Welcome to the Channel John, Thanks for the Sub and taking the time to comment. Positive comments like yours make it all worthwhile.😃

Sorry dude, I wasn't riding it! It was owned by a new rider so I didn't push him to ride it hard but if I ever get my hands on another one!! Ride safe .

@@CompleteRider no fair enough, shouldn't have assumed anything sorry bro, still a great video don't get me wrong

All good mate, We've got to look after the young riders and I can't afford to kill any on my Subscribers! 🤣👍

Hey Cheesecake, You want Redline check out me riding a mates Moto Guzzi, he was really pissed off with me for this!! Time stamped for on board kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9J5lJWVqdWVoWQ.html

@@CompleteRider it's beautiful 😭😂

They are a freaking awesome little bike. It's getting hard to get a good one now and it will only get harder and they won't get any cheaper either! I say buy now! 🤣 Ride safe and Subscribe 👍

@zolko bovelich Ireland 🇮🇪

can the CBR400rr rev high?

I just found this bike n I'm in love got a get me one

@@hanhnguyenvan3955 no it has mid range power

Go for a nc30 vfr400

Very true words.

That's a well travelled bike! 69k km. Plus Japan - Ireland - Lithuania. Well done I love them too. Ride safe.

@@CompleteRider thanks Man,i will,sorry about my english,and thanks for video:)

@@andriuspoviliunas5325 We speak the universal language of the motorcycle! If you haven't already please subscribe, so KZfaq take me seriously!!

Sadly in Australia many of these bit the dust. Being the quickest learner bike well into the 2000's didn't help that either! Probably why they made so many of them but they are so hard to find in good condition these days. They are a great fun bike though. Ride safe and Subscribe! 😂

Thanks for the positive vibes and feedback. They are a fun little bike that are hard to find in good condition these days. Ride safe and Subscribe 👍

Wish I did! 😫 Ride safe and Subscribe 👍

You could also look at the VFR400 or RVF400, all three are incredible bikes from a great time in the local Japanese market! The longer you wait the more $$ they are going up! Ride Safe and Subscribe!

These guys have a MC22 and an MC19 coming up for auction soon! iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/

Thanks Irishman91, I had a good laugh at your comment, selling a bike to buy another bike is just acceptable, selling a bike to chase a hot girlfriend is noble but selling a bike to fund an education is just too darn mature. 😂 I hope it has paid off for you? Now you are making the big bucks you can afford to splash out?? If anyone in Thailand will know where to get one it's these guys. tyga-performance.com/index.php You can do it! It's only money! Stay safe!

Well that's just greedy Goran! Aren't they just the best! The glory days of mini race replicas! Ride safe and Subscribe!😂

It's a Victorian based bike but more importantly why did you sell yours?? 🤣

@@CompleteRider yeah....may or may not have highsided on it at 100kph. Needed new fairing, replaced the handles and 1 mirror. Wanna get another one and make a custom cafe racer out of it.

@@dalebrooks9630 Oops! They are such a fantastic motor to throw in a custom light weight frame. Go for it!

They are the coolest! Is that a cold coming on? I think you need to take a couple of weeks off work to recover and get to work on the bike! F**k work it's a CBR250RR! 🤣🤣

Did you get it running

Clothes on. 🤣👍

i mean that one is over 20 years old. 19k rpm puts a lot of stress on the engine so you shouldnt always rev that high

@@lennartsix6102 No, you shouldn't. Mine's 34 years old. But she doesn't wake up till you hit 10,000.

Thanks for the positive vibes 👍 Great bikes make great content. Ride safe and Subscribe ✌️

They are cool Dan, I'll be putting a video up on my VFR400 NC30 soon. I'm just putting the finishing touches on a quick tidy up at the moment. Stay tuned and Stay safe.

If I had have been riding it, it would have! 😂 Have a look at the Moto Guzzi V85 TT. That hit the Rev Limiter! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9J5lJWVqdWVoWQ.html Ops.

According to an oscilliscope test from the spark unit output to the coils using a voltage divider circuit , it was calculated at 16,900 being read just before the ignition started to cut signal due to the ROM chip clock frequency like the boot up chips on early PC's . This was done with a friend with a degree in electronics & a motorcycle mechanic's qualification in his workshop . Be careful because Honda & Yamaha have been guilty of overstating the figures on their motorcycles as part of a "sales push" . I saw a media release about this in 1991 .

They are a pretty cool little engine that's for sure. I like your mic test on the MC22, I've been thinking of doing some thing similar, putting a mic down near the muffler to try to pick up more exhaust noise. I might give it a go when I have a bike for a bit more time! I'm cleaning up my old VFR400 NC30 for a REV VIEW so I might give it a go on that! Where did you mount it? I subscribed to your channel so I expect to see some more MC22 content! Ride safe.😉

@@CompleteRider I need to do another video with the new muffler. I chopped up a 'over' brand muffler from Japan off a hyabusa and put on it. Shorter than before and definitely sounds like a larger bike. Still screams up in the revs. Haha Mic was mounted near the number plate.

@@feral4mr2 Thanks mate, I'll give it a go on the 400!

Thanks for the good vibes Michael. I would have loved to ride it for the on board footage myself but it' s not my place to demand a ride, I'm just happy he let me film it. I have ridden plenty of them before though, as I say they are great to rev out but you are not going warp speed and get locked up. But no where as fast as my RVF400 or VFR400 but rev they do. I love the VTR250 and I've ridden both the carby and EFI versions. In fact before LAMS came in for Australian Learners the VTR was my favorite beginners bike by far. The riding position suits me well and with a pipe they sound cool as well. Thanks again for watching, stay safe and subscribe!

Not only do you want it, you NEED it! 🤣 Ride safe and Subscribe 👍

@@CompleteRider done done and done😀😀

I’m also 6’4, was it comfortable enough to ride?

@@mwvolkma comfortable enough for commuting. Wouldnt want to travel much more than an hour though

Yep, good ca Mike. I wasn't riding it as it's not my bike. The owner is a 18 year old new rider who was still finding his feet and the last thing I wanted to do was push him outside of his comfort zone. The hardest part of these videos is getting access to good bikes and this was to good not to shoot. Thanks for watching and ride safe!

Are you insane?

Yup.. are you? If not you should try it sometime.... I have this bike with a built cr 500 engine. Aside from my rz500 it's my favorite canyon ripper.

@@brianwills4398 I wouldn't give that noise or the engine characteristics up for any amount of hp

@@ImNotHere4750 I wouldn't know anything about that, it came with a single cylinder 2 stroke. I bought it at a garage sale years ago.. I'm not much of a purist, I just love riding it.. To me there's nothing more fun than 2 strokes.

@@brianwills4398 fair enough, to each their own.

100% Agree! Thanks for the Sub!

Wish I had all my old ones!

And it's ridden regularly too! Thanks for the watch ✌️Ride safe and Subscribe 👍

Sorry I can't help you I've never purchased engine parts off Ali express, someone may be able to help or maybe ask a MC19 Facebook group. ✌

Happy Birthday!!🥳🥳 What a great bike to celebrate with. It's great to see young riders getting into older bikes like the dude who owns this one. Ride safe and Subscribe! 🤣

@@CompleteRider Thank you 😊 Had my first ride on the road today and it is so much fun! Sound is awesome

Bringing back memories of my early riding days, every minute spare I was on my bike! It took over my life and now my life revolves around bikes! Great way to live. Stay safe though!👍

🤣 I love the way you think! You build it and I'll REVIEW it!

I've reached out to the owner to confirm the size. It would be standard size I would think. Ride safe and Subscribe!

Yes, this one is running a 140/60 R 17.

I love it!

Yep, I think the CBR400 revs to about 14 grand but the RVF400 that I use for the REV VIEW runs to about 15,500 RPM. I'd love the 400's to rev to 20 Grand! That would be crazy! Ride safe and Subscribe!

Owner had had his Learners for only a few weeks, I bet he's riding it harder now! 🤣

Everyone should have either a VFR400/RVF400 or one of these at least once in their life! They are that much fun!

Sorry I don't know the brand but there is heaps of aftermarket pipes available for the new models. Ride safe and subscribe.

Lucky Spirit I bet they were grey imported into Canada. They were imported into just about every country once they were too old in Japan and cost too much to keep on the road. (Japanese SHOCK rules). Must be a Facebook site for grey bikes in Canada. Good luck they are worth the effort! 👌

Yep, I agree unfortunately I wasn't riding it. The owner was a young kid who had just got his learners permit. So I didn't push him to go hard. One day I will get my hands on another one and when I do!!!!! Ride safe and subscribe!

As discussed before in the comments, the bike is owned by a young ride who just got his L's, so I didn't push him to flog it. But if you lend me yours, I'll redline it for sure! 😁

Yes, you are right. I had fogotten about them. Quite a few made there way to Australia in the early 2000's as grey imports and they were a great little bike. Less race posture than the CRB250RR but the same fun. We also got the Yamaha Zeal a in-line 4 cylinder bike which my wife had when I met her! Small capacity bikes are so boring now! Thanks for the reminder, Ride safe and Subscribe!

@@CompleteRider I’m from Italy and there are only 3 in the whole country. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw one for sale from a collector in my area, just had to buy it. It has a presence on the road that modern small bikes can only dream of!

@@ventisette. Bellissimo! Amazing where these little Japanese rocket ships found homes around the world!

Yes, I think it is a great bike but maybe not as reliable as a modern bike! It has 4 carburettors and if you don't know what you are doing or don't have a good old-school mechanic they can give you more problems than EFI. But they are great fun!

I got a 1990 with 23000 on the clock ive put 5000ks on it only replaced coils spark plugs and fuel petcock reliability has suprised me

Very cool Cam, your bike was obviously loved by the previous owner, not all are, alot sit in sheds for years and get dragged out to be sold. That's my only concern from the reliability side. Ride them don't look at them, which you obviously do! 😃 Stay safe.

p.s. Cam Motox thanks for the Sub!

And loves it! 👍 Ride safe and Subscribe!

Yep, I hear your pain but the kid riding it was a baby beginner so I didn't push him to rev the you know what out of it but I will get another one and rev the F#%K out of it !

I'll still take the MC22 though! Ride safe and Subscribe 👍

I definitely hit that 22k rpm on occasion Myself 👍
