This is what ive done for a while now. 1998 - 2010 is the time when superbikes where the best. Yes they are technically better and smarter now with electronics etc but those "older" bikes were just pure fun. I call my collection my bedroom wall collection. I need a 998, a 999 and a few others to have the full poster collection 😍😍😍😍

@Potatoman7 16 дней назад

The K8 is in amazing condition and let’s be honest all of us want to keep every bike we buy but room and finance prevents.. Love the idea of getting decent 2nd hand bikes for the channel

@michaelrussom9347 15 дней назад

You make me nervous when you say we will strip it all down, look what happened with the Ducati, some self control may be needed.😂 Love this type of thing, watching you tinker on the bikes, looking forward to this series.

@darylclifford 16 дней назад

Pretty DECENT?? It LOOKS AMAZING!! How can you be SO PICKY? OHH MY GOD..!!

@ragerider6283 16 дней назад

Because he's spending his own money. I'd do the same. You start with perfection & work backwards which is how you figure out what it's worth to you. Being very particular & picking up on all the imperfections, no matter how small, also gives you maximum bargaining power when making the deal.

@EvolutionaryProduct 16 дней назад

I bought one of these new in 1998 and put 97,000 miles on it! Mixture of trackdays and then years of commuting it into central London. By then it was a bit of a shed. The exup valve seized and so was lock-wired open (ruined mid-range), all the fairings were cable tied on as it was crashed several times. It ended when it got stolen in London. With the insurance payout I bought another one the same, only mint. That got stolen 3 weeks later. I loved those bikes.

@Kurlach 16 дней назад

Bloody hell, that chain and sprocket 😮🤯

@reverendhoover 16 дней назад

At least there won't be any gunk to clean around the front sprocket cover, as the chain looks like it's never been lubricated in its life!

@H8FUL4IM 16 дней назад

Give over, there is still a good decade left on that! 🤣

@garethpetley6715 16 дней назад

Sensible decision Chopsy, looking forward to the new projects. 👍🏻

@iainian 16 дней назад

Remember drooling over the R1 at the NEC. Looking forward to episodes, still a lovely, lovely bike and with more than enough power for us mere mortals. Remember no ABS or traction control!! Good buy LCR

@philipmusgrove9019 16 дней назад

Brilliant idea! Looking forward to to the series. Older bikes rock!

@mrkang4080 15 дней назад

I'm in my 32nd year of riding now, and have sold all my "new" bikes in order to hunt down the bikes I so desperately wanted when I first started. 1998 R1, 2000 RC51, 1999 Hayabusa in gold/silver, K1 GSXR1000, TL1000R, RC8, etc... Love modern bikes, but there's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by the bikes I've always loved.

@TheSpectre223 16 дней назад

Cracking idea for a series. I am one of those people you mentioned, low (relatively) income, finance-adverse, so I love seeing bikes which are obtainable outright for people like me. Buying with the intent to sell also means you can maybe explore more genres and types of bikes than you would otherwise buy to keep, which will be great for viewer and yourself alike. Can't wait to see it!

@witchdoctor6502 15 дней назад

I think it is a great idea to buy used bike, upgrade it, make few videos and then sell it. Few suggestions to consider: 1. once you have a bike, make options for people to vote what upgrades to do. This might help to bump up views and comments and maybe even the tickets sales if you put it in a raffle. 2. when upgrading make the videos more like how to manuals, so people can see what is needed to install similar upgrades on their bikes

@kuba181181 16 дней назад

Great idea! Cannot wait

@KelvinChilvers 16 дней назад

That's a great idea and a good addition to the channel. I am sure it will get good coverage and support from you followers. Its a nice bike the R1. I had a GSXR1000 K1 and that was a good bike. Looking forward to following the new series.

@everydaybiker 16 дней назад

I'm excited for the new rout for the channel. Excited to see the R1 finished

@shadowred1980 16 дней назад

That's a great idea for a series. Alarms best place is in the bin. Maybe one to put on your list rsv mille. :)

@andrewhoward7523 16 дней назад

Great idea can't wait for this new series mate 👍

@skandix 16 дней назад

Good plan, will be watching.

@michaeljolley4959 16 дней назад

Great idea chopsy. Looking forward to future videos. Keep up the great content. 👍

@Jim-nm1en 16 дней назад

Great idea Chopsy, looking forward to seeing how this goes.

@tracktime1196 16 дней назад

Spot on Chopsy I think the new concept sounds brilliant the older machines are still great to ride and can really crack on. It'll be great to reminisce some of the old flagship models and maybe some of the underrated gems.... can't wait

@mr.homelite8490 7 дней назад

What a sad day,I have a k7 & enjoyed watching you do upgrades on the bike & you having fun at track days. Sad to see the old girl go:(

@AuldhannRua 16 дней назад

I remember seeing one of the first ones here in Ireland, fabulous bike. It moved the game on like the original Fireblade had in 92. Looking forward to this series.

@briankalagher6687 16 дней назад

Wow! an all stock 4XV for 3500 is such a crazy deal. I've owned a 99 just like this one for 20 years. I've put 55K miles on mine and its been amazing. The 1-2 shift has always been notchy and I heard so many horror stories about the transmission that I was always worried mine would blow up. Never did though. I'm still on the original clutch. I find good oil (my bike hates anything thinner than 15w 40) and keeping the chain extremely well lubed makes all the difference with the shifter. Awesome bike! looking forward to future content.

@arcticcraic 16 дней назад

Great plan for channel content!

@mark675 16 дней назад

R1 looks awesome! cant wait to see the videos on that 😁

@omgitsZAN4 16 дней назад

My first 1000cc sports bike chops! 4xv R1 👍 I was 26 (48 now) gearbox can be a bit clunky - although I don’t recall issues from 1st to second. Get a steering damper though, both the 4xv & 5jj like a tank slapper, especially after a wheelie 😊 these dominated the sportsbike era at that time, right up until the k1 1000 came out

@DMRMOTORSPORT 15 дней назад

Will second that.....I had the worst tank slapper ever on my 98 R1. I quickly bought a GPR steering damper for it.

@n22pdf 16 дней назад

Awesome Chops great idea for a series.. I remember when the R1 came out wow what a classic dude this is going to be epic 😊 Pete 👍

@Broken-six 15 дней назад

Love it! Look forward to watching.

@robhush8836 16 дней назад

Looks amazing, apart from the blue screen! Love it

@philnixon7168 16 дней назад

Still to this day my favourite bike had my first in 2004 you'll not be disappointed

@aidenscott71 16 дней назад

Beauty! Change is as good as a rest Chopsy!

@Fishing8136 15 дней назад

Good good I look forward to this. I was sorry to see when TMF stopped his reviews on older bikes. 😎🇨🇦

@johnlaw5762 16 дней назад

Absolutely loved that R1 when it came out. Still do.

@WillH2168 16 дней назад

Good idea, looking forward to it! 👌

@michaelkettrick4715 15 дней назад

Great idea mate, love older bikes. Ive got a 97 reg bandit and its good seeing other older bikes out there. Looking forward to it 🫡

@rgthomson1 16 дней назад

I had one of these same colours with fuel injection and what a machine in the day, my wrists hated it and had to sell after 3 months, the most i remember of it was it didnt really need a front wheel and tyre

@morganmartin9286 16 дней назад

Sounds like a good plan and should make for a lot of fun content 👍👍

@ryanmonkmorley 10 дней назад

Absolutely love the old R1, looking forward to seeing the outcome 👍🏼

@BrianMcCann421 16 дней назад

Wow, great new format John. I had exactly the same model R1, you forget just how good carburettors are, so smooth, linear and responsive. Great Video

@LambChopRides 16 дней назад

Yes absolutely instant response quite amazing!

@Nick-y3k 16 дней назад

Great idea, There’s some great older bikes out there 🏍️👍

@brianbiker 15 дней назад

I like your strategy, more than just reviews (which I think you do very well!) and your workshop stuff you do well. Sort of a motorcycle version of wheeler dealers, and we know how successful that became!

@Mandem909 16 дней назад

Great idea John!! Love the concept

@LambChopRides 16 дней назад

Great stuff 👍

@superbike_steve 16 дней назад

Love this format of video! A refreshing change. Also really looking forward to this series, a great concept idea which is different. Can’t wait!!

@LambChopRides 16 дней назад

Yay, thank you!

@MarmiteTheDog 16 дней назад

Looking forward to your new series - I love the carb-to-Fi era of bikes (I have a '98 VFR800). Just don't take 2 or 3 years tarting each one up! 😅

@MrSimonfoz 16 дней назад

Will be good to see some affordable machines in the channel thanks .

@markpendleton9595 16 дней назад

brilliant idea look forward to it :)

@apexslider1 16 дней назад

Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see some more affordable bike content on your channel. Maybe even a future BBB collab with the 44’ers.

@iainwhite3476 14 дней назад

I love this idea a practical superbike workshop video series😊

@Mark........ 16 дней назад

That's a great idea for the channel Chops

@223Sako 16 дней назад

This is an excellent plan. I can see a lot of bikes being bought and sold in your future.

@andyb2311 16 дней назад

Love the OG R1 what a great bike and a great idea for the channel. Hope all goes well with it ❤

@paultownsend6085 16 дней назад

Looking forward to this chopsy great idea for the new series

@simonbowen6653 16 дней назад

Looking forward to this.

@fredboyd2161 16 дней назад

Looking forward to the series. Great idea. Modern top of the range bikes to expensive.

@matthartshorn9483 16 дней назад

Absolutely fantastic chamnel idea mate

@stevennash4168 16 дней назад

Raffles are a great idea. Gives a chance to people who can’t afford a nice bike to own one.

@baumie4618 16 дней назад

Grrat idea Chops! 🇦🇺

@09mantlek 16 дней назад

Some nice diversity to the channel :)

@andrewprice1189 16 дней назад

You will love the R1. I have a all original 98 which I imported from Japan. They still feel like a modern bike & relatively comfy. Gearboxes are a bit clunky, just the way they are. Only niggle I have with mine is the exup servo motor sometimes sticks which shows as the tachometer reading 7000rpm then back to zero periodic. Easy to access with the hinged tank. Looking forward to the videos on it. Greetings from Melbourne AU

@headrace4863 16 дней назад

…didn’t see that coming, Chops. Great bike to let go but I get the logic. The R1 should be a lot of fun, they’re basically sound so shouldn’t fight you too much. Usually exup seized, and rear linkage wears. At that mileage check front bushes & guides as well. Enjoy! 👍👍

@matthewjackson3034 16 дней назад

Really love your idea of the used bike builds bud. It gives those of us hope of getting some really nice machines, (not on pcp) lol. And the R1, nice. 🎉

@PDCRed 16 дней назад

Would have been happy to bid on that! Hope the new owner enjoys it.

@dylanhedges5634 16 дней назад

LOVE IT!!!!

@paulrodgers9162 15 дней назад

This is a great direction for the channel, as rider of three modern classics in my garage always interested in restoration tips and info to suppliers of parts, looking for to the content on the R1 👍

@ianrussell2816 16 дней назад

Good idea 👍

@cristhiko7476 16 дней назад

Amazing bike!

@Ripper_CQ 16 дней назад

I had one in those exact colours, very nice 👌

@kahidunn7907 16 дней назад

Selling bikes to make room for more bikes, you are a sic sic man Chops, and I love it !!! Love the idea you've come up with, can't wait for the refurbishment but please don't forget about the ZX7 I've been hanging out for that beast. Cheers mate

@LambChopRides 16 дней назад

I won't don't worry 👍

@CrissyBee87 16 дней назад

Lovely bike Chops! If I remember correctly these original R1's have a common problem with 2nd gear.

@harrywarne8185 16 дней назад

Great work Chops, change is good! Love me a Yamaha!

@user-pm1od9jz1j 11 дней назад

Amazing idea 😁

@philipcasselll3370 16 дней назад

Sad you had to let it go but I see why. Content an channel wise it makes sence. On words an upwards chops 💪

@MrAndrew1953 16 дней назад

Sounds like a great plan. Could be a niche market for bikes of a bygone era. Fond memories of my Kawasaki 1100 B2 with fuel injection. The fuel gauge blocks disappeared rapidly.

@renegade1987 16 дней назад

I was surprised at the condition of the chain and sprocket when the rest of the bike was so mint! Nice choice though, they are lovely bikes.

@jake88ci 15 дней назад

HUGE upgrade would be ISR brake calipers . ISR still has option of the old type brake mounting yet still modern billet mono block with phenominal feel/power on par with brembo stylema calipers

@teamgas 16 дней назад

Brilliant idea! We can vicariously choose and buy a new bike through you!! Save the room in the garage and the wrath of the household management director! 👍👍

@dukie1616 16 дней назад

Great idea Chops! Raffle or sell…whatever makes more sense financially to keep this new series going. Yep I’m on board for sure, love this idea👏

@inspectorclouseau3880 16 дней назад

sounds good, a "legends" series

@thepongopete 16 дней назад

Love the concept! Give the guys at Apex66 a shout

@christopherhorton5449 15 дней назад

That R1 looks great for its age and mileage

@danielhasahondaandtriumph 16 дней назад

Great idea be good to see the mechanics of what you do on these older sports bikes I would say once you are done with each bike auction it off on eBay to one of your subscribers

@johngarrity6942 16 дней назад

Very interesting- excellent content! 👍🏍🏍👍

@R-Tap 16 дней назад

I love your garage. Spotless and a place for everything. You'd know you are an IT professional! 🤣👍

@LambChopRides 16 дней назад

Haha well it's not allways like that 😅

@martynhurst3609 16 дней назад

But a great idea tbf !

@460Dave 15 дней назад

I’ve still got my 4XV R1 had it for 16 years I don’t ride it as much now as I have another bike but I just can’t bring myself to get rid of it. Clutch cable needs a bit of patience to replace & it had new gearbox internals after munching 2nd gear (probably rider error as it does love a wheelie!?😮) engine wise they’re superb the carbs will probably need a clean up, that bike looks mint tbh, you can’t go wrong with it. 😎👌

@lynsmith1096 16 дней назад

That is sad news Lamb Chop but I look forward to your series no the older bikes.

@michaelmclarney1994 16 дней назад

Nice idea for the channel Chopsie, i would love a Gixxer but can't ride spirts bikes anymore and am struggling to part with my foxeye blade as its just so beautiful!

@markg_r1751 16 дней назад

Get that datatool off before it craps itself! Mine did! Gearboxes are a bit agricultural but you do learn to live with it, I think you're gonna be hard pushed to give it away when its completed, looking forward to this :)

@sk2283 14 дней назад

Shame to sell the GSXR ! But nice to see an R1 coming in 👍😀 I had a few of these back then, raced them in street stocks club racing, the 5JJ model was better but the 4XV was the original modern sportsbike ! Good skills

@ianplayer3329 16 дней назад

Love the r1 👌😍

@MatNewtonTrio 16 дней назад

Ooh that r1 is an absolute beauty. Looks pretty tidy. I’d love a 99. I’d loose that blue screen 😂 ❤

@raymorris952 16 дней назад

Cool, looks good, please say you're be junking the blue screen !

@LambChopRides 16 дней назад

Haha the chap has the orginal 😄👍

@johnsteel4719 16 дней назад

Good idea. Lots of guys and girls riding around on these so there should be a lot of interest..

@johnsteel4719 16 дней назад

But you may regret selling the Gixxer. I went from a k5 to a k7 and then an L7 before being seduced by the S1000RR K67 and all its lovely gadgetry. I still miss the L7 as it was such an easy bike to ride fast without doing stupid speeds…

@TheScortUK 16 дней назад

Reluctant thumbs up, as it was sad to see the Gixxer go - but great choice of bike; love love love that gen of R1 Is that a carbon nosed Hyper I spy - have I missed an episode 😳

@FilipeDiogo49 14 дней назад

It's OK Chopsey, although my heart is hurting to see the K8 go, it's a rational decision and the K8 will be used more which is what it's meant to do. I have a K9 myself and I consider it "unsaleable" as its a fantastic do-it-all superbike. The R1 is a great project and I can't wait to see it on the channel. Having said all of that, bring on the ZXR mate I Been waiting for ages 😅

@yorisalter3733 16 дней назад

Brilliant idea for doing up and flipping the older bikes be intresting content to watch and help others to do similar. Youd have no shortage of buyers. Raffle idea could work well also. Id have offerd to buy the gixer also

@kylejf9059 5 дней назад

Just catching up with the channel. Was worried what you were going to replace the K8 with but totally love the choice of the '99 R1 - exactly the bike I've been interested in as well. This is a great idea for a video series. There's so many cool, unwanted older bikes now it's ridiculous. After the R1? What about an RSV R 1000 Factory? Great idea, really looking forward to seeing the videos on this 👍🏻

@LambChopRides 4 дня назад

Yeah absolutely Kyle love the RSV 🤩

@simondemetriou7750 16 дней назад

Sounds like a great idea, and there's some tasty bikes out there in that price range! I also.prefer the original R1 in blue........looks more classy 😍
