Anybody, have video or a cd of these bikes kicking A** on the track (back in the day)

If anyone has a cd 0f the 86 vfr doing it's thing, I would like a copy! Let me know what ya want! I'm doing this too show the wifey what a power house this bike was! Or where I can get one. Pm me, e-mail is rlmorgan@charter.net. Would love to have something like that. Thank You In Advance, Rexter

 

Not a Cd but there are some videos on you tube. Just search 1986 VFR. Heres a couple.

YouTube - 1986 VFR Interceptor

YouTube - RR Superbike gb Transatlantic Race ´87 Brands Hatch Heat 2

 

That 2nd vid was awesome its hard to believe these heavy ass bike can handle like that.

 

Thats why We like them

 

That 2nd video was a shocker. The guy who crashed, #53 Dan Chivington is a friend of mine from the old racing days. From Marion, Ohio. Small skinny guy that could ride the wheels off most bikes. Boy does that bring back old memories when we all raced together.

Yes the gen 1 & 2's were kick ass back in the day.

 

I remember watching Bubba Shobert ripping it up on the HRC VFR at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma CA. called Sears Point back then. I used to have some pics, but all packed away. That guy could ride, before the tragic USGP accident at Laguna Seca.

 

+100!!! Michel Mercier runs the Fast Riding School at Shannonville, Ontario. I take his class every two years.

 

Now that I have riden 1, I see what they are capable of. They feel heavy when sitting but when in motion its a totally different machine. I ran her hard with bigger CC bikes and she performed well and on 2 and a half cyclinders if I may add.

 

You should see my good friend Jeff ride his Busa during the track days we attend.

He was batteling it out with a fellow on a Gixxer 600 that had been a AMA race bike, so it is 'properly pimped' as the owner Jody likes to say LOL!

Well pulling into the pits Jody and Jeff are shaking hands and laughing and Jody says: "You buddy Jeff here pulled in the fornt of the line and I was thinking WTF is this guy doing. Then we go out and he proceeds to put on a clinic!"

Good times.

let me look if I still have the video of Fast Freddie, I'm not sure if he is on the 1000 or the 750 but I will look and see.
If I do still have it it is VHS and 2hrs long.

 

Here is one of my favorites:

That was sweet.

What bike was Freddies? 2-stroke 500?

 

that was the 500cc 2 stroke

 

The '84 NSR500...what an amazing bike!

Kicking some ass!

 

That 84 NSR500 is simply beautiful, pity one couldn't ride it without the fairing, those pipes are a work of art

 

I know, I'm watching it and thinking about how low I've pushed her going into corners at speed and I'm like... I'm nowhere close to what these guys are doing! Crazy.

 

captb after watching those I feel like I own a piece of history now. I hate I didn't keep mine painted red/white/blue now.

 

i have an original video of the 87 transatlantic challenge. thats rainey on a gen 2 vs schwantz on the first of the GSXR 750's . apparently there were some brits there
but they dont feature much, except to complain about the americans 'factory tackle vs their road bikes'.

schwantz and rainey on the other hand went at it...big time!

 

That is one of my favourites as well. I even like the cheesy soundtrack.
