JHS racing's pre maintenance is one of the more enjoyable parts of the BBB IMHO.

[@disekjoumoer]

I'm just glad that they're actually looking at the machines this time instead of the clusterfuck that was BBB3. I've always said they should do a BBB with step one being a strip and rebuild.

[@FRFM00]

@@disekjoumoer dude you know they have lives right? they cant just do a strip and rebuild. They have families, the garage has shit to do, they have to leave by a certain date. if you wanna nerd out theres vids of that out there

Yep they got it right this time bit more detail like it!

should get a stig like rider and put some lap times on these former beasts after the refresh to make it a real performance budget bike battle xD

[@rexchan8]

I never knew how much I missed this until I started watching.

[@pilocmusic]

Guys honestly, I can only imagine how many hours you guys spend on this so that we are entertained while doing our “business”😂😂 Thanks a lot! Can’t wait for more❤️

[@anthonyoriordan5967]

Heavy jet washing a k5 is dodgy, the ecu the way its positioned behind the rider seat cowl😱 and if its had its exhaust servo motor black wire removed from it to stop Fi light coming on is an opening for water and blown ecu😭

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Anthony O Riordan now I'm rooting for the '06 Raven and Sue on this one as I had the same bike but want a fair budget bike battle so don't give Sue any ideas for sabotage 😉 jj!!! I was with Al being an ex 999R owner on the last BBB but going with Chris on the Raven here! She's heavy but hopefully the reliability of the '05-08 Yami will pull thru. I had many ameture track days ruined by a local on a k5 so looking for some redemption Chris! Hope his is as reliable and strong as mine was! Tho when I went crossplane 4 in my '09 there was no going back. 👍

[@3SecondsFromDeath]

Boys, if you're riding to Benidorm you've got to try to include the 330. It's a mountain road running south from Requena (just West of Valencia) towards Alicante. The road is a series of twisties with smooth tarmac (it was resurfaced a few years ago)!

[@jonpram1737]

hehehe I just had to come back and see that K0.6 getting bought again> "This is Russ, Say hello Russ... Russ is a very nice man" Lol

[@hog-boy-8843]

Sue Perkins and Al Murray double act. Top Gear on two wheels, great formula - Keep up the good work Boys.

[@mornadu]

Those bouncy birds are a great addition. I was finding myself instinctively going for a different video, but those slow mo shots kept me around. Mmm delicious

[@BusaLova]

I've owned an '05 R1 for seven years. One very common fault is the magnetic plates glued to the inside of the rotor surrounding the coil. Prone to letting go, and many metal chunks get stuck in the motor oil. Also, catalytic converter. Bit weak on the shock, but that's been sorted. Bit heavy to steer as well, it requires commitment. Awesome, awesome motorbike. Give it love and it will never betray you.

[@pyroscot]

Boom the boys are back in town 😁

[@allansrensen1480]

Yay! Can't wait for this. Best thing on the Interweeebs. You need to know that right after watching the BBB Suzuki vs Kawasaki I bought a ZX-7R (1998) based on your experience and I'm loving it 💚 Go, go, go team R1!

[@nickegan3988]

Yesss, so happy to see this. K6 1000 owner here. Al’s K6 should walk this, provided it doesn’t go bang.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Nick Egan LOL had an '06 Raven Jsut like Sue Perkins and LOVED IT! Was built by previous owner, "older" Ohlins,Brembo,Full Termi system, some titanium internals and it was a beast! Literally,..was heavy lol awesome hp , but heavy , had a k5 owner constantly ruining my track days lol not as reliable as my raven but reliability is shit when riding home chasing that k5 tail all damn day! 😉👍 hope Chris has some tricks up his sleeve, lol that Ohlin$$$$$ will help a bit. Gotta cut some weight too tho espcailly being he's what 6'-4 to the legends typical BSB legend size annnnnd BSB legend skill 😳

[@manuelurrego2627]

the sappy music when Statham was getting ready to pick up his bike lol!

[@MrBoybergs]

Great choice of bikes yes; but tbh I'm more interested in watching you guys arsing around in Benidorm. BBB banter by the beach.....perfect :)

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Boy Bergs lololololol. I TOO LOVE the BBB actual riding BUT the British banter between these two Is literal top notch!!! Hoping for another commercial like the one of homeless Al winning the Ducati "Panigooley" no greater entertainment than that commercial LOL these #44Teeth guys!!!

[@MrBoybergs]

@@MZ-bl6wg yeah, that 'sketch' was hilarious....and the guys acted it incredibly well :)

[@epicwolf]

I still think the 2006 r1 is the best looking "classic" sports bike ever. It looks ahead of its time. When I had one back in 2012 people who doesnt know much about motorcycle thought it was a brand new 2012 bike

[@ExpatonTwoWheels]

I think the Gixxer will win, but I owned a 2002 R1 and I'm partial to those. Absolutely loved it. Plus, Gixxer owners are annoying. Gotta go Team R1.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Expat on Two Wheels I had a '97 yzf750R , a '06 Raven just like Chris , an '09 CP4 Raven (crossplane changed my life) and good Lord a '15 R1 and ending on a '17 Supernaked R1 MT10 and I'm a Yamaha guy as well for sure (do love Ducati as well but my 999R was in the shop more than all my bikes combined ) the '06 was a beast, believe it had the quickest 0-60mph and 1/4 mile on a Factory bike ever up to that point but yes it was heavy , reliable as hell though! Agreed though, there was a gsxr1k that continued to ruin my track days back then lol so have to pray for Sue Perkins Raven! Mine had an Ohlins, Brembo and Termignoni upgrades and can say the Ohlins (his being much newer upgrade will help. Hp is good. Reliability next level, but bit of a hippo, SO excited for this BBB,...again lol

loved the way that R1 looked in the back of the van looked like it had eyes & was one of the lads 😂😂 BBB YES!!!

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Uncle Buck is Owned the same bike, after owning it for a month I made the grave mistake of letting a coworker who also rode and tracked, take it out at lunch, he had a cbr600rr, for on my Raven and pulled out in utah march (cold) and throttled it halfway into a lean spinning it out across the road , I have it on video lol epicly funny and sad,..snapped the clip on off so he went and rented a trailer we put it on while he assured me he'd strap it down good,..to get it back to my house while I held it upright,..I'm the dumbass for after that letting him strap it down...we got in his blazer and I'll never forget looking out the back window as he turned out on the exact street, same place he low sided it, and seeing those mean eyes,..mis turn quickly to sideways lol literally first corner same spot bike dumped on its side breaking the other side of the fairings on the trailer rails!!! No joke!!!! Worst part is the douche bag that was once a friend dragged out repairs then blamed me saying tires were too old ,..never paid for any of , quit our firm and disappeared never to be heard from again. Lol so u hadgoogle eyes seeing that view I had PTSD lol 😉👍

[@bronx187G]

The Architect the eyes of disapproval lol👍👍

[@freedom9122]

i love your whole series on budget bikes its so great to watch and really informative. I have an idea for the next budget bike series...hyperbikes?? The most famous and iconic motorbike of all time is the one and only Suzuki Hayabusa and the next best thing that beat the top speed of the Busa ..zx14 or the ZZR14. Chris could find a 2006-2008 first series Kawasaki as he likes these bikes and Fagan could find a 2nd generation, Busa. The views would go through the roof with these to bikes and you could settle the score once and for all which overall after a 3-4 day test is the best bike

[@mriegger]

7:08 Russ better have bought a 44 hoodie with some of that money.

[@pablononpicasso1977]

Good to see you both really enthused this time, grinning and buying shitters, which are like opportunity, right from the get go. It's after 1am and had to crack a beer to watch.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Willi Poppe back in 06-10 I tracked a Ducati 999R Fila and an '06 Raven R1 just like Chris,..of course my Duc was AMAZING (back then) but always in the shop,...BUT I LOVED My '06 Raven as a track bike ,..Previous owner did an old Ohlins upgrade Brembo, some Titanium internals to help with the weight,..I'll tell ya,..the dual CF and titanium Termignoni full system sounds awesome on it adds good power and cuts a lil weight , I never once had a single issue with mine,..great track bike and can't complain having perfect reliability in a track bike lol BUT I did have a k5 rider ruin many a track days for me lol tho let's Jsut say maybe he was Jsut a better rider 😉 he did say tho he issues and Ecu problems but chased that tail a lot. Would say that if going R1,..that gen; go 2008 if u can, nearly identical prices and had some pros to the '05-07 and the best hp and performance of the gen. I personally went to '09 crossplane R1 after and was a game changer!! But a bit more! Then equally going to the new '15 cp4 r1 was that much better but for me...a 41 year old wreck broken rider , I went to a '17 MT10 and nodded and I run some better times believe it or not than on my r1's loose out on the long straight but the short tight stuff it blasts out the apex , plus I can ride it the 90 minutes home in comfort lol, find me used for '09 R1 prices now too. Your '05-08 parts are on every corner but u won't need it, AMAZING reliability, don't wash it with a hose tho, I was so careful and somehow got a wierd ignition issue for 2 weeks after , only Problem on any yamaha I've owned. Good luck in the quest! Not sure where ur buying but I think Al said his k5 had 42,000 miles 😳 can find used '06 ravens here in the west Us for $3k with under 10k miles look around for sure .

[@S1000xrhp]

I love looking back at the owners disbelief that they've managed to shunt their bucket of bits onto you with the apparent innocence of all the (ahem) foibles that you later discover. Like nearly all second hand buys you need to add at least another £500 plus incredible patience for the hassle of fettling all the bodges and cheap fixes that will be revealed. They know and secretly you know they know but you've got to find out. So it's buyer beware and if its ex-raced then buyer begone. Just save yourself that 500 mile round trip. Maybe better to not reveal the previous owners identity?

[@davejohnson7859]

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Andrew S if you're in the US look on cycletrader.com change the price to low to high and the search range to anywhere in the US ,..can get a '05-08 R1 with under 10k miles for $3-3500 all day long for that matter can get a '17 cp4 MT10 supernaked R1 in the $6-7k range with under 10k miles too . That's the trick in the Us, shipping is dirt cheap , may need to pay for a $300 round trip flight to check it out but can then ship it for less than $200 anywhere in the US. Worth it! I got a '17 FZ10 (MT10) 2 weeks after they launched here that same way. Bought it with only seeing a few pictures (as it was new) never rode it, but msrp was $12,999 us but ALL utah dealers were marking up $1,000+ so I searched that way and found California dealer that bought too many in the grey yellow so they dumped 2 new ones at $9,200 OUT the door, no dealer fees markups etc,..in the end i saved nearly $7,000 over buying in utah!!!! Just by searching that way. If in the uS try it! Worth it!

[@andrews9577]

@@MZ-bl6wg Thanks for taking the time to post this. I recently (last week) took delivery of my first Honda RC51 and loved it so much that 4 days later I was driving a few hours to get another. Bought a 2001 GSX-R 1000 some time back with Dymag carbon wheels for $3200 and have been cleaning her up. Gonna be a nice bike. Only thing I take issue with is shipping cost. I bought my first RC from Wisconsin dealer (800+) miles away and waited a loooong time to get a shipper for $500. Uship etc recommended $350, but no interest from drivers. Definitely need to adjust bike cost for shipping and so on that bike I did 'ok'. Second one I got for $4000 in virtual showroom condition. Love the V Twin.

Also, great to see Chris back on the insta-tube and Stat looked a litter 'tired and emotional setting off to Sunderland. BBB Royale.

[@Daniel-gb9ex]

When Chris said "I cannot see how Al will beat that" my immediate thought was " easily if he gets a k5-k6 " and next scene is Al saying he's getting a k5-k6 ! I feel you Al that bike has been my dream bike for a long time as well. It came out the year I started riding and was so above everything else, all the sites and magazines going crazy over it. There's also that rumor that BMW used it as a benchmark and base for developing the first S1000RR. It really is an iconic bike. Another BBB I'm siding with Fagan.

[@fireoil]

Exciting as always. A new motorcycle epic quest just begun. Quest given by JHS

[@sdolman79]

Who to support, I had a 5vy as my first thou and loved it for 5 glorious years so have a real soft spot for them, but I liked my k5 a lot although it was only a 600. But the R1 is like that bird who thinks she's too good for you and is always demanding while the Gixxer is that bird who is always happy to cook you a skeak and give you a blowy. So I'll go team Al for the win.

Bikes over 10yrs old always seem to have been neglected and are completely buggered somewhere. I bought an 09 R1, I loved that bike so, so much but it spent more time on a rack with bits being pulled out than not. It's such a shame, but the main lesson from BBB has been, whatever you pay, expect to be paying double on top before you give up, make a loss and PCP something that's good for years to come
