The sportbikes will never look as good as a 916 Ducati or a 2001 Yamaha R1 1000cc sportbike. And no bike will ever look better than the 1980's motorcross bikes with the perfect symetry to every piece and part.

    The motorcycle industry does a great job of making riders feel like last years model is inadequate and slower in every way...

    • @Wide000
      @Wide000 5 років тому +20

      Indeed. Refinements... but overall, it won't change the lap times. Training and riding more will change the lap times and how long you can go. A new bike won't do that by itself. For example, David Pingree did a review of a carburated CRF450 2006 and conclude that he can do the same lap times with it than he can with the newest model. What is needed is a well adjusted bike in perfect shape, not necessarily the latest model.

    The eighties were the decade of MX bike evolution. The difference between a 1982 motocross bike and a 1989 was enormous. Every year, a different manufacturer would introduce a new piece of technology that made the rest of them look antiquated. This went on for the entire decade until it started to slow down around 1990. It was a very exciting time to be a motocross racer, to say the least.

    I’d take that bike over any new 4banger any day. My best friend had the 125rm brand new back then. I still have my 87kx125. And she rips real good.

    Had one of these, and a 1990 too. Good bike, the footpegs destroyed boots though and used to sag. I modified mine, made them much wider, built up the area the sat on to stop them sagging.

      @Ritalie 5 років тому

      So was the 1993 RM250 faster than the newer ones? Because that sounds really extreme. I wonder if they detuned them at some point? I hear the early CR500 was much faster and had a higher, sharper power band and more peak horsepower than the later models.
