Loads of Chris content lately. Good to have you back

[@twozup1098]

All we need now is Jake the Peg back on his three wheeler and the trio is complete once again.

[@VState60]

Came here to write that!! Love him being back!

[@RoryMacdonald-pfff]

Not in the market for one, but what a dropped ice cream from Yamaha. Invite 44T and say “no cameras on circuit”. Flaccid.

[@OrangeGenerator]

It's more the track rules rather than the manufacturer.

[@Drakelett]

@@OrangeGenerator Bloody French.

[@RoryMacdonald-pfff]

@@OrangeGenerator you reckon? Didn’t come across that way in the vid - the rider they had guiding riders round had 2 cameras on to give Chris some track footage (only because Chris pushed for it).

[@alrightdave6135]

Yes dear

[@lonpfrb]

Insurance requirements would be my thought and pro riders have to be covered for promotion which is part of their job. Punters, not so much.

[@stephensmith7651]

You don't get to appreciate just how late on the brakes Toprak is on TV until you see footage like that. Great content once more chaps.

[@DrNat1]

When player 2 joins 😂😳 Topraks a beast eh 👍🏼

[@gixxis3264]

but toprak isn't afraid to bounce off other riders to aid his braking , talented but dudes unhinged

[@Terraceview]

Wow seeing Toprak fly by you like that and trail brake that late was something!

[@donwoolley5763]

Hi Chris, I’m 77 but my son is a rider & just bought an R7…great video & thank you for your good work!

[@neilhutton1528]

Normally when I watch these sort of KZbin press events I can't help but think "smug, lucky git" however you always come across so well and it is clear for all to see how much you do appreciate your role and I feel that you are actually out there doin' it for all us. I hope you get my drift (it's complement if you don't 😉) 👍

[@kiztime1234]

Yeah definite one of us vibes from 44T. Long may they reign.

[@chrispawlak14]

Thank you Chris, you were top notch! Comments are right , you look awesome. Great video with honest thoughts . Lucky boy to share a track with legends , you’ve come so far ! Soldier on my friend!

[@basiltschudi3283]

Fun to see your video and seeing my car in the background...me and my brother did the whole event like all the blue stuff we put up and the fridges in the boxes etc...goot to hear that you liked the event

[@_Makanko_]

Very nice bikes. You did look a bit cramped on some shots but you're a tall lad. Happy you had a blast, track looked awesome

[@andreww5773]

I like the way Yamaha is doing the CP2 family of bikes. The R7, T7, MT/FZ. They put the solid money on the stuff you can't easily do aftermarket, and then definitely cheaped out on the rest. Let people get in cheap if thats what they can afford, but have a solid platform to get crazy with if you want.

[@dg8062]

Yep, nothing like the factory trailer and techs showing up, riding with the world champion. You lucky F*#K!

[@danogden1623]

New viewer to 44teeth. Loving the BBB, the superbike showdown and all the other content like this one. Thank you kindly!!

[@doug3011]

22.11 slo mo of the dude in the white leathers giving it the leg dangle then going straight off.. lol..good vid. and being overtaken by the Toprak is too cool for school.

[@Ironhead665]

That dude is Sandro Cortese so not even an amateur. The last shot with Toprak, Cortese, Mulhauser and another one from YART and Morais filming is something special.

[@shaunpritchard9476]

class, your only able to do what they let ya... Great coverage as usual... love the r7 ...

[@dodgyp6405]

Great work Chris - got to wonder though why the promoters are banning GoPro's etc. surely that's a massive shot in the foot for an 'in the spotlight' opportunity like this. Cheers team, can't wait for more Bavarian BBB 😃

[@Dral.09]

GoPro's on the riders is purely because of safety. And maybe insurance reasons too

[@Jason.cbr1000rr]

@@Dral.09 im starting to think its also the business and markerting aspect of it

[@Dral.09]

@@Jason.cbr1000rr I did a normal trackday here in Estoril and they didn't let me record with me camera in my helmet/body, just on the bike. It was with TMSR

[@moderngardenrooms7717]

Hope Boothy is doing okay ❤

[@marktwiselton9349]

Agree totally. A Boothy update when you can please guys. He is loved by all us 44 Teethers.

[@deanodrives4966]

I recently rode the r6 and r7 at Silverstone. The r7 was such a surprise, it was great being able to use all of the power all of the time and the torque out of the corners was actually good

[@Pillokun]

Personally an supersport 600 is all I need on our Swedish short and narrow tracks, guess it is pretty similar to UK tracks. But would love if the r6 had a crossplane crank for that sweeet raw engine sound.

[@KevTubeee]

16.*** RPM crossplane sounds would be jizzy. 💦

[@mooiboyace]

Short and narrow is exactly where the R7 shines though! I always feel like 600 aren’t actually that good on technical tracks because it’s hard to keep them in that 12.000+ RPM powerband

[@Pillokun]

@@mooiboyace but the r7 is a budget bike we all laughed at not so long ago. and I have actually never really been that unimpressed by the torque of an 600, maybe because I always am at the right rpm :P

[@ct9683]

@@mooiboyace having raced one for 2 seasons it’s really not difficult, just gotta be in the right gear

[@mooiboyace]

@@Pillokun 🤣Good solution! I think an R7 with upgraded suspension would be a very good suprise for you though! I’ve only ridden the MT07 and R6 but i’d love to try the R7 one day

[@roelfkromhout]

[@lordgibbness]

I'm waiting for the r9 - I think that'll be perfect for UK trackdays...

[@mrEz87]

Me too! I have a r6 tackbike and recently sold the first gen mt09. The love child of them too is my dream lol. If they don't hurry though I might get a mt10sp

[@Terraceview]

Awesome stuff Chris, it's good to see you smile!

[@OHMMoto]

Love your riding style, Chris. So smooth and dangly 🤣

[@nippz2831]

always glad when a video comes out

[@wobblysauce]

Even without the normal angles… this was a great bit of work, and no mics just let you enjoy

[@DrNat1]

Just to follow Toprak for 1 second is awesome 👍🏼👍🏼

[@StreakyGonzalez]

Hoping Chris buys the R1 GYTR just for the content it’ll give. Rocking up to track days and slapping the rest of the grid about… in an ideal world.

[@jalexandr55]

Good to see you back!

[@ryancox3834]

Loving catching up on this content plethora. All superb

[@patw9175]

The general public's reception to the R7 still baffles me. People pine over the SV650 and complain about how old it is in the same breath AND it's still somehow one of the most popular track day bikes in the US. The paddock is littered with them you're fucking tripping over SV650s. Yamaha comes and makes an SV650 that isn't from 2008 and everyone shits all over it. Wtf?

[@crc0889]

Cos it's not a £2k nostalgia inducing cheapy sv650. It's an £8k 89bhp brand new bike that is supposed to replace the 130bhp, world championship winning, revvy screamer of the R6. People who didn't want an sv650 had plenty of choice of 600s, including its bigger bro, gsxr 600. People who don't want the R7 have the choice of....what? A 200bhp R1 for like £20k?

[@nic-nevell6795]

I love that your humble about your skills on the track. But bro from what I can see your a great rider with an attractive smothe style. Elbows down the lot, you sure aren't average. Good work for a big lad.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

great to see chris enjoying himself

[@oneonlyxram]

What a day! I tested an r7 at the track and it was easy to ride, but I wasn't a fan of the brakes though.

[@lonpfrb]

ABS delete is a common fix

[@10secondsrule]

I’m watching all these adds for you - please tell me does it help or its a waste of time - that’s the only way I can support you for now. Excellent content, thank you!

Chrissy Wissy! So many memories of Murray Walker announcing F1 races at Paul Ricard. Man.

[@highway9patrol]

15:35 that overtake. 😅 Don't worry dude, Toprak also overtakes JR and Bau too. 😅

[@cchief249]

Great video and in-depth review of the GYTR line-up! R1 has always been my dream bike, sadly I think with the market lately I may tend towards a pre-owned '18+ or so. Although this GYTR they've produced are mighty enticing to go into debt for lol.

[@josgraha]

you guys probably have one of the best jobs in the world :). thanks for sharing the passion and expertise

[@CreativeCoconutGames]

That arai and iridium visor is boooootiful 😍🔥what model is the Arai? nice video as always fellas

[@Flip01]

Great work Chris. Can't believe how good your riding is these days. I'd be shitting riding on a track with Toprak👍🔥

[@Anthraxegott]

I still think of the OW02 whenever i read R7 in the title.

[@twozup1098]

Me too. Can’t get my head around it basically being an MT07 with extra plastic. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lordbongonaba]

i hope Yamaha does a R7-SP , with mt09-sp bits and a little more power. Would be cheaper than that full far R7 you rode, and almost as desirable

[@Duane-d6o]

Crazy to think this could be the last Gen R1 if rumours are true . Sign of the times 😢

[@lmesen1873]

what the fuck are you talking about??

[@seb42]

Where did you hear this rumor?

[@nicksidell4797]

At the end of the day there’s not many people out there you can ride a bike of that capability to its full potential. So you may as well have the cheaper one set suspension up for you and have fun and rag the arse of it And still get in a muddle with it. Really enjoyed the video 👍

[@edudilascio]

The content is great as always.

[@mbal4052]

I’d be happy with a standard R6, track fairings, rear sets, exhaust system and sticky tyres

[@findingneutral426]

World is trying to re event the wheel. 600’s are epic!

[@siraff4461]

I'm sick of hearing the "R7" is the second coming. It's not. Its a commuter bike in a frock. My MSX is better than my busa around a car park but its hard to say its a better bike. Saying that half assed effort is anything like as good as the ground up designed to be fast R6 or R1 is just daft. Maybe at low speeds around a daft track it could compete with them but anywhere there is a straight its going to get dropped like a 10-pinter the morning after. When it needs £7k thrown at it to be competetive the old SV idea is looking like a bargain.

[@snakerb]

Finally someone says it.

[@lukecoxsen]

Exactly, in Australia the r7 is a learner approved bike. It's basically a mt07 with fairings and clip ons

[@mikecarswell7170]

[@beardy_welder]

Most likely the tracks insurance provider stipulation as opposed to yamahas. Helmet cameras can lead to extra neck injuries if you come off and tank mounted cameras fall off all the time. Sucks I know but that's the way it is unfortunately

[@binlagin]

@@beardy_welder they allowed cameras on the other bikes though.

[@beardy_welder]

@@binlagin yeah not too sure, I could be wrong. I've heard that it's insurance in a lot of other instances. I'm sure there's probably a silly reason in there somewhere

[@rackbites]

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

10:17 - Yamaha "no on board video showing how slow it is" If it was just called a sporty styled 700 twin, then that's fine. But to call it an R7. We are being lied to. "I bought an R7." "No way, I always liked them. Is it an old one, are they making them again?" "No, no. They made a 700 twin with half the power of the R6 and called it R7." "What? Is it like a Kawasaki ER6N?" "No, the Kawasaki makes more power." "But they're calling it an R7?" R1 looks amazing!

[@eclipsegfxable]

+1 one on daytona's being hard to get parts for, they're fantastic bikes (I've owned 2 including the one I have now) but my most recent crash at the track was a pain in the ass to sort out parts for even though I did pretty minimal damage, if you do go the daytona route get a 3rd gen (2013 onwards) cos they have less issues and are overall the best 675's.

Hi Chris, not sure how long you`ve been doing this (44 teeth) but I know one thing. Every time you ride a Yamaha you are beaming, it`s in your blood. I was the same when I was 16 (FS1E) I`m now 63 and ride a Yamaha R1M. I was at the Yamaha R1M day at Silverstone last year, it was pants as it rained all day. I saw you there, but when I wanted to talk with you I couldn't find you? Do you or have you ever been to Snetterton on a track day? (In Norfolk) I hope Boothy is getting better? All the best Karl🏍🏁
