I bought a CB1100F new. Times got tough and I had to sell it. Honda had it in the US for just one year. I regret selling it. Would love to have another.
I cried when I passed on my GPZ900R. It was devastating for me. I couldn't take more than two bikes when I moved. I kept the "more reliable because it's newer" TL.... That didn't work out.... The RGV at the end of the video looks a bit special. Nice upgrades to f & r suspension, as well as the exhaust. I went from an RGV M to the GPZ9. That was an interesting transition from no engine braking and scalectrics handling, to immense engine braking and handling like a fat bird covered in washing up liquid
Just the Norton Commando. I have an early Sportster (63) . This guy I met said take out my Norton if you think that sportster is quick. He wasn’t joking ‼️
Great video and collection of great bikes thanks for taking me back to my youth. Mate tell you what for AI you look very much alive to me. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another trip down memory lane, especially with the first two. Thanks for your efforts.. Notice you got up out of that chair pretty easily mate, no hard core bang ups (im just jealous)..
The AI is close, but its not perfect. Cant imagine what they think a decent engine sounds like if they cant pick AI idiosyncrasies. Great vid, as usual, 👍🍻 .@@motorcyclecafe
@@l.a.raustadt518 I know buddy insane isn't it. I have had more than comment like it, I can only assume it's because I almost never appear in my videos. But who would want to look at me LOL.
@@richarddodds9326 yes it was very new back then. They went back to dual shocks on latee model, I'm not sure why. Those early 750s are very good bikes! Better than the later ones, in my opinion.
I've got an 82 VF750C Magna with about 45,000 kms( 28,000 miles) on the clock. Low kms because it was an American import back in 2011 and when I got it four years ago it only had done about 13,000 miles( 21.000 kms) it still had the US speedo on it. I've had to replace it since to one that's in kms hence the way the distances are stated. Besides from the tiny main tank it's great.
@@davidrochow9382 I have covered those in more detail in a previous video. A few more horsepower and it may have been the 1st muscle bike. Their performance was very good, especially for a 750.

Nice! I had the Virago 1100, great bike for its time… smooth and comfortable!
Yep, one of the most comfortable bikes I have ever ridden!
Wish could still get them
I saw a Katana 1100 yesterday, parked in my road in Ormond Melbourne. It looked immaculate.
I love my 1978 SR500 had one exactly like it in the 80's
I still have my beautiful 1981 Honda CB900-F2 BOLD'OR and it rides just like new. People love having their photo taken beside it!
@@dogman129 yep they are a very nice looking bike. Good on you for keeping it so long.

Excellent choice for the first bike. The original Ninja.
Still good even by todays standards

@@StoffelDilligas in my opinion the original gpz was and still is one of the best bikes ever made!

I did a bit on those older sportsters in a previous video "The Big Bikes of the 1960s" the results may surprise even you. 😉

@@davegoldspink5354 thanks for your kind words buddy!
Rd 500 lc and Fxrp are my favorite 80's bikes.
I’ve had most of them over the years, to me yam virago 750 se was the most enjoyable.👍🏴
@@threeferrets422 they were very solid. Never owned one but rode one once.
Loooooove the Z900

What morons thought you were an AI-generated channel? I've used some AI software and never seen a button for Crazy Aussie Biker . . .
Loved the vid!

I recently got 2 1981,2 basket case 750 virago. I like the air cooled 55 HP shaft Dr. Mono shock looks like a hardtail.

We didn't call them a Virago here in Australia they were XV750's
@@hodaka1000 yes you are correct the early ones were just xv here.
@@motorcyclecafe
I don't think I ever rode one but I did know a bloke who had one so I might've
I remember riding a few silver XV1000's (920's ?)
Nice video mate.

Yamaha 1100 Maxim. Unbeatable.
Don't forget the Yamaha RZ350. She may be small, but she definitely had a chip on her shoulder. 😅
@@samgrabenhorst6297 yep for sure it was an awesome machine. I've covered the liquid cooled RD previously. Cheers
