Track Day #2: NEW TOP SPEED on the YAMAHA R1!!

Hit up Circuit of the Americas (COTA), the F1 and MotoGP track that is here in Austin, Texas to do the RideSmart track day with my bro Hunter Honda! Getting a lot more comfortable pushing the my Yamaha R1 like it was built to be pushed :) Also hit a new personal top speed on the bike! And that's GPS calibrated speed, not indicated speed :D

lol I don't know if you'll read this, but I was the guy who went down on your video.

[@bobbybobberson1559]

Juan 1809 sorry to hear that!! hope you didn't get hurt!!! wishing you a good recovery if u did!! ride safe and have fun!!

[@ScrewNickk]

2 years ago.. just watching this now but hope you were ok my dude!!!

[@dude1234522]

You still riding?

[@williebell5703]

Hey man you alright ?

[@totowolf9716]

This has got to be the world slowest track day

[@liquidvideotube]

I thought it was a school and not about speed but about technique

[@nunyabusiness896]

It's just how COTA is. Almost all of the series of corners are decreasing radius, so you end up coasting and lightly decelerating the whole time until you hit a straight. They should've designed it to have the reverse so you were building speed through all of the corners like how it is in most tracks. I drove a Miata and a Ferrari 458 there with similar tires and everywhere but the straights the Miata was just as fast because there's nowhere to really accelerate because there's always a corner coming up that's slower than the last one. As nice of a facility as it is, the actual layout is kind of a buzzkill, only cars and bikes on insanely grippy slicks can really do more than coast a lot of these corners.

[@chenspeed]

@@nunyabusiness896 or they're just super slow? it's a fast flowy track other than 3 corners and you can be on the gas for most of it.

[@nunyabusiness896]

@@chenspeed It is absolutely not a fast flowy track, what bullshit arcade video game did you learn that from? I've driven it in real life twice in a Miata and a Ferrari 458 and have run countless sim laps in all sorts of cars and bikes, if you think you're "on the gas" for most of it, you're driving it in something super slow or playing an inaccurate video game.

[@chenspeed]

@@nunyabusiness896 Does my profile pic give you the impression I play video games? I can't speak for how cars drive on the track, only actual motorcycles, not sims. And the track flows. Having points of hard braking after short straights doesn't make it not flow. But like i said, i can't speak to how cars handle it. But appreciate your assumption I don't know what i'm talking about. I've ridden there twice in IRL as well. And i should have stated more clearly, that on the gas in most of it is how it should be when you're not braking right? I meant they were coasting thru the turns, into the turns and thru many parts of it. I'm not even saying I'm fast, I'm just saying when youre at the track, you're supposed to be either on the gas or on the brakes. That's what we all try to work up to while riding at the track.

[@fishy8888]

At the pace you two are going, you might need to consider some 250's...

[@motonosity]

+Jewfishy or, you know, I can own whatever bike I want to...

[@JeeprzCreepers56]

250's don't reach speeds of 150mph

[@fishy8888]

+JeeprzCreepers56 Yeah, but they can teach you to ride faster in the corners, at the rate they were going, I'm sure a moderately skilled rider on a 250 would be miles ahead. Tracks aren't about straights, they're about the corners. He can ride what he wants, but man he'd learn how to ride much quicker on a 250.

[@tonypate9174]

Good for you "bro" not all about going fast is it

[@tonypate9174]

But can be rode at a track like it's meant to be fast and not just winding it on down the easy bits

[@californiarenegade2616]

Can I get in on this action? ;)

[@quarrena280c7]

my gosh i just thought you motonosity and hunter collab

[@u9Nails]

"Whew! Gettin' tired. It's insane how MotoGP guys do this, for what, 45 [minutes]?" - That's the truth there! It's mentally and physically tiring. Track rides are so much more than you just sitting on a bike and twisting the throttle. Hard to believe if you've never done one, but I love it!

[@BikeNBird]

I was out there for the Slipknot concert! I didn't see you but I caught Hunter Honda on the last session.

[@xtrekrex]

They put the turn points on that track? That's really useful for people that haven't ridden that track before...

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Intense! Gotta be the fastest dual vlog ever recorded lol

[@Green-Mountainboy]

Whats up with everyone riding so slow in the corners and practically coasting into the turns? Was this a beginners session or something?

[@gouldman22]

SVrider yeah there riding level 1

[@ajbrady0317]

[@dyf1257]

Nice one

[@damon2692]

13:49 BEST 'WHEN YOU THINK YOURE FAST'...MOMENT xD

[@chaseontwowheels]

This video makes me miss doing track days...but soon. I think my new in life is to live long enough to outlast the Ducati jokes.

[@motonosity]

+chaseontwowheels I'll do my best to make sure that doesn't happen. The jokes part, not the living part haha. jk... Maybe... Hope to do a track day with you bro!

[@Tiqerboy]

Your Panigale crash is what got me into following your channel and many others, including Motonosity, Walterrific and more. Think of it as taking one for the team. I got the link your Panigale video via Adventure Riders Forum (ADV or advrider)

[@brandonj6548]

Word. Just bought a new mt10 and may head out to cota in November. Looks like a blast and it's only 2 hours away.

[@Tank_Taps]

By far my favorite video of motorcycle riding just because it feels like I'm there. Thanks for this

[@OnboardRacing1]

Sick video, I got 247kmh (153mph) in my video on my yamaha r6 the second time I rode the bike! COTA is such an amazing track! Great video

[@Koinonia_R]

Oh damn, that Panigale mention for C2W. Love it!

[@jimyswerld4705]

you guys are lucky to be able to do a track day there .from what i see and hear it is a amazing track .

[@thumpin250]

Its neat for sure. Couple spots out there are pretty gnarly at a fast pace. Was nice that the track management was very interested to hear what problems the track had.

[@crenshaw7072]

My father reached 165mph on his CBR900RR, pretty sure your R1 can do more than that.

[@TheFakeFatLegitimate]

Course it can, electronically limited to 186

[@ehphotos2669]

he needs a different rear sprocket

[@2cool0]

it should be able to do 200mph. but yeah it's limited to 180 or some shit.

[@ehphotos2669]

+2cool0 do we know if he's novice or intermediate?

[@2cool0]

Real Deal i'm pretty sure it's intermediate. it can't be beginner because they're overtaking other people. you can't do that in the beginner level right? and they can't be any more than intermediate because advanced would be going a lot faster and would be pretty much all sportbikes.

[@theoklahomarider2945]

Next time you do this if you can put your speed up in the corner

[@cm6875]

Yeah maybe lap time and layout of track with. dot of you and maybe other people like Hunter Honda or whoever you ride with in the future

[@partagasblack]

good to see you guys made it out to the track.

[@Linx77Motovlogs]

Looked like so much fun! I hope to do a track day soon myself. Nice riding man!

[@dummy999]

If you wanna get more out of the straightaway, keep on it until closer to the end, then give a hard grab of front brake to slow you down, then ease on the brake to set your corner speed. You get more out of the straightaway, and you can set your corner speed more comfortably that way versus doing a long, dragged out feather on the brakes. :D

[@dummy999]

... Hope you could make sense of that. Lol

[@tonypate9174]

Plan b "B" get a smaller slower bike and learn the basic art of "ride the wheels of it" even down to keeping the clutch and brake levers covered ! A few days on these uncool under powered "slow" bikes do far more than a potter round and wind it on down the long straight bits track days for how to ride a "Gp circuit" on you tube try BRANDS GP MZ 250 RACE 3

[@Jayrage]

keeping the clutch and brake levers covered is stupid af...

[@tonypate9174]

Sounds like a real "BUM FUMBLE" fan mind them Escalators in public place they attack uber kool with a "K" hip er witty dudes

[@ohhfree5952]

Wait... Why wasn't he using the clutch to shift gears?

[@elkotend]

Quickshifter allows clutchless upshifts but you have to use the clutch to shift down.

[@bwheat60]

That R1 pull on the straights though! You destroyed a few guys in full tuck. Quality video too! Very nice.

[@motonosity]

+Chuck Mastin preciate it man! It was a good time

[@BLDH]

dat dual vlog was epic! :D

[@motonosity]

+BLDH thanks bro!

[@motooutlaw8557]

awesome vid man one of the best b-safe out there and as always keep em Rollin!

[@Baconlover5280]

Hahah lmfao!! that chaseontwowheels joke is awesome

[@Sporadic_r1]

why are you going so slow on the track?

[@malin3344]

theSpoRadiiC R1 practice

[@kaiokencruz3711]

I was in Austin August 5th to see a concert at The Track of the Americas! it looked awesome to ride but my gsxr was 300miles away in south texas! I need to move out there!

[@brendanomalley4771]

Shots fired at Chase 😂😂

[@jfrazier30]

This is AWESOME! i can tell y'all had so much fun!

[@thewestsideride]

That day was super fun!! Don't think we crossed paths at all that day on the track but was cool to meet you. I had an indicated 169 on the back straight and still had room but not the balls to hold that braking zone to push faster. That straight is mental!!!!!

[@motonosity]

+West Side Ride Yeah last time I was here I knocked 150. That seemed slow. To me this time haha

[@christopherjohnson5961]

What a beautiful track. Nice carving Motonosity.

[@outfishontario1272]

Nice glad these vids are available for me to watch.. I'm looking forward to track days with a cbr300

[@samiam5697]

That, my friend, was a bad ass video!

[@motonosity]

+Sam Iam thanks bro!

[@jonathan1225]

over in northern ierland we do road raceing and it is unreal the speeds they can do on the roads you should look it up Northwest 200

[@catcall569]

The dual vlog is AWESOME!!!

[@AGNDJGaming]

Do you need a special mount or anything to motovlog during a track day? ..You know how everything has to be safety wired and stuff

[@JustBlowItUp15]

I love track day vlogs. I want to ride when I'm older (only 13) I want an R1 just like yours. Loving the videos!

[@adamsharif4193]

These track day vlogs are the best

[@swan1645]

dual vlogs on the track are so damn cool! love this man!

[@johnevans9421]

What an epic track to ride!!! Thanks for the video. Still love that Toce exhaust.

[@zzrGUY12]

150 on the front and 175 on the back was what I was seeing on my 08 zx10. But that's in level one with Ridesmart. (It had been about 6 years since my last track day). Can't wait to get back to cota.

[@march11stoneytony]

So sick! Such a fast course and so safe too!!

[@NotAMotoVlog]

Thank you for sharing what appears to be an amazing experience

[@DUB6MOTO]

got too give you props. good video! Good pace, great dual vlog guys. sure was a lot of yellows?? lol

[@typhoonsd9720]

LOL, if you look up on google maps Circuit of the Americas. There is a "Plane" on the track inbetween turn 19, and 20. Now that's next concept of racing.

[@Wolf.of.Gotham]

AWESOME! Dual track day vlogging iz Dope!

[@motonosity]

thanks dude!

[@dronehd5131]

So awesome! Can’t wait till I do my first track day 🙌🏻

[@bigchang23]

awesome more track days!!!

[@BorisOnBikes]

Awww man. I wish my local track would allow us to have the GoPro on the helmet. Best I could do was on the tank and run the mic into my helmet. Good to see both you guys on the track tho! 👌🏻

[@v4forlife]

If you're gonna do more trackdays, get rid of that black screen.....nice high clear double bubble...

[@RacingB51]

thats driving school hahah

[@fatalis57]

Felt adrenaline from watching this, im on a 125cc, long time before i'm like that haha great video!

[@jordanduncan2136]

I really love watching track days. I don’t think I’ll ever have the nuts to actually go out and try one though. Looks like a blast.

[@nabilblack]

straight liner hero :D Practice on cornering too. It'll change your idea on riding.

[@ktmnick5727]

seems like a blast

[@Doin_the_Absolute_Most]

11:22 when Hunter says "Slow down so I can catch up to you"😂 He is going slow😂

[@citizenlambda]

That.. was tamer than I expected from the entire group of riders. You should get one of those instructors to help you really stretch that bike's legs on track, you'll be amazed what you can do!

[@StepByStepStudio]

Dumb question, I know it is, but how come he is using his clutch to shift down gears but not when going up? Whatever it is is an amazing idea.

[@marksmanman96]

He just made a video on clutchless shifting. Watch that

[@mct4020]

If you are able to upshift whitouth clutch, and you get good doing it, you will be able to go faster and smoother than upshifting with the clutch, and, if im not wrong, you can downshift without the clutch too but it is much harder =). (sorry if i missed any word, im not very good at english) Greetings from Spain! Have a good day Sir!

[@OneBoysDreamFilm]

Nice work man

[@unoriginalname9556]

3:35 You can thank Formula 1 for that lol.

[@shafiaahmad4061]

Awesome video! I want to do my first track day this summer. Did have to purchase track day insurance? If so, where were you able to get your bike insured from. Thanks.

[@StretchHonda]

That is so cool to see and hear a dual vlog ON the track!!! Sick perspective for sure!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@motonosity]

+Stretch Honda Thanks a lot!

[@CarlosRodriguez-qr3yq]

that was fun to watch bud......i.can only imagine how it feels. that was pretty entertaining. I'm from.san antonio and it was cool to see cota POV style.

[@robr4596]

Those tires have good traction on the sides too...

[@_cpt.crumb_]

I like the dual vlogs with hunter

[@bryanmasis1595]

when you lean into corners you have to counter steer but do you keep counter steering all the way through the turn or just to start the lean and also how do you mange to lean so sharp and then lean on the other side so quickly like on an apex turn

[@gavintrimmer1323]

god i love cota man, i love driving there on the sim.

[@TheBigBorkowski]

The reason no one has ever done a dual vlog on a track is because at race pace the last thing you think about is vloging. I have tried to vlog on track and the video proves my point.

[@motonosity]

+Borkowski Yeah we weren't going too hard. And it was more of us just making exclamations, as you could tell haha

[@TheBigBorkowski]

+Motonosity yeah haha. I wish I could vlog on the track. I'm working on it. but my main problem is my bikes are way to loud on the track. I was yelling into my very sensitive mic last I tried

[@SethKingFilms]

Saw that Panigale that went down when I came to see Hunter at the garage, poor guy! At least only the left side of the fairing was meat up.

[@GingerAttack666]

meat up? Kinky.

[@FatherTex]

+Ginger _ lmao

[@SethKingFilms]

+Ginger _ damn auto correct, messed up!

[@GingerAttack666]

Seth Moto Mailed it

[@theswaff699]

+Ginger _ i must shield you

[@HesAtItAgain]

That looks like way too much fun

[@driendysky]

Very nice camera angle. Was it right at the bottom of the helmet where your chin is?

[@skcubrats100]

Awesome video!!

[@johnnyg8910]

hey i have been loving your videos keep it up!

[@natenealis3901]

Man love the around of hunters bike

[@brutalr1589]

That double apex, and the next corner before the long right sweeper are the toughest for me lol.

[@lifeasaj_989]

Awesome footage guys! Hope it's not the last time you do a dual vlog at the track!!

[@motonosity]

+Life As AJ Moto another one coming soon! And we'll go back for sure :)

[@marcobortoli935]

How come you didn't use the clutch on the straight away but were changing gears??

[@WolfinWolvesClothing713]

it will do 200. it just stops reading at 186 (300kmh) my friend has a gsxr 750 that was racing a corvette and he said it started flashing at 186....then the corvette passed him. lol so yeah it has more I had my 600 at 150 more than once. nice video.

[@DR-hw9js]

man I would Marvel to do a track day with you. that looks like a crazy fun on that course. I'll be at NJMP in two weeks. This weekend is the MotoAmerica Finalé on Thunderbolt.

[@march11stoneytony]

R1 is one of the greatest sounding bikes! If I didnt know better I'd say it was a vtwin

[@adamnorthrop79]

I gotta track day Monday, so excited. I wanna see your tires after that run. Did you get your knee down?

[@motonosity]

+heisenberg check my Instagram! Posted a picture of my rear tire on there. Close to knee down but not quite. Lots of room for improvement :)

[@hubert1142]

great stuff Moto!

[@eikuz]

You should check out garmin edit. You can import a gpx file into it and make a screen overlay showing the speed

[@ProudMurican_PVT-GR137]

Nice vid man. Can you show your tires before and after track next time? :D

[@tripletread4620]

Wow that track is amazing... I'm in love

[@rslcgrad1004]

good job bro looks like you had fun. try to drive through those corners more. i could see your body position improve theough the cideo, but throttle is important. keep having fun!

[@ANORXIC51]

Gotta admit, the dual vlogging during a td was pretty nice! Hope to see you guys down there next year. I was down at COTA from MN in July. :-)

[@williamtrinidad2009]

awesome duel vlog I been wanting to hit the track but the full gear to dam expensive lol

[@youknowwhoiam1314]

your should do more of these with other vloggers. that was entertaining. I'm going to get on my bike now cuz watching that makes me want to ride.

[@alexlin37]

Love the track content, please upload more !!!!!!

[@purplepenguin2969]

Counter steering, steering or both when making those turns

[@brendanflegle3326]

Do you miss this R1 at all. I’m thinking about getting a 2014

[@Blackopsmaster68]

I haven't been to a track day in so long. a lot of fun. even when your not on the track

[@darrenarnold7361]

Looks good when F1 do that track but man does it look better on hay motorbike 💪🏻👍🏻

[@salvadororona5566]

How is he shifting without pressing in the clutch is it a mod like automatic shifter or something?

[@magalie412]

September I am riding at Harris hills raceway, how much is it for the circuit of Americas?

[@doubledragon11988]

I know this vid is old but enjoyed it man. I would love to go do a track day but unfortunately i would have to travel quite a ways. Good old Peoria, IL has nothing but a dirt track speedway. Haha.

[@truthseeker-jwnightmares4351]

Why would you use a blacked out wind screen on track??? Is it a Jedi trick?

[@S9RiDeRs]

2:03 a wild bxd has appeared
