And an incredibly skilled rider with steel balls...

There's no gimbal in this video

Its not bad!

D) the infamous ducati's tank slaps.

@@atmack7622 Osmium is denser than any other natural element, so I'd say osmium alloy balls.

Who needs fancy Film tech when you have balls and skill

Totally agreed!

@@salvationbygracethroughfaith don't do it then. But stop complaining when other people like it.

@@salvationbygracethroughfaith whats your problem? Why do you delete your first comment? Are you a pussy?

Parked up like he was meeting his mates at the local bike cafe. haha

@@ttmadness34 The ending just needed him meeting a bird ala "C'était un rendez-vous": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fs2Aosx8zrO2doU.html

@@ThisIsTheInternet never seen this, nice! thanks!

Yes, I imagine it was a bit like the car at the end of the Blues Brothers when they park it up

hahahahhhaah really beating.the maximum hell out of it

Steven Freeman I agree man, and just shows how/why they also need so much track knowledge. I mean the guy’s are leaning hard into turns at massive speeds with shit visibility, changing surfaces, etc Truly incredible.

Same here ^^

True, it's insane. Bear in on these things when the Speedo shows - - - that's 200mph !!! Crazy

@@polla2256 I was a bit sad and did some calculations (see one of my other comments in this video). between 5:32 and 5:44 when it red lines at about 15000 rpm in sixth, he's probably doing about 209 MPH .

@@karlosh9286 The speedometer isn't accurate (ever). Afaik they did a GPS measurement of this bike at vmax, i.e. 15krpm in 6th and it yielded 307 kph / 191 mph. Note that it could go quite a bit faster with a longer 6th gear.

Alonso Milan well, this is “The Isle of Man TT”, race celebrated every year on Isle of Man , 🇬🇧. Check it out

Good point. My brain could sort of compute those speeds as kph, but mph in those circumstances is something 'from a different dimension'.

It´s amazing how quick that thing is, my bike is 135bhp at the back wheel, & is more than plenty fast - wtf would it be like with another 100bhp, I just cannot begin to imagine..

@@Farlig69 would probably us killed without even realizing it, too fast for our thinking. as racer say "you need to think faster than the speed of your car (or bike in this case)

Past 185 Dash was like: Nope, can't keep up with my own engine. I'm out 🤘👹🤘

James Hardy not bad for a 50 yr old fella that’s been doing the TT nearly 30 yrs and still in the top 10.

This is a pleasure lap done by Michael. The craziest footage has to be Peter Hickman's record setting lap, when he won the Senior TT in 2019, averaging 135.5 mph. Here you go: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNuPm9uopsfSiGQ.html

Well it probably was.

It probably is. This bike has more steering wobble than any other bike I've seen on this circuit, plus it has a retarded amount of torque. I imagine every bump is putting a rider's throttle discipline to the test like no other.

Needs a bigger steering damper of the ohlins variety stat💥

Zaheer Kader the bikes stable as fuck! The bars are only moving from side to side because the front wheel is coming off the ground! Nothing to do with the steering damper!

"Bumpy." Lol Most of these tracks now days are as smooth as glass.

the thing is, there are every year a whole bunch of riders who do this for 6 entire laps at these speeds, even overtaking each other

This wasn’t in the race but Michael Rutter (a TT racer) on a normal road bike out for a practice with the circuit closed to normal traffic.

@@AnEssentialQuality that makes absolutely no sense... so then we should never aspire to own for example a Porsche 911 GT2RS?

@Cwshty-Griff Hate is just a back handed compliment... lol.. thanks man.

If you owned a different serial number, would you be proud?

Bet your glad it's not serial number 108!!!!😂

I was wondering how quick the bikes go at the 35th milestone (between Creg and Brandish) as I was there for that night's practice. I'm thinking around the 195 mark.

@@mickydebargos 200 mph

The speedo just goes blank. "--- whatever dude, it's your funeral."

How fast was the bike going when the speedo blanked out...surely that must put it the realms of the 200 mark....it is Insane,....how can the guy react that fast down thoses country lanes is beyond me....What a exceptionally talented fella...Best bike video ever.

Speed goes to - - - at 13,200 RPM. At 14,600 RPM that equates to 204 mph.

This bike is built for speed.

I imagine it listening to it's parts shrink as it cools whilst toaking deep on a Marlboro red,feeling a bit used and dirty. Knees still shaking. 😉

The last bike out!

As soon as I saw that I said OH SHIT!

Oven King thing is he is accelerating so most of the drive is on the rear so he allows the front to find its line. Except one time where he was to get some chattering he reduced a little but that was already going into a turn. Simply a professional he knows it well. He is a frequent podium at Macau race as well last time 2nd or 3rd if not mistaken. Rides bikes for PB magazine really fun to read his reviews.

I think he missed one at Veranda, gotta go back for it. ;)

@@tommallon4052 🤣

You can learn the sequence of place names that way, but it takes 3 years riding it to learn the circuit. Bumps, where grids & drain covers are etc. Something inexperienced riders have found out the hard way.
