Ah, shit, probably should have checked.....

Just watching it and I startred to wonder how many spare parts would have to be kept in warehouses somewhere to support all of those models alone?

to start with...cool vid,

re: paturoa

alot of the older bikes now parts are just not avaiable new, when i worked at botany honda you would send a parts enquiry to honda new zealand, and they would check if japan had it and things around sort of 1988 above usually you had everything but 86....usually zip zero nada.

uve got to remember a 1987 bike is 20 years old, and with the amount bikes get crashed eventually, they just run out of spare bits.

for example a brand new frame for a cbr250rr mc21 , is somewhere around the 6,000 mark (yes we looked it up once for a customer)

in the end he had to track down another cbr and used it for spares. we thought it was silly money too but thats what itll cost ya.

Lol You poor dears are obviously far too young to remember that in the beginning, back in 1985, the Lord said "let there be sound, there was sound, let there be light, there was light, let there be drums, there were drums, let there be guitar, there was guitar, let there be THE ORIGINAL GIXXER"

The 1985 GSXR is the best looking of the lot. Simply for what it is and what it represents.

You have to go back 20 years (a little hard for alot of you clowns) and remember there was nothing, NOTHING that came close. This was a proper race bike with lights.

179kg (or thereabouts) dry. Honda are still trying to get their open class sports machine below that 22 years on! This was the bencmark and starting point for the sports machines alot of us ride now. If not for this iconic master piece, we'd probably still be all riding steel cradled framed, air cooled, wheezing slugs.
