i owned a green and black kr1s when i lived in london 25yrs ago unreal how fast it was 140mph in a heart beat .iv it was better than all the 250s and 400s at the time.the rsv aprilia came along and the rest is history.1 of if not the greatest 2 stroke 250s ever built
@waddozxr Thanks for the info. Definitely wowed when he passed on the left just after the mountain. Nice riding from you and the KR1S by the way. Good going!
I was nearly in tears and biting the keyboard to this video, I've been off my baby now for about 2 years and all but forgotten what its like to ride on the very limit. This with the music brings it back hard. I used to work at Fowlers UK and yes the 6's n 1000's are lovely and undeniably awsum I am climbing the walls until my Cagiva is back together. No seat, no headlight, just an 80kg track bike, diddly 39hp StanStephens engine and the most expensive rubber this side of a Durex factory...
Great video. Listen to that old zxr 400 sing. Now, I'm no expert, but this video shows you just how much fun a zxr 400 can be. Your lines are great and you get on the power nice and early. The big bikes pull can pull a few bike lengths on the straights, but they have no chance everywhere else. Looked like fun!
thanks for the great vid mate. it brought back good memories of me racing my KR1S against my Brothers CBR 6. He could get away from me on the straight bits of road, but on the twisty bits i could out turn him, out brake him and out perform him...lol I own a ZX6R now but i miss the noise of a KR1S exhaust in the power band.
What is completely INSANE is at the end of this clip at 5:57 you can see a guy on an old 50's 60's bike run through these guys like exlax! He is knifing through them on 50 year old technology!!!!!!!!!!
I would have liked to have seen more of the guy at the end. I dont know if it was a ducati or what ? but he sure showed everyone how to corner. There is a lot more available from your machines but its having the confidence and skill and trust in the machine.
haha e waz quick but dat waz a classic ducati 350 duno if u herd it but all of a sudden there waz a v-twin in da back ground n he appeared still look at da bikes e waz beatin
Only just noticed comments I was the one on cbr 6 in orange wolf leathers still remember that day !cheers for recording it . Got vid on richgsxr750
If I wanted crappy dance music I'd go to a disco! Music off please.

Who the fuck was that cutting through the pack at the end? 5:57 does anyone know what that bike was?

@tote84 I've seen it's the best rider in this movie I think :p It's the ghost of mike hailwood????
was that bill swallow on the old single show you how to do hall bends at the end?
looked a bit busy at the start
always dreamt of getting a KR-1S but got a TZR250 instead - I was more then happy escpecially my m8 on his RGV250 - we used to rip it up everywhere.

The old twin was fantastic. Nice ride by all, though. You have to respect the old two strokes, too,....don't you.
dude on the twin must have bollocks the size of melons, respect.

Great vid & great riding. 250 2 strokes vs 400s are always a good matchup, but I'm surprised the ZXR was so much quicker on the straight.
that geez at the ends a beast. cant beleive thats an old v twin. thought 125 for sure. thats how a decent rider does it.
haha e waz quick but dat waz a classic ducati 350 duno if u herd it but all of a sudden there waz a v-twin in da back ground n he appeared still look at da bikes e waz beatin
