the video. Not unbelievable, it is a Honda VFR!

Thanks for the video. Please share how you find the effectiveness of the new screen 👍🏻

I also have a K1100LT 1996 and i love it so much. Its the smoothest bile i have ever ridden. I also have a BMW R1150R 2002 which i bought this year. same Company 2 totally different bikes and i love them both. I liked very much your videos and wish you always a safe ride.

Lovely bike , like all ZZR's . I'm on the 14 now 👍👍

Great looking bike & great prospective to have an older bike. I hankered for the ZZR1100 but was a bit scared of having an older machine vs current ethanol fuel etc. I ended up buying a 03 ZZR1200 in june this year - love it!! They are great bikes. Thanks for the interesting video & ride safe 👍

I’ve used GoPros for years and always been happy with the video quality from them but they simply aren’t reliable. I’ve lost lots of footage with it freezing up and also lost audio. A few months ago I bit the bullet and invested in a DJI Action 4. I already had a DJI drone so I knew how good their cameras were so the DJI action camera was a no brainer. Since switching the action camera over to the DJI I’ve had zero issues, the audio quality is much better and it’s simply worked every single time. Your spot on when you say that GoPro will have to up their game if they want to stay on top but I personally think they have had their day now. The DJI set up and reliability leaves GoPro behind!

The best stuff in life gets put into barrels and bottles then sits for a while and comes out again as glorious new stuff.

Breadth of experience is a beautiful thing.

Love my 1994, power is so intoxicating and its road manners are outstanding. Just recently installed a set of Hepco & Becker 30L hard cases for touring.

Us older guys are finding that our tourers were getting too heavy. I traded in my 2018 Street Glide Sp. in for a 2022 Heritage Classic and love it. I'mo 70 145 pounds at 5'6". I can back it into parking spots now.

I have been riding this bike for many years, a BMW K1100 LT 1994. It is a wonderful motorbike, always was and still is. Very good power, always there when you need it in any gear. Almost no problems, except small things that happen with time. The bike is made from the best materials you can find and was engineered to perfection, well ahead of its time. ENJOY

Had one new 30 years plus ago. Lovely bike.

Your a 100% right

Lovely ! Do the heated grips really work ?

I've always liked the design of the VFR1200. I think the design of the tank makes the opinion that it holds more fuel than it does in reality. Just convince yourself of being 46 again and do another 500 mile tour😊😊

loved the video kinda making me start looking on ebay for a zzr 1100 missing mine big time ohh and was that a pot hole that made u squeel lol

That's what a lot of people forget who own bikes, they must be ridden regularly to keep them in shape which lessens problems ocurring from lack of use.

Ive always used a front wheel chock to hold the bike !

I have a D5, had her for 7 years now, i love it :)

Thanks for the video! Is there any way to re-position those cables so that they do not obstruct one's view of the instrument cluster? I've seen this on other bikes as well like the Kawasaki KLX 300. It seems very annoying.

Not holding the (left side) handlebar with your thumb under - VERY bad habit and VERY DANGEROUS!

I'm looking to buy one just now. Its a toss up between zzr1100 and the 1200.

Spot on guys. You old faithful.

VFR 1200?

honda vrf 1200 for deffo

VFR1200

gloves mate, get them on, were only here once, great bike.

Thankyou for taking time to make these ZZR videos. Ive owned a '99 D7 for 17yrs and recently thought about selling. Your video has made me see sense. No way am i selling. Thanks again 👍🏻

Riding without gloves!? First thing you put down when you fall, bare skin and tarmac even at walking pace, doesn't bear thinking about.

90's bikes are gaining popularity as they offer so much for so little. I have a slowly growing collection because I can have several for far less than the cost of anything new. For me the big difference is now I don't need reliability so much as I work from home, I have time to tinker in the garage and I have the experience and tools to fix most problems.

Nice ride .I have a D 1994. Thank you for letting us hear your ZZR in it's glory. I enjoyed it but Just one small thing, why no gloves / boots?

What's not to like here ZZR 1100 are absolute beautiful bikes I absolutely loved my teacher's ZZR 1100 everything was cool as about it and your right these were the super bikes before super bikes were a thing really.

Another great video mate. I have a video on YT on why I love the ZZR 1100 and I echo your sentiments exactly on things like ABS etc. Ride Fast, Ride Safe mate.

A lovely example mate. It is good that I left the UK over 20 years ago because I used to pin my ZZR 1100 all the time. I would not survive there now with all your speed cameras etc. In regard to the handling, small changes can make a huge difference. I have matched front progressive springs and a rear shock set up for my riding style and the concentric adjusters rotated 180 degrees that totally transforms the turn in. With those mods it easily keeps up with most thing around the bends and leaves many others red faced when they realize it older than they are. I am lucky enough to own a ZZR 1100, ZX12R and a ZX14R. The 12 and 14 are of course faster but there is just something about riding the 1100 that "stirs the soul" and leaves me with a stupid grin on my face for ages afterwards. Any bike which can manage 180, like the ZZR, is by definition, very fast. Love your videos mate and keep on enjoying the ZZR.

Nice to see another ZZR fan. In regard to the problem with the front mudguard (as you say a well known issue) I got fed up with it and fitted a 1 piece item from Japan. Looks just like the original, removed the weak spot and is much easier to take off.

Great machine. I got mine (D model, 29k now) a few years back, new fork springs, shock, brakes, disks and exhaust system. You are right, so many are completely shot! You got a good one!

sweet machine mister
