Summary:

God made the exup1000r

Faults:

I'm a newbie to all this new computer gear, but my bike is very rapid with a 16 tooth front sprocket, which gave it the giddy up neddy it needed to keep with modern stuff.

It`s well put together for an old un; a bit like me; I'm 59 & still keep up with the young uns.

Recomended to anyone looking for a fast cheap superbike. Snake Byte UK brakes need a sort out though; R1 blue spot`s do the job with HH pad`s.

This motorcycle becomes to become fast with some modifications on its gears and engine.

However, I wouldn't suggest changing the dog bones on it.

Nothing whatsoever.

General Comments:

I have a 1992 Yamaha FZR 1000 Exup RU.

Since I bought this bike, I have made many modifications, which include 2002 R1 calipers, and 16/48 gearing.

This bike is awesome!

My brother has a Thunderace, and I can reel him in under power each and every time. I also raced a 2002 CBR954RR FireBlade, and he couldn't pull away from me either.

I agree with you, when well looked after they can keep up with most new kit. Maybe I think the upgrade on brakes is a good idea.

Easier to ride fast than a GSXR, they corner like they`re on rails without having to climb all over the bike. I loved mine, but it was boring unless you had someone to race all the time. Unless you were doing at least 120+ round the corners, there was no skill or effort needed : (. I then bought a DR Big 800, if you went round a corner at 80 mph, whilst trying to hold it steady, you felt that you had achieved something LOL.

I own one as well, I'm the 2nd owner of the bike, I've had it now going on 4 years and I haven't had an ounce of trouble with it. The only modifications I've done with it is spot lights and louder horns. I keep up with all the latest bikes even better than them (though skill & experience also helps) I can't fault it, though the brakes could be upgraded.

Summary:

Bloody marvelous

Faults:

The only problem I had with this bike was the alternator, which packed up at forty thousand miles, but I was able to get this rewound for £70. Yamaha wanted £480 for replacement one.

General Comments:

A lovely bike. Would love to get another one. Even though I'm six foot five, I still found it comfortable, even on long distances. A perfect first big bike.

A cheap to insure, cheap to run, and still does 160 plus, eighty's super sport.

I managed to keep up with my mate's Ninja 900 with no trouble.

Good god man, you do 160 mph on this aging bike?

22nd Nov 2010, 12:54

After checking everything over, there should be no problem running these speeds in a safe environment. This bike was designed to handle these speeds. I've had mine over 100 mph a few times, and it was very stable.
