I'm an f1 person and it's good to see red bull and binder in the fastest bikes in the world

MotoGP drivers are more like us Marines sky diviers F1 drivers are like fighter jet pilots

Thank you so much for this very interesting video! The wife and I are huge Moto GP fans, and have been for the last 30 years.

Biggest advantage, they look freaking amazing

"Zero forks given about traditional design" "Fork it, we're doing it hub-center style" "Fork my life, where's the front end?" "Son of a fork, look at that front end!" "Absolutely forking brilliant engineering" "Holy forking suspension, Batman!" "For fork's sake, how does it turn?" "That's forking wild engineering" "Sweet mother-forking innovation" "What the fork is that suspension?" "Get the fork out of here with that design" "Fork around and find out how it handles" "This bike's got no forks to give" "What in the forking engineering?" "Forking amazing cornering" "Not a single fork was given in this design" "Who gives a fork about traditional forks?" "Fork yeah, that's innovative!" "This is forking genius" "You bet your forking bearings it works" let's leave it here.

Because it feels weird.

I enjoy blipping so much, It feels like you are connected to what the bike wants.

bastanini couldnt even turn that bike

I would love to someday experience seeing this in person. Amazing what people are capable of.

The main thing that makes me fear crashing is the cost of repairing my bike. If bike repairs were free I would have no fear 🏍

A CRUCIAL factor which is rarely explained in many videos is that torque is increased through the rear wheel when the bike is leant over, effectively by the 'lower' gearing which happens as the tyre circumference DECREASES in comparison to when the bike is upright. So if a rider is used to a certain degree of acceleration with a familiar twist of the wrist, that same throttle opening as the bike is leant over will produce stronger acceleration, which is why so many videos of guys showing off for the camera, leaning right over, result in the back end swinging out under power....and crash. The loading up of the contact patch by cornering load doesn't help either. Best to try and stand the bike up as much as possible before really opening up the throttle.

How is somebody good when they keep crashing, anybody can go fast, but not everybody can stay on.

The adage 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' is never more relevant than in this case

You do not "Steer" a motorcycle. The direction of a motorcycle can be changed in many ways, they are learned instinctive methods. From the simple at speed bolt upright push the left end of the handlebar forwards to go left. to the extreme racing complex moves of spinning up the rear when hanging off the side, pushing the wrong way, hanging over the otherside........ just watch moto GP to see complex stuff look simple (there is a whole lot more going on than you think)

No forks given .

F1 its a funny drive compare with MotoGP. The guys are perfectly acrobats with a strange power in muscles and mind. He haven’t fear.

I don’t dress like a power ranger so I’m not bothered about knee down I’m more interested in front wheel up on my r1 😂. Anyone can lean once taught not everyone has the balls to keep that front wheel up tho especially past triple digits

Ride a shortened 90mm, and lightened GTS with fixed front suspension , FAR too stiff out of the box,it is particularly on bad surfaces, totally predictable !! Have an RC 30 too, with decidedly better handlebar feedback , but definitely not as predictable !! So I guess it is a mind game of trust !!

I'm a taller rider, and most are not tall. Moving weight to the rear for braking is HUGE being able to use the rear brake. Shorter guys cannot do this as effectively, and the bikes are not designed for this anyway. It's like a forgone secret, mostly because it's a pain for those who can't do it. The g's wear you out, but you catch'em in braking.

Isle of man TT is a measuring instrument of which rider have the bigger balls

This Rider doesn't see racing, as a job. That mentality+other abilities =Greatness!

This is very very useful information.Great video brother.

Crash too many times

6:26: They look like the Moto Guzzi V8..

This technology is great On scooters, I have a fork scooter and I have a c shaped suspension. The c shaped one is almost too smooth So I can see where that disconnect with the riders, However, this is a user error because the rider can't feel the limits that it can achieve. What do we need to do? To utilize the stability? Well, traction control. Is getting even better with AI. Technology. We could also even utilize. A type of all-wheel drive. Where the front tire is only controlled with AI. It's too unstable otherwise. Just imagine, though. You're leaning down 30° like that and your back tire slips out. There's nothing you can do about it unless your front tire could pull you out of it

Pikeys a plenty! If you require high speed to get off, then you have much bigger issues to deal with. Acceleration. That's where it's at. And rallying. If I'm gonna die racing, it's gonna be on a gravel/dirt/snow covered road, sideways and grinning. With no co-driver! I'm not gonna take anyone with me (as Jeremy Clarkson said) "sliding backwards in a ball of flames into the Pearley Gates"

I watched Pedro dominate in Moto 3, but he really shone in Moto2, its great to see him on the big bikes, great natural rider, future champ for sure

There's more to losing grip than just tyres. Your bike's ground clearance (exhaust, etc) is also a factor.

I am using 110/70/17 tyre in 100/80 stock tyre ,but in real the 100 section is wider than 110/1 used (but 110 provide more grip with little worse handling )should i go to stock on front or upgrade radial front, because i have rear 150/60 steel radial 2 .my front telescopic suspension has sudden compression so in hard braking it make stoppie and not great feedback while trail braking (not smooth weight shifting ) what can be a soln ??

Nice video

Great Video, History & Tribute To Not Only The Isle Of Man But The Great Riders Who've Raced There. Thank You. (Comment #309)

In summary: "If you are scared of leaning in standard situations, do it in a more dangerous one with slippery roads" It might be me, but it doesn't sound very logical. Yet, we are motorcyclists.

Pedro Acosta ends most races at 90 degrees of lean.

Answering the title question: no.

The days of riding your "scooter" to the track, then racing all day and riding it home were pretty well over by 1960. Nobody would thinh of a LeMans constructor trophy car, or an F1 car as a daily drive.

pinapanood ko Yan . salamat sa imfo kung San nuon pa pala may ginaganap Jan karera

8:38 Why are these things becoming more and more difficult to steer?

11:02 what a haircut

I did dozens of track days, almost every weekend of the season for years. I'm a plumber, my daily job is very physical, Even then, every Monday after the track weekend every muscle in my body hurt just like the first time. My admiration and respect to these riders.

im curious how the disruption of the air flow fairly far back (considering the rider vs wing position) from the front wings would actually reduce / negate the effects of the inside aero. The wings are upfront and the air has already gone past them, generating the downforce / side force on the wings already. If anything, it would only disrupt the airflow on the rear of the bike, and negate the inside rear wings?

people are blind!!! is there even a discussion to be had?!?! he's proven everything dominated the lower catergories in his 2nd years\put veteran drivers behind him with the same bike in his rookie year IN MOTOGP !!!!! what else does this kid have to do?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

There are 1 big problem, moto 3 and moto 2, aren’t propedeutical for MotoGP like 125, and 250 where for 500cc. Pedro will be the 4th competitor next year…

The IOM is a race on another level. Just to SURVIVE proves you're a damn good rider, but to win...Ah, that's on yet another level. You have to be at one with the bike, know every inch of the course, have superb co-ordination, crackerjack reflexes, an instinct for when and where to push or ease off and that's just some of the qualities required! I have ridden superbikes for years, raced FAST karts since my teens(56 yrs young now!), and drive a fast Toyota, but even with my skill-set I wouldn't stand an earthly of beating any of the middle-order riders, let alone the elite who podium! The winners are in a league of their own, and I hope the "elf and safety" don't force it to end. Nobody makes the riders compete, and they all know the risks, and all these factors make it a truly spectacular showcase for the world to admire (and hold it's breath)! Long may it endure!💫

I'll stop laughing at Euro elitist "but we use the metric system" idiots when they stop using it wrong. "It's logical!" Skipping the other "logical" issues... grams are not a unit of force.

Not if he stays @ KTM

how do i get good? average dark souls player: just get gut.

I rode for years in Vancouver BC ,all year around. It was so refreshing not to see other riders waving back at me like some sort of summer toy hobbyist enthusiast fraternity. The price, nine months of rain and cold. I've learned to feel the bike and the feedback it gave me in those cold rainy winter days. I wouldn't recommend though.

Most team managers will tell you: you can stop them crashing, you can't make them fast.

BULLSHÍT !

Good video. Thanks,
