Brands Hatch GP GSXR1000 K5

[@xenolard]

I think you need a touch more preload or stiffer springs on the front - nearly bottomed out a couple of times!

[@mavarok]

Its actually surprisingly cool watching the front forks, can see exactly how much your are braking / accelerating

[@BullAntx]

You might need to go up a spring rate of those forks.

[@twitchyvoncrum]

It's amazing how much work the front forks do!

[@cptnspanner]

suspension needs a looking at, methinks!

[@embryant1583]

I actually find it interesting watchig the tyres and suspension working :D and of course the track hehe

[@EvtheNev]

It's always fun watching the front forks compress and decompress under the load's.

[@JoelPeltonen]

It's great how you can see just how much the suspension is at work

[@RyanWilliamsNutrition]

Would love to see this as I've always wanted a blade after my K5 but the mentalness of the GSX-R makes me keep it.

[@abdelrrazak]

Yeah but what about body positioning for example when trying to get your knee down? Or is it just lean and pray?

[@TomJenkinsTJ95]

question for anyone really but mainly directed at BaronVonGrumble, is that a twin disc brake arrangement on the front of your bike?

[@fmannottingham]

Surprising to see just how much the forks have to work!

[@xxXmatt80Xxx]

If that was you in front on the blue/white bike Terry Merritt those were some nice lines man! very smooth!! as soon as baron started following your lines and hittin the apex he was killing it out of the corners :)

[@SuperstompElite]

decent riding my man. K5 always been the best gixxer thou. Brother has a the Black/Yellow K5 1000 and he loves it. And right at the end did you tuck the front? it cut too early lol

[@crazyjoyce]

if you cant find it, grind it @ 3.50 looks like a great day out, nice riding!

[@TheFriskyBiker]

What were the reasons the track owners didnt want you using helmet or tank cams?

[@SergeantSnitch]

hey baron, you going to BMF this weekend ? its at Peterborough and its AWESOME !

[@wall.e7692]

Excellent advice Baron, managed to knock out a couple of 52s by the end of the day. We are all there again for fun on Monday 2nd sept if your up for it !? That's the Indy by the way.

[@Xaevi]

Do you have any advice for someone who's going for a spin on a racetrack for the first time?

[@aggza1]

You get such a better drive on the start finish than the guy on the white bike, but he just has a slightly better entrance to the first corner. Awesome vid tho :D keep them up!

[@nothinbeats2wheels]

how do you like your k5 vs the k7? Nice video too!

[@M4FFU]

Brands GP was my first ever trackday. Watching this makes me want to go back. *goes to google..* Nice riding :)

[@Beaver314]

the sound on video makes it sound like you have traction control on that beast? do you? or is it just some excess resonance?

[@SubaruWRC1996]

nice video, one question how much did this cost to do

[@swetuna]

Do you clutch shift up the gears? Its sounds like you just pop them without.

[@Beaver314]

cool! i love that track and those fast downhill parts are men's corners those! that's where hill and hopkins put on the show of the century on the very last lap of the 2011 BSB championship. Tell me you know what i'm talking about?! :) :)

[@8man117]

Baron, do you time your laps? or do you just go there to ride ?

[@kevman5]

How much does a track day cost? I've always been interested but the closest track is 200+ miles and costs like 300$ a day :(((

[@Echo4Bravo]

I wonder what your lap times are compared to the old 90s 750 World Superbikes.

[@residentcourt1]

nice riding...looks like youre maxing out the front suspension.

[@ian1981uk]

Looks like you more than pulled your weight there! Your bike is road legal too right so carrying more weight etc? Last time I was at Brands I was in the 'novice' group and was getting passed left, right and centre by people on track bikes!

[@Steffos159]

3:50 lockup or something else... (I hope not) Nice riding!! I'd love to ride a gixxer around the track one day! Or just ride around the track maybe... :)

[@iTrick5]

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END? looked like you locked the front?

[@leonidas7895]

god i really wish i could carry on my bike racing but cant afford it anymore :/. but from a bike racer to bike racer Baron! you have great potential !! head down ride hard.......

[@Blahde]

Shame no Fly by's mate ;-) My local track, if you ever get back and want some track side film, gimme a shout. Would be a Pleasure!

[@BennJamesK]

So all mechanical problems from your little trip are fixed?

[@BrianWest58]

I flinched every time the front shook! Good riding Baron!

[@RCFlyBoy314]

Holy cow! Ive seen motorcycle racing, but whoa! Thats so cool from this view!

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

You do realise all the bsb pro coaches will come out of the woodwork on this one? ;-) nice ride.

[@OrcaGT]

Yikes, what happened at 3:49? Awesome track work though mate :)

[@mikeyp4690]

I love watching videos of brands! I live literally a two minute drive away from there. Yet I am not able to ride it as I need to do my full test! Bloody money, preventing fun! I'll just keep plodding about on my 125 :).

[@DeadSkema]

That looks so sketchy!! Have you ever come off on a track day?

[@robertwarner5486]

baron, do you have a slipper? also bike looks amazing! kudos on the riding position in the pic looks pro! studying marquez?

[@Atticus3lack]

Is paddock hill as scary as it looks onboard?

[@_t3dward]

cheers mate, seems silly allowing you to stick a camera on the side of the bike where it can be hit easily and is in full blast of the wind, but you can't have one on the tank behind the screen. Weird.

[@MrRc57]

Awesome I have a k6 Needs a quick shifter thats about it.Great riding

[@ThePlainGamingGuy]

Was I the only one thinking 'Do him' for the majority of the video and then had a huge grin when you did :) Well Done BvG

[@gailwhealing6326]

Looks and sounds amazing. You are bloody fast!

[@Beaver314]

what a lovely day for a trackday! couldn't have had any better weather... shame about the dusty oil slick into turn 2..

[@SurfPilot]

I like these nearly as much as your vlogs, i know, "vlog me, vlog me" When you get the head shake, or the ideal lines are taken and your forced off line a little, are there any heart in mouth moments for you still, or are you past that stage now?

[@wall.e7692]

Any Hints or Tips for Brands as Im there Wed 24th track day then racing Sept 14th?

[@_t3dward]

What mount and camera are you using baron?

[@122ffsdd]

have you had your suspension tuned?...

[@johnschlesinger2009]

Nice and smooth. Good throttle control. Your bike will like you lol.

[@lwkleijn]

Can't wait to go to TT Assen this year!

[@vince0gsxr]

Whats the reasoning behind not being allowed to have helmet and tank cams ??

[@klausnikski]

Awesome Baron on the full circuit. I imagine you felt like Shakey Byrne ;)

[@terrymerritt7467]

Far blokes on 600's don't go too bad do they!; ) as for outriding myself S3Ben it was only a track day. Rae pace is normally about 4 seconds faster consistently. Was a good day out though.

[@Yamaprilia]

Was a fun day. Good vid mate. Shame im not on that one tho on my zx10 :(

[@eddiefara]

i dont understand why they dont allow helmet cams and tank cams!

[@rossnos]

Is the GSXR1000 faster than the FireBlade?

[@2dL]

You have the same helmet as me, awesome. And you ride it on the track as well.. hahahaha. Cheers from Brazil.

[@S3Ben]

That was an awesome race with the white bike!! Lets be honest he out rode himself in the end and had to give up before the inevitable! Off to book another track day.....

[@MicaNy]

nice one ! going to have my first track experience next month .

[@abdelrrazak]

do you get your knee down?

[@tehswerver]

Do like the Brands GP. All the BSB riders have the front wheel off the ground after Surtees, great place to watch!

[@OpalBerries]

Is that you on the thumbnail?

[@devonte276]

god damn this looks like so much fun. nice run BvG

[@DucDynasty]

Bro, your suspension is very soft, its almost bottoming out. Get it tuned for your body mate

[@Jeep198503]

Put a click or 2 on your front compression

[@DubbyDominate]

So what was the fastest you went then lol

[@TheNick279]

You can see why it has a steering damper as standard!

[@TheBarnz91]

Awesome Barron. Great riding. I've got my BVG sticker on order.

[@reevedavey]

I LOVE MY K5!Shame I cant ride like this guy..

[@thecensoringkiller]

You should review the SUPER DUKE 1290

[@GeeVonMumble]

I just seen front forks go up and down for 12 mins. I Just get mesmerised by it I don't know why

[@calumkz]

Dddaaaaaannmm. Nice photo! The Baron gets it DOWN at the track!

[@bigpaape7374]

Is it faster than the Yamaha r1

[@nc29biker]

Baron Von Rumble strip lol Great vid & I love the sound.

[@ozjuice]

Awesome Duel going on there!!! Nice work!

[@troyboy986]

Wow, awesome view mate. great riding too.

[@mytymj7]

Damn, that guy in the black really didn't want you overtaking him XD little did he know, nothing stops the baron!

[@nickgnaime]

I didn't know you did videos like this or else I would have subbed a long time ago :D

[@tobortine]

If you've got time do another cut with your own commentary over the top. It would be fascinating to hear your observations watching yourself back.

[@Steffos159]

Fieuw... :) Keep it up and let us know when the little Baron enters the world

[@TheBourneRider1]

Lovin the sound of the beast!

[@markparker4316]

Its nice not seeing any annoying cars on the road ;D

[@abdelrrazak]

No, just wanted to ask for tips etc. in case you could get your knee down

[@Atticus3lack]

Woooo You replayed to me :). Been subbed for a while now. Hope the misses and the baby are doing well :)

[@entoptika]

Haha. I find myself doing lifesavers watching vids back... Good habit to have I reckon.

[@Littlebear57]

lovely track

[@simonandrews4453]

No tank or helmet cams allowed......but epic fairing shots are allowed.

[@MrDanioDomingues]

No bro you did well, front set up is to soft for you to. Bike seems to fit your style ;-)

[@Ewan.f15]

You are one good rider man!!!

[@superjackhamm3]

5.32 a bit sketchy haha - awsome video !

[@BonnyJonny13]

sesion 2? ;)

[@MrShnsei]

It was an entertaining battle. That's all that matters really.

[@QuickDrawWP]

nice save on the slippery stuff

[@IXIAdeIXI]

Yes it is.

[@odannyboy26]

Good dam your forks are soft baron..pretty good riding tho practice makes perfect!!
