MotoGP is F1 with two wheel less.. but better 😜

[@absolutedan9173]

Haha, as much as I love motorsport in general. MotoGP is so much better than F1

[@luisdiegocr]

Yeah, but the big difference is that MotoGP does have racing action at the top of the field

[@Aimaiai]

@@luisdiegocr and the action is absolutely absurd, even to someone who rides themselves, seeing the stunts and angles they pull while pushing those bikes to the limit is awe inspiring, compared to the relative stability and hidden mechanics of an f1 car. The onboard footage of MotoGP is pure insanity.

[@Pzest_Titan]

As a f1 fan, I have to agree, the level of intensity is insane in moto gp, I still love f1 but why not have both? Lol

[@viking_2112]

Agreed. Really gone off F1 recently. Massively prefer MotoGP. Especially this year with how exciting the grid is and the fact that the two rounds we've had so far (writing this just before fp2 at Texas) have been mega and not even any of MotoGPs greatest but far better than all 4 rounds of F1. Only issue with MotoGP now is liberty media owning them and I really dislike the flashy shows they put on with F1 and i don't want to see them do something similar for the greatest sport in the world

I've been riding motorcycles since I was 11. Now 69. After watching MotoGP, I decided "what the hell" and bought an '07 Fireblade... at 68. Happens to be a Repsol, so beautiful. Wondering to myself if I was crazy at my age to get it, after one minute riding it I realized it was the best purchase of my entire life. Absolutely phenomenal and leaves me nearly speechless. Of course it's just a base for an older MotoGP bike, but even at that it's absolutely a beast and endless enjoyment. And, not being a 'racer' locks me into MotoGP as my favorite sport and something that completely blows my mind. GREAT VIDEO BTW!!!! I will subscribe now.

[@Sam-mb2xv]

Absolutely correct my friend! I'm 33 and i have an 07 blade only in red and black but such a good bike I've said to myself ill never sell her, in my opinion one of the best looking bikes ever made even in 2024! Repsol is beautiful on that bike tho, quality purchase buddy!

[@paryudisaditya8845]

I remember seeing info that they have slightly different compounds on the left and right side of the tyre depending on the number of respective corners of the track they race at. Is that still a thing?

[@absolutedan9173]

Certainly is

[@kbmulder8675]

Did this man call Yamaha's powerhouse a "traditional" inline four? No where near traditional.. traditional design fires 2 out of the 4 pistons together whilst the other 2 rely on this power stroke to release the exhaust gasses etc etc.. Yamaha use what's called a cross-plane crankshaft (notoriously known as the Big Bang Engine) which fires each individual cylinder individually at different degrees thus giving 4 "power deliveries" to the back wheel in a single rotation instead of 2. This gives you better traction in corners cause there's less gaps where there's no power to the wheel. But not that just, the best it produces is it's unique sound. Low rpm sounds like a v4, higher rpm sounds like an inline 4 screamer

[@frankchan4272]

I have 2021 MT-09 with 3-cylinder cross-plane engine which many like the sound & like power it provides. Yes, it has some vibration but I get used to it.

[@paulhope3401]

​@frankchan4272 Yamaha call the CP3 a crossplane like its something special like its 4 cylinder cousin... but its really just a marketing ploy as all 3 cylinder engines out there are crossplane. It is a fantastic engine though.. I have the 23 gen3 MT09 SP.

[@maxwesterdijkmw]

You have mixed them up completely. Cross plane has a big pause in the middle to take back a bit of traction, flat plane fires evenly. Flat plane usually has a higher redline, cross plane more torque.

[@Moke_one_kanobi]

It will be very interesting to see the V4 at the next test…hopefully

I just recently began watching MotoGP and I'm 56. Hey, it's never too late. I became interested in it through riding my little 150cc bike and then meeting people along the journey, one of them being an ex-racer. After riding a BMW M 1000 R and Kawasaki Ninja 400, to name a few, my thirst for adrenaline hit hard. Now I want a sport bike! The 150cc bike I own is great, don't get me wrong. But, there are days where I just want to twist that throttle and enjoy the experience on something beautifully engineered for thrills.

[@radrcer]

What is important about Motogp in the last 7 years is a standard ECU and standard tire that all teams use. Before this the costs were so high since some teams had pockets to develop a better ECU. Poor teams had inferior ECU that could not compete. Also there were two tire manufacturers so if you were sponsored by Bridgestone you were stuck all year, where another team chose Michelin. This also made for bad racing if you chose the wrong tire sponsor your were stuck with a inferior tire all season. The last 6 years have been closests racing in motogp due to 1)single ECu 2) single tire provider 3)everyone realized to use a V4 engine…. Sorry Yamaha and Rossi
