I was lucky enough to be able to buy a brand new Ducati 916 in 1997 .. I have two other bikes as well , it's only got 10k on it and is absolutely mint condition, but these days it lives in the front room , it's my piece of art I tell the missus ☺ every 3 months when the missus is out I push it out and fire it up keeps everything working beautiful, it's fitted with Termignomi Exhausts and sounds amazing, I just hope neighbours don't complain, as it's all put back inside by the Time the missus returns, and she's none the wiser . 😎 so far.. .🤔
As a rider in the 60s we never envisaged any bike like these. They are pure genius of engineering and visual masterpieces. The sound and performance are out of this world. Sadly it's all visual pleasure now. Many thanks.
The 916 brings a ton of money in good shape here in the states. If I had one I would park it in the living room and just look at it when I wasn't riding it.
I hate the Fireblade, without the Blade, the Yamaha YZF750R would have been the best 90's race rep! I have FZR'S, both 600's and 1000's in my collection plus a YZF750R. I realise that you only covered 5 bikes and it was a good video.
I loved all of these bikes (especially the 916) but was in school and just starting off my career so could not afford anything until 2003. I always thought I might find a used version (any of them) but none ever came my way.

I’d have to ride the thing

You forget bloody uncomfortable 😂

748 is the smart alternative
Another great line up of bikes. I will always love the inline 4 engines. Cheers
Owned a lot of fours but I honestly have always preferred the character of a V twin
@@bikerdood1100 👍
Had a Fireblade back in the day. Absolute rocket ship 😊
True
Cracking bikes here.
Remember them well
Cool video! 😁
Cool bikes I think
I've owned 4 of 'em. ZXR750 with an aftermarket White Power shock was my favourite! Be happy to own any of 'em though, all great bikes!
👍

That’s a bit of a mad argument 😂
I restrict myself to 5 or you end up with a very long video
The GSX-R 750 was the "least insane". Brilliant.
All things are relative
Good one. Rode 'em all, owned 2! And you're correct, the 750s are the best Gixxers, at least for me.
I think if most people
Friend of mine had the 1100
That thing did not like to turn 😂

Always time
I agree the Ducati 916 styling takes some beating 👍
It’s a beautiful thing
How about late 80's early 90's 2 stroke 250's?
Rgv nsr etc?
Definitely on my to do list
Your video was good but from my experience you missed a few!
Not when there’s only room for 5 I didn’t
Or would you prefer I made a 1 hour video that no one watches
Always time for more videos after all
The FZR and the Blade weren't Race Reps, their race reps were of the 90's were the RC45 and the YZR-750. Yeah I'm being picky.
Rc45 was a race bike not a rep
Your talking homologation specials
Different thing
well just chopped in my rt 1100r for a 1999 zx6r and am now a 63 year old hooligan god that beemer was boring 🙂
But comfortable
Hope your not planning on any long journeys 😂
Not my sort of bikes, my reactions are far too slow these days but an interesting presentation none the less.
They ain’t the most comfortable that’s for sure
