    i owned a zx-11, this bike literally ruined a lot of things for me. I can tell you that the reason it was called a ninja was because it was an assassin. the exileration of speed was so incredible, you couldn't help but smile. it didn't like going slower than 120mph or it would burn your leg hairs off.... I did some incredible things on that bike, sliding the rear to turn hard, sliding on the front tire like ice... tank slapper... but never truly laid it down, only dropped it. its so heavy, when i first got on it it tipped right over from being so top heavy with fuel. it ruined all rides at amusement parks that are supposed to be fast like superman. you could shut off the engine and turn it back on to make the double barrel shotgun pipes blast off. very very fun bike, i racked up about 10k in tickets before i sold it.

A lot of it depends on what state you live in, but in many parts of the country you can get away with practically limitless speeding tickets if you're willing to pay. Washington state is a good example where traffic lawyers are actually quite cheap and can save you from almost anything. I've been pegged a few times over 110mph and my driving record is clean. Averaged about $350 paid to an attorney each time to get the ticket dismissed. .

    you gotta love how much of the japanese automobile industry is focused on motorcycles
    they constantly design low-end, affordable rides on the puny 125cc for the average man with the same passion and care that they'd put into their big 1000cc hyper sports. I particularly love the low-end side of things because of the heritage with the bosozoku since that whole thing was based on using small bikes that were easily customized/acquired, which probably fueled boosted the market for moar low-end bikes. Plus the vintage looks and analog displays are an actual godsend in these times of digital displays and carbon fiber dreams.
    As much as i love the hayabusa for what it did and all sports for that manner, i can't help but have a special little place in my heart reserved for the everyday man's 125cc/250cc. They perfectly embody the basic, primal reason for why we ride in the first place: to enjoy the ride.

      He was talking about other countries in relation to Japan and outside of Europe, so it was technically correct. He didn't specifically say that Europe was a country or that he believed that to be the case. I think that it was just an example of nuance and that it was just oddly/badly phrased because it was something he said improvisationally and not fully thought through. "Europe and other countries - I guess, that means America..." (meaning countries outside of the European continent). That would be my thought on what happened with that. Also, fuck you, Marco Ferreira.

    Hey big fan of Donut been watching since the beginning love your team and your content always produce awesome videos thank you for that. I want to give a topic suggestion if I may, a lot of people don't know about the CBR 900RR or CBR Fireblade, its origins and how instrumental its effects on the entire sportbike industry. It has an amazing story. the creator Tadao Baba started working for Honda as an assembly worker or something of that nature then worked his way up to test rider and some how landed the opportunity to create and design Hondas new generation of sportbike. At the time (early 90s) sport bikes weren't very sporty they were heavy and unwieldy machines. His creation and vision produced the 900RR and it took the rest of the industry literally a decade to produce bikes that could rival the Fireblade. The concept for the bike was (Total control) and the name originally was supposed to be Lightning! (up to speed maybe?) but that word is very loosely translated in Japanese and the translation mistake gave the name Fireblade to the bike and it stuck. listen guys those that know of these bikes know how special they are. but there are so many who don't know about these bikes and honestly if it wasnt for the Fireblade the whole sportbike industry might look very different today. this was the bike that changed it all and I know you guys would do an awesome job telling its story.
