The 1990s was the last ‘golden era’ of motorcycling in Britain
– certainly for today’s nostalgia-driven 50-something bikers.
Ground-breaking sports bikes included the likes of Honda’s
original FireBlade, Yamaha’s R1 and Ducati’s iconic 916, with
Britain’s Carl ‘Foggy’ Fogarty taking the latter to glory in
the new World Superbike championship. A new breed of
‘hyperbike’, led by Kawasaki’s 178mph ZZ-R1100 then Honda’s
CBR1100XX Super Blackbird and Suzuki’s Hayabusa, took performance
higher than ever before. While it was also the decade that saw the
return of historic British brand Triumph, Ducati’s novel Monster
900, Honda’s oval-pistoned NR750 and Yamaha’s wacky hub-centre
GTS1000. All of these and many, many more are remembered and
celebrated in Phil West’s fascinating book.
