  I&apos;m 67 tears old until I swing my leg over my 1996 CBR 1100xx Super Blackbird. And then, just like magic, I&apos;m 25 again.

  I also owned a 1200s Suzuki Bandit for 11 years and it NEVER let me down. Absolutely bombproof!

  I’m still riding a ‘94 Honda 750 Magna. No leaks, &nbsp;no smoke, just pure riding fun.

  So many great bikes that didn&apos;t get a look-in, it shows what a great decade the nineties was. An honourable mention for my old Fazer 600 - a real go anywhere, do anything bike, including getting it off the clock at the bottom of the M5. Yamaha engines do like revs!

  Great video, thanks. I’ll add another honuorable mention … From 90-99 (01) Honda gave us 3 generations of VFR that are often referred to as bomb-proof. They are great value for money, can often be found well maintained and in very good shape at bargain prices with years of life left in them.

  Excellent video! &nbsp;And I&apos;m an ex-dealer who&apos;s been motorcycling now for almost 70 years. &nbsp;I really don&apos;t understand why anybody who is reasonably clever and mechanically-adept would want to buy a new motorcycle. &nbsp;There are SO many well-engineered bikes, especially from the &apos;90s, and you can ride them practically forever with sympathetic maintenance. &nbsp;And they&apos;re CHEAP!! &nbsp;The bikes you list can mostly be bought for less than the first year&apos;s depreciation on a new 5-figure motorcycle. &nbsp;So, if you think about it, the bike is essentially free...and, if you take care of it, it might even appreciate. &nbsp;Try that with a new one.

  Any Honda 500 is a cream machine to ride. Excellent machines for touring or commuting. Never blow up, never go down. Glorious machines.

  Back in the 90s I had some great bikes, FJ1200, Daytona 900, Speed Triple, XJR1200, T595, Fireblade, Trophy 1200. My wife however stuck with her CB500, she loved it! We were spoilt for choice back then!
