GARETH IS BACK!

I was sceptical Alex when you said MBike episodes were coming onto the channel. HOLD OUT YA HAND ! I loved the episode! Keep up the amazing work fella

That VFR 400 is such a looker! Those 90ies dual headlight sportbikes are something else.

I’m gutted I missed this trip, it looks amazing but I’m glad you all had a fantastic time and I’m grateful that you’ve shared this amazing content for all of us to enjoy, the cinematography is incredible, well done guys!

I just need to say that, on his own, Rory is an absolutely amazing cinematographer. Some of the shots and pans in this video are beyond belief. Class video again, Alex.

Not really into bikes I am a out and out car guy but any content Alex brings out will be a good viewing. Always makes the day better 😅

ALEX YOU HAVE SMASHED IT WITH THIS VIDEO! Honestly we need more of bike adventures, not many videos on biking KZfaq can compare to this one!

The VFR was a really good choice. I find it more fun to use 100% of a small bike than 30% of a big bike (which is realistically all most people can safely use on the roads).

I love the Isle of Man, went in 2015 with my mk3 Focus. Seeing the amount of respect people have for driving and to those who passed away its an amazing place.

Not one to comment but the production quality was incredible on this. Amazing vid, Alex & Team, was smiling the whole way through!

Went this year on my bike for the first time, its honestly such a captivating place. Theres no words to describe the feeling of the mountain road. Truely, truely special. First time I went over the mountain, I genuinely shed a tear :) I stayed down in Port St Erin, quieter side of the island with some awesome views!

I love the cinematic effort that has been put into this video, it looks great, Alex! Congrats to the team on making it look beautiful!

I am so happy you’ve uploaded this video cheered me up so much. I’ve recently been in accident on my bike, bikes a write off but atleast I’m not some broken feet but I’ll be back on another motorbike as soon as possible.

Alex out here quietly acquiring the 2 most beautiful bikes to exist and I am all for it

As a resident of the IOM nice to see the island get recognition it deserves! Great to see Gareth again and hope you come over again when it's not TT, maybe in a car, because for most of the year we have much more derestricted roads to enjoy

Great episode. Had a bit of a MCM Turbos and Temples feel to it. Nice to see Gareth back on camera too.

Had the pleasure of being part of a team for 2018/19, best experience ever. IOM is stunning. Fantastic filming and editing on video Alex.

Yesss my homeland! Very excited to watch this. We had the funeral of Raul Torras Martinez yesterday - a Spanish rider who sadly died during one of the Supertwin races this year. A huge number of people joined in a lap of the TT course in his honour

Not gonna lie. This is one of the best episodes you've ever made. Well-done chaps. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏👌

Really enjoy seeing Gareth on the channel, great vibes and chemistry!

Getting big mighty car mods vibes with the choice of cinematics and music, not usually a bike person but this was a very enjoyable watch

i love to live vicariously through people who actually know how to handle a big bike like this. im addicted to speed but don't have the experience and skill to do the speeds i want to do, and the speeds that i know those bikes can do, and i'd just off myself. i have limited myself to bikes under 150cc just to keep from turning myself into a long red streak on the highway

I'm an equal opportunity car and bike guy. This was genuinely enjoyable. Great camera work and it gave this American who can't afford to ship his bike to the Aisle of Man for his own experience a good idea of what it's like.

I don't get the car guys who hate bikes. I absolutely love cars and bikes! Both of you got absolutely beautiful rides (I do like Alex's bike more).

Exactly right about becoming a biker! I've always been a petrolhead, a car enthusiast. 10 years ago i passed for my motorcycle license and i never could've had this much fun with just cars. Also it gives me peace of mind, i can now drive the van i need for my job and not hate it because no car could compair to a motorbike anyway.

Had an 04 Blade... Dyno'd at 141hp at the wheel, and 155 after full exhaust, power commander and tune.

I love the recent motorcycle content! Keep 'em coming Alex!!!

Great to see Gareth back and love that Repsol livery. Alex, brilliant choice with that fabulous VFR. Of course they didn’t break down! They’re Hondas!! My ‘98 Pan European still feels fresh out of the box. And my Africa Twin can do a weekend of hard off-road and still take me to work on Monday mornings! More of these bike videos guys. Awesome stuff.

Man I miss riding. Post spinal surgery my doc told me never to get on two wheels again if I enjoy walking. But....watching you guys rip around such an amazing place kept an uncontrollable grin on my face for the entire video 😍 Keep the shiny side up and keep ripping it! 🤙

I've had both these bikes and currently have a 2009 R1 ( great road bike). I still have the VFR400 , its in a sad state ( quite worn out ) but I cannot part with it . I love this bike soooo much and intend to bring it back to life to ride into my old age . Bikes dont have to have big power to give big fun and the VFR is proof of that . Fantastic engine , great handling , stainless exhaust (standard) and really well made plus they are beautiful .

Bumped in to you at the Bungalow (I was the guy with the Elgrand who mumbled something about following you on KZfaq lol) Glad you enjoyed your TT experience, and lived to tell the tale 👌🏻

Currently in the process of getting my bike license and every lesson is such a blast! Been wanting to get my license for a while now and a little while back my dad all of a sudden got his. Plan is to surprise him once i have mine and go on vacations and trips together. This video defenetly got me more and more stoked! Thank you😎💪

Thanks lads for showing how utterly brilliant our island is ….racing or not, it’s got so much to offer, look forward to the next episode……👍🇮🇲💪😜

So glad you and Gareth had a great time on our lovely little island! Thankful that the weather decided to play ball for the whole two-weeks as it really showed off how beautiful this place is (and so all the visitors camping weren’t blown away or rained out!!!). Looking forward to your next video, Alex 😃

That little 400 is the stuff dreams are made of. The fizzy little engine and the sweet as a nut handling, sublime

More bike content please! Amazing views and riding and its great to see Gareth here.

Went this year with my best mates had the greatest time... saw you guys in the paddock wanted to say hi but you were deep in chat with the honda racing lads..... Great episode on the bikes as ever and also great to see you and Gareth and Rory having such a laugh.... making memories....

Also got myself an nc30 (3 years ago now) Absolutely fell in love with it. If the brakes are not feeling great I fitted Hell braided brake lines and ebc sintered brake pads brakes are unbelievable now!

the nc30 has to be one of my favourite bikes. something about 4 pot 400ccs just puts a smile on my face man. same with the zxr400

Great vid and the production is on top level, well done.

It’s not touched upon enough: the sheer quality of these videos is inspiring - what a beautiful video and talented team.

Keep the bike content coming. So good!!! Best episode yet 👍🏻

I have had over a dozen bikes, and the one I most miss is my rvf 400. With new suspension it was the most fun I have had on the road.

I was over there this year and the whole experience is just unmatched. Best Motorsport in the world. The Mountain is awesome too, love that Island.

So excited to see more bike content! Keep them coming Alex and Gareth!

That VFR is just a masterpiece to look at! I want one for my living room 😂

I had a nc30 when I lived in Northolt. If you ring it’s neck it doesn’t hang about! Good to see some bikes on the channel.

Can totally relate, passed my big bike test in May (turning 40 this year, did I hear midlife crisis?) and visiting the TT is about the only thing I have on my bucket list at the moment! Thanks for another great video, can't wait for part 2!

Notification SQUAD!🔥🔥🔥

My favorite video thanks Alex for selecting the VFR beautiful bike.

Just took my lil nc30 out today to Matlock and you're right, amongst all the modern Ducati's, BMW's blah blah blah that were lined up she was grabbing a good amount of attention! As a ride after all these years she still puts a whacking great smile on my face! :)

Yes!!! Love bike content! Been waiting for some from you Alex!

Love, love love NC30. mine had 43k miles on the engine, valves still in spec! love the gear driven cams. just an awesome bike, so much fun

I’m not a biker but I love the NC30 vfr400 I’ve always wanted one. Potentially your best episode for me! ❤

Absolutely great video, definitely got me wanting to sort my bike licence out again and also that trip has been added to my list of things to do looked amazing

This year was my first year. I came all the way from Australia. It’s such an awesome experience that I’ll never ever forget!

I want my old NC30 back now. Thanks Alex. I had it in the same colours too, wicked little bike

1000rr is the bike we want but vfr400 is the bike we all need. I would take that one in a heartbeat. 155kg 60hp is rapid no matter what some liter bike fanatics would say :) Ive ridden an R1, ZX10-R, Hayabusa, BT1100 Bulldog, SV1000s, and my 1991 DT125R and the busa also gets a strong recommendation. It was the first bike I've tested in 2005 (2003 model with powercommander and yoshimura pipe) and DAMN, I was a bit scared at first after riding the DT but it was the easiest to ride bike of the big ones. Very easy to handle at taking off speeds and manouvering in a parking lot for a first timer and throttle response is just perfect. Only drawback is that its decievingly quick to accelerate because its so comfortable 😵‍💫

VFR ❤, I used to have a RVF 400 and absolutely loved it. Was still more fun than the bigger CC bikes I owned after.

I am absolutely obsessed with the vfr400 nc30, you could not have uploaded this at a better time! 😁😁 Amazing vid as always! :)

Amazing video keep up the great work. Always amazing seeing a bike video!

What a fantastic video Alex! Great to see Gareth back on the channel. My dad, George Douglass, raced the tt many years ago and won the 1000cc clubmans in ‘53 on a Vincent hrd black shadow. I’m hoping to get over there next year to experience it first hand. Thanks to you and the rest of the team for such great content.

So much more of this, please! Love from the US. This makes me want to plan a trip around this adventure!

Superb episode - enjoying your channel as its the first I've come across that covers both cars and bikes nicely!

This might be my favorite video you've ever done. Reasonably priced fun bikes for the TT was a genius idea & well done. Thanks

Just got my motorbike license a few weeks ago, at 31.. Rocking around on my old mans ‘94 VFR750, and i’m having an absolute blast. More motorbike-content!

Awesome bike's boys. I had a fzr 400 back in the day. It's great to see Gareth back 👍🏼

As someone who doesnt ride bikes and never will because im getting on a bit, I really enjoyed this episode. What a great place the isle of Man is and great to see Gareth again. The guys a hero

I've had an NC21 and NC30 - I'd take the VFR over the Blade any day, however I would LOVE an RC30 :) Also that back shock issue is common - be careful of the down-shifts and the back wheel bouncing when going hard.

So nicely done Alex- my fave video yet; as a driver and a rider I really enjoy all of your content now. Hats off sir!

Great video again, nice to see Gareth back. Good choice on bikes, got excited seeing the little vfr, had an rvf 400 as 1st bike then weirdly as you have one too I moved onto a Ducati 748…then kids came along 😂 Like Alex I’m not tall and being flat footed at standstill on the RVF was so comfortable, hope you keep the bike was a great handling rev machine

Watching Gareth fly past you up the mountain was something else! The fireblade has always been my favourite bike, what a special video!

I'm glad to see you're back on two wheels. I had a vfr400 many years ago until it was written off. I'm on an 800 now and love it. It is such a social thing with bikes, and I go out just for the sake of it, no plans, no idea where to go, just go. As you said, if you are thinking about it, do it.

Great video as always, love the vfr era of bikes I’ve got the cbr400 nc23 and it’s amazing

did not this kind of content from this channel. but what a good change of pace. loved it

As someone who misses being on the saddle like hell.. The shots of you guys riding just makes me really emotional More motorcycle content please!

Love the bike vids! keep em coming! and i love how gareth avoids looking at the camera as much as possible XD

Great video and great memories from this year's TT overtaking on the 'wrong' side of the round on the mountain was really strange but awesome!

i got into bikes recently myself so this is all well timed for me :) always loved your content. the blade is likely to be my first properly quick bike next year, having riden a 600f for a year now

Love to see follow ups on these bikes, restoring and/or adding your personal touches.

These small 400cc high revving honda are something else for sure! I had a 90' cb1 a few years ago and man. The feeling of hitting 14k , sounding like a race bike at full tilt, but barely toutching the speed limit is realy fun. I miss this little thing.

Got my CBT on the 9th July, can't wait to get on the road. Another great video Alex!

It’s really cool to see you doing bike videos aswell Alex, love the channel!

Love the VFR. I had a NC24 for my first bike 💪🏼

Fantastic video Alex, love how it started off on my favourtie biking road in the Trough of Bowland. Nothing on earth compares to the TT for me, glad you all had a great time.

Loved this, brilliant content and two great bikes, on my bucket list to do!

This was awesome. Love the variety of content. Not a bike guy. Fantastic idea. Very nice to see Gareth join again. Fantastic filming and editing.

Just beautiful, what a wonderful adventure, great filming too thanks !!! Cheers from Australia

Love the production on this video! More of this standard please 😊

Lovvvveee the random bike videos!!! True passionate about everything with an enginge, you can tell :D !

You guys are a great advert for bikes. Loved the NC30 & 'Blade. Classy of Honda to help you out. 😎

My first bike was a baby blade (CBR250RR). I once parked at a cafe very much like this after chasing a 600 up the mountain. I felt a little embarrassed to be parked up among all the big boys, as mine was by far the smallest bike there. An old fella with tats all over and leathers well worn, turns to me and asks what I was riding. I sheepishly point to my little bike, and he pauses for a second while thinking, then says, "Man, I reckon that'd be fun!" And with that, I was inducted into the rider's club. Been riding for 42 years, and I'd probably look like the old fella at the top of the mountain now.

Really enjoyed the episode. Great b-roll and camera shots 👍

Great work guys and editing and loved the variety 👍

This is one of my life-long bucket list activities. Great vid and great bike choices!

Content is coming together nicely! Great stuff!

Alex amazing video and I'm not even a bike fan. Cinematography, soundtrack and production by Rory was bang on. A great video and different to your usual antics but top drawer!

Fantastic episode. Honda Fanboy having had a CBR 600, fireblade 900, and a fireblade 954 (never mind the multiple ninjas). Watching from Vancouver Island BC Canada the TT is a dream holiday.

Wow. Congrats to you Alex and all of your team for making your best video yet. Loved the bike choices and loved the ride over the mountain. Would love to do that one day. Keep up the great work. Cars are good but the bike are fantastic. Hope to see more bike content soon. ❤
