Motorcycles we loved in the 1990s

The 1990s marked a significant period in British motorcycle history, cherished by nostalgic riders now in their 50s. Notable sports bikes of the era included Honda's FireBlade, Yamaha's R1, and Ducati's 916, which propelled Carl 'Foggy' Fogarty to victory in the World Superbike championship.
Hyperbikes like Kawasaki's ZZR1100, Honda's CBR1100XX Super Blackbird, and Suzuki's Hayabusa set new performance benchmarks, reaching speeds of up to 178mph.

This decade also witnessed the revival of Triumph, the introduction of Ducati's Monster 900, Honda's NR750 with its unique oval pistons, and Yamaha's innovative GTS1000 with hub-center steering. "Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s" pays homage to these iconic bikes and more.

Motos Youngtimers - Génération 1985-2000

In 1985, the Suzuki GSX-750R appeared, rightly considered the first road-legal super sports bike. It kicked off a new generation of super sports bikes such as the Kawasaki Ninja, the Honda VFR and CBR and the Yamaha YZR.
BMW passed the 100 hp mark for the first time with the K 1100LT road bike, while the first big trail bikes appeared: the Honda Africa Twin, the Yamaha Super Ténéré and the Cagiva Elephant.

Custom bikes were really popular with the Yamaha Virago, the Honda VF 750C Magna and the Suzuki LS 650 Savage. Not to mention the classic Yamaha Diversion, Suzuki Bandit and Yamaha SRX. These stars of the 1980s and 1990s, the youngtimers, are now legendary.
It's time to rediscover them by reading this book that pays tribute to them.

Youngtimer - Motorräder 1970-1980 (Typenkompass)

The motorcycle industry experienced its heyday in the 1970s. From a two-wheeled car replacement in the post-war years, the motorcycle developed into a leisure and sports device for the baby boomer generation.
The motorcycle industry itself did its part to fuel demand. New, attractive and, above all, increasingly powerful models appeared practically every hour, which had nothing to do with the "brides of the wind" and "elephants" of the old days.

Pagine del libro "Youngtimer - Motorräder 1970-1980"

Motorcycling became synonymous with freedom and adventure, and everyone who could ride a two-wheeler felt a little like Peter Fonda. In short: the motorcycles of that time have long since become cult today, and Achim Gaier has produced the corresponding book with this Typenkompass.

Here, the legends of yesterday are once again driving around, the well-known and the unknown two-wheeled classics of those golden motorcycle years - from Honda to Yamaha, from BMW to Zündapp.
