I have an ‘03 954, a ‘13 FZ1 (non -N 😢) and my ‘21 commuter CBR5R (sits behind the sleeper of my Peterbilt). The 954 takes car of my “I’m feelin’ like a cat or dog that needs their spastic zoomie itch scratched…”. The FZ is for “I want to ride all day and need to walk tomorrow… “ (I’m old and beat up..). And the CBR5R just allows me to be shut down somewhere and be able to go out and have fun on the road. The 954 and FZ will never be sold as long as I’m breathing!!!
Great bike. I brought one about four months ago with the same set up and exhaust. Low klms and they are just awesome to ride. I have a the pure white one and it grabs so much attention every time i ride it. Great video.
👍 From Australia Victoria I've watched this every day this fortnight. I think I talked myself out of buying. This was the fish that got away from me (cut the line more like it). Do you know this is cheaper than cbr600rr in Australia WTF literally
Wouldn’t expect the CBR to cost more , that’s crazy! This Zx is a frickin missel . We’ve been on the highway with this thing doing some speed pulls since the video …. IT MOVES !
Well done brother. Awesome bike. Sounds awesome looks awesome and goes awesome. Your inspirational and riding what some of us fear (im not embarrassed to admit that and I have zx6r)
So close to pulling the trigger but I bailed out. I have all 40th till zx10r. I would only be buying it to look good in a garage that nobody else sees. Im happy living my dreams and if I bought this id be dreaming but dead lol
i'll deal with a few minor scrathces on mine. But my rear turn signal broke off. How hard is it to change out the entire turn signal stalk and all? bolts must be hidden behind rear plate .
It needs a clutch stack, it’s slipping pretty bad, check the hub dampener too it’s probably beat up from the clutch hammering. . Nice vintage Yamaha, it’s hard to beat those or a Honda.
I'm curious about the ergos on this bike. I've heard the riding position is cramped for taller riders. Pain in the ass on longer rides. I'm 6' and my height is keeping me from buying this bike. But maybe I'm being paranoid. Any feedback on this would be appreciated. Great looking bike. Thanks for the vid!
Ok, I’m 5’11 and I found it teetering on the comfort zone on long rides . At 6’ plus , I too would be a little reluctant. If it’s a deal breaker, I’d be safe and pass on it . Maybe changing seats could fix that issue? which is something that didn’t bug me enough to warrant .if you do decide to get one , I can’t think of anything really negative to say about it
@@twowheeledwarrior Thanks for the feedback. There are some seats that could potentially remedy the problem for a more stretched out riding position. I've been watching many reviews about the bike and although I love the classic look, and the torquey motor, there is one possible deal breaker. Seems that the floorboards scrape on even the slightest of curves. It's a real bummer because sometimes I like to push a bike hard in the turns. What's your experience been in regards to lean angle?
@@twowheeledwarrior my father had this bike when I was a kid. He’d throw me on the back seat with a rope tying me to him when I was 6 or 7 and tear down the back country roads. Please let me know if your friend decides to sell!
I agree with all that you had to say. I've had my 2014 for many years. And in the time. I still get a buzz both looking at and riding it. I have owned about forty bikes in my life. Which includes dirt bikes. And I haven't wanted to hold onto a bike like I have this one.
You must’ve hired somebody from China or Japan maybe somebody from Suzuki or Kawasaki so I’m gonna spend $30,000 on a motorcycle that looks like a Japanese bike what happened with the single sided swing arm the signature piece from Ducati that set the bike apart from everybody elseare you kidding me? I’m gonna pay that kind of money for bike because it’s red. No I’m gonna pay the extra insurance and it looks like a Japanese bike. Hell no oh well I guess there will not be a purchase in 2025
I bought an AMG with 7500 miles, dyno’d, flashed, goosed, and whatever the hell this past owner could think of to make this bike untamable. I’m a rider, not a mechanic, techy, nothing. The dealership I took it to so it could be checking nut and bolt, just shook their heads. They said there’s no way for them to know what all has been done to it. I will say it took me a couple of thousand miles before I figured out how to ride it like a regular motorcycle. Tossed the Pirellis, put a couple of Power 6 on and that machine is amazing. The hardest thing now is going home. Buy one if you can find an adult owned and driven one.
I scored 3 of these for $500 CAD, 2 in pieces and one fully together. I love it - doesn't mind revving up to 11k through first, second and third! In fact, it has been running much better this year after I beat her up real good. Previous owner gave it an army green paint job and the SECA gets lots of comments :) I wouldn't hesitate for a second to take it on a long trip with my girl on the back. The only real downside is having 4 carburetors which are vacuum synced together.... Mine could use a tune but it runs so well now I've been putting that off as I'd have to take it to a shop...
