Great result ! Bike looks awesome👏 can’t wait till the next one . Would have been nice to see a final rundown list of what everything cost

Well, I'd say you've not forgotten how to ride at all,,,,just a tad quicker than I was, but remember the track was about 3 miles longer back in the 90s, just ask yer dad!!!😂😂 Admire your honesty when it came to the bike build!! Keep up the good work mate , cheers! 👍

You speak as if you failed to make this project happen because it went different than you planned, but, I'd say you accurately showcased the pitfalls that one can fall into when building a bike. Fairing kits even if not race spec often need modification, researching the bike to see if parts are available, budgeting extra time for inevitable delays & setbacks, and looking over the bike to identify parts you may or may not be able to fix within your skillset. You did well to set realistic expectations for anyone attempting a build for the first time.

A 750 smoking 1000cc bikes! Love it!

I can't believe you've struggled to get parts for what is essentially the most common go to trackday bike - but it does look fantastic so well done. Carbon fairings are a little extravagant but maybe the trackday warrior would prefer to get spare levers/clip ons and spare rearsets...

TMac great job, more please, keep builds within reasonable track-day punter budget, comparing standard bike to track modified with what the improvements mean for track riding, you are on a winner. 😊

Very nice Taylor, great series and result. Poor riders at Knockhill must've wondered what was going on...... 'ah, Taylor Mac' ! - still proper fast !

Absolutely loved this bike build Taylor. Shows how tricky it can be when you have an older bike. Great stuff. 👍

You made me laugh ! And the bike’s amazing!! Keep up the amazing work Taylor

That's a great finished job by all involved. It was good seeing you hit your marker every time coming into and out of the last turn leading onto the start finish straight. I bet the rest on track were thinking who the hell is that guy passing everybody , the gigs up haha. :}

Loved the video! Would like in the future to see you going deeper into a track conversion and the technical aspect. Maybe changing from the stock ECU into implementing telemetry, dashboard, quickshifter, making the harness, pherhaps some engine modification? Looking forward to the next build!

The Gixer 750 is the perfect track day bike imo. I loved mine, fast but easy to live with, and you can thrash them without instantly getting out of your depth like you can on a 1000 (unless you’re say a former Stock 1000 champion)

Great bike build and video. And so lovely of the trackday organisers to allow you into The novice group with your lack of recent track riding and all. 😂😂

Your Gixxer build came out so epic! You are one of my favorite youtubers and I am so happy that I found you. Keep up the amazing content.

This could be a great series if you like. Building low budget track bikes and the issues you can run into. Would love too see you build some other bikes and process at the end

How about a vintage race bike or even a sidecar outfit. Loving the whole nine yards of what your doing.

Just a great series. You showed all the pitfalls and built s great bike. Maybe revisit this one after you have done another few and just add anything extra you think it needs. A real pleasure watching your lines at Knockhill. Great stuff.

Excellent contents and still a stunning rider. You have definitely rode that circuit a few times and made it look like a high speed video game. You won't make a MP later on in life cus your too honest! Well done and keep up the hard work

Triumph 765rs build next please, either retaining the handlebars (for broken old men like me) or with a moto2 style bodywork kit.

Have you thought about entering the No Limits endurance race on the bike with a couple of ex racers for a laugh? Mad mark as crew chief would be interesting

Really enjoyed the whole build and so what if it didn't quite go to plan, or budget. Loved your banter mate and the honesty about it going a bit tits up 😂😂

Good job you make it look effortless on track 👍

Cracking looking bike Taylor well done . It sounds great and you can still get along a bit.👍

Looking good. Track/race-fairings NEVER fit right out of the box. There's always something that isn't quite right, there are exceptions, but the "rule" is to expect some cutting, drilling and such - and that's when it's "pretty good fit". Some "make your own fixings and fittings" can also help when things aren't lining up - like a spacer to allow a gap between fairing and bolt hole, or a small bracket that "translates" the hole for the screw or bolt on the bike to a place where the fairing has a place for a hole. Fitting a rear suspension unit isn't in itself hard. You do need some way to lift the rear off the bike off the ground without using the switng-arm, so either an ABBA stand or some sort or jack/support under the foot-pegs [assumes solid pegs, typical road-pegs will just move out of the way]. I would also have thought that at least replacing the oil on the front forks (or did I miss that) would be a good thing to do on a track-bike. Obviously "beginner level", forks will probably not need cartridges or some modifications, but fresh oil and a clean-out of any accumulated crud would be a good thing. New seals never hurt anyone either... :) Again, not really hard things to do, but requires supporting the bike without the forks - ABBA stand or front stand that goes in the steering stem (or whatever it's called) [Or a couple of sturdy bits of a wood screwed into an upside down T - carefully pushed in under the stem - no idea who would do this sort of thing ;) My excuse: Needs must, need to fix bike today, can't get a stand in time...]

Taylor - literally as you've been doing this I've been doing the same with a K7 750 to a similar budget. And yes I needed help from specialists and, err, overspent, too! Decat, Ktech front and rear, lighter wheels, new callipers/lines, track tyres...all similar or the same. Yours is lighter, mine makes a little more power...we should run them against each other and see which mods achieve most and where? Love your stuff mate!

Really enjoyed the series but I was hoping that you would incrementally add parts and show the performance difference compared to a stock lap set, like; here's how much difference good suspension makes, here's the difference between slicks and road tyre times etc. Appreciate you're super busy though :)

Wicked video series keep em coming.. could of watched the onboard for ages

Taylor your videos are great 😅 "me converting my van" "me making a track bike" - both projects yeeeaaahhh I didn't have the time or skills. I can tell you that it is so nice to see that even someone who has raced his whole life is as useless at these projects as your average Joe (still haven't finished my van!)

Bike looks mint, so fast and super smooth on track..

Wow you really out did yourself on this build Taylor. Excellent job!

TMac...those laps were mint m8!

lol the old apple don’t fall far from the tree. Mad Mark said get some grease on them brakes lad!😂 Wingin it like a chicken.

Making light work of some of them fancy expensive red sports bikes on track there kid

Jeez you know that track 🔥TMac! Loved the whole thing from start to finish. Keep it coming 😎

Great project! Very interesting to follow along :) Now that you left out the quickshifter for the sake of this being a budget build, what do you think about up-shifting without using the clutch vs quickshifter?

Silky smooth and super swift, still! 🤩

I was hoping for something a bit more detailed than this. Mine is a K6, and I managed to do more for a lot less; race dash, TC, better brakes and still get 135 rwhp. I still enjoy the vids tho.

An R1 build next would be great 👍

your braking is miles harder then anyone else , # still got it !!

Awesome bud cheers 👍🏻

thoroughly enjoyed it. I challenge you to build a trackday bike for half that budget, £5000. For someone like myself, who'll never have enough for an expensive bike.. Bike of choice for me would be a Suzuki again, but this time, an SV650S. It is good for all sizes of riders but can accommodate lankier folks and isnt too scary for a first trackday bike.

this is great didnt know i was going run in to so many bike racer following you you do great job helping keep up good work 😀

Good series bike looked great but you forgot to .ention how it felt and where the areas you think its better perhaps in another episode

Very interesting to be honest. You managed to pick the day of the year that it didnt rain at Knockhill as well 😂

Was fun to watch...all the best.

Enjoyed this, nice bike. Sounds nice as well.

Loved the bike build, really interesting, future ones could be around a Cafe Racer or classic bike? Or favourite bikes in Movies such as the Ducati sport in Tron Legacy, Ducati GPZ 900 from Top Gun Triumph TR6 from the great escape?

Very cool Taylor. Curious to know your time at Knockhill against the rest. My K7 is still running stock pipes because of dB control but most of the required bits - renthal 50mm bars, bonamici rearsets, Active quick twist, CRC fairing. The rest has been suspension setup, dunlop GP212s (now testing a Metzeler k2/k3 combo) and good to run middle of the semi-pro group for someone who returned to trackdays after 12 years ;-)

Looks awesome top job can't wait for the next one you decide to do great video

How about an adventure bike, that you then ride to some of the European GP rounds.

Very sweet machine you finished up with. 👊

I want to see you tear through the advanced group on that bike at Donnington, Oulton etc

every bike build has it nightmare problems as someone who has been building bikes for years 1st was rd cofin tank I put 200 top end on 125 insurance purposes it went like a turbo had been installed needless to say it didn't handle or stop and also built street fighters b4 they were called that it just made sense to get rid of them seats on CB 900 and zeds and put renthals so ya could manhandle them but you are super lucky and all the advise and help you should defo do builds but I hope not all race bikes really try and do a Spondon framed cbx 1000 or kwak 1300 6 cylinders and get it on track you are very lucky use it I have taken 3yrs doing a1991 tenere 660 everything as been a problem all I've got 2 do is manually bend header pipes strip carbs tune it all up and pray it will pass m.o.t all done in my front room without any help so be thankful ov your oppatunity

Nice one Taylor.👍👍

be great to see your parts list for the clipons and the rearsets

Bike looks mint to be fair. Want to do my bike up for me 😂😂😂

Would of beeb cool to get your thoughts on the upgrades? Next think you should do a older 1000cc enter into a raxe weekend and see who you get on 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome Video taylor 😎 Your honesty on here is refreshing 🙌🏻 Oh…..& you can still pedal a bike eh😎 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Enjoyed the series man. Come smoke me at flattrack soon

This guy looks pretty quick, he should try his hand at club racing

I rebuilt a 2002 R1,,, nothing comes cheap in bikeworld

I think you should use a gixer thou k5/6...best gixer ever!

Put an IRC universal blipper on it it will be dope my bro

How about a paddock scooter next , one to carry wheels , tow a trailer and hoon in the paddock 😂

What you actually have is the perfect Moto2 practice bike! Are you thinking what I'M thinking...........???

Awesome 👌 can ya build a steet triple 765rs next please 👍🏻

Hey Taylor I would be awesome to have your honest opinion on the final product… How do you feel about the bike performance? Giving a chance would you have chosen something else for a track bike? Only asking as I’m deciding if I should convert mine GSXR750 to track only or I should get something a bit more focused as a R6

Very much enjoyed this video series. Did I miss the lap time comparison??? Thanks and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍 Randy

Awesome and great fun following you on this project. I call FAKE AI generated on track action though, Scots know that Knockhill only gets eight minutes of sunshine a year. I grew up 8 miles from there 🤣 How about a small displacement like a CBR400 track bike for under £2500?

Epic video mate 😊

Nice, though for the next one what about a Kawasaki Ninja 400? Also add some footage of working on the bike too.

Hi Taylor, can you do a feature with Hector Barbera on your Eurosport BSB slot please? He's been racing in BSB a while now but we don't know anything about what he does in the UK. Love the KZfaq channel! 👍

Next build should be F900R BMW and test it all year at BSB nicking couper man's pize money lol

The bike looks fantastic. Incredibly modern.

Nice series! I subscribed for this series. Wanted some impression/comparision/review for before and after. Was it any good? :)

Have you always had a mechanic doing your bike since day dot? I would love that!

I'm a bit late to the party, but an RGV250 for the next bike build!

i was the 666 like ! hell yea!!! Love from Scotland Taylor I live 30mins from knockhill

what did you think though was she handling ok? looked amazing. sounded great. fair play.

As you're an expert now, let's pick something a bit more challenging... How about a Yamaha Niken race bike? How hard can it be? :-D

I would have done the QS before the powder-coating and something else, I can't remember now.

Quite odd that it is always sunny at Knockhill AKA Costa del sol.

On the down side, a slow speed drop that damaged the bodywork could make a repair impossibly expensive or even impossible. Where is the bike going now?

I think we all wanted to know what the bike was like? How did it handle, did it feel like a moped after what you're used to riding, etc....

Noiyce bike btw🇦🇺

Next build should be something with lots of chrome lots of seventies custom paint and three wheels………

I enjoyed all that but in the first episode you said you were going to ride the before and after bike on the same track so we could see how much difference it made. What happened to that idea?

Looks mint. Did you start looking at other men slightly differently after riding it?

Question is did anyone pass you when giving it the beans at Knockhill??? 😂

Loooks gd mate

Possibly the perfect track bike unless your use to 200 odd hp, what was the red light on dash 😱

Why no clear video shot of the helmet you were wearing?.... I wouldn't trust a Ruroc on the track also. Might fall apart when you take it out of the box because their Q.A. is top notch 👌 lol

Hi why not prep and race a classic 2 stroke bike from the 70s/80s cheers

Honda SP1 full factory build then give it away to a subscriber, mainly because I want one.

You could do a up to date Yamaha RD350LC...

I couldn't afford a 1k track bike , let alone a 10k bike 😂. Nice job though 👍

Why didn’t you end by telling us how the bike felt?

What was the lap time of knockhill on a 10k track bike. Just for a bit of context for a lot of track day riders with a lot less talent 😂

What sort of chain breaker did you use to split the chain. 😉

🔥🔥🔥
