The four pro lads passing by is such a cool shot.

The pro's flew past but you did a great job of keeping them in sight for much longer than I thought you could. Great riding, Chris and very informative, thanks 👍

The skill range at this event looks absolutely insane. Everyone from beginners to Toprak on the track at the same time 😳I'm surprised this is ok...

That bike sounds absolutely amazing, and to see those boys drifting was awesome 😮

What an awesome experience to be on track with world class riders. It’s awesome watching you guys develop this bike! Great stuff.

Crazy how Toprak just comes sliding into the corner sideways fully under control. Just world class riding honestly doesn’t get any better than that in terms of skill

Awesome work! For the last two years i have driven out to Italy and stay about 10 mins from the circuit and do a few days with the local TD guys. If anyone knows the circuit and lap times then they should know a sub 2:10 is good at Miugello. A 2:03 is an incredibly fast and Sub 2 mins you puts you probably in very competitive position in Super stock. Chris's circuit craft has to be highly commended for than the bike build i feel :) I'd be happy with a consistent sub 2:10! Thanks for the video, i will be using this as a reference!

Great video thanks Chris! The explanation of how you ran on really helps, and it's comforting to see that even guys like you make mistakes sometimes

Some high quality content you put out. Thanks for sharing and its fun to see you get support sorting issues out. Yamaha put together a very nice event.

On track with legendary top riders. That’s quite something, thank you for this video!

Seeing the professionals display their talents must be quite the humbling experience! 😮 Impressive to say the least! 👌

Love these track day videos, keep them coming. Wanna see both the boys on track 👍

Awesome update video. I bet you those Ohlins guys have never had a visual description of what the suspension was doing like the way you described it!!! Classic!!!🤣🤣🤣 Can’t wait for the day 2 video!

The big takeaway for 90% of trackday riders should be that you can make a huge improvement to your suspension by just "ballparking" it, which is basically what the pros did for that first session. Dave Moss has a series of videos about it, and how you can ballpark your own suspension settings and learn what they all do, before paying professionals like him for their time, so you get more out of their time.

I’ve followed BVG for about 10 years watching him do a track day on his SRAD as I had the same bike and he was fast as hell then, to see him at this sort of event and keeping up at times with the top riders on Earth is a pleasure to watch. Living the dream. Great to see and his dry British humour always makes me laugh 😅

Great to watch you for all these years I used to watch bvg Motovlogs into London. And the sport bike down the fire lane. Great content

Well done Chris. Nice to be mixing it with the top order.

fucking amazing you can share trackdays with those guys, dream come true for a biker

I remember when he used to whinge his way to work through London….this looks like a lot more fun eh 😃

Brilliant to see these top riders on track At least you know where you need to be for world level racing, a complete loonatic

I had same problem 4 weeks ago in misano until i found out that you can't run the r1 on the stand my engine light came on because of that. thank god someone was there who could clear the error for me,he cleared the error with a plug. great video and your lap time is also very good 👌👍

Thank you Chris. Just reflecting on your first few track rides and how confident you have become. We viewers appreciate the path you have negotiated , through it all and hope life treats you well. Great effort , say hey to the boys, looking forward to more . Respect Pawlak

Been waiting for this shakedown for yonks... Nice one lads.😊

Great watch. Thanks.

This is the most enjoyable video that I have seen 44 teeth produce. Thank you so much.

Chris if only I could do a lap of mugello like that I'd be happy. Great to see. 😊

Dang that half hour went by quicker than my last 30 minute massage with Amber down at the ole rub-n-tug. Great stuff boys! *as per usual.

Damn that looks like fun, to share a track with the real deal riders must have been awesome, would have made my year.

You so lucky to ride such a bike on that track , cheers man.👍

Oh I remember being at Mugello in '95. Mick's pole 1:55.5555555, or sompfing like that. I commentator went overboard with the fives. Shows the skill back in the day.

When the on board footage came up I thought it was a game as it was so smooth!!

I’m sure I’m late to the party but I’ve successfully cleared engine codes on my 2023 MT-10 using a regular OBD2 scanner and a Yamaha adapter I got off Amazon. Great video, it was amazing seeing Toprak drift past you like that!

I do all my mates set ups, surprising how even basic sag adjustments increase riding enjoyment and confidence.

Did you ever think when you started vlogging your commute that you would be on track at Mugello with a World Champion? Amazing experience- if somewhat terrifying! 👍

Great video, nice work with the onboards at such a strict circuit. Will you be heading back to Almería anytime soon for a comparison to the stock setup?

Worth investing in a bit of diagnostic software. I use GS-911 that you can use across the Beemer range to diagnose and clear faults.

That is unreal how fast those dudes are 😅😬😁 great riding, Chris 🤙🏻

Brilliant video

I absolutely love the series. The bike looks awesome. I'm curious, though. As a viewer of the channel. What is better to help support the channel . Is it better to let the ads playout. Or is it the same if I skip them? Great job. Thanks.

You guys should look into the Forcite helmets, they're the only ones to have integrated cameras in the chin guard of their helmets, and they're ECE 2206 homologated. Quite stealthy. Might let you get some footage out!

That tank extender is a ting of beauty. ALL sports bikes should have a flat-top tank. Also, please put the mirrors and numberplate back on for your next event.

Love the video! Hope to see more of stuff like this in the future!

I been waiting for this video

Incredible experience having those boys come drifting past

Thank you!! I have a raven just like this, well with less mods. But what an excellent machine! How do you support your channel? I love the content!

Nice look and suspension. I was hoping to see some performance enhancements with the E10,000.

great video, bike looks mint ..motivated to get the old blade out for a spin on a rare day off ....and its pissing down outside ffs

Its hard work, give you more respect for guys like James - how they can do this for a career for 40 years,

At 12.48 was that Wilco helping you out, used to work in his home town just under Rotterdam and met a few times, super nice bloke

8:57 Wow a moment to remember for a while

I do love the sound of a CP4 on full chat!

If your working out all the pre-old etc should you be in all your kit? Or does it not make that much difference?

Perfect timing, was just looking for an update video on progress

Surely you’re ready for the Beamer 900 cup with Statham and Boothy now…. Awesome tech, love the details and how you’ve come on from the sports cock London commute banter ✊🏍💨

nicely done Chris, those pro boys dont half carry some speed! keep up the great content, great editing too! chao chao chao

Best racetrack in the world? I've never ridden it but what I have seen so far, HELL YES!

Molto bene, lads. I hope to get around Mugello on an S1000RR next year, but I'd rather that R1.

so happy to see you got to ride with those legends. good job on the bike

Great stuff, next please!

Chris, “Not a lot of rebound compression”. The Öhlins guys, “🤔”

Seeing Toprak and Co. flying through the track was sublime. Fantastic video, and I loved the bike development aspect of your R1 too Baron! Keep it up!

I’ve got a 22 R1 and after doing the EXUP eliminator plug-in thing and smog block off I get these engine lights as well. Seems to be related to the smog block off portion. I use a OBD-2 scanner here in the US and it clears the codes…

I was playing with an R1M at the weekend.... Im buying one. Beautiful from every angle

You could consider buying a Texa IDC5 diagnostic system for this and all your other bikes. I'm in Australia but bought mine from Probike in the UK. This is a shop level diagnostic system but covers nearly all makes and models

Did also a trackday with sbk legends ...its amazing how fast they are

This was bloody awesome dude, love these types of videos

I watched that lap on my phone tilting it into the corners like some sort of gyro cam. Puts into perspective for none bike riders like me the crazy amount on lean angle!! My question to you is, do you get your shoulder down? 😉

Very cool & interesting vid. Looks & sounds amazing. Great job Chris!

Great video thanks for putting this together Chris 😀

6:04 running the bike on track without mirrors and getting passed like that would scare the fuck out of me

I absolutely love seeing so much of the engine in your "click-bait" picture. Thats how I want my Superbike (1996 cbr600f3-t) to look. After Ive fitted the much higher VFR750 handlebars. ( im a little older now, so my wrists could snap under heavy braking. LOL, imagine that🤪. Oh yeah, P.S. i havnt watched the video yet. Im saving it for the weekend. I like to have a little binge, then a ride out. Reminds me of the early eighties as a 22 year old, sitting on the floor next to me Dads house, with the rocker covers off on me 1970 Honda 750, adjusting the screw and locknut tappets. Trying to get it faster!! Great days. Sundays spent going around the outside of my mates on their X7's, RD250's, LC250, CB250rs. That old bus, that old 750. It had so much torque, and such a wide engine, I could out-corner ANYTHING. But at 101mph it had a VICIOUS tankslapper. But just grip it and rode through it to 120-125. No problems. Cos no- one is passing you in the bends.

@44Teeth what sunnies are you sporting there please ? Top content as usual

Hey, Great content. Can you drop the links to the parts used on the build? Thanks

Cracking vid that

what race fairings are you running? mine are shit on my r1, i need new ones.

Underslung rear caliper kit 👌👍

The scary thing is, I doubt Toprak was even at 5 tenths!

15:05…. “Oh, for fucks sake”…..😂😂 probably not what he said. But it sounds like something I’d say when I dropped a helmet or something expensive haha.

Thanks Chris! Really enjoying your adventure with the new R1 and the day at Mugello. :) Headed to track in Northern California tomorrow to ride with wife and friends. Watching this just pumped me up just a bit further! DT

I don't recall but is the superstock brake setup sans ABS pump etc?

£10 off with BeMoto!? That's generous of them lol. Insurance companies are a joke these days!

Did you not need to have a tune for the new exhaust setup?

Good to have you back Sue! 👍

Loved the video, look forward to more such vids

It was 113 outside last Friday rode 6 30 min sessions can't wait for cooler weather

Great video

Let gooo, best channel on KZfaq

a great bike just keeps getting better and some lovely quick company on the track too 🙂

Wow that was a really good video great job guys ,you got some skills Chris 😉🙏

The engine light happened to me on a track day, really frustrating. Yamaha dealer said it detected I'd leaned the bike too low. So then it locks the modes (like you mentioned). Then you got to take it to a dealer and pay to reset the errors. Pathetic.

@8:55 wow once in the life time, happy for you Chris also, the Ohlins guys are exactly how I would imagine Ohlins guys

Where do you get those tyres stickers from?

Idk if you can clear the codes, but I think you should be able to at least check them with any old OBD2 scanner tool plus a converter cable to go from standard OBD connector to Yamaha’s connector.

Needs a good throttle map, recommend setons in Essex

Temple of speed

i was surprised the suspension wernt altered with you wearing your riding gear?

Best video yet!!!!! Amazing.

Anyone else can see Ian Foot from "come fly with me"???😂

What a great place to test out the new mods, lots of helpful dudes and a few...talented blokes to learn some lines from. Muy belissimo!

Where are those Bridgestone mats from?
