Awesome comment, 100% agree.

🤓

For real. I see way too many knuckleheads on here doing 180 on public roads and it bugs me so much.

Y not both?

@@cxns155 seriously? Do you like campaign groups with videos that go viral? Do you want a GPS speed box fitted to all motorcycles "because motorcyclists, just look at my videos"? Be reasonable and sensible. If the road is in a town, if there are houses, kids, people, nearby, what are you gonna do? If it's empty road, clear, no one around, then that's very different.

Decades of being a coach (olympic target shooting, mostly 10m air pistol, some rifle) and I've found the OPPOSITE to be true. Those with natural talent don't often put in the work needed to be Really good. So, while they're on top of their peers at the start, the kids who started off worse but put in the training effort would surpass them in short order and the natural talent would then get frustrated and give up. While I agree that natural instinct helps, it really only comes into play at Very beginning and elite levels, and not All of the time at the elite level. But that's just my personal experience in a field I know intimately. As for riding, I'm "turn 13" (local track was 12 turns back when I was scratching the speed itch... lol, just call me the rolling chicane).

@@ShootingAir Tyson at 16 "I don't beliee in talent. I mean, it's good for those who have it, but it's about getting up in the moring running when the weather sucks aso" (something like that.) As someone who was good at "everything" I tryed, I will agree - talent can easily ruin diciplin, bcz you rarely get to train it, to keep up with or win over "the average Joe", who is the only people you meet, until you get into a better competition..

@@CONEHEADDK - 'As someone who was good at "everything" ......' YOUR ENGLISH IS SHIT!

Well said Norton!

@@ShootingAir exactly man, i was not the most takented of my peers ,but i really gave 110 percent of work ,focus and resilience and after some years i was miles ahead of them! Felt sooooo damm nice!!!

He has got to have more than 1.5 years and 3 track days to be riding a v4. Just ain’t no way

@@fatherfigure6056 Why is that? Maybe the guy's just natural.

@@fatherfigure6056 not hard to ride fast on a powerful bike. just open up the throttle. its hard to do it controlled, safe and consistent

@@fatherfigure6056 are you thinking he's very good on a bicycle etc? Maybe roda dirt bikes as a kid? We don't get told his age, how long he's riding bicycles, his ability in a car etc.

@@fatherfigure6056 bro has full leathers and a Ducati + racing school after only 1.5 years. I’m sure he is very well off financially so he isn’t scared of destroying his bike

Indeed, it was crazy how fast he was making progress. Towards the end I was struggling to keep up because he was getting really good on the brakes and I could barely close the gap.

@@CubanRider Mad Respect for BOTH of ya. He simply outclassed ya or had more ponies between his legs. I certainly was impressed. And I woulda went straight over and shook his hand after that run. maybe get to know the guy a bit. That was simply a display of SKILLZ.

First you make sure everyone knows how good you are, and then proceed to push him down just to raise him up again.. Skip the part where you glorify yourself, provide with the things you see he could learn (from watching the video) and end with a sum up. Otherwise you'll just seem to be rambling. Read your comment and see if you can spot it.

@@nesta8273 covering myself in glory? The purpose was to establish my experience. There’s no criticism or knocking anyone down here. It’s a few words of caution and encouragement, along with a bit about the person sharing them.

Honestly man, folks like you dis ing new talent just do not understand that most folks that have "THE GIFT" just do not so much care for your "finer points" details. They wanna pit their skills against some of the Best. And honestly dude how many "Racers" do you know that have never crashed ? The answer is ZERO. We know and assume the risk. Thanks for the tip grandpa, now get outta MY WAY.😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Lots of people are fast right up until they crash. I never crashed on the track thankfully, but i rode in the intermediate group and was happy to let faster guys go by with chasing them. I miss track days but they are in the past for me…….As i sit here recovering from shoulder surgery after running and slipping on gravel in my driveway. Three more weeks wearing this hard brace and sleeping in a chair. 🤦‍♂️

@@nesta8273 I have 30 years experience riding dirt and now ride with 2 prosthetic legs. Your right about always going flat out. My best learning is on my own going slowly. After an hour warm up I’m more aware and confident to go flat out. In saying that I can just tear off flat out all day everyday and race but I really enjoy going slower and “playing” with the bike.. I can ride over a single car or truck tyre standing up hop logs all day ride at 200klmh through the desert and fly 400 metres off a ramp n flat land it but experience came from doing it all slower knowing what I and the bike can do. Take off in first gear turn the bike n ride in as tighter circles as you can up straight then lean into it try n move over the bike and hang your bum over the side of the motor. Do this in both directions, then move back on the seat and as far forward and back doing the circles slowly then tuck in clutch in full throttle dump the clutch n ride off sideways on the back wheel hitting the hole shot like a champ. You now know the limits of your bikes handling and weight centre of gravity taking off hard teaches throttle response and power. I do this on every bike I ride.

Senior rider, I'm all too familiar with these operational commitments. Hopefully soon I'm able to work at my own pace and I'm able to sign up for a race season.

I was in the forces in the 1980s (British Army) but we were lucky enough to have inter regimental and later inter forces biking competitions, moto cross and road riding and depending on where you were posted you could concentrate on one or the other, for example if you were in the Arabian peninsula you concentrated mostly on moto cross or road racing if you were in Germany or Cyprus, it was a massive bonus for the many bikers there were in the forces and in a lot of cases the reason many lads signed on again at the end of their time.

You can have all the talent in the world and still get into an accident

@@steve00alt70 hi Debbie Downer!!

@@steve00alt70 I'd argue that more talent comes out of more accidents. I certainly avoided some crashes by witnessing other's mistakes, but the biggest learning moments can be had from your own, when you pay in blood. Riding is about facing the ultimate challenge that anyone faces: living life to the fullest. So, any rider worth their weight in salt has come to terms with their mortality early in their career. This guy may not have crashed yet, but he likely will someday, and he will get back up and do it again, just like the rest of us have. You're not scaring anybody.

Yessssir!

In my country you can visit any track and go on it for 10-15 euros per day. Go shred!

@@manbiteslife3110 which country ? that sounds amazing lol

@@Urmom-qf3mo one that's not out to milk their citizens of all their money for their own financial gain without a care in the world for their safety or survival lol 😆

@@manbiteslife3110 these tracks are like 500 to ride once or twice a year

It's always the first track day that scares the living shit out of you. My guy, once you get past that "initial fear" you'll be screaming in your helmet with joy. Did my first track day over at Phillip Island on their rental S1000RRs and it did not disappoint. Go out and have a track day!

same feeling when Trevor Nation FLEW past on the brakes at a N.Gloucester club meeting

I hate that mindset. If another human being can do it. It is physically possible. Intern. Possible for you to do as a human. If u see another person do something. It. Is. Possible

@@prodbybabygod7411 I can bounce a basketball, if I trained every waking moment of every day for the rest of my life, I would never be able to come even remotely close to the level of Michael Jordan in his prime, I could get really good, but being the best is just never going to happen.

@@prodbybabygod7411 so true... In general I take that view, but sometimes.. man some people they are just better than you at some stuff, and there is no shame in that.. you can't learn everything and be godly at it all. People that grow up doing something generally have the edge over those that pick it up later in life. So many things you have to train your body to "accept" when riding a motorcycle and that is multiplied at these speeds.. if genuinely "new" to riding this is a good example of Natural Talent.

@@DenvarShay if you started when he did. Nah fuck that if you stopped doing anything expect practicing bball. You could. So sad you cunts have no drive.

There's a fine line between genius and a madman he snorted that line, Not my saying but love it.

thats a load of horseshit man if you really believe he has been riding for only 1.5 years and only his 3rd trackday!!!!

novice, intermediate 1, intermediate2, advanced

@@Vforfreedom you can learn extremely fast if you have enough money to keep your nose to the grindstone

@@Vforfreedom not really lol, he's crossed up on almost every single turn, he's constantly going wide and making small mistakes looks like a true beginner with some serious natural talent and balls to go with it, he's doing some things wrong but what he's doing correctly requires commitment and he has all the commitment, your bike isn't less capable because you have less experience, some people learn faster than others and he's on an incredibly capable bike that will allow him to snatch ANY progression in front of him. Some people are just naturals, and if you give naturals the right tools and environment to succeed, they do this.

Who is He ? Name ?

Thanks Nick. Hopefully next year 🤞

Exactly. Can you imagine CR on an M1000RR? Who's passing him? (-;

That's super rare for sure. I feel with cars there are ways to get proficient before hitting the track, such as racing sims and karting. I know by the time I did my first HPDE, I had at least 100 hours on Gran Turismo, it felt very natural. With motorcycles, the learning curve and chances of crashing are much higher, it's truly hard to be fast on the early stages without taking significant risk.

@@CubanRider lol to a degree I would concur. I've seen plenty of sim guys come in their car and leave in an ambulance. And knowing my experiences have been pretty crazy in cars, I can only imagine what you've seen. I keep telling my wife in going to start going to motorcycle track days. I quit riding street due to safety (car drivers) but I would love to learn bike dynamics. I started watching motogp a few years ago and it's truly art work, esp Marquez! The ability of the rider to move their body and affect handling mid corner is nuts.

​@@ShipMonster I would not want to instruct car track days, that's for sure! Too many drivers with overpowered cars and not enough skill to handle it. Same goes for motorcycles, but most of the times the riders just park it in the corners. Transitioning to motorcycle track riding has been one of the most rewarding things I've done. I tell myself the consumables are much cheaper, but at the end of the day, it's a lot of money to be competitive.

Do it. Fair warning, you'll be spoiled after experiencing COTA as your first track. Incredible experience.

Completely agree, that's how I got started.

Maybe so , but talent is talent. I've done plenty of track days with plenty of folk with all the gear and upgrades but absolutely no fuggin' idea of a racing line, braking point or where they should even be on the bike.

@@DoctorELNewberry that’s what we in the car racing community call “all the gear and no idear.”

I second, third, and forth this comment 👍

What is a GP shift pattern. I know all the downshifting, rev matching stuff but that is new to me.

@@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454 i believe its reverse of normal shifting 1st gear up all other down

@@simetar88 Just like old school before the USDOT made everyone switch from right side 1 up-neutral & the rest down to the opposite side. Always thought that since most people are right footed & shifting requires more fine motor nerve coordination, that they screwed up. But that was about the time Joan Claybrook was the head admin. She presided over the Corvair fiasco & wanted to make seatbelts mandatory on motorcycles.

Doubt he was just "cruising" on the streets. Many riders get their fundementals on the streets, even take them to advanced levels. Now, average people may not like them (as they routinelly violate many traffic codes), but you can not say skill can not be learned on the street. I have known those who race on the track, who still take it to public roads as part of their "training". (We of course do not like to call it "training" --it's just fun).

Electronics aside, he's really good in figuring how to go fast, comfortable on the side of the tire and strong on the brakes. You can coach someone all you want, but if they don't have the go-fast bug, they will do everything just like you told them, except at much slower pace. If you're this talented from the get-go, then coaching becomes so much easier. Once this man figures out COTA, I'm not going to be able to touch him... unless that is, I get myself a faster bike.

@@CubanRider I’m not a huge Ducati fan, but I can’t deny that they are an absolute weapon on track, not just speed but handling too. I could see how much drive he was able to achieve whilst maintaining a tighter line on corner exit. It made a huge difference on the switchback through 8-9(?) I’m not taking anything away from him as he is very talented, achieving what others never will in such a short time.

There's some truth to this, however there's a factor everyone seems to forget and that's the power difference between no help bikes and modern bikes. My 04 rsv has no abs, no tc, no wc, and I ride it just as hard as my tuono with all the gizmos with no issue. However, my tuono makes 35-40 more horsepower and has a fatter torque curve, and without aids I def get away with a little more than normal but not much. Watching some of my own videos the tc is seamless and didn't even realize it coming on in some areas. I also ride with almost all of the rider aids off, so while the safety net IS there, it's more a peace of mind than anything else cause they can and will get incredibly intrusive even at medium settings. Even with everything set to level one, I can still slide the ass end out on corner exit, I can still hover the rear end under heavy braking, rear abs is off, so don't think electronics are this catch all, modern day electronics are incredibly sophisticated and the individuals who rely too much on them will never get as fast as people who understand and know their bikes capability

Ducati Multistrada, perhaps 950 or 1200

Tell a lie, I think it's a BMW S1000 XR

@@joshTEAM44 Sounds like one , my mate had one , it not so Angry 160 Hp , against 200 Hp , you can ride it Hard

That's insane!

@@CubanRider Thanks for the reply Cuban rider. I've actually convinced two guys to buy a BMW 1000 XR after showing them some of your videos. You seem to have quite a bit of natural talent yourself.

thats BS!!!! and Ben Spies took alit longer

@@Vforfreedom apples and oranges Ben Spies was a top professional competing for the win from the very start. The guy I know was never competing for the win he is more like your local fast guy that gets to compete when the AMA shows up at your home track.

954cc for his first street bike? Thats just dumb early death for sure

Si, mucho que las recomiendo. Buenisimas, un agarre tremendo.

You caught that too! #YeeHaw! =)

That's him pinning the throttle and the electronics keeping him from looping it. A $30K Ducati is responsible for that wheelie more so than the rider.
