This video explains a lot about top motorcycle racing. The combination of the skill to ride at the limits plus memorize such a long and complex course is of course very rare. That is why, to me, the Isle of Man was taken off the GP circuit but remains as an incredibly difficult race to win. The very talented riders of GP could not deal with such a long and complex course. This is not to denigrate them, but only to say that this is a very different world. Let's keep this tradition going. There is nothing else like it in the world.

Brilliant stuff faster than a helicopter fair play to ye john

[@DonGH297]

Couldn't have said it any better mate

[@Horriblebastad]

Awesome

[@renovatiovr]

Your comparison is nonsensical. The only thing that sets Isle of Man TT apart is that it is deadly. And it has nothing to do with speed, but with how unforgiving the "track" is in terms of terrain, mainly because it is not a track at all. You can fall off a bike going at 20mph, hit your head into one of those stone street walls and die instantly, while in motogp you can fall at 180mph, and slide on your back into an evenly layered grass, stand up and walk away. Professional racing tracks are no less complex and require no less intelligence. On the contrary, those things aside they are also extremely physically demanding, requiring maximum attention as the race is twice as long than Islw of Man (40miles vs 80)

[@tomgavelda6978]

Absolutely would have to ride the course many times to remember every key moment to choose the apex and the max speed. I've been on 2 wheels since 8. I'm 51 and ride FZ6R + FZ09. Well if your familiar the 900 3cylinder has tremendous torque and I ride a little sporty but Damn - you need good vision and such control and and calm courage to even think of that consistentl pace.

[@LangoUsDavidLango]

@@hasaanali4035 at least race car drivers aren't living their lives glued to videos or games. But to compare race car drivers to THIS? Apples and oranges I say! After discovering the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy way back when, all other sports became lame. Like watching special Olympics. Nothing. Can. Compare!

[@barrybigballs6339]

Hasaan Ali i think people forget just how fast a F1 car actually is, it's about a 1/3 faster around a bend than any super bike and with similar acceleration. There's some footage of Guy Martin & David Coulthard racing each other, Guy does 2 laps and David does 3 laps and wins by some way. That not to say the TT is lame in any way, millimetres, milliseconds from death you've got to hold your nerve.

[@gerardguitarist]

How on Earth does his heart handle the constant wobbling and the front end coming up at over 150mph? Sixth gear corners wide open? Give me a break. And this isn't some pusher. It's John McGuiness, the greatest TT rider ever. As a super bike rider I just can't wrap my head around it. Every lap at least 20 death corners. Talk about an addiction to adrenaline... Lord have Mercy...

This is way beyond the MotoGP where you could easily memorize a 12 turn course. This is his genius.

[@AlexandreSantini]

It's plain stupid to compare motogp and this.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Leave us not forget that from roughly 1907 thru 1976. The road race the Isle of Manx Tourist Trophy was included in Moto GP. ------- " The 1976 Isle of Man TT was the fifth round of the 1976 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place between 7 June and 12 June 1976 at the Snaefell Mountain Course. 1976 marked the end of an era as it would be the last time the Isle of Man TT would appear on the Grand Prix calendar.[1] Once the most prestigious race of the year, the event had been increasingly boycotted by the top riders, and finally succumbed to pressure for increased safety in racing events.[1] The Grand Prix was moved to England in 1977 with the British Grand Prix being held at the Silverstone Circuit.

5:07 Excellent demonstration of the insane reaction time of these guys.

[@aydinvideo]

Long live the master! One of my biggest inspirations is John and his amazing record. Here's to many more senior TT wins!

[@ATLPOWERED]

@aydinvideo, here's a free reality check for you and your so called master. Joey Dunlop is the True Master of the TT. Joey Dunlop beat john m. and david j. when he was an old man. So becareful with your punchlines, because you'll get called out on all this master talk crap. John may have inspired you, fine. But the King who holds the record is Joey Dunlop.

[@aydinvideo]

+ATLPOWERED McPint is the current master on modern era machines- and all time fastest lap record holder at 132.701mph. Joey died 15+ years ago, and therefore was never able to compete at today's level with the new generation of bikes. This year John also has the opportunity to break Joey's record holding (26) number of wins- but my comment still stands. John McGuinness is the FASTEST man ever to ride the mountain course- a true legend, and master of the TT.

[@theant9821]

+ATLPOWERED joey was the master, but sadly is no longer. besides he beat John while being old yes but John didn't have anything like the experience he does now. anyway, it's all ifs and buts. comparing two riders from different eras is futile, would Fangio beat Hamilton in a new Mercedes gran prix car, no way but he'd thrash him in a 50s merc. it's a different skill set.

[@roblaa3198]

+aydinvideo I have to say joey stopped winning on the big bikes a long time before he died.were as John is still doing the business. not taking anything away from joey I'm a massive fan and seen him race on the island in 89 on my first visit

[@Andrew-Kerr]

+rob sim "I have to say joey stopped winning on the big bikes a long time before he died." Have you forgotten his win in the 2000 Superbike race on the SP2 just a few weeks before his fatal crash in Estonia. Perhaps the competition wasn't as ferocious as it is now, but Joey did set his own personal best lap of over 123mph during that race.

[@andrewipp426]

I rode motorcycles for many years, watching this i break out into a sweat.... I cannot even fathom running at 10/10’s for one 37.5 mile lap, multiple times remembering such an intricate street course with the surface changes, tree cover, the painted lines (running in the rain no less) it takes a infinite amount of concentration, fearlessness and balls of steel. Just seeing the lean angles these guys through turns....talk about commitment and absolute confidence. I can’t imagine how they ride on a normal day when they’re not racing? Outstanding skill!

[@ryanfish3254]

if TT racers had as many fans and support as football teams/players do, they would be roughly on the same wage (same applies to motoGP racers etc)

[@davidmiatke6758]

I'm afraid not there is next to no prize money, and they are mostly small private teams, some of the top riders might get paid, but nothing like a football player. they do it for the love of the sport!!!

[@mickeypopa]

And professional video game players get anywhere from $100000 (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) to $1.8 million (Dota 2) for winning biggest tournament of the year (that's per player, 5 players in a team), plus a lot of money for other tournaments throughout the year. The total prize pool for 2016 International (biggest Dota 2 tournament of the year) was over $20 million! It's like "Unknown Name" said, it's all about the fans and how much the sport is supported financially. Small fan base - small prize pools. IOM TT is something only a true motorbike fan loves and they are a very small minority compared to general population, as I'm sure you'll agree. Yes, it makes no sense compared to how much these guys risk but that's the world we live in, it's all about the supply vs demand.

[@mickeypopa]

Also, IOM TT is something very extreme on the sports spectrum. That means very small number of people can really connect to it and an even smaller number can actually ride it. And in order to have a large fan base and be popular, you need to be widely accessible. Not to mention the fact that, if you're not British, chances are you probably haven't even heard of TT or had the chance or money to ever go to one of the events. People are more likely to connect to something they can enjoy themselves, personally. Every other sport - football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, etc. that's something all of us can play and enjoy and acquire greater appreciation for what professional players can do. And therein lies the catch - how many people do you know that ride a motorbike? Very small number compared to those driving a car, right? And how many of those like to ride fast, how many like extreme speeds? Even smaller number, I'd guess. So it all comes down to that - numbers. All that makes IOM TT a very niche event, something for the aficionados. And when the bikers are already in the minority, it makes it even more special and in turn, less likely to be getting a lot of attention and be viable from financial standpoint if you're a potential sponsor and looking to invest money.

It’s not wheel slip you hear. The tyre has a smaller circumference on the edge to what it has in the middle. As the bike leans over the bike is travelling at the same speed but the wheel is having to turn faster to match the forward momentum so the revs will rise but the speed remains the same.

I think if you put Marc Marquez in the TT he would still find a way to be the fastest after he memorizes the course

As fast as this looks on screen, until you've been and seen, you'll never appreciate just how mind - meltingly fast the TT is. It's actually shocking, but in a good way. 🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲

[@sydbarret8416]

Wonderful example of the skill of a TT rider, one of the all time greats, no arguments. The change of track conditions due to the weather, previous or current. The constant awareness for the potential of having another rider in front of you that could have a massive impact on your flat out lap . Racing in dappled light, going into high speed corners blind at speeds that really shouldn't be achieved. Never stop with this wonderful race. The true Champions of pure road motorcycle racing . I salute you one and all, regardless of any podium finish......

In a later interview about this run, he indicated it was an 8/10s effort... "no place is worth 10/10s, it's just a riding experience"...

Fast, riding on EDGE, tt race best of the world :)

[@urmo345]

Definitely on edge. taking every inch of the track possible

[@johnbrutales2472]

Respect John riding so fast with his big ballz 😉🙏🥇

[@Speedytrip]

Literally no place on that road where you can say: "meh, he could have taken that portion faster". These guys are insane.

[@sonicrising6614]

I've watched so many of these TT videos and I still can't wrap my head around how these guys do this.

[@Luke-Harno3]

Mega !!! :O John... is slill the Namber One !

[@codyg2600]

So many “what ifs” man, but one thing that will never be questioned is the respect all TT participants have rightfully earned by their opponents and all viewers of the sport. By far the most insane thing I have ever witnessed in my life.

[@vdel9036]

I was watching this video and there were some waves in my cup of coffee...

[@Benz13UK]

So much respect for Mr McGuinness and his fellow rider mates! Just incredible!!! A froggy from south of France. I'll be there one day!

This footage makes me appreciate the Isle of Man TT race game even more! Now I want to go and try to beat his time.

[@DanSmithBK]

Good luck with that ;-)

[@matthewhackett1710]

Somehow, this is one of the safest motorsport events. So many riders do this race each year, at approaching this speed, for many laps of practice and race in several events, and yet only one or two fatalities occur each year. Kudos.

[@ploneuk]

I want a cup or medal! I can hold my breath for 17 minutes without blinking.

[@DVSONENL]

I'm an amateur clubracer myself. I'm not that fast but I understand how the MotoGP or WSBK or other fast riders can go really fast on the same track I ride at a lower speed (laptimes). But I can't get my head around how much courage, trust in your bike, bike control and skills or track knowledge you must have to go flat out on The Isle of Man. Blind corners, jumps, really really bumpy roads. Just how?

[@thefenns8083]

They know the road that’s it

[@andrewashmore8000]

Trust the bike, and let her at it believe in what she can do.

Riding there is my dream, i will do everything to live it.

[@lilgdduckman]

Reminds me of a video game I played years ago. Huge difference is if he crashes, he can't simply put another quarter in and start over. I give it to the man. That's huge steel balls and loads of talent as a rider.

McGuiness ,Martin The Dunlop's All super fast ,balls to the wall racers I get lil beads of sweat across my forehead when I watch these guys just become fluid on 2 wheels .I can't explain it but my respect to any guy or girl who can run this track at insane speeds ,and maintain these speeds sliding into corners at over 100 mph ,2 strokes ,elbow dragging maniacs that I respect so much Guy martin is involved in a spitfire planes Dug out the sand of Dunkirk .That man loves to go fast IN ANYTHING same goes for the rest of the guys Nothing but respect from motor bike racer (no where near the caliber of these true pros ) But I try and have fun ,and yes I move for the faster Guys .I just love motorcycle racing

no matter how many videos and laps of this i see, it's so freakin nuts. even the bike is shaking its head all around the course

Same here. The first time I watched one of these videos I wondered by how much it had been sped up, because surely to god that can't be real?! My jaw dropped when I realised it was in real time. Simply incredible.

You watch things sometimes and it gives you the urge to go out and do it, like motorbikes for example. This however makes me not want to ride and simply say I’ll leave it to the experts. Absolute respect the most skilled and fearless in motorsport.
