PRO RIDER JOSH HERRIN RACES MULHOLLAND HIGHWAY

[@nickvandervegt]

For anyone wondering, the bike is a Yamaha XSR 900 tuned by Attack Performance.

Nick van der Vegt can we get a list of what was tuned on this bike, what are the extras compared to stock? Thank you

[@quniok]

Would it be possible to film an interview with Mr Stamboli of Attack Performance so that he could walk us through what has been done to the bike and why? I could listen to this guy for hours!

[@Heybrother69]

I’d love to know the mods he had on it

[@511remi]

Why is the video accelerated? Is it my computer?

[@511remi]

Or this lumix got much more FPS than what he normally does

[@pastulio71]

This never gets old. Thanks Josh and Nick!

[@markay_]

this is one of my favourite videos on youtube. josh just looks badass with his leathers on the xsr900...and the sound of that bike is just gnarly!

holy whack, this is so dope! if I was Yamaha I'd buy this video and hire you guys to do more, I'm pretty sure this would boost the XSR sellings a lot

[@postmortemarg]

haha do you really think Yamaha doesnt have guys like him to race their bikes or do commercials?

[@DarwinAllen]

Have you SEEN most bike commercials? Spoiler: they're almost all terrible! This is way better.

[@moomoodeadcow]

Look at his leathers. He literally races for Yamaha.

[@dsrtrcr77]

Alan Wang #36 Yes, he races an R1 in Moto America.

[@perfectox]

I think it actually boosts sales as it is right now. I am just almost on my way to yamaha to buy an XSR900 after I watched this :)

[@Meckiffe1976]

Loved the way he was using the rev limiter as a gentle brake to "settle" the bike before the bend. That's some advanced riding technique. I have the same bike, but I won't be doing that. Brilliant!

[@shaolin224]

Nice to see even a professional making micro adjustments mid corner. Shows how technical the turns most of us ride on

[@PACEYMOTO]

I loved seeing the xsr900 out there, I don't think I'll ever ride mine that well, but it's nice to know It can rip like that. Very good vid!

[@airdoctor1251]

hit the track and get an instructor/befriend pros/retired racers to teach you.

[@demitrisolvinski]

Also that's no stock XSR but agreed your rider skill level is the first thing to modify.

[@dougalmanzar]

Josh i the man!!!!!!! Nick get him on a tuned R3 next! show what a small bike can do with a pro aboard!

[@mcr0741]

This^ please!

[@KingPoC47]

Great idea 💡

[@beanwithbaconmegarocket]

Dude an R3 rips on the Snake. I used to ride mine there every weekend. Would love to see what a pro could do with one instead of my slow ass haha. Better yet, he can use mine since I've changed all the ergos and suspension!

[@dougalmanzar]

I sooo agree! I have one with 14k now ! bought new in 16. my shit is bone stock( except fro Pirelli Diablo Rosso II's and i still can hammer it through curves). gonna do suspension next season and some rear sets . Love the bike. And mind u I have 3 other excellent bikes ( 16 S1000r Bimmer, a 13 Street triple R and a 09 Vstrom 650 for trips and some dirt roading)

[@jwgmail]

yes, except stock, not tuned

[@ANILTV82]

That wheelie showed how much power that thing has !

[@MK-hb3xc]

I'm truly impressed with Josh Herrin staying in the right lane the whole way with only one slight bobble onto the line. I really would love to know his general speed, since it seemed he was very concentrated on good smooth sport road riding rather than road race speed. I'm also guessing they had the road blocked off, considering not a car in sight anywhere. Either way, he may be riding beyond my skill level, but I also think he was riding within his skills to deal with traffic had there actually been any. It seemed he clearly had line of sight and margin to allow for issues. There was a lot more there to perceive than just a fast rider on a winding road.

[@Nalopotato]

Just remember, fellow FZ/MT/XSR owners: Dudeman has probably $4,000 in suspension upgrades on that thing :D Stock suspension is trash

[@markay_]

or just get the mt09sp :)

[@ItzCashew]

Xsr 900 suspension is leaps beyond the stock fz09. The new mt 09 is sorted more like the xsr

[@premix3663]

@@ItzCashew did they upgrade the forks or rear at all in the 2020 or 2021 xsr900 even?

[@yamalife3658]

The stock suspension felt soft to me

[@katyg3873]

Love how he barely gets his knee down but is just so smooth. Shows that all these wannabe Marquez’s trying to get their elbows down hanging off have NO idea.

[@frankgutschank4183]

Fantastic Sound. Good Ride.

[@mototechsam3051]

Nice ride I'm also starting to check into ohlins suspension for my xsr900

[@tharanmansell5154]

That bike sounds awesome!!!! The footage is amazing!! Better then any motorcycle commercial I've ever seen and I'm a geezer!!! Deep sump seat to fit Josh's nuttz???

[@endasthenrik516]

Really enjoyed this vid Nick! More of these kinds, please! And it would have been interesting with a longer chat in the end, talking more about the bike and what adjustments he needs to do to be able to ride like that compared to a race bike.

[@meanmachine9823]

Awesome Ride! I want to see this guy at Traffic with the other "PRO'S" ...

[@jaysal883]

Now that was a dope vid! Bike sounded super clean

[@quinnfable2694]

Dope vid. Got some good roads out here in the east coast (Hudson valley) but I need to ride The Snake before too long

[@iklobyiridemanila1576]

look like a lots of fun nice video great rider stay safe

[@Fatsoenlijk]

Awesome job Nick, really enjoyed this video! Keep it up!

[@KingCast65]

Great great video. A tad too much bass on the intro but mostly you could bump up the volume when the discussion came up. Great stuff guys thanks.

[@ibanezmnm]

Fantastic job,fantastic rider.... 😍

[@akinmoto]

This turned our awesome mate! Great work. That bike sounds so good!

[@kaaa8949]

Smooth, fast, jeleous of skill.... Nice xsr

[@t3chy0]

Sick ride Josh

[@zoomjoo]

i know a guy who rides my local roads like this. goes multiple times a week. their riding styles are similar. he rips on his sv650.. faster than anyone out there.

[@chig9357]

oh josh knows how to ride that bike, respect

[@zardportugal]

Brutal footage, Nick. Congrats.

[@fixeduzx73]

Everything about this is fuego! 🔥

[@emerikcalmels3971]

At 5:17 we can see in slowmotion how bad is the rear shock. The rear wheel is bouncing. Same thing on the XSR700

[@oifvet1967]

Nick...bring Josh down to Palomar Mtn. He'd love it.

[@amarured]

Awesome shots! Nice bike! But I wonder what would have been going down on a triumph street triple rs??

[@fabioangius2665]

Please get a list about the extra part. Pleaseee?

[@nanibahra5487]

Great video. Just a small comment: I love the riding vids but for me it would be great if you talked a little bit more about the bikes that you ride as well ie specs, ride test, etc. Can’t fault the tearing up of tyres. Thanks

[@dukedalington]

Bike sounds great!

[@saltyprocrastinator]

Him and Toni Elias need to duke it out on the snake!

[@peoplesambassadordm8279]

Under high speed this xsr900 gives a feeling of instability almost like it needs a steering damper installed.. at least the one I rode...

[@byredyre]

That sound...

[@SpectacularRiders848]

very special video on this weekend 😀

[@RDG1K]

Good guy ✊ nice sound exhaust 😍 , good Edition congratulations✌️

[@RoughRiderv4]

Great quality content as always !

[@Zerobullshit.garage]

Amazing !!!! Love it. !!!!

[@rdr-73-3]

Nice footage..., zoals altijd 👍🏻

[@Ranic_nl]

Great footage and editing bro😎👌 keep it up❤

[@adamstratford6740]

Fantastic content Nick 👏 bike sounds awesome 👌 question though? What's happened to you and Adey i was looking forward to loads of new content with you guys especially now he has a V4 Panigale

[@bk-wr3px]

nice👍🏼 the quality editing jus superb more twisties video too 😁

[@monarka12]

That bike ❤️

[@SMU_3L]

Loved this. I love the grading too, dont know why, but it just works in my head. Sounds good off the limiter :P I love my Triple

[@mhopkins491]

What exhaust is on there

[@jsallerson]

Josh Herrin is mad cool!

[@gonzodergrosse6582]

Wonderful! 👍🏿

[@TheMrawesome11]

Awesome job! Do you guys have anything planned with the R6?

[@REM44MAG]

Not a huge fan of the bike, but Josh Herrin is the man. Very cool video.

[@ROLIPOP.]

so cool. thx.

[@RowdyMornings]

Love your channel and this xsr900. Was wondering how this bike would be on a ride for 2-4 hours. I’m in the market for a naked motorbike.

[@muhammadhazarul]

It all depends on your usage, if you're gonna use it in the city and ripping it in the twisties, i would suggest mt09 or triumph 765rs, perfect balance because of the triple has the torque of a twin and the sound of 4 inline

[@chrislovett8656]

I’d love to see him ride Deals Gap on that bike

[@talhakamis9787]

A Bikeporn should be sick as fuck also some editing with more camera perspectives maybe gopros all around the bike to see more from the riding perspective

[@andyjacobs1436]

What is the height difference between you and Josh? Being the first video I have seen you appear to be 6' 2"ish, and how does that difference affect your geometry? I'm a hobby rider both dirt and street, and in the street I topped out at 137mph on a 1990 GS 700 Suzuki so I have a lot of admiration for you guys, and pushing the limits that you do.

[@DJLimez]

Interested that he said he preferred this bike to an r1 on the snake, didn't seem held back at all

[@arist8989]

rear tire and mags size please and what type of tire brand u used on this video

[@penc5use3]

Super Cool!

[@pmh7917]

Is he running the stock Bridgestone Battlax?

[@motonista]

Love it♥️

[@joshnn97]

Maxwrist is no where near Herrin

[@rickyboy199554]

Why would you even compare the 2? Lol

[@devious1512]

wrist has a hard time keeping lane

[@super71x]

Nice Nick keep up 👍

[@flobou2707]

Awesome!!!!!

[@jamescline1098]

is that modded suspension or stock?

[@joshrandal6982]

Show all the turns next time. I would like to see how a pro handles the very tight small off camber turns and the near two hairpins at the bottom

[@TheSamproctor]

This is beyond siiiick :)

[@ducatoni4160]

Nice Sound! ^^

[@Rohittheblackvizer]

Hey Nick, whats wrong at the end of the vlog, starts to look at bit broken or the characters get kinda pixelating. Rest as always the video is dope, the Yamaha is crazy.

[@bxl1121]

Jesus christ this is beautiful

[@mauricemedina2822]

What was he riding XSR ?

[@dawgdaze420]

Come out East and do the Dragon

[@zdravost]

I am curious how many passes he had to make before these runs to get a feel for the turns, lines and their combinations. Could you clue us in?

[@Skyerzen]

I know! I've been up and down that road several times. I usually do 5 laps every time I visit, and I've visited maybe a dozen times give or take? I'm NOWHERE at his speed, but I am lightyears better than what I used to be in the beginning. It took a lot of practice to memorize the turns enough to get any speed.

[@undercover3004]

nice video as usual.

[@lezgedidonn5049]

what exhaust is installed on that thing?

[@luthfinovega5506]

HELL YEAH🔥🔥🔥

[@fernandopascualsedeno6191]

The best rider...very gud

[@liljamesjames1884]

I challenge you to ride suck creek mtn in Chattanooga tn.

[@fernandopascualsedeno6191]

What tires dou you have?

[@DarwinAllen]

Great footage. I'm amazed you caught all that on a GH4. What adapter are you using for those Canon lenses? Keep it coming! Oh, and your website is down. Fix it so I can get me a poster! :)

[@nickvandervegt]

Hey Darwin! Thanks for the compliments. I'm using a Metabones Speedbooster to mount canon lenses on my GH4. By the way, the website is back up and running, sorry about that :)

[@DarwinAllen]

Awesome, thanks for the info. I recently swapped to a M43 system for portability and have some great Canon lenses lying around from my clunky DSLR collecting dust. I was looking at those Metabones adapters. Looks like they work great - I'll have to grab one!

[@akashkushsen]

Great great great

[@megadave9941]

Josh's lines are robotic ! He's like a cnc program for the snake !

[@bravethewildgaming8139]

How bout some vintage bikes being ripped through those twisties? 👍👍 with this dude gun in the throttle and dropping knees

[@timkeenan366]

Turn the abs off so he can slide it around. You can just pull the fuse.

[@mech5]

I was an old salty fucker after the Daytona incident. Admittedly I was wrong, Heron is the real deal, he deserves a factory ride.

[@xZENxSAMURAIx]

Fuckin rips on the that XSR!

[@gibememoni]

naked bikes handle so damn good

[@suezaaracing249]

Good.

[@dombek95]

Are block road for this footage?

[@DR-br5gb]

dombek95 Are English spoke for this comment?

[@DarwinAllen]

English clearly isn't his first language you ignorant twat. Spoiler: Not everyone in the world speaks English. Typical dumb American comment.

[@DR-br5gb]

Darwin Allen This video was filmed in America and uploaded to an American site so fuck off

[@nikobd9984]

But still the world can watch it, so clearly other countries with different languages are viewers....justsaying Mr. D. Ryan

[@DR-br5gb]

Niko BD I never said they couldn't. I dont have a problem with foreigners but dude can fuck off with the "typical American comment" bullshit.

[@princethakuri3242]

Nice

[@ezbg]

thats cool your parents are dutch but people that dont know better are going to assume youre in holland and not usa

[@bostontricolore6958]

Bad Ass!!!!!!

[@beanburnham01]

More street hooligan riding like that. Hypermotards, FZ’s, tuono’s, supermotos etc. I’m too damn tall to fit on super sports

[@streetdreamsstreetbi]

Herrin rips!!!!!

[@russellgoodban7068]

Why does everyone obsess over the snake when there's a ton of much better roads around there?

[@ninor1]

Ride to tail of the dragon

[@tarun-bullrider]

Damn...
