At Complete Rider we look at Motorcycles as a Work of Art, they should be looked at and admired for their design lines, colours, stickers, chrome, carbon fibre, wheel and tyre size or just the fact that they have two wheels and an engine! They should also be listened to for their engine and exhaust note and they should be ridden. This RU-vid Channel is not about us, it's about bikes, so you won't see us, ever, just lots of great looking bikes. Please enjoy the videos and ride safe.
It needs tuning carbs jets, exhaust pipes for more horsepower, upgrade valves and cam, airfilter, upgrade chain teeths for speed, and little be more upgrade aerodynamic cover with mirrors, and top speed will be over 300 km/h+ light rider and shut down some kilograms from motorcycle.
Hi mate, where are located? im currently doing some TLC on a 1990 cbr400rr (nc29) and would it in one of your vids. its a beautiful bike and si iconic and rare.
If the bike is ever in Melbourne, I'll film it for sure! I raced against the CBR400's on a VFR in the late 90's and they are great bikes! I'm working on a vid of my NC30 which I hope to get up soon. Ride safe and Subscribe! 🤟
I have a "21 1000sx which I added a full Akrapovic exhaust, flashed the ECU and tuned it. The bike now has 140 HP with 81 ft/lbs of torque at the wheel. Plus it knocked 20 pounds off the bike with the exhaust. The bike woke up and is a completely different animal with all the restrictions removed....
Good to hear. This will be good information for many owners who watch this. So I take it the Catalytic Convertor has been deleted? Thanks for the watch!
I just spoke with the owner, the sissy bar was an original Suzuki product. Although it looked good the chrome work was pitting and rusting within a couple of years. He was very disappointed with the quality and recommends you find a good aftermarket product. Thanks for the watch. Ride safe and subscribe!
58 yr olde Postie in NZ here- fangin around daily in a hilly town on a NBC 110- minimum wage n no breaks- but, dammmm, I love it - best job I've ever had ;)
Make longer shows. And when you say you’ll rev a twostroke machine up, well don’t play the soundtrack of a fourstroke machine. Lazy !!! But, as I said - longer, more detailed shows . And don’t try to fool us again !! Got it ?
@stephenalumbaugh2031 They are a brand called Samson. I believe they are a slip on muffler. I don't know if they still make them though. www.samsonusa.com Ride safe and Subscribe ✌️
I call it "Modern Japanese Art" Yep mine is living in the house entrance hall. drive.google.com/file/d/1ekAkB58D1vlSqbucdzAVPd2k4eG3ocjQ/view?usp=sharing
How can you tell a good one from a bad one? Theres a lot out their with modifications beyond belief, most I’m not interested in. I’m thinking of buying a later model version so am concerned about maintenance costs and annoyed that they didn’t come with cruise control. Thoughts?
Great video well done. Have you ridden a Duke 390. I own one . If yes Is this bike a lot better . I like low down torque. When does it peak out thanks. I did subscribe 👍
Thanks for the watch. Yes I have ridden both. The 660 feels a bit more substantial and a bit more sure footed but the KTM is more nimble and great to chuck around. I haven't ridden one yet but I'd love to have a crack on the Duke690 as I love a big single. Ride save and thanks for the sub and give the free slow speed course a go! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BDHV-YPKKxg.html
Yes a noticeable difference in power but they really are completely different bikes at a different price point. You will probably have more fun riding the duke hard to keep up with the 600 LAMS bikes. And that's where the fun is😁
🥲its 22k rpm not 5000 🥹 those short shift killing the engine by the way 90s devil in 250 segment i own one it’s thrilling machine to rev red line and fly . ride safe awsome content buddy. also yeah japan restricted ecu to limit but i met guy who bypass it and it runs 234 max recoding with few modifications and fully carborn fiber body kit
I had my 1800 for nearly 5 years now. And I love it to bits. I have it checked over every 2 years. I went down to Portugal on it. And she has been very good.
I had a ZX-10 and a ZX-11 in college. They were outstanding. So much so, I bought another ZX-11 last year. It still fit perfectly and transported me to my youth. There's just something special about these bikes.
I'm an almost 80-year-old Canadian who hasn't had a bike for about 40 years but just came across one of these, a 2002, for $3,500 Canadian with only 22,000 clicks on it. Sure is tempting but my better half would probably kill me.
Well, you've got to die of something! I say buy the bike and she won't be able to catch you to do the deed!🤣 You could always buy it and put it in the dinning room and look at it! Thanks for the watch and comment.
I think it's because they were way ahead of their time when they came out. People either really liked them or hated them but as other bike's designers have taken elements of it for their bikes over the years, it seems a bit more normal? Well that's my thinking anyway but I do agree that more people see the beauty in it now 20 years later. Thanks for the watch and the comment.
It looks nice n clean , I like it in that grey Man! Cheers for showing it and I hope you have many more happy years! I think when it first came out the Journos were all too intense and sceptical, it needs us to take a step back and look at the bike as a whole ,not a black whole, and those little features are there to delight the owner. I'm like it coz you can take it over rough terrain, do a jump with it and it won't snap or fall apart. These will start to be sought after very soon and the value will start to rise. Your lucky to have a beauty!✌️
Great informative video but being an educational video I must correct a few things. The image you show as a CT90 is not. It is a CT200. These were the precursers of the CT90 but are different in having a pushrod rather than OHC motor and rather having a 2 speed transfer case they have 2 sprockets with one very large (clearly seen in the photo) that acts as the low range. The rider carried a small piece of extra chain and when required low range would part the chain, fit the extra piece and fit it to the large sprocket. Despite the CT200 name they are actually a 90. In 1968 the first CT90 K0 was introduced. Like the CT200 it has cantilever front suspension and the air box on the down tube but had a new OHC engine with 2 speed transfer case. In 1969 the CT90 K1 was introduced with hydraulic front suspension and air box on the left drawing from under the rack in the same configuration of all later models. The second issue is the distinction between CT110 and "Postie Bike". All postie bikes are CT110s but not all CT110s are postie bikes. The bike you show is not actually a postie bike but is what was sold in Australia up to about 2013 I think as a CT110AG. They were sold in North America up to 1986 as the CT110 and in Japan as the "Hunter Cub". These are 6 volt bikes with 2 speed transfer box. CT90s all had 2 speed boxes and were made up to 1979. Australia Post did use these and I have a 1978 with original AP logo and garage number. The CT110 was introduced in 1980 and although it looked similar has multiple mechanical and electrical differences I won't go into here. The 2 speed box was dropped and does not occur in 1980 and 81 models but an outcry in the USA (their biggest market) caused it to be reintroduced in 1982. Bikes without the 2 speed box continued to be made for Australia and New Zealand post and would be the first actual "postie bikes". Actual CT110 postie bikes never had a 2 speed box. Somewhere in the mid 1990s the postie bikes were modified and were imported in parallel with CT110AGs which really didn't change. The biggest change was in postie bikes was they became 12 volt with the pulser in the left cover rather than in the head. You can see the bulge in the case. Other changes are the speedo was changed from the one in the headlight case to a round one sitting above the handlebars as the original one was hard to see with bags on there, the battery cover is larger and a different shape and thicker spokes were fitted. I call my bike a "postie bike" as that is what people understand but it is actually a private import 1993 model Hunter Cub from Japan with 13K on the clock but basically the same as the bike you show. It was not compiant for road registration but I just bought a 2011 postie bike frame for $100 and swapped everything onto it. It had no right or center stand but I sourced and fitted them too. Mine will do 93kph on the flat with no wind if I put my head between the handlebars. About 87kph if I sit up straight. I weigh 93kg.
I have a 2001 UK....the fastest model I think they were released in UK in 2003 and they are fast mine was dropped a few time so I cut it in half lowered the seat so you are sitting low behind the tank, took out the air box to make room for the seat and went all out rat and with all the weight removed the thing is a rocket
I had the first model one without the cutoff , with the 4 to 1 yoshimura pipes with sweet deep base sound , I did 280kmh once after a top overhaul & sold it
I had a,1994 model in black with chrome wheels, never ever had so much fun on 2 wheels. No matter how fast you were going tge ZZR had more to give, ludicrous top end power in 3rd gear. 100mph to silliness rapidly. Currently looking to buy a Z1000 buy something tells me it won't be the same😅
Nope, I did have a mate who had an auto one brand new. Dam thing kept cutting out mid corner. Had no clutch to pull in and just kept leaning over. It scared the he'll out of him. Yamaha Oz couldn't fix it, so he sold it as soon as possible. 😯
Sweet video man, however I believe you've got it wrong that your example is a postie bike. You see as far as i'm aware the ct110s sold to aus post never come with the hi-low gearbox. The hi-low gearbox only came on what's known as ct110ag which did not have a compliance plate, so it was not registerable (I believe it's now possible to get it checked by an engineer and they will provide a compliance plate but not 100%). The version of the ct110 sold in Japan called the hunter cub also came with the hi-low gearbox as standard. So either your bike has had the engine from an ct110ag or an imported hunter cub put onto the postie frame, or someone has managed to get a compliance plate for an ct110ag or huntercub and register it. Also the dual side stands you mentioned only came on the posties, so someone might have added one of them on aswell or as I said it might be a postie bike frame. Cheers for the video, was a fun watch.
Was wayne gardner called the Wollongong wizz,i seem to recall the story he would race through the old princess highway from Wollongong to sutho,taking on mini cooper s's and the sort,maybe i was given a bum steer,but wayne was a great 2 wheel drifter,hang it out and bring it in,better than mick doohan,with the hard warehe had,wayne paved the way for mick and casey
Yes, you are correct. The Wollongong Wizz! He basically learn't to ride all around his home town on his dirt bike when he was a kid. Probably learn't his craft out running the local Police.🤣 Thanks for the watch. He was one of my hero's and I was there for his 1989 Phillip Island GP win.
