Wow, I am just a casual street rider and your self-analysis and humility blows me away! This is my first time watching a video of yours and I am more than happy to sub to your channel. Great job!

[@raidkoast]

I'd say It's a rule with all skills. If you ever get to a point where you stop knowing your own mistakes, then progressing is going to be very hard. You always have to know where you are weak so you can improve those things.

[@PabloVaughan]

@@raidkoast Agree 100%! It is very refreshing to see such humility though. I've got 40+ years of riding so far and I am always looking out for ways to improve what meager skills I do have. Riding at these levels is beyond what I can do, but I still enjoy watching videos like these and maybe I'll even pick up something that I can use at my skill level? Even if I don't, it's still fun and educational to watch. Cheers!

[@jamespayne4459]

Excellent video sir. As a former test rider with over 300k miles on the track I felt like I was living vicariously watching your voyage of discovery. The more you ride at the limits, yours or the machines, the more you discover. You begin to experiment with very subtle manipulations of your control points (seat, pegs, bars) body position, sequencing, everything! It's like using 2 fingers to zoom into an image on your phone, something that was just a small action in your cornering technique is blown up in your mind to reveal it in stark detail. You see where it's good, bad and you manipulate it to observe for improvement. I always loved those Zen-like moments when my concentration was so intense that despite actually going faster, it seemed like I actually had more time to think through and execute each transition on the bike. You begin to feel all the subtle ways the motorcycle is communicating to you. I called the effect Time Dilation because that's what it felt like. The only time other than flogging a motorcycle around a racetrack that I've experienced that effect was in a car crash. Weird huh? Anyway, love you videos, you've got a sub. Good luck and keep the shiny side up!

[@davidgraham2673]

James Payne, I don't know the first thing about motorcycle racing, but I do understand your point on time dilation in a car wreck. As I was sliding into a vehicle that crossed in front of me, I experienced it. I remember several complete thoughts as time slowed way down. First one was; I'm probably going to be in the hospital for a long time. Second one was; That's if I survive this, because this car hasn't got much meat on it. Funny thing was when we got about fifteen feet before impact, everything instantly sped up again, and the next thing I knew was full impact, and being dazed from it. Very interesting effect though. Shame it took an accident to experience the phenomena.

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

Thank you for sharing - appreciated!

[@Nathan-du5tn]

Yeah I agree and it's called the Flow State, professional athletes, racers, even Gamers actually experience this and non athletes and athletes alike experience it in extreme situations. I know what you mean when I crashed my bike that 5 seconds felt like 60 seconds and the amount of thinking you do in that small time frame is incredible.

[@awesomed007]

yeah, i had these zen moments in near crashes and crashes. i could observe everything as though time stood still. come to think of it, it makes sense about multiple dimensions and that focus thing when pushing limits unknowingly, just naturally is linked to an intuitive knowing of whats to come.... racing drivers seem to own that sensing moreso than our regular such as me.

[@jimstartup2729]

It's what adrenaline is for... Giving your body a rush of cognitive and energetic ability for emergency reaction.. if you become reasonably cognitively competent, through practice and gaining familiarity with the situations that trigger adrenaline rushes, means adrenaline delivery is expected which makes the situation less frantic and your focus and ability is better for longer as you channel the rush under control. That's magical

Watching this again after a long time. Pushing with your feet makes a remarkable difference! If you also add pressing your outside knee into the tank, it lets you stay looser on the bars and tightens the turn even more. The first time you try it you’ll turn in so well you might almost run off the track on the inside of the turn. Give it a shot!

[@ruikazane5123]

I still remember when I started riding. My mentor, who used to race, when it came to teach me how to ride once told me: "To begin, learn your motorbike because if you do not have enough trust on bike you will have bad time when pressure and limits are chased, and trust is the only thing needed to succeed." "Train yourself not using the brakes too much by taking laps with a constant speed goal. Consistency is key to overall faster time around the circuit." "Be natural on your riding, it shows when you are forcing something to happen." "The track is the opponent, and you have rivals who willingly beat the opponent if you do not do it." "Smooth, not shocking. Great"

Decided it was time for a new hobby and I chose to leave the dirt and come to the asphalt.

[@jplflyer]

That was pretty cool. I'm impressed at the amount of honest introspection you did. I hope it helps you out on the track.

[@PersonaN007Grata]

One thing I learned that helped me a lot is like you said about the foot pegs. I used to sit on the bike but I improved by sitting like a horse jockey with my weight on the rear sets. Such a huge difference.

[@StellarStreak]

What Mr. Naska mentioned about body and butt positioning on the saddle resonated with me the most. I kind of marginally discovered this while street riding. I used to ride with my whole body weight on the seat. But, I realised that loading the bike on the seat might be more comfortable but it's not that great for flicking or changing directions, and besides sitting far back on the seat/saddle puts you at a disadvantage with respect to your reach to the handlebars and ultimately you grab or clutch them more aggressively or tightly resulting in sore wrists and poor throttle, clutch and brake control. The saddle is just another contact point among 5 others with 2 on the handlebars on 2 on the foot pegs. I also realised why racing/performance bikes call it the saddle while street/cruiser bikes call it the seat. Call me out if I am wrong. But, I believe that the nomenclature is derived from horse riding. Now, I'm no expert on horse riding and I've not been to any racing event but what I've seen is that racing horse riders rarely keep their butts on their saddle. They put almost all of their body weight on the stirrups (foot pegs, if you may). Thank you Mr. Naska for educating us and bringing such quality, long form, in depth content that too on youtube for everybody. We could learn so much from your racing knowledge and implement some of it in our everyday/street riding. You are a LEGEND. 🙏

[@MrAlmasy1]

16:30 i think its the angle of his pelvic bone. marc for example always 'pivot' his waist. as if his belly is attached to the tank. so if he leans into a left corner, his waist is facing a little towards the opposite direction, or towards the center of the bike. this position works for him because of his cornering position, almost full body hanging into the corner. 'normal' hanging position means our waist is facing more towards the corner. so it's harder to tuck the toes in, and the ankle goes in instead.

[@ganjabobby]

Great explanation, thanks 👍

[@kent4089]

and also the angles they have in motogp plays a role

[@HardwareG33k]

10:40 is a "mind blown" moment. I have ALWAYS wondered why they do this and couldn't figure it out. Great insight!!!

[@anemos24210]

if you accelerate with the bike slightly leaning,you are using a part of the tyre that has a smaller diameter-as moto tyres dont have the same diameter in all their width as car tyres do for example-and this results in a faster acceleration,as smaller diameter works as lower gearing

[@nounours2627]

There is a formula that links vehicle speed with RPM, gear ratio, final gear ratio, (differential ratio, for cars), and tire circumference (relative to rotating axle). Cars (and side cars) don't lean and have squared tires hence the tire circumference remains constant and so does the RPM. In bikes, you have to lean and got rounded tires, meaning the radius (and circumference) isn't constant so does the RPM while leaning. By staying longer in higher RPM, you can stay longer in the high-power RPM range. The bike is lowered by the shorter tire radius and is then less prone to wheeling. But the simple fact of leaning (tires considaration apart) lowers your center of gravity too! Meaning it also reduces the wheeling.

[@shwackthenoobsac]

@@anemos24210 I was wondering how the lean made rpms increase faster. Luckily I found your comment. Thank you!

[@BlackSun3Tube]

@@nounours2627 And leaning creates a down force (suspension compression) that counters the acceleration up (wheelie) force.

Thanks for this!

[@neilhaughey6869]

Hi Alberto, amazing watching your analysis. I did the same with a racer here in my car whom had previously set many lap records in an almost identical car. Luckily that day I had my AIM datalogger running, he commented that I often braked too hard and thus wasn't carrying enough speed into the corners (just like your own analysis against Folger). I was also trail braking too much and scrubbing speed. The data said the same thing. Fascinating thing though, I often braked later than him but the gains I made from that were much smaller than the lap time lost by not carrying the speed on the entry phase. It's something I never really thought about prior to that but meant that over the previous 3 race seasons there were many times I was throwing away a lot of lap time by not focusing on maximising the entry phase.

[@evilzombies6467]

[@phillipmoore6295]

Excellent video. I'm a casual rider but avid race enthusiast. I remember reading back in the day (90s) Mick Doohan used to stand on the pegs and use them to steer into corners. This allowed him to brake later and take corners faster than the competition. Excellent video.

I noticed he was always a gear up on you, so where you were in 3rd he was in 4th, is that perhaps a factor? I saw you said his gearing was different as well. I like how you analysed your lap versus Folger and other riders to figure out where your mistakes are. Great videos, keep it up!

[@Jose.LQ6]

Yes, having the engine at higher rpm makes the bike nervous, that's why pros take corners at relatively low rpm (higher gear)

[@ilu51vLRS]

When you lean your motorcycle the rpm will go up due to smaller diameter of the wheel. You can keep it in gear but possibly need to change up by mid way. Shifting up early b4 the corner would drop the rpms but then increase once u lean and you won't need to running out of revs b4 you finish the corner also.

[@TheSuperpod]

Amazing analysis and tips. Actually, I already know some of this stuff, but applying it is a whole different ball game. I was riding COTA this past weekend and there was a MotoAmerica pro rider on the track doing testing. Later on I was comparing images of his body position and mine in the same corners and one biggest difference is how much more forward he is sitting on the bike, much closer to the tank and with outer leg rotated out much more. I think this is the same thing you comment on n your video. I will definitely try that in the future.

The amount of detail and nuance that goes into the body positioning of the top level professional motorbike racers is insane. They are doing so much that we can barely see.
