Crushing dreams of the A Group trackday riders everywhere

[@Starfield6824]

What are you on about! He built his bike wrong and hasn't got a clue!! I know this because I designed and did all the friggin R&D for 10 years

[@oggystig]

It's unusual to see someone so over qualified do regular stuff on KZbin. You're cool as fuck and totally normal in the way you casually do your thing in which you are world class at. The fact that regular track day riders are your traffic makes it funny and adds real perspective for us regular riders. When I see onboard footage from a pro riding with other pros the difference to a regular "fast group rider" is only in my imagination. Seeing it in real time and in real life is amazing. It's so refreshing and makes for really great content. Favourite bike channel by far.

[@jgrose9]

That's an impressive pace on street legal rubber. A good reminder that most of us don't need slicks and a bigger bike, we need training and track time.

[@1998TDM]

Nailed it. Training and practice, best modification ever.

[@DrNat1]

This guy is/was the Suzuki motogp test rider......fuckin quick on a 50cc 👍🏼😂

[@canismajoris6733]

Slicks are safer

[@randomdude239]

Videos like this show the true meaning of the phrase “there’s levels to this game”.

[@CarloPiana]

Oh, look that guy wearing Guintoli's colors eheh, quite bold, isn't he? Darn, what was it? The Guintoli look-alike just zoomed past me like a lighting bolt! Man, this chap can ride, I would do some racing if I were him! I'm gonna give him some advice...

[@JamieW5024]

When you make an advanced trackday group look like the novice group 😂

[@TheBalija1]

And they are probably all running slicks, while SG50 is on road legal tires.

[@MantisRacing]

I noticed this as well. It made me chuckle watching it.

[@shaokahn983]

Sure thing. A World Superbike Champion, with world level multi-series racing credentials, having been a Moto GP rider and now a test rider to a factory Moto GP team, has got to have lots of mad skills on a track bike! No weekend racer, no matter how good he is, will ever be able to race anywhere near the same level.

[@cypher9000]

I managed 1:56 on Ron Haslam's 1000cc bikes on my first attempt at Donington so I guess I shouldn't be too ashamed to be 22 seconds off his pace :D

[@cristian821987]

The ammount of time he gains in corner exit is mind boggeling

[@halfblindmotonut]

Exactly. Like the actual hell am I witnessing 😮

[@joshuaespinoza5082]

I believe having a well prepped enter gives a clear prepped exit vs coming in hot.

[@timothymills733]

This is a fascinating series. Watching the evolution of a standard bike to a track bike, by someone with top level experience developing a bike, is a treat. I hope we get to see the ECU work and how and why different options are chosen.

[@laz1go286]

Wow,when a GP rider is on track then the entire A-group seems like going backwards lol🤩 Incredible gains on braking and even more on acceleration.

[@Chigoesandflea]

Seems fairly simple now.....brake 30 yards later, hold 20 mph more corner speed, full throttle at the apex. Easy. I've got it now.

[@Endurorodzndubz]

I can hear the pub talk now, about how they raced Sylvain at Donnington, but the go pro stopped working

[@oggystig]

At the Ace Cafe I once heard a fella state: "I was entering the roundabout, backin it in, knee down........wheelie out". These words have stuck with me for years. When I hear fantasy bike bragging I always hear in my head "knee down, wheelie out". Classic bullshit bike bragging. Oh........and he couldn't ride for shit I later saw.

[@gentleman2012]

They used to say that V Rossi would lap everyone in a Donington fast group within 3 laps - looks like Monsieur Guintoli could likely do the same!

[@mikeb9281]

Is a simple person, I see a video from Sylvain, I click like 👍

[@johnb897]

Amazing what a road bike is capable of and a testament of your skill level, thank you!!!

[@crsteixeira1865]

SUPER!!!!!!

[@999Rabs]

Mesmerising to watch. The Akra sounds unreal, especially when you nudged the limiter on a couple of occasions. What got me the most was how much later you braked vs. old mate on his trick track day bike, and then the drive you get out of corners! Again a couple of the other guys who managed to get close (ish) mid corner get completely smashed as you exit and leave them for dust. A great lesson of how to square the corner off and stand it up on exit as quickly as possible. Loving the channel!!!

[@jonathanwilcox7318]

Imagine smashing along in the fast group on a track day on your track prepped bike thinking you're awesome and Sylvain comes past you still hard on the gas as you're frantically pawing at the brake lever 😆

[@Marc99999]

Got these guys properly chopped! Un pur régal! Un grand merci.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

OMG that exhaust sounds epic!

[@joshuaespinoza5082]

Super stoked I get to view these special videos! Thank you so much for inspiration! ❤

[@LIKWID]

3:08 almost caught an accident on the rear camera too, close to taking the guy in front out! Incredible riding and to hear that machine just sing, loving every step of this GSXR journey Sylvain!

[@vigt1]

Poor pilots... they just saw a bullet flying by Love the content on your channel. The bike looks and sound amazing. What is the end goal with this bike by the way ?

[@SylvainGuintoli]

No particular end goal, just making it faster on track step by step, testing upgrades and most of all having fun 😎

[@malcellison8831]

Fantastic content, Sylvain. What a great bike development project this is! Thanks.

[@chutney]

Was at Donington today on a much less powerful 400gsxr but used these videos as an idea where to put myself on track it was a big help for a total newbie thanks!

[@xavierlaraserra]

This is awesome and a clue of how technology advance, as a reference to the 500cc last years, with an absolutely stock bike you was about 4 seconds from pole on 1999 GP, but now you are chasing the last second to be on pole, against Criville and Doohan, just with the ohlins, akrapovic, ecu repro, and obviously your world champion skills! Link for reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_British_motorcycle_Grand_Prix

[@Endurorodzndubz]

Be interesting to see if anyone will every brake Barry Sheene's fastest ever lap record from 1977

[@xavierlaraserra]

@@Endurorodzndubz Obviously that means that the track was modified and it is different from the actual one, so no possible then to beat

[@robertmenzies3032]

Your bike and your riding is on another planet. I was on this track day with you in advanced group also with Tommy Bridewell. Thought I was doing ok with a 1:57 on a ZX636 you came past me like I was standing still. You are so quick. Looking forward to watching more of your vids.

[@RickyJr46]

SG, it is a real thrill to see the Suzuki MotoGP bike in action- for sure, this program is receiving expert input. The GSX-RR corners as if it had thrust vectoring...keep up the fantastic efforts, team!

[@andrewrobinson1116]

Excellent video. Really enjoyed it. Thanks Sylvain. I suspect most of us would struggle to get anywhere near your road bike time even on the modified version of the bike!! Looking forward to hearing the outcome of the rest of the mods.

[@danielrusnak21]

Fast boys destroyer.Respect.

[@solidsteal]

Amazing to see the different lines and outcomes from a GP and a non-GP rider. Question: this track with its deep apex's appears to favor a strong engine-brake setting. Can you explain in more detail engine-brake tuning and perhaps adapting to an 'optimal' bike setup vs. a bike setup to your riding abilities/style? Great stuff! Keep them coming!

[@fabriceromain5379]

Thanks a lot Sylvain great vid as usual. Just one remark about the data comparison, seems to me that x axis is the actual position on the track. Not directly related to time thus the time spent in a corner can not be compared for the road and track version of your bike as easily. Most probably there is another way to show the data with x axis related to lap time, but because of the lap time différence the corners will no more be superimposed, and the fastest lap will of course end before your road version time. Anyway always a pleasure to see a French pilot riding as fast, and taking the time to explain us all those things. Thanks again

[@SylvainGuintoli]

X axis is Distance, good for basic compare with big time difference. With Time the data would have to be shifted all the time as you said 👍🏻

[@ChumiStu]

Your exit of Melbourne loop is even more impressive than watching it track side.

[@-DC-]

[@tammyforbes2101]

I been doing the same thing, but for drag racing! I prefer the straight line! I’m a big person so never gonna be a good track/closed course rider, to heavy, to tall! I weight as much as the bike, but all this muscle helps in a drag race I can man handle and stay on a big powerful bike no problem, just can’t get around corners as hard as say Rosso could! It’s just simple math more weight=less traction, especially at full tilt! The extra weight might even help on launch! I can put pressure on the pegs and keep the front wheel down, while still making forward movement! I have a 2016 Suzuki GSX-S1000 it’s the naked more street version of the GSXR! We loose top end for low-mid end torque, which is what you want for drag racing! Your not loosing much power your just using it differently! Like the GSXR has a 42 tooth rear pulley our’s has a 44! But we only wind to 11.500rpm the GSXR winds up to 13.500rpm I think it is! We win the drag race but then the GSXR blows by us like we are tied to a stump! But I love my bike, it’s all I need it does exactly what I want it to do,and how I want it to do it! Only thing I’m changing now is 43 tooth rear pulley, as it’s geared to low for me! It’s has massive torque but runs out of gear so quick, feels like your wasting time shifting, when you should just be going! But I have turned the power up and Maid the bike 30lbs lighter! I have a short header and drag pipe, power commander 5 with auto tune, custom ECU flash by Detroit speed, pirreli Diablo Rosso corrso 2’s tires! Shorty adjustable levers! I took off the rear foot pegs and brackets! Changed valve stems to nice 90 degree metal ones! Installed an emergency kill switch for my wrist! Track makes you do that so if you come off they bike doesn’t keep running! It’s isn’t a dead 160mph bullet if I get knocked off 😳 let’s hope we never need that feature! 🥴

[@ChrisJohn_444]

That's a great educational tool. I also use racechrono pro, but how do you get the data to overlay on the video?

[@gobstocking]

One of the best riders in the world vs the 'fast' group 😂😂😂😂😂 made them look silly, bless..... awesome series of videos this

Cause some of them are. A lot of people on trackdays think they're better than they are.

@@JamieW5024 but surely they need a full on bsb bike for advanced group racing. A crappy gixxer won't let them realise their awesome potential 😅

Great vid....but I'm intrigued as to why no mention of the differences between the Cup2's and the stock rubber.

[@jaybusa3302]

Its crazy because it sounds like you are going full power out of the corners but i didnt see the bike whellie even once...nice laps 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SylvainGuintoli]

Power is high on the GSX-R1000 but delivery is smooth with VVT system. + the electronics help too 😎

[@Bornie205]

awesome video again Sylvain. The standard bike on top speed and mid corner is super impressive. Assuming the same brakes the suspension allows for much deeper braking it would seem

[@TheKungFuCrocodile]

A reminder to us all mere mortals when we think we are at the limit.....only our own limits :-)

[@neilsmith6461]

I only got overtaken once but it was Sylvain Guintoli honest, it was, on a moto gp bike

[@gamedevsa]

I can't believe how much time he is gaining under braking and corner exit, just in sane.

In pure lap time it would be close with a professional rider onboard, but it’s much safer to ride with it ON. That safety net would also help 99% of riders go faster 👍🏻
