I'm not quite done blowing off steam.

Are you sure you're not exhausted?

I think you should seek therapy, cause you got too much *emissional* baggage

Really works!

Yeah. I'm new to MotoGP and was wondering how this guy who should be fluent in front of the camera is bumbling his words so bad. This helped. Thanks.

@@DerickMasai I feel like he knows he's catering to an international audience, so he's intentionally speaking at a slowed-down pace through a technical monologue.

@@bramtahasoni That may be a possibility actually. I've never seen it done on air but I can't rule it out.

@@DerickMasai This is just how Simon is, he's not a natural speaker and has to think more about what he is discussing, but his knowledge in the sport is impressive and he's a blessing for the sport.

I couldn't agree more, honestly.

He’s the best

I liked Dylan more but he isn't too bad either

Simon made it look like art

I personally can’t listen to him. I hate when people pause after every word they say. Gives me a headache.

lol

Absolutely, so good to see his face.

UNDERRATED COMMENT LMFAO

I question why he was even wearing a mask ?? He's nearly always on his own and mostly outside

@@howhigh186 Probably a rule he has to obey in the paddock.

YPVS effectively changed port timing (similar to variable valve timing in a 4 stroke) nothing to do with EXUP

yes you are correct, even though they are valves in Exhaust they work differently. The 2 stroke versions is nicely explained here.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atF1hdaisKmdgWg.html

Not that many years ago, we had no aids. Who won then? Rossi did... a lot. Vale💌respect!

actually a motogp bike is very easy to use, for one used to normal bike (very light, fast to change direction, instant brake, transmit a lot of sensation to the pilot, ecc). The hard part is to compete and go to the limit. Imho if you are a normal track day rider, you can use a motogp with out any problem, ans stay at 15 seconds from a motogp rider

You might be surprised, I'd imagine they are quite a lot easier to ride than you think. Fagan on 44 teeth rode some BSB bikes recently and he said the 240hp superbike was a hell of a lot easier to ride than the superstock version.

From what I understand the hardest thing to get used to with a MotoGP bike are the tires and the brakes. According to Randy Mamola the way the brakes are on the modern GP bikes is simply in another universe.

PERFECT INDEED! He is truly a legend!

Literally just cut straight to Simon that's what we all here for anyway

I hope that in 2022 I will hear that beasts live on track in Austria or Hungary.

@@marioturkalj3126 Žalim, ali Mađarske nema u sezoni 2022 isto kao i nažalost nema Češke (Brno). Ako uspeš, preporućujem ti San Marino (Misano Adriatico). Super staza za ogled uživo, malena toliko da ako staneš na travi možeš okom pratiti skoro polovinu staze, ravnjak kao brze i spore krivine 👍Gdje su ona vremena, kad smo Tomosom pošli za Grobnik na YU Grand prix... 😥

@@markojazbec4421 Najizglednije je da ću u Austriu.....Ehh.....kada bi Grobnik bio u kalendaru......

Servo Valves are useful if you are a professional rider trying to get that last 0.100 seconds on the track. Not in the road making corner entries braking from far away very comfortably. Plus Servo Valves in road bikes are there to control the noise and emissions also.

It's not the same for roadbikes. On these their purpose is to eliminate noise at a specific moment where the bikes measured for the Euro standards etc. The fool the systems.

The honeycomb grill is a gravel screen, quite literally for stopping big lumps getting into the pipe. The tip over switches don't cut in for a little bit in a crash, and with limited engines in a season, losing one to a piece of gravel wouldn't be ideal.

@@Minibull037 Thanks for that, good explanation, makes sense. But I can't help but wonder what is lost in flow to protect in the event of a ditch.

Yup, as for me. I like ducati's sound, but love yamaha's design.

To stop debris like rocks from the gravel trap to fall in and jam a valve or otherwise cause damage. Looks boss too.

@@mbpm6135 finally the answer haha thanks mate! yeah it looks boss!

Around 20 races per year (21 next year). Two riders per team, right now there are 11 teams if Im not mistaken. There are Moto3 and Moto2 (quite like F2 and F3, but Moto2 and 3 are world championships). Two FPs on friday and another 2 on saturday, followed by quali. Q1 for 12 slowest rider in combined FP time, Q2 for 10 fastest rider+2 fastest rider in Q1 (12 in total). Rossi is the most popular rider imo.

To prevent any gravel

they're actually there to prevent excessive flames from the exhaust when off the throttle

Of course they do, it is drawings and models sent to Akrapovic and they send back the complete part. All those race teams are relatively small organizations, the cost of in-house prototype casting and machining is exponentially more expensive than outsourcing the 10 or 20 parts they need for the year

@@johnteahan2333 Except PokerPariah is absolutely right. None of these GP teams whether small or big organizations matter in these context. The bikes are all essentially manufacturer "factory" prototypes anyway. All the exhausts are in house units, how else would they go through multiple variations to test on their own dynos. And don't even joke about the cost of prototype casting and machining of parts. This is MotoGP not some national championship. The manufacturers are routinely casting their own prototype frames/swingarms/parts/ multiple times a year to get even the last tenth or that extra bit of stability/braking/acceleration advantage. It's just sponsored stickers on bike manufacturer exhausts. No matter which sponsor on Honda RCV, Arrow (LCR) or SC (Repsol), its the same damn exhaust HRC makes. The look and welds always gives it away. Same goes for Yamaha or any other team for that matter.

@@johnteahan2333 with this mentality and critical thinking ability, take a good look in the mirror and see why you’re so low on the corporate ladder.

as someone who worked there....yes they do. Dont be silly. And putting Akrapovic in the same group as "any other exhaust maker" is just wow. Now pls hit me up with the: "that's why you're so low on corporate ladder" for some comedy relief.

@@matejskerjanc7703 Prove it.

@@____________________ok 🤣

Sc project for repsol honda and Arrow for lcr honda

@@edwardjoseph1509 Awesome, thanks!

From what I heard yes, teams which have a different exhaust brand (like Honda with SC-Project) apparently still take the exhaust from Akrapovic, but due to the sponsor, but on a different decal.

And Sakura for Dovi's M1

Because these bikes other than 2 wheels and maybe a certain displacement.. Have literally anything in common with a production bike. As Simon says, Akroprovic literally have to fit these exhaust in the permitted space provided by the manufacturer.. (Why each MotoGP bike is different) On top of this space, if each 4 cylinder engines exhaust is split into 2x 2-into-1 systems... you would then assume each of these will need to have an equal length from exhaust port, to where it merges into each exhaust. then generally to its tip.

They like gravel down the exhaust more than the other brands.

@@joepi5 hahaha Pol Espargaró approves

He is holding a 2 cylinder header, moto3 are single cylinder bikes. Also for moto2 it should have been a triple header. Therefore it must be a MotoGP exhaust. Probably the KTM front cylinder bank exhaust.

Μy 2003 gixxer 1000 has an exhaust valve also.But now i wonder why every aftermarket exhaust doesn't have it and why even when they put only an aftermarket can they dissable the exhaust valve..

It does help with low rev power delivery, and it does help a little with braking, but for streetriding these things aren't anywhere near as important as in racing.

Cause you're not competing in the upper echelon for every advantage possible... and your bike was not designed in that way

totally agree!!

Sayang honda ga masuk vidio😂😂😂

@@Satrianchanel hondas are using SC Project as their exhaust supplier

@Nuh Thohir , betul tu😂🤣🤣
