Seen a lot of so called 'experts' giving riding advice, on you tube, at track days etc. This however is like motorcycling gold, how often do you get a guy with this kind of talent givin it, quality, simple to understand. Love it, more please Mr G

[@jicklesjingles8134]

Even other professional riders tell nonsense and don't have a clue about physics etc. Sylvain seems to have the needed intelligence and education to analyse the details and translate them into a comprehensive language.

[@mymate18]

watch 'alberto naska top 25 tips' also a great channel

[@dan_the_drifter321]

@@mymate18 I love Naska's channel he's a really chilled out, honest rider.

[@nickthequick]

@@mymate18 Watched his three excellent videos too. He seems to disagree on the short shifting though. I have chosen to listen to Sylvain on that particular topic.

"Few track days I have done" Damn! he is one humble man!!

[@JG-zu5wc]

He’s a test rider now - most of his life now is track days

[@AGD_27]

I think he means public track days where he is surrounded by amateur riders. The vast majority of his career and time on track he would have been riding with pros.

[@KingPoC47]

He’s ridden in MotoGP aka he’s unbelievably good. Humble man right here.

@Mathias Steven something isn’t right!

[@jasonrose3674]

When Sylvan gives you tips, you listen. Love this guy, he is giving you experience from someone who is top of the game. This doesn't come around very often

[@Statek63]

Not often ? I have never seen anything like that except on very expensive paid courses!

[@cpsmith835]

Rocket man. I know he can ride, but everything I have heard about him is he is a good guy and is well liked in the paddock.

[@andrews9577]

Dude! Yours is becoming my most anticipated show on YT. Please keep them coming. You are truly humble and articulate. I'm getting a GSX-R 1000R (blue) partly because of you. Listen up Suzuki- marketing genius right here!

[@03mdhillug]

Andrew S true I wonder how many GSXR are sold during and after lockdown because of these vids.

[@Therealbrowndad]

Thinking of it getting one, will be joining my gsxs1000

[@Robert-zd5xd]

An interesting and informative video made all the better by Sylvain’s ability to effortlessly move between French and Yorkshire accents 😂 I could listen to him talk all day 👍🏼

[@TomaszSkwarek83]

Oh man that was great, I've been nagging you in the comments to do video like that for some time .. massive thank you !!!! No better way then learning from the best !

[@casefarley5744]

Love this. Very well articulated explanation for things that take minutes to learn but years to master, in three languages(!!), from a true pro. It gets no better.

It's great to learn from an actual world-class rider! Thank you very much.

[@GiacintoMarcellino]

I just want to say Thank you, you are spending your time to give us the best advice and you're so humble in doing it it's hard to believe. You have a new fan and a new sub right here. Thanks a lot man! Keep it coming!

The best track riding tips I found on KZbin! Just great!

[@tonycavanagh9947]

Brilliant. One of the best ‘how to’ videos I’ve seen. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a clear way.

[@jamesbrininger6287]

Thank God, you guys make videos like this! Back when I started riding, nothing was available. Developed a lot of bad habits. No counter steering, target fixation, stabbing the brakes, just to name a few. This not only makes one a faster, but safer rider. Thanks for sharing

[@henry3397]

This is one of the most helpful riding channels I have found, and from a real pro! Your short shift throttle tip is genius, I have had trouble with that and I know your technique will certainly help me improve

[@ThaKillaInstinctHD]

This has to be one of the best motorcycling channels already. Keep it up!

[@waynester71]

Been riding 32 years on the road.. but this year (COVID allowing) I am planning to do my first track day.. & I am a little apprehensive. These tips are really helpful... Step 1. Relaaaaax 👍🏼

[@MrJimmyboy90]

"Look where you want to go" - this is so true and such an advantage because not only going to make you ride in that direction but also for me it takes my view/mind off of looking at how much im leaning my bike into/through the corner... such a pro right here 👌

[@Ernestin182]

Sylvain, your tips are very very useful and I think everyone should listen and learn from them, even the pros. You explain yourself very good and that helps understanding what you are trying to say in every moment. Thank you!

[@bboyjunyor]

Man - you're great at explaining all of these ideas/techniques and sharing tips! great rider and great teacher - that's hard to find! Keep it up! I'm glad to see you again on the screen! I just watched the qatar WSBK race 2 win a few days ago - AMAZING JOB and CONGRATS Again on the Championship!!! Take care!

[@keithd9705]

What a brilliant video Slvain! Its nice to see a true professional racer talking to us meer mortals like we've all booked a track day with him and are just about to go out on track! I wish! Really clear, useful advice Thankyou! Total respect to your riding skills and talent!

Brilliant stuff here. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Love it and looking forward to the next one.

[@rofgar]

Love your explanations, great job making it simple and understandable!

[@ridewarrior9917]

Very precised and articulate explanation in English... by a Frenchman. The best by far compared to the other tutorial out there. This guy has been competing in Motogp, Worldsbk and British superbike... and he knows how to outline the fundamental aspects of riding regardless you are on a prototype, production race bike or even amateur track days. Well done Sylvain... keep up the good videos

[@uncle_nospeed4834]

Great vid Sylvain, we definitely appreciate the content!

[@scottmuirhead2813]

Another great video Sylvain. Love your work mate, very interesting and my wife and I can certainly apply some of those tips at our next track day. Thanks a million, look forward to seeing you back on track, on the best bike on the grid in that beautiful Suzuki Blue. Cheers again.

Direct and to the point with no wasted words. Fantastic! I dont ride on track, but all of my riding is on twisty mountain roads and i have been working really hard to get better. Im going to work on corner exits more and try to get on the gas sooner. Thank you!!

[@physiologymadeeasy216]

As others have said, these really are excellent videos and you really articulate the riding concepts very well. I know a little bit about how much preparation goes into producing such content, so thank you for your time, energy and enthusiasm. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@Bigyin600]

Cracking video and all makes perfect sense ..... Point 1 "look where you want to go and the bike will take you" is one i repeat over and over again to new riders on CBT.....who knew it be the first thing a MotoGP test rider would advise . I am not a track day rider but i can imagine quite a few will be tuning into this channel to learn a lot from your experience .... chapeau :)

[@beer77monster]

Sylvain, Neevesy and Simon Crafar keeping me sane on lockdown. Can’t wait to put all this into practice...

[@6arethevan5]

Absolutely fab info and dead easy to understand, nice clear instructions, thank you 👍

[@Drinkyoghurt]

First time I went on the track there were some guys with track bikes at 150+ hp, racing slicks and quickshifters. They basically rode like the exact opposite of what Sylvain is saying here. Taking the wrong racing lines, letting the bike coast before braking and even then not braking hard. I was riding on my street Hypermotard 1100S (90hp) and was setting times many seconds faster. The only person faster than me was another guy on a Husqvarna 500 and the only time I was overtaken was on the straights because they simply had more power. Sylvain's channel is a goldmine of good advice, most of the stuff I had to find out by myself and it's so valuable to have a pro actually explain all these concepts.

[@madisonvillavert5692]
