Your favorite motorcycle video?

He puts on a good show, doesn't he? His skill set and testicular fortitude are more than a few clicks above my own lol but man, he throws that little 300 around...

He sure does, and it's real impressive to see the level he rides at now considering he only has a few years of experience riding a bike. I guess it's identifying areas of improvement and devoting yourself to that. I'm sure it helps having the kinds of roads they have over there vs some of the roads we get
 
This needs the sound on to help set the mood. Skip to 0:50 if you can't read Japanese :p

Not a riding video but just gorgeous old school craftsmanship on a legendary bike :agave:

Wow, that is really a great watch, thanks for sharing!

I gotta add this video in too, the intro is just sublime with some nice speakers :D

On Voltage's post the main picture for one video clearly shows the person on the wrong side of the line. Not a very good recommendation for the enclosed video.
 
Gotta love the oldies!

For those with a sense of humour - short and sweet LOL.

I won't YouTube link it directly as it's decidedly NSFW. ;) . (Ahh, dangit, the forum does it automatically now... Gotta edit it out LOL)

Rossi was a bit late to the game, he missed the hay days of the late '80s, the Schwantz, Mamola, Spencer, Rainey, Lawson, Haslam, Gardner era.
They made a movie about the '88 -'89 seasons, The Unrideables
There is a follow up, The Unrideables 2, The Rainey Years, but I can't find a link for a stream.

The bikes were 200 MPH, 160 HP, 220 lbs, early aluminum frames (so they were sorta hit or miss), 130 rear tires and a power band about one thousand RPM across. Fall off the pipe and the thing would high side you to the moon. GREAT FUN.


160 HP, 220lbs?? Is that a Typo?
 
The "All rider skill, no electronics" phrase really irks me as it seems to discredit modern riders. I don't think you can compare the power to weight ratio of those machines vs modern ones. The amount of skill required to not only ride an incredibly powerful GP bike with electronics but also to help shape development and settings for it shouldn't be undersold. I would argue it takes more skill to master a modern day GP bike vs the old ones. The skill ceiling also seems much higher.

I realize you probably aren't discounting modern day pro riders; but that phrase has always bothered me

/rant
I used to race 500 two strokes, and yes it was more difficult then the modern bikes. There was only a handful of people that could ride them fast. Now most competent racers can move to gp and do reasonably well. So it may upset you however get on a 500 gp bike and you will **** yourself.
