Yamaha R3 Superbike vs "Real Superbikes" [Superbike Build Series Ep.15]

[@JoeGo101]

I bet that zx10r was like, is that an r3 on my ass? LOL

[@linux_38]

Freaken LOVE IT lol

[@JoeGo101]

Lenix 😎🤘

[@gronkgrunk]

The R3 seems to have a great suspension setup. Seeing you carry those blistering corner speeds is awesome! Hats off to Bart & TST guys.

[@jasonsmith9161]

Man you’re riding the piss out of that thing! Clearly better in the corners than the other riders, you carry so much more speed coming in and throughout the turn. Very cool

[@SteezeN]

Jason Smith maybe I’m just a noob but your better off carrying less speed in a 1000 into a corner & stand the bike up as soon as possible to sling shot out the corner. Where in smaller bikes it’s better to carry higher speed into the corner since they can’t just shot out like a 1000 can. I ride both a 600 & a 1000 & I’m sure both can carry the same corner speed but it’s better to come in slow on the 1000 & stand the bike up as quickly as I can

[@dWoogie]

ZX10R Ant: It sounds you are right but still this guy on 300 is faster then guy on 1000. Only cant take him.

[@SteezeN]

Vit Pospisil yeah he would definitely smoke me on my 1000.

[@jasonsmith9161]

ZX10R Ant maybe but this dude is another level rider than the other guys on the track with him that day. Put em all on the same bike and he’ll lap em eventually

[@SteezeN]

Jason Smith you think so the zx10r dude look decent. I would imagine it’s easier to push the smaller bikes to the limit & are more confident inspiring . Not saying he’s not better rider but the guy on the liter bike wasn’t slow . I wouldn’t be surprised if the pilot of the r3 gets better lap times on his r3 than he does when rides a super bike or a 600cc on certain tracks.

[@deathwish8339]

You're killing it in those corners. Great build!

[@atfgarage9459]

It's all about the rider, not the ride. Hell of a good showcase man. Really cool video

[@heheboi6693]

Lol you can't beat 1000cc with 300cc even if it's driven by pro rider

[@classicdufferin8739]

idiot statement

[@PtchersWR]

[@highspeedhiasl]

[@DearSX]

Please put a big R3 Logo on the side of the bike!

[@smithjones1906]

I love the approach to this build. Make modification X, if it doesn't work admit it and try something else that does work. I'm certain the end result will be a fantastic setup.

[@TSTindustries]

Or maybe we will blow up the motor and have to back off a bit. Either way we will report on it.

[@darthravo]

That was blistering, speed thru the corners woah. I'm buying a R3 soon, and if I get to riding even half of what you're doing I'll be celebrating!

[@Witty..UserName]

After 15 years off, you've inspired me to ride again. I used to love spanking liter bikes on my gsxr600. Always wanted an r6 (since before they were even available). An r3 should be more fun. Great run.

[@TSTindustries]

Glad we could make you feel that way and we hope you get back out there! This R3 and the new Ninja 400 are absurd amounts of fun with the right mods and rider knowledge.

[@golddivertycoon8973]

Agreed ! I had the 1998 R1 and absolutely loved it.....that was over 10 years ago.....hot the itch again....went to dealership for perhaps an R6......took a peek at the R3 and quickly went on KZbin & Google to see it.....was impressed and ended up with a 2020 R3 !!! I am very happy.....my budget was 10,000 dollars.....now I have 5K left for the cheapest 2020 Yamaha WaveRunner that cost 7,500 so I am almost there.....to think that I was gonna get R6 for 12,000 dollars hahahha !!!! All in all....not the fastest R3.....but its alot of Fun.....I think I will add that 1,000 dollar package in 2 years when yhe bike becomes boring!

[@Paulog1990]

1. This guy can ride! 2. 9:03 was a close call

[@boy00000000000]

I agree.

[@boy00000000000]

I agree.

[@totobyafrica847]

I agree.

[@kiranm25x]

Also close call at 5:58, that Ducati just cut him off from the racing line.

[@kodylaird9342]

This man can definitely ride very well..... but it looks like that zx10r cant hold a line worth crap....

[@rajatsaha4197]

OMG... A Yamaha R3 beating the 1000cc bikes.. This is a milestone achievement.. I would love to buy a R3 rather than spending huge amount on big bikes. TST you are the real engineers... 👍

[@mohitchoprraa1687]

Wtf!!!!! Did i saw a 300 cc beating all higher category bikes.. awesumm u were just neck to neck.... gr8 work man Hatss off. To u

[@reddyprahlad]

Mohit Choprraa calm down its a track but not straight stretch or highways. Not everybody takes corners like this guy. That doesn't mean an R3 can smack R6 or higher capacity bikes. Plus this is not a competition looking at the body language of other bikers

[@symonlois6156]

Dont tell him to calm down. You calm down. Lol

[@mohitchoprraa1687]

Prahlad Kamsani even i know its a track .but hes modified it for track purpose only...and hes done a tremendous job his knowledge about cam angles, rubber compounds etc hes a knwoledgeble racer.....his driving skills cant say comparing to a pro but yes hes better than me..... oh hell yeah he is ... and he sounds humble tooo....

[@LockieNZ]

Yep, the R3 rider is skilled, but the R3 will be significantly lighter than the Kawasaki. You can definitely see it coming up to the corners and going round. He was comfortably able to go round him on the outside.

[@nid274]

Mohit Choprraa When I saw the thumbnail I thought the bike was fallen.

[@fiandoperdana8385]

I can say that this is totally epic. That's a wonderful engine and setting! Keep up the fantastic work, mate!

[@laurenzolau2666]

Better be fast on a slow bike than slow on a fast bike! Great ride man!

[@omlkpiranha2011]

This R3 it is a REAL superbike for sure, just for all the modifications and improvements that you guys done on it, it's incredible, a real piece of a engineering beauty, i said once and will i will say it again, congratulations guys and please keep posting this kind of material, it is awesome.

[@TSTindustries]

Thank you. We are hoping to do a "Hooligan" project on an MT03 we just bought two weeks ago. Hopefully we can do a show around that build this year.

[@saravanaganesh2113]

wow...amazing..."it's not about what bike he rides it...it's about the rider who rides it"...Once again proved... Nice ride bro

[@steveman1982]

Wow, that difference in corner speed compared to the ZX10R!

[@TSTindustries]

It looks like a vacuum sucking us in.

[@tammyforbes2101]

You don’t want corner speed on a liter bike you wants to turn as fast as possible so you can put the power down unlike 600cc and lower you want to hold on to more speed into and out of a curve and carry the curve longer. Yea with a liter bike you just want to point and shoot as fast as possible so your not waist I g time in corners.

[@jtr549]

@@tammyforbes2101 what

[@kilroywashere9678]

@@jtr549 with big bikes you want to be up on the tire and accelerating as early as possible, with small bikes you need to carry more speed because they don’t accelerate very hard.

[@AuMechanic]

Good job bud. The best tip I got racing smaller bikes (350 2 stroke) was tune, tune and tune again. Simple fact is most don't bother much and if you work on tuning for every track and weather it really pays off, gives you that edge out of corners that keeps you in front on tight tracks.

[@joseverges1955]

Wow. This is what a call a rider. That wasn't about just horse power but track experience along with know your motorcycle and it's limits. And by the way those limits were push. The lean angles were at their max. But with good tires and well weight distribution anything is possible. It just takes a lot of practice. Thanks to this video I no longer see the 300's like a beginner bike. This was awesome.

[@LightGesture]

Damn, son! You're a great rider. Those lines were absolutely gorgeous. I'm in awe you passed that zx10 in that corner. That was dope! I'm actually wanting to get into more practicing and track, and really want to get an R3. I owned a Ninja 650 for my first bike. And recently got an R1. But now I want to learn more and more on a smaller bike.... This inspires me to step down and learn to ride!

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

Having experience dealing with big power also helps you push harder on a smaller bike.

[@neoestrin]

@5:10 I love the way he closed his visor xD

[@Alan-pw7xr]

Anand Sankar lot easier that way

[@ridingwithsam]

Al ALFAro easiest way to do it on an agv. I do all the time on my Agv corsa. Then try it on my shark and it doesn't budge 😂

Good lines Bart! I am interested in seeing how the cams adjustments with more compression. Good riding too .

[@andrewfritchen6827]

I have a Duke 390 I know the struggle. Everyone on a 600 or bigger blows by me on the straits and I have to work my ass off to pass them in the corners. But they can’t out brake a 300 lb bike.

[@winner1338]

I just started doing track day with my Tuono V4. And i've been passed by a R3 many times. Nothing wrong with that, that guy on the R3 has done much more track days, i think he's even doing competition racing. So don't be ashamed about being passed by smaller bikes.

[@TSTindustries]

We agree!

This remember me 10 years ago, I use to take my 92 golf Gti 16v 2.0 134hp but very light and just with the suspension upgraded, and was able to beat the mustangs 5.0 in the corners at willow springs race track, just like you did in the R3 vs the Liter bikes! No matter how many pony’s you have! A good suspension can make the difference!

Those are two vastly different machines. It really depends on what you want to do with your bike. I think that anyone can have fun on the R3 but I may be biased.

[@anirbanghosh5066]

@@TSTindustries you r not biased bro...with half the price of cbr650r, r3 is pure gem....it is giving tough time to superbikes, seen a lot of vdos....gem of an engine, it clocks 200kmph being a 321cc....what else we want as a street rider

Awesome skills Bart!!! I would definitely say this is a Super bike you kept up with some pretty big bikes for sure

[@TSTindustries]

Thanks. You should straighten out Robin Pilcher. He keeps leaving ignorant comments on this video.

[@GiriRam]

The line difference of the smaller bike (R3) and bigger bike is clearly seen. This track is smaller bike friendly with the arcs and turns very friendly towards smaller bikes than bigger bikes. But great ride man. Couple of close calls, if it was a race, I can see the rider being more aggressive on the curves and overtaking the bigger bikes.

[@TSTindustries]

Canepa has the track record there currently at 1:12 and change on a 1100cc SB. I have done 18 flats there on 2015 R1 in SS trim. We were riding a 24 pace...much slower. Anyway, this was not really meant to put down anyone's riding style/abilities...just to illustrate our bike's capabilities and how much fun we have with little bikes. I actually don't consider those moments close calls...I backed off in time to make it safe for both of us. Riding in expert group you have to be able to get close sometimes, especially on a small bike, otherwise you don't get to pass them.

[@GiriRam]

@@TSTindustries I just pointed out the line difference it takes for the bigger bikes and smaller bikes. Heavier bikes with bigger power will require a different line on the turns. Riding a bigger bike on these tracks would be amazing too. It would help you practice better. Wish I had a track like this at my place. This is fun. Look at the turns and the pickups and how amazing it will be to ride with others here.

[@christo_reese]

Great work everyone. I hope to see more improvement on the next episode 👍🏻

Just like the old days having a RS 250cc two stroke on an open track day with a superbike in tow. That is some exciting riding there my friend, you have opened my eyes to what the new 300cc class can do. I would like to point out that an orange t-shirt or meatball shirt, designates a first time track day rider or a newbie. Easily spotted by aggressive left hand corners and loads of hesitation in right hand ones.

[@TSTindustries]

Actually the shirt over the suit designates a rider coach in the organizations we have in Florida. The sessions I was riding in were Advanced. This organization separates riders into Novice, Intermediate, Advanced categories.

Did you do anything for cooling? You guys race in the tropics on your R3 superbikes yeah? Chasing some info on how you keep it cool. I heard 150% of recommended penrite 10 ten would help?

[@TSTindustries]

We had heat issues along the way that is for sure. Switching back and forth between cooling agents didn't work, ultimately water with additive to raise the boiling point along with keeping higher coolant pressure won out. But still we had heat problems and had to make compromises. Finally we got onboard with the Febir extended radiator and then we started managing the heat well. I tried to devise an oil cooling system before that because keeping the oil cool helps extend it's life and also we take a two vector approach to cooling parts, which would be better . The packaging and plumbing of such a system and maintaining proper oil pressure in critical areas proved to be very difficult.

[@TSTindustries]

[@chrismoody1342]

It fun to dog a few liter riders. But in my opinion there many factors to account for what we saw. 1)Who knows how hard the other riders are willing to go. 2)Some tracks are about keeping the momentum up and other tracks are power tracks. Eg let’s see what happens when at Road America or Atlanta. 3)Corp or business money vs weekend warrior. I don’t put a whole lot into this. We’ve all seen 600’s spank a liter bikes before on track days. Nothing new. Some ride hanging it all out there, while others are at 80%. Campaign the R3 in the upper classes and get back to me.

Nice!! What effect does the 2.75 front rim have on tires made for 3.00? All tires I see are for recomended 3.00. Really looking hard at buying an R3 especially seeing you developing it and knowing that serious suspension can be had. RC 390 has 3.00 front rim. Pinching tires has given poor results for me in the past
