Don't worry, for 2021 they'll add a box to the bike to put your key into.

It is not over yet, track riding is coming up. Streetriding is just streetriding. :P

[@abymathew295]

@@Pillokun , but street riding is what matters the most...even a V4 superleggera owner will be spending 90% of his time on the streets...

[@Pillokun]

@@abymathew295 well yeah, but for street riding you dont need more than like 20-40bhp, you closed the deal with your government with your sign when you took your drivers license that you would follow the rules. There are not rights, only obligations in traffic so buying these bikes for street riding is not really the best choice so to speak, I want to use the wording "retarded" even though I myself prefer to be on a sport machine on public roads because I find it more comfortable than on a bike where you get back pains by sitting upright instead of tilted down and being held up by the air like a sail. It is when you want to expel those inner demons of yours that it is really important to know which of these bikes is top dog, ie on the track so that you are not a retard on the public roads. On the street, nah, every bike here is good enough for street riding to be honest.

[@abymathew295]

@@Pillokun , you are also true, more power comes with more responsibility...a 40bhp bike is enough to ride on the street, but where it struggle is on overtakes...still, who doesnt want to smoke some super cars on the road with a fraction of its price tagged equipment...lo..😄😀

[@CookingwithChefDai]

It would be helpful and easier to navigate this video if you broke it down into chapters in the timeline. Cracking video lads

[@MrDauru]

An hour long, you guys are smashing it! ‘TV’ level production here!

[@fivespeed3026]

I normally won’t watch a KZbin video this long but I didn’t even question it for 44 Teeth. I’d watch a 3 hour video from you guys.

[@LIKWID]

Over an hour? You are spoiling us! This is definitely worth waiting for. Gonna get comfy and settle in to watch this. Wednesday night sorted 😎👍

[@_Makanko_]

Gosh that Fireblade sounds so amazing. Can't wait for the track results. Right now the Ducati would be my pick, followed by the BMW. Rant on the keyless ignition had me in stitches.

Holy shit! The whole thing in one video?! Was expecting it to be dripped out to maximise ad revenue. I'll buy a hoodie next time you get larges in as a thanks! Also big ups to Bridgestone for the sponsorship. Bought a set of S22's for my Street Triple RS because of these guys. Fantastic tyres!

The Yamahas' brake issues seem a bit ironic after the last Motogp race.

did i see wrong or did the trailer for the track test show one of the guys went down? lol, what if it's because the yami brakes made them run wide?

[@woodzex]

Love the video, well done boys! This is peak motorcycle entertainment. One small thing I would love to have would be a small icon or brand-logo of the bike you're on in the corner of the video, whenever youre talking about it in first person. Most of the time it is pretty clear which bike you're on but sometimes I have to pause for a second to remind myself which machine you're on right now. Probably also because I am not super familiar with the current generation of sports bikes.

[@quidestnunc9238]

Please Remember...Baldy and The Pooper (Chris) speak Limey and it is difficult for us Murikins tu unnerstan 'cuz their side of the Pond cuz weerd things with the language [such as when those Fish 'n Chippers remove the "i" from "medicine" and place it in "aluminum" saying that word "Al-yoo-min-ee-um." Go Figure, Limeys.

[@HyperBiker]

That was the quickest hour of my life gone in a long time. I agree with the BMW but you didn't mention the built in bluetooth and satnav or the cruise control, which for me, after owning an S1000R for a couple of years with cruise control, is an essential item in motorcycling these days. It really makes covering distance a lot more endurable.
