We knew this was coming – but it still hits hard. The first Yamaha R1 appeared just six years after our sister magazine Fast Bikes itself hit the streets – so in many ways, they grew up together.

30th October 2024

Kawasaki’s got a lot of previous with the 1100cc capacity: its GPz1100 in 1983 was arguably one of the first proper modern superbikes, with half-fairing, fuel injection and monoshock suspension. The ZZ-R1100 in 1990 was the fastest bike in the world for seven years, and it’s had various other ZRX, GPZ and Zephyr 1100s since.…
