For a minute I thought I was was watching 44teeth

If an ex BSB racer like Al finds this an intimidating ride, then it just goes to prove that these machines are not meant to be ridden my mere track day mortals like us.

That quick serie of apexes at 3:17 man.... pure gold !

Jason Statham has let himself go lately.

Makes you realise how gifted Rossi and the top Moto GP riders are.

That Jason Statham guy is everywhere...

3:10 , I don't think the average person realizes how much skill it takes to hit those lines THAT perfectly. These guys (and gals) are artists.

The one thing I realize about top notch racing gear is that world class equipment is really more about the stratospheric capabilities of the riders and drivers. 99.9% of the rest of us could never understand what the machine is capable of. And then there's Marquez, Dovi, Rossi and all...

Even if I only rode that BSB bike in my dreams it would still scare me enough that I'd piss the bed.

When you ride a particular type of bike, in a similar environment, for lap after lap after lap, a LOT of those mind processes begin to happen 'automatically'... But when you go from a street bike -- no matter how good it is -- with a different shift pattern and levels of both braking and acceleration, then EVERYTHING has to be processed 'on the fly' as you go thru it! Every adjustment of the throttle, every squeeze of the brakes, every ounce of rear brake, different braking and turn-in markers, DOWN on the shifter instead of up, ...every adjustment at every point on the track has to be processed as an active conscious thought and action...and at a FASTER RATE because you are riding a faster bike! The only way to really 'compare' the bikes is to go 'piece by piece' as to how each change effects the performance of the bike...And which of those changes could still be used on a Street Bike..? It would be the same with cars... WHY and HOW is a RACE C7-R Corvette faster around a track than a stock Z06...and could you drive the C7-R on the street..?

Great vid and great stat about 100% throttle. That shows the skills proper!! Fair play. Just shows how good the pros really are.

I remember when top superbikes back in the day were the 750cc and were making over 170hp. To think my street bike would have more power than that blows me away. Needless to say just an HP comparison not all the other super fancy tech stuff.

If you're that inadequate, leave it to someone else...Laverty is an Also-Ran Notwithstanding !

Very nice and honest look at normal riders and racers and the tools of the trade.

Very nice! A hug from Portugal!

I'm a novice track rider,YIKES!! I can't even use all the bike I have now! My hats off to you all.

The skinny fella from FB was left wondering how he even has a job in the motorcycle industry. Good work Fagan!

Cant help but feel, buying an R1M , CBR-RR-R , V4S/R , ZX-10RR etc , buying these bikes for the Rd .. its all bragging rights to a label MOST couldnt exploit anyway on any given day.

It does go to show you. I like the looks of that track, though.

Just to prove the point of the power of these kinds of bikes, watch James hillier run the ninja h2r for a lap around Isle of Man and you realize these riders are beyond mortals.

Respect lads .. and a great vid as well.

Good video. And cool to see Statham into bikes, didn't know he was a motorcycle enthusiast. Certainly has gained a couple pounds though..... : ^ )

Racing this circuit on a video game, it is one of the most difficult circuits i have ever seen. As a result i dont think its the best for press reviews, because the journalists are more focused on not crashing than they are getting the most they can out of the bike

Please call JOSH BROOKES he dominates the R1.

More of this please!

Great stuff 😍

Background music was good..loved it

he wow such a cool leathersuit! I am looking for acamouflage but there is no company which is offering camou for me... where can I get this leathersuit?

Top riding al!!!!

When did he leave Tyco?

those bike look insane !

Top vid lads respect to the boys scary shit !

I was hoping for some times on each

so this is why we are waiting on the BB build on 44 teeth XD

The track reminds me of Brands hatch... where is it shot?

he just flew away from there 3:13

You probably rode it quicker than Michael Laverty did on it and his tyco bmw his last couple of seasons

brilliant

Still not winning many races tho

Kind of a waste of time without lap times set by the same rider imo

British bikes are so cool...

Bsb bikes have no traction control and have too much power really for mostly tight twisty British tracks wsbk tracks are a lot more wide open tracks which suit them better

I expected to see 44teeth leathers. Haha. Oops.

Next up; MotoGP!

Let Jason Statham do the talking

what i did know that i do not wont to race on super bike that the ugly truth .... same thing hopping when i did jump from my triumph daytona 675 to yamaha r1

20K FOR A SWING ARM!!?

I eeally thought it was an aprilla....lol

Should of asked the team y there doin so shit on a championship winning bike with one of fastest rider's in the world. Also did Al find this bike less intimidating than the BSB ZX10 he used to race?

I think its skill, not talent, what you need?!

SUBTITLES FFS!!!

get your cap on right ffs

I can't help but have a chuckle as these guys are talking about how much is spent on the race bikes, because I just think about all the folks out there who think the bike they're getting in the showroom is the same as the race bike only with headlights and mirrors.
