Originally Kamen Rider was from the 70s, but from 85-2000 it took a hiatus somewhat. Now, it's been continually being made and broacast for the last TEN YEARS. It has more episodes than Doctor Who does.
Totally worth checking out, either way.
Fun fact: Saban (Responsible for adapting Sentai into Power Rangers) Adapted Kamen Rider Black RX into "Masked Rider". They were subsequently banned from ever touching Rider again after someone at Toei happened to see the end product.

The older series are generally more ridiculous, here's some clips.
Here's the opening to Kamen Rider V3 (my current avatar ):
He's so awesome that the ground his bike drives over explodes!
And here's some blatantly awesome political incorrectness:

And unlike power rangers, you can take it seriously

The more recent series aren't nearly as ridiculous, but they're still a really good watch.
If you guys are interested, I'd recommend starting on Kamen Rider W (aka Double) which is the series which is currently on air. Both RaiDK and myself started on this and it's a great introductory series. We get the TV-Nihon subs as they are typeset really well.
The story takes a while to get off it's feet (10 eps or so), but when it does it really hooks you in. Once Accel is introduced it all gets better and better.
The series Zeke mentioned, which is Ryuki, probably has an even better written storyline than W. I'd definitely recommend that as well, but it's probably easier to get into it after W as things are a bit different, and W covers pretty much all bases.

Agito is also really good, it's nowhere nearly as silly as other series and rather than introducing new toys it focuses on the characters and story.
And after you're familiar with the series, you can them move onto...
AAAAAAAAALL R-R-R-RIDERS!

If you're still unconvinced, have some Skull.

Anyways, thanks for the warning Alias I'll be surely keeping an eye on the final episodes, I blame school.

Another clip, because I can. If you thought Kamen Rider was for kids, watch some Amazon. Probably the most blatantly violent series out of the lot.

RaiDK and I are currently watching a series called Kamen Rider Blade, where the main theme is playing cards. There's four main Riders who each get their own suit. It's quite overused at times but when it is overused, IT IS AWESOME. Take this for example:
SPADE TEN
SPADE JACK
SPADE QUEEN
SPADE KING
SPADE ACE
ROYAL STRAIGHT FLUSH
I've finished it, RaiDK is almost there. It is a very good series, probably my favourite out of the five or so I've seen so far. It takes the best bits out of the series before it and merges them into one brilliant package. Some great plot twists and a great backstory.

On a related note, Kuuga's now been subbed which means every Heisei series is now available for watching.

OOO definitely had one of the better first episodes of the heisei era. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Hobo main character will be interesting too.

555 is quite shitty. It starts well, but it ends horriblyyy.....
Also, Kamen Rider is made of win:
