Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s

The 1990s was the last golden era of motorcycling in Britain particularly for todays nostalgia-driven, 50-something bikers. Ground-breaking sports bikes included the likes of Hondas original FireBlade, Yamahas R1 and Ducatis iconic 916, with Britains Carl Foggy Fogarty taking the latter to glory in the new World Superbike championship. A new breed of hyperbike, first led by Kawasakis 178mph ZZR1100 then Hondas CBR1100XX Super Blackbird and Suzukis Hayabusa, took performance higher than ever before. It was also the decade that saw the return of historic British brand Triumph, Ducatis novel Monster 900, Hondas oval-pistoned NR750 and Yamahas wacky hub-centre GTS1000. All of these and many more are remembered and celebrated in Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s.
