watching now!
make a 90s race war documentary I'll donate because you said you don't have funds, $50 I'm pretty sure a lot of people will
Proof that history IS interesting. Its all about the delivery and these videos are a perfect example of making a potentially boring/why should I care subject really interesting. Well done!
That's good to hear because my ADHD ass has the goal of bringing intellectual stuff that you could read anywhere in a package of humor and visuals
History has always been interesting I guess the US education system really is fucking trash
Funny how topspeed can be a selling point for street bikes. For driving on the road. With speed limits.
People will buy bragging rights any day lol.
True dat
5towns
Actually the top speed of the bike is an indication of how low you can make if rev at cruising speed, motorway speeds on a Hayabusa for example are 6th gear with the engine ticking over and you have endless power in that gear for overtakes, where as motorway speed on a 600cc the engine is revving considerably higher and there is no instant power for overtakes without dropping down the gears. Not everyone is as narrow minded as you think.
im sure you have gone faster on that overpriced dirt bike then most hayabusa owners have gone...
Muffs per hour i am dying 😂😂😂
That joke wrote itself lmao
TBH your vlogs are lit but these documentary type videos really catch my attention
Bro...you know The Metatron? Famous Italian youtuber historian who speaks 8 languages? Yeah your content is just as rich,but even better because crotch rockets! I need more Illest! I NEED MOARRRR!!!
Honestly your content is absolute art. If you keep up this quality and dedication, you sir, will change it all. I never even thought of bikes before I stumbled upon your channel and now I'm hooked.
Wow! Thank you!
Man these videos are the shit, keep em coming!
Damn bro you left us hanging like that lol for real tho I was so into this... better have part 2 out quick cuz idk how long I’ll last 😂
It's coming soon! within this week!
I love bikes and just found this channel. Your delivery and wealth of information is great!!!
Great video! Looking forward to part 2!
Thanks for another awesome video 😆 I loved it
you always make the best motorcycle history videos. Love your work.
One of the main reasons I love - The illestrator - is because not only is this channel motovlogs but also covers the history of motorcycles in a very interesting and informative way. It makes me understand and appreciate what we have today. Keep it up fam, you're one of my favourite UA-cam creators.
Also, this is probably the only channel that can make documentaries and also make me laugh whilst learning.
Laughing and learning? I have done my job! Thank you for the praise
Awesome man. I know these vids take a long time to make, b they are absolutely great, don't stop.
Working on making these style videos a little bit more often...but not too often because they do take a while lol
Awesome video man. I love your content. I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning.
Still here? Awesome.
Great video I ride a 97 zx7r I am in love with the way a carbureted bike sounds. Again great video can't wait for pt2
Can you please do a video on the 750 line of sport bikes would love to see what information you come up with
I have a 98 Zx7r ^__^ the Kawi induction noise is music to my ears!
Same. I kind of miss the carbs on my YZF.
I'll consider a video on the 750s. Not much history there though.
I really enjoy watching the videos you produce. Entertaining and informative! C'MONN HONDAHH
I could watch this for an hour straight xD great video
I love your commentaries man!! Much love from Michigan
This was amazingly funny and enjoyable. Part II here i come...
Dude. You're hilarious! Keep it up. All the way from NZ
HA. Spaghet cameo makes this video epic. Good one.
Can't wait for part 2 to drop!!!
This channel is a gem fam, I'm kinda mad you haven't blown up. I used to watch do it with dan early on and this has that same kinda charm. Wish the best for you with this.
Thank you sir!
Dude you are really funny. I like you the most of all moto youtubers. Good luck with your channel!
Thank you so much
I love that you included a clip of the 83(ish) gs550es. Lisa is itching to have ours back to life. Another great video!
I envy you guys. I wish I had the space to fully restore bikes too. Thanks for watching
Good stuff man! Well doNe and entertaining!

These are you best vids 💯
They better be. They take probably 5 times longer than the vlogs to make
- The illestrator - keep up the good good work your shit gone blow up soon bro
A+ vid. Keep it up. I expect to see these on some documentary channel sometime soon right before the Ancient Aliens reboot. Good stuff.
Stellar video bro. Your comedy had me laughing so hard that I think my face is going to hurt for a week. Thank U thank U thank U. Couldn’t have come at a better time I’ve had a really shitty past couple days. Sad part I do remember the 80s yes I was just a teenager but I do remember it.
Sorry to hear about your recent days, glad I could boost the mood though. I was born in '95 so I BARELY even remember the 90s XD
The aerodynamics of a damn parachute👌👌👌 shit is gold yo😭
"Muffs per hour" dead 😂😂🤣
Liked, subscribed and noti'd for the accents and history. Dope channel
Welcome aboard!
One more thing I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next video and I promise I won’t cheat.
Working on it!
Very well done. Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Wtf I didn't click the bell fuck! I love your channel dude keep the quality content up
AT 1:30 I saw my Hurricane. I had one for several years and it was such a great bike. I sold it in a fit of frustration/worry over a new baby coming and not being able to give it the care it needed... I miss it. It was such a great bike.
OMG!!!!!!! Give me the part 2! I NEED the part 2!!
I plan to drop part 2 on saturday :)
Muffs per hour. Perfect.
“Muffs per hour”😂
I give this a standing ovation. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, thank you!
I love the way those bikes look, bring back memories. Love the sport bike and the fairing, must have.
I'm more of a 90s sportbike guy myself, but it's interesting to see the stuff we still see today being developed out of the 80s
Love your videos
That old footage of Box Hill (in the UK) from back in the 90's 👌. Hundreds of people used to group on the grass verge to watch bikes hoon it on one wheel 🙃
People don't do it anymore?
- The illestrator - It's still a popular spot to this day, in the summer when it's not raining (rarity here in the uk) the place is rammed packed with bikes. We just don't get the crowds chillin on the verge watching anymore, the police have none of it and move people on. The council are planning on installing average speed cameras soon too to kill the last of the fun 😡
Nice video, very well done.
Thanks for checking it out
Awesome video.
Lmao I love the guido voice, muff per hour
1:14 Lmgdaooo that face 😂
Oh boy, I wonder what happens in part 2!
I know the answer but I won't say. I will say....Another phenomenal job.
Dammit...gimme Part 2! LOL
They need to bring back that head light style
Honourable mention goes to the Yamaha RZ350, produced from 1983-1995. It wasn't the speed king, but it was damn quick and nimble. It could keep up with much more powerful bikes. I know you'd have a blast thrashing one around.
Haha, "beat you plebs to the punch"!
Love your wids, keep up the good work, the quality of ur wids dont match 20K subs, though u had hundrede of thousand
Nice part 1... owned a GPZ900R, 1000RX and CBR1100XX Bird.... which I’m assuming makes an appearance in Pt2.. so off I click :)
Awesome stuff. I own a Blackbird, my brother rides a ZZR1100. The 'Bird requires some work to ride it but has delightful controls, but his ZZR feels really nimble compared. But has more 'clunky' controls. Both great bikes in their own right.
The guy that taught me at the MSF ran this pristine, clean, original Blackbird and it was dope. Didn't even know the bike existed before he schooled the class on it
He did the course on one? Awesome :). Quite a change from the CBF500f and MT-07's they run the courses on here. 'Birds are a bit heavy, but really friendly bikes. I got a burgundy red '98 with carbs and Danmoto slip ons. I'm 6 foot 4 so I like a bit bigger bike. Here in the Netherlands they are quite affordable at this point in time.
Oh no they used 250's back when I learned. The Blackbird was his personal bike that he road to and from the school. They actually went to harley 883s afterward and if you want you can choose a grom too
Heh, that's pretty sweet tho. The courses work a bit different over here. Because they have these age/power restrictions (A1-A2-A full). Though the courses you take are really complete. You don't have a choice in bikes though. You get what the educator supplies. The CB500f's were pigs to be honest, the MT-07's are really sweet bikes imo.
The 80's were really fun.
Can you say "Wendy's got that 4 for 4 deal goin onnnnn...oohhhh yeaaaaahh" in that voice?
That would be a god damn lie because that shit is creeping up to like 5 bucks cent by cent.
- The illestrator - Wendys is still better than McDonalds
No argument here!
Well done sir!
:D
Homo'ligatet 😂 love it bro, great vid
Some say "Huh-maw-ligate'" but idk which is correct....unless it's a regional thing!?
A lot of words are, yea. Ive always heard it like that^ thats why i laugh. All love tho
Criminal that this video has so little views and comments. I’ve watched it many times. It is actually art like many people say.
I just wanna know what that song is in the background. Is it The Waltz of the Flowers?
I feel like I've seen your channel in the past but i dont remember unsubbing, maybe a utube bug?
Possibly. I know that actually happens to people sometimes.
This guy is fucking hilarious. Subbed
Good research.
Bwahahaha muffs per hour!! Yes!!
Yip i had one of these ZX10's.....1988, what beautiful bike it is, so ahead of it's time it was! I have a ZX11 now.......also known as a ZZR1100D5. Honda made the Blackbird, then Suzuki made the Hayabusa to say this bird eats that bird, then Kawasaki said "fuck your birds" and brought out the ZX14, then to make sure Suzuki didn't start 'getn' ideas they brought out their stealth weapon the H2R!! i'm glad to be a Kawasaki owner!! :-)
Ill, you get a decent riding jacket yet? The sweater I saw in earlier vids, with the tail flying out behind...kind of embarrassing? But your content is first rate. Keep it up.
That's my knitted cardigan. I have a sleeved MX style jersey for the street but I don't wear it because its so cumbersome. I'd like to buy a nother riding jacket but theres one specific one that I want and in the end I usually just opt out because I'ts incredibly rare that I exceed 40mph and 80% of the time im doing 30 in the city.
I wear the armored jersey when I know i'm gonna hit the highway.
Yup, the VF1000, got one of those.
YES THANK YOU
I come here and wait with patience for the BUSA to make its inevitably entry 😂
Edit: I’ll wait longer still
Big dog! It's gonna show up alright.
1:14 the italian flag LMAOOOOO
Blink and you'd miss that shit lmao
I mean I already know the answer cause I already know the story, but I won't fuck it up for you. That would be foul, deadass. Great job with the vid tho!
In the crew the ninja 900 was my favorite because it would never get picked and always dusted my friends
Dude, no lie, your videos are so goddamn entertaining. Don't know what your going to school for, but your future is bright.
I'm gonna search: "www.chocolatecams.com" on my co-workers computer. 👌
Lmfao! and I go to school for political science. It's writing intensive so I apply that ability to write...to youtube.
Lol I love you!
Wuv u toooo
I like petty bikes
Spaghett sighting @1:15!
Good video
i have a cbr600f2 i feel like its big brother is next on the list..
The Ninja line has been troublesome at times but Kawi has never had to rely on motorcycles. The 85 turbobike was tuned back to allow the 900 and bigger eclipse the speeds and power. Twist of the wastegate and we are there. These are all really old machines that take true love to keep going. Hard to find parts that can be expensive. Buy out lots from junkyards if you can find them and have the room. Seriously, who ever needs to go more 150? I haven't.
One thing I seem to hear, and see online is that most of those bikes are still on the road in large amounts back in Japan. But I guess that WOULD make sense. Although it's kind of weird in relation to their stance on old cars.
- The illestrator - Only until you ride one. They handle and brake great. And are really fast. They are dinosaurous by now. And if they weren't I wouldn't be able to have one.
- The illestrator - it fits the legal BS for Japan but boosted a 750 can easily make the power of a much larger bike.
I'm wondering who's going to take the crown next. Maybe the new hayabusa?
I guess I’ll wait 😂
Lmao, if you reeeeeally want to you can just look on wikipedia tbh
Somebody has been watching regular car reviews, when he did the busa.
Well I watch every single RCR video ever when it comes out, but aside from that he did that video like 3 years ago. I did this one because I was asked by a subscriber lol.
Spagoooot
My very first bike was a 1984 Kawasaki GPz that I got off craigslist for $1,000. I will fight anyone who says the golden age of motorcycling wasnt 1984-1995
That sucks, we used to be faster than the fastest cars back then, now we stand NO CHANCE of top end acceleration.
I mean, yeah, 0-300 in less than 18s (average 1000cc bike), and H2R 11s, but our top speeds are embarrasing.
We could've have more hp, insane acceleration and 350 km/h top speed for average bikes instead of 310...
Wasn't the gpz in top gun a turbo?
I think that's one of those debated topics of the internet
The GPZ900 actually stuck around until 03 in Japan
Good point
That Tomcat is the best because spoiler.
Lmao, that spoiler is so goofy
"Part of the frame" engine design may be lighter, and is ridged, but it's also a serious stresser to the engine that can cause failures and problems.
That's why a lot of cruisers, baggers, and choppers, avoid this design.
