What an amazing day! Love my new leathers, boots & gloves with Skittles. Felt awesome all day, even after the first session. All that dirt training game me so much confidence on the bike. Was awesome having a few of my buddies there including my buddy Mike who's my mechanic who built Skittles. Can't wait to take it back to Apex and see how I do there too...weekly track days will continue!! Going to the 2-day Champ School next week at Streets of Willow Springs! :)

The first bike you passed is a 2016 Ducati 959 Panigale. It has 157hp / 79 lbs torque

Mind blowing how people don't realize on a 300 bike you're still going FAST AF

the best thing about smaller cc bikes is they give you a lot more “fudge factor” on the exits with the throttle so you can really concentrate on everything else being smooth.

Lol..My first track day was at Chuckwalla years ago. Some guy on a 300 in pink leathers was kicking everyone's butt. So cool to see him pass the big bikes.

Ridin' like a boss. Unlike the usual "those that can't do it teach it" you my man made that bike look like it's just an extension of you. Skills over CC's

Love how you always focus on the rider, learning and developing. Such a refreshing reminder that the guy on the $30K bike beside you isn’t necessarily a better rider. Your videos have been a key aspect in keeping me in check from day 1 before even buying a bike. Keep it up.

I love watching this over and over again sometimes because these aren't just people on their first track day . You are in a group where you are to freely pass meaning you are in the upper groups and have to earn your place

Software first, hardware later, always! Thank you for inspiring us to overcome our fears and limitations through practice and better understanding of riding technique. Cheers from a Brazilian fan in Korea.

Awesome job man. Im glad to see that you are having fun. Im sure helping all of us become better riders takes a lot of work and probably isn't so much fun on some occasions.

Exactly, just proves that the size of the bike doesn’t matter all that much. It’s all about the skill of the rider, and their technique. Can’t wait to see more of the BMW you just got! I love that bike. It’s a really similar engine to one of my own bikes. 300cc are so underrated, and I agree ridding smaller size bikes is a great way to truly learn how to be a much more skilled rider.

Great video!! made me love my CBR 250r even more💕it's my first bike and couldn't be happier with it. You should ride what you can handle, no need for arrogance and liter bike show-offs.

6:05 - now that is the type of arrogance I wish to achieve with my bike one day. You absolutely killed it brother.

300cc in America is 125cc in Europe :DD As a european, we can't legally get a liter bike till the age of 24 but there is an exceptin: if you start like me you are allwoed at the age of 15 to ride a 50cc bike, then with 16 to ride a 125cc (which I currently do) and at 18 max. 48 HP. Then with 20 you are allowed to drive every bike out there. We are also obligated to get a medical course before you can get any license (life saving actions) Greetings (btw Ive learned a lot from you vids and

Amazing insight ! I'm not ready yet to do that step down, but I'll keep it in mind. And I'm definitly hot to take dirt course. Thanks for sharing , and inpressive riding !

This man literally proves how to royally screw big ass wheels with a motorbike... The insights to be gained are awesome..

This makes me feel so much better about owning a 500cc I have been getting jelly with all these bikes doing wheelies and going fast. Now that I can tell what a smaller displacement could do. I’m much happier about going to a track without upgrading first.

I've just recently discovered your channel and I'm glad I did. Thanks for your videos, they are entertaining and also help a lot :)

You're an amazing rider and teacher man! Hope I can become as good as you someday. Currently a super noobie rider on a '99 Cbr600. Sometimes wish I started a bit lower in cc's because the learning curve is pretty steep! But I'll keep practicing and trying to improve wherever I can. You're a great inspiration to me, keep up the great work! (P.s. wish i had such beautiful roads and tracks near me, netherlands sucks for windy roads 😅)

Man, I love you. Thanks to your videos, I have saved a buttload of money on buying a new bike. I still have my r3 "beginner" bike, and I just keep practicing and getting better. It's awesome how much room there is for improvement on the 300. To me that's the fun part.

Nice riding! Very true on the small cc bikes. Nothing beats passing a liter bike in the corner. I just built a Ninja 250r this past winter. About 1 month out from its first track day.

Loving that pillion cam, it's awesome to see how you manage your setups into each corner, how you plan ahead.

You answered my question. No tire warmers 👌! Saw alot of Ducatis and maybe an MV Agusta in the mix you were schooling in the corners.

so happy you got something out of the dirt stuff, I haven’t ridden a 2 wheel machine yet that hasn’t taught me something.

50 this year and stlll love my ninja 300

Man, nice riding skills, and those pictures look really dope. I myself am considering moving to another country where they have tracks, just to be able to go to tracks. I would absolutely love doing track days, but over here in Switzerland those are forbidden. Really sucks.

Glad you had fun. Very few people will be able to develop their skills from beginner to advanced on a high cc sports bike, they leave very little room for error. In the late 80s when I first started riding bikes me and a friend bought bikes, he went for a gzp900r and I had a new at the time imported cbr250rr 4 cylinder. Neither of us could ride very good but he was so slow on the big bike I always had to take the lead, he was not confident and more afraid of the excess of power and his lack of ability in controlling it where on the little bike i was full throttle all the while and it was much easier to recover from. A couple of years later and we both spent the summer at race school and he was uncatchable after that and I had to buy a bigger bike to keep up. But it is so obvious to me having been there that so many buy a powerful sports bike but lack the required skills to properly get the most from it and end up slower than they would on a smaller bike. They are also at a higher risk of crashing as the margin of error is so small, especially on modern sports bikes. A smaller bike is always a great place to start but a proper race school cannot be overlooked as you will be able to safely learn how to control any bike and your overall speed and control will improve.

riding a 300 cc also.. passing some ducatis on corners... so much fun! Not thinking in upgrade so soon!

This is why you have moto3, moto2, MotoGP Moto3 maintaining speed is critical and the riders use the skills as they progress, the riders who depend on HP only fall off a lot more in the larger classes. When it’s wet the skills show even more. Also lots of riders in the MotoGP classes dirt bike away from the track to pick up skills and confidence when traction is limited

This is so true. Superb video. Going to do some track days and made the decision on using a RC390 instead of my GSXR1000. Makes so much sense.

Watching this is awesome. It always comes down to the person's ability. Bravo!

It's interesting how early you set up the body position before a bend. You're always either one side or the other, almost never central.

Technique and skill is a factor. Another factor is those liter bikes are more expensive meaning those riders are possibly/probably less likely to ride to the edge of their ability especially in corners where there's the most lean angle and risk, many of those bikes aren't leaned over that far. But yeah a lighter bike through the corner is going to kill it. You inspired me to get a small cc track bike and learn the craft and not take unnecessary risks on the streets - bought a 2014 ninja 300... I've had the Z version of this bike so it's familiar.

Looked like alot of fun. Thanks for sharing

ive learned so much from you man, I wish I could hire you as a private coach!

absolutely smashed it man you looked like a pro nice one

man you got some serious skills bro, one of a kind

Fast Eddie, can you do a video series on track days? Like help us pick out a good track bike, go over techniques for the track, and suggest mods our big inner track bikes? Thanks FE!!

Great video man!!!

looking good in those corners - great counter steering technique - nice job

This is mental, you beat your time from a litre bike with a 300cc?? Love it, the skills of a rider is way more important than the bike

Great idea going with something smaller. I might get a 2-stroke 250cc for track days, gotta get the skillz to pay tha billz

Sunny weather, beautiful race track....That is a perfect day! ✌️

Legendary, take a bow, subscribed !!

I ride my 2018 cbr1000rr on track I gave up the street after my first track day last June. I am by no means fast on my bike on track but I honestly think that I enjoy the track for the fun and the safety aspect. I have too many injuries to risk falling off the bike and needing surgeries again. I would step down to a 600 if I were to take it serious and decide to race. I don’t push very hard I do just enough to have fun.

Impressive and amazing skills 👌👌 Also Reminds of how i use to overtake riders while playing motogp on my computer in my school days😁.

Nice work! Got a track day from my son as a birthday present, but I'm actually a dirt bike rider, I've been riding motocross bikes since I was 10 and now I'm 60 and ride mostly adventure bikes. So those track days do give me stress.

Thank you for posting this! i’ll be taking my cbr250 to Chuckwalla in April and it will be my first time at the track! ☺️🙌🏼 Do you have any books that you recommend to read up on to get ready for the track? I bought your recommended book awhile back for street riding btw and found it super helpful! I believe it’s called total control for street riding techniques. Any recommendations are appreciated! Thank you! 🏍💨

Bad ass. New subscriber here. And current honda cb300r owner. Thank you for the knowledge

Looking great keep up the good work 🏍🏍🏍

THIS WAS SO GREAT YOU FOREVER BE THE BEST TO ME JUST PURE RAW BEAST MODE!!!

Would love to see a video on how/if you tweak your riding for low capacity bikes. For example - if in corner that you can take flat out, do you use a little brake to get the turn set up - or do you just just use the grip, take a smoother line, and run it on a constant throttle?

LOL 🤣 I can't help to think are you farting lol sorry couldn't help to share that 😂 great video I've been seeking to get my first sports bike CBR 600rr been SOMETHING I've been looking at and so far everyone has been giving high awes for the bike. Needed to see this video AWESOME ADVICE on this video as well

Wow great job what a friggen blast !

Love that sound🔥😎

Looking good on the track F.E.!! 😎💪🤙

Great video!

Can I please ask where you bought the storage rack/shelf behind you? It looks ideal for all your gear and I've been looking for something like this to store my gear for a long time. Thank you!

Your spot on with your comments. Well done 👍👍

Taking your advice and going with a smaller bike (KTM 390 Adventure). Are there any street/dirt schools you recommend in the Austin area?

Counter steering is great to see and understand thanks

You look happy, enthusiastic...that's the reason motorcycles are made for: to help us to better enjoy our lives!

Thank you for being different than all the others Vloggers on You Tube by proving to everyone that its the rider and not the size of the bike, the loud pipes, the see-through glass clutch covers and carbon fiber parts that make the difference.

You roasted that track!

Awesome Eddie! Which rider group were you in that day?

Nice ADVICE amor dirt bike course I'll have to check it out

The SV 650 was always a good lightweight track day tool.

You bought the tech air system it looks like? Man best purchase i ever made gear wise. Never had it deploy but boy the peace of mind is better with it for me anyway.

brother wher do u mount your go pro??? on the tank or on your chin?? need a lil help here I am new in these parts

Every day is a school day.........however, lets be fair. There are many factors here that you need to consider, these are a few, and just the way I see it. 1. A very experienced rider pitched against the average Joe who just wants to take his bike for a blast. 2. Someone who has a lot more fear of throwing his $20k sports bike into the gravel than someone on a $5 commuter. 3. The 300 was on sticky tyres, what were the sports bikes on.

I would love more of these videos how you beat bigger Cc bikes

I love my 2016 cbr300r!!!! So much fun to ride

I remember 20+ years ago at track days on my ZXR250 overtaking everyone on bigger bikes. It was only on the main straight I’d lose.

In MOST things, size doesn't matter. The operator and superior skills is what wins! Put a new driver in an F1 car and a skilled driver in a Prius and see who does better at LeMans!! Great video SenSei!!! 👏🙌🤙👌👍🖖✌👋🙂

That looks like FUN!

Amazing and super fun! Big time appreciation for sharing all this great info to a new rider like myself. It encourages me to do everything necessary in order to learn how to have this kind of fun in the future. Thank you!

Look at it this way, the straightaways are there to connect the turns instead of the turns being there to connect the straightaways.

And this is exactly why I bought a sv650 track bike

What exhaust should be installed on cbr 300r

Why is the left handle bar longer than the right one? What is the purpose of that?

Check out the Metzeler Racetec TD Slicks. They warm up super quick and are the first slicks to be developed that do not require tire warmers.

Can you corner like that on a 140 width size tire???

Neat video, i am always thinking of working on something on rides thanks to your videos. I work with hunters dad funny to hear his name. Enjoy.

Just out of curiosity, why the new leather alpinestars suit over the Dainese? The Dainese looked brand new. Is it due to the alpinestars having a better air bag if you choose to buy it?

Thats an awesome day at chuka! More smile per mile~what group are you in lol? it would be so amazing you are passing people in the corner if you are in group A!

Did you use your new tech air set up? How did it hold up to the speeds and how was the battery life? Cant decide between that or something like the Helite Turtle. Thanks. Skittles RIPS!

Awesome!!

some of the best track bikes were the CBR/ZXR/RVF400's .. all about handling and momentum .

Smol bike, fast ride 👊

What is a rear set ? You mentioned that was something you changed?

excellent riding technique, can you tell us which tires and tires sizes are equipped on your CBR300

Sir, can you please do a quick review on your cbr track bike. Thanks

how do they remove so much sand due to winds from the tracks?

Skittles out there crushing it

More videos like this Awesome video

Suzuki SV650 owner, and I always get guys trying to buy my bike so they can hit the track. Now I know why..

Looks like ill be getting a 300 for the track!

How amazing.. EXPERIENCE MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE HUH.. ANS ITS ALWAYS BE 🤘😎👌

Wow, I really like the butt cam vantage point. It's a very clear picture of the body language and position on the bike during the turns. Very informative. This was a very helpful video.

Hi, What did Ari Henning used to do a 1:58, was it the ktm rc390? that's a huge gap. I hope to see more of you riding a 300-400CC bikes and sharing more knowledge about riding those bikes. ^_^ Thanks!
