What's he switching with the left hand all the time, please?

@@goprodog4304 He's changing gear.

@@GoodwoodRR I was afraid you'd say that. Madness. So much skill involved.

No actually, I’d rather it was all back in my garage actually - where it frigging belongs!

luuk341 I would love to wring a bike at a raceway for sure i could try with quarter liters

Classic.

James Jarrett lets say its both .... and i’ll take it

@@Billy_Prohens In this case it's the bike

Much appreciated good Sir. But I think most people here came for the whole show;)

thanks you are my savior

Thanks bruuhhh

Thank you

I can see them laughing through the helmets 😂

No one mentioned how hard he had to work with that springer seat, constantly throwing his balance off

Resurrecting an old post here but yeah Corser looked totally at ease on that old BMW. I think very few people could have put together a faster lap time on it. I think if you put him on that bike on an 'advanced' track day, he would be lapping some modern day superbikes.

It's a BMW R57 Compressor. I presume it's supercharged so it would have some go.

same hear I always wondered how racers died at the isle of man tt back in these days and now I know why

Well they are slow 😂

That bike would be outrun by most modern bikes for under 6 grand. But that's obviously not the point. This bike is the cause that compressors are and were banned in motorcycle racing. I think the point is, that the excitement of racing doesn't come from lap times. It's from interaction between man and machine. Smooth is fast, but smooth is boring,

@@marcelk3847 they're not 😂👌🏽🔥💯

"Excuse me dear Sir, eat my dust!"

Afternoon john, fine day for it. See you on the podium, you won't be long will you old chap?

Brilliant comment!! Well done!

Bloody fantastic. Great comment.

That comment was nuts 😂😂

Fantastic comment! :)

@@mikemer79 we consider an Aussie legend.

@@mikemer79 Corser was born in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, same town as Wayne Gardner...

@@mikemer79 The NZ mainland might have been close to Oz at one time but definitely not when Troy was born.

Be intersting to know how fast it was back in the day with its rider

@@neiltitmus9744 As the story goes the supercharged BMWs dominated the prewar Isle of Man TT and were so loud they could be heard on either side of the Irish Sea

The rider just hates living...

Rafael Nádasi it’s a perfectly fine bike just an old (probably restored) chassis

And it's not the only one

* a German pre-war bike . GERMAN BMW :D In your face Trump ! BMW and UE FTW ! :)))

@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 I am from austria. And i have to say i had to cringe a lot when i read your comment.

er... no, the entire motorcycle community can see that he was reaching for the brake and now fenati might face criminal charge as well

I'm just wonderin why nobody talks bout what Manzi did before that happened...that was exactely tryin to kill fenati in another way, and then lied at the race direction, but nobody cares...

@Matte Muso, I found a video of some of the "incidents" and didn't see anything that i would look at and say were deliberate attempts to run in to another rider. In both cases Manzi was clearly ahead and as such it is correct for him to take his line. If Fenati wants to try and stuff his bike down the inside, or try and run someone wide, and they hold their ground then it's clearly his (Fenati's) fault. www.motorcyclesports.net/motogp/video-see-what-manzi-did-that-led-fenati-to-lose-his-temper/ about 1 minute in they show some other incidents.

@@AndrewFrink sorry bro, but maybe u confused the bikes, look at the first episode, manzi that was behind fenati (and nobody of them was fightin for some important positions or for the championship) tried a fuckin impossible line at a fuckin impossible speed just to try to overtake in a moment he couldn't, that was causin a fuckin crash, and for me that is bas as what fenati did. Second episode is nothin he just overtook, i'm not tryin to justify nobody but don't tell me manzi did nothin. The fault is on both riders, for me at the same level.

Switch passports and everyone would try to make a case for Corser while this gesture would be deemed ”cocky” by the bs British media if done by Fenati.

I don't understand , how is an older bmw able to beat a relatively younger norton ?

Competition regulations changed between the late 20's and early 50's, a supercharged 500cc with about 70-75 HP vs an NA 500cc producing 55-60 HP, that difference can obviously void the handicap of not having any suspension ;) (As a comparison, a BRM Grand Prix (Formula 1 predecessor) car from 1955 had a supercharged 1500cc V16 giving out 450-600 HP, but 1965 they used 200 HP NA 1500 cc Engines)

@@Jettemotor oh thanks .

The bimmer is wicked and Troy is ace...however, give a Kompressor to Mc Pint and you'll see another story

I think Troy deserved the rider/driver of the meeting for this outstanding performance . What is not mentioned is this bike is turbocharged. So in addition to the hand gear change, zero suspension the turbo lag adds to the challenge.

I personally like when motoGP riders all wheelie down the track at the same time but yeah this was a nice moment for sure.

Hands down for the BMW (1929: WTF) and off course Troy.

Yeah, Remember him on the first b.m. 1000 rr in w.S.B.racing. Had some good rides in 2010. And of course blitzing everyone in 1996 on a Ducati, and yes,Very strong opposition.He had a long career and then won title again 9 years later on a suzuki. Raced at top level for 16 years so not surprising to see him blowing opposition away on a 89 year old bike. What a rider, and that bike,awesome to watch!

Did he lose a pinky in a practice race?

Troys got big balls. Always rode with respect to other riders and machinery. He’s HIGHLY underrated until you see this.

Visakh Asok Troy Corser is one if not the most talented rider Australia has ever produced. There’s some good vids on KZfaq showing his amazing ability. One was when he was called back from super bikes to ride the duke to fill in for an injured rider and blew everyone away. Even after not riding a motogp bike for so long. He should be given an award for his contribution to motor sport. Bloody legend!

Was that Bayliss?

It would be nice.

"Opppss sorry I touched your brake" 😂

No, dont go anywhere stay on it

he is racing at australian superbike series. great races, a pleasure to watch. seen on youtube.

sry, its Bayliss.

Richtig!!!............................ ..

Is it a gear selector or a ignition timing controler? Because some old bike had a separate controler for ignition

Clutchless shifting on a shaft drive bike (engine speed clutch) without smashing the transmission takes extreme skill!

Tony Curr "superb"💪

Tony Curr: But he downshifts aswell. How does that work?`He really do it without clutch?

Yes, co-ordinating the blip of throttle very precisely with the shift lever movement. I suspect the gear dogs have been specially modified to facilitate this.

When's the next episode?

Nice eye

You are not respecting

With the flat twin heads scraping the ground, guys nuts.

Corser was the last GSXR WSB Champion

I dont make myself any illusions that i will ever reach the level of these champs

Martijn Jonkers Heh, my dad and his 2 bros were flattrackers back in the 60s before the Japanese invasion. I thought me and my pals rode pretty good but those old guys leave us in the dust on backroads with bikes that spec out weak in comparison to newer stuff. Apparently once ya have it, it’s like getting back on the horse, you never lost it.

@@Starfield6824 yea that was a real championship of 2 halves on the Alstare bike. Troy blitzed them early & then Vermeulen and Nori sort of halved the 2nd half of the season.

All fun and games until your vertebrates start giving in or the frame snaps due to fatigue. Trust me, as someone who rides hardtails of a different fashion (MTB), over longer periods of time they are murder. The chatter is amazing to look at though.

Rossi to 10th title after getting lin Jarvis to get him one👍

MM and JL might have something to say about that.

Carl Skaggs they’d be shitting their sens lol

God damn, that thing shakes all over the place. But great to watch Corser killing it!!!

Cool to hear some stories coming from Rabanal, very hard to find info about that guy. His son Trevelen is one cool dude.

KingSams0n known Trevelen and Uncle Benji for years. Great stories. Lots of history. Great people.

KingSams0n sad to say that we lost uncle Benji a few weeks back

They have to be clean overtakes. These machines are museum pieces that the owners are trusting tho these riders. Any rider who doesn’t respect these machines would soon find themselves black balled.

almost double the hp these days and modern classic race tyres are very good. Then there's the modern dampers etc. Don't get me wrong, fantastic stuff, but a lot of improvements over what they once were.

PersistentResistance put an engine on a frame with two wheels and it’s going to be quick

But still with a suicide shifter ... respect

Yeah. I'm looking forward to a F1 driver tapping another he just passed at 350+ kph.

@@drillonrecto9787 lmao

But f1 was more dangerous than bikes so the camaraderie was there, but jackie Stuart helpd destroy an incredible sport alongside eccelstone putting the money over the racing. Can't sand either of them. No matter the ability shown in stuarts career. I prefer the, be alive at death way of approaching it and hopefully not reach that situation.

Bè mica si chiama Romano Fenati... Guarda il gesto amichevole di Corser che è imparagonabile a quella stronzata che ha fatto Fenati... per giunta lo ha fatto a un doppiato per dirgli 'levati dal cazzo' .... Mi vergogno di essere italiano se per questo ... meglio inglese o di colonia commowhelt come Troy Corser che è australiano che un italiano che addirittura il team è quello del dottore il VR46 , Ha fatto una gran figura di merda.....

Because the cheeky (pun not intended LOL) moment was at the end of the video. You people say this like nobody has their own opinion

Environmentalists.

I'm disappointed

A little too friendly!! 🤪🤪🤪

All due respect to those old beemers and Troy Corser but those 1st gen R6's are one hell of a bike. I had an absolute mint 13,000 miler, carbed, kcuffing awesome machine, I know it would lay waste to the old beemer.

LOL

Gotta love it!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪
