Hows bottom end

We need something like that today.

I don't see the problem, the only thing that'll happen is break-in will be delayed... I'm gonna follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Anyway, good discussion.

This is not a touring bike so no need for long rides this is a super bike in naked.

Seat hurts the ass and that gas tank will have you on reserve in 70 miles. Lol

GW= two wheeled dodge van!

I fell at Chuckwalla and messed up my GSXR. I was bummed out and one of the “track instructors” made fun of me and asked if my bike was a Ducati. Basically insinuating that I shouldn’t be upset because I had a GSXR. Mind you, my bike looked 10 times better than his broken down janky lookin 06-07 R6. Haven’t been back since! Was not a pleasant experience at all.

What mousse, tire, rim combo did you use? I ran the norra on my 890 and had Michelin m02 mousse with desert race tire on a 2.5 rim and it lasted the whole race with no issues, even at 100mph many times.

Love this bike❤

It was good to hear the name Aprilia. Much respect I have. My current bike is 2018 RSV4 RF LE. The first with GP wings. I've got 55 years of experience and have come to find 1/10 second priceless. I love the frame, so when someone I know (who is a salesman) said "it just came in" I said "$old!" I got the first one ever sold. May not mean anything to anyone else, but it means i had the first wheelie, the first on a track... etc. Sure would be nice for an all Aprilia show. Thanks guys, this was a brilliant video.

Chains are great but messy which I dont care for ... Love the belt drive , had it on small Kawasaki street bike and it was quiet and long lasting ... Shaft drive has its quirks , but hondas design on the goldwing made it really good with the counter rotating drive train that eliminated alot of the quirkyness ... I like it best ....

These guys know what they're talking about. Very rare on you tube.

Motocross habits die hard. I see that middle finger on the clutch. 776cc bike. There is no reason to ride the clutch. Nice finish.

Lots of superlative comments about ergos, with only data of weight and seat height. ZERO data on size, limb length, snd weight of tester. Makes the superlatives pretty worthless. I don't have $11k for a bike. I'll figure it out a few years from now.

Use -4995 dollars - 416404😂 Ind is just 2.33 lakhs ex-showroom

You built an amazing bike. And you did an amazing job during the race!!! Thank you for taking us on this journey. Very inspiring.

Dakar next??

I hope the KOTB grows. It’s a awesome series to watch and it is easy to relate to these bikes

The more technical you guys go the better. Very interesting. Thanks for making us bikers smarter. Fun.

Sounds broken lol

Back in the 76 I had a Honda CB750 after learning to ride on a Rickmen Royal Enfield 750 interceptor. I sold the Honda because of the buzzing and got a Norton Commando 850 MK3. Have loved the torque twins deliver for none racetrack use. I have 2 Nortons a BMW R1150 and Moto Guzzi 1200. I think I have the twin configuration covered. Great discussion.

I tuned racebikes for Quebecois riders in the late 80's and early 90's, hitting some of the AMA races. I remember rolling our bike to tech, with Kevin and Jewel Hendricks as the judges of rightness. we had nice little chats, "oh hi Ken..." breezed through, zero stress, while in Canada, some tech guys wanted cam chain tensioners lockwired, and other such idiocy. it was a real pleasure to meet intelligent guys !

About synthetic oil.. I was working for a contractor at the Marathon oil refinery as an electrician.. I was running conduit in the product line pipe racks... What the difference was between regular oil and synthetic as it was told to me by a Marathon oil refinery engineer who should know.... What it boils down to pardon the pond,, synthetic oil molecules are all exactly the same size.... Petroleum oil is all different sized molecules from big to little and guess which ones break down first ..

No question , it's Mobile 1 that is made for your particular brand of bike...they make different oils for different kinds of bikes .and what sold me , at Daytona Bike week they had the mobile one challenge against your oil.. you give them a sample of your oil and they tested it against Mobil 1 and mobil one won the contest every time... As all other oils broke down against their test every time....

You did great for someone so fat and out of shape.

This podcast was fascinating and brought to mind a fall day in New England in 1975 on a Kawasaki Z-1 being in the zone for the day of 100 mph plus riding for hours. Thank you.

Sorry. But I don’t see how or why any beginner should be riding that bike.

This man knows all. ALL!!!

thats why this time I bought the 2024 low rider st my baggers were too heavy mine cost 30k from maui with zero options payed cash. love it. big island been riding since the 70s my first true love was a XLCH I was a 14 kid riding on the back of the galloping gooses mc being friends from my best friends older brother. c ya

Could you explain the differences between coil valve springs and hair valve springs , including , that coil springs tighten with heat and hair springs loosen with heat .

What a joy to learn physics without brain pain and some humor as the icing. Great stuff !

I've watched Wayne Rainey and many of his talented friends race mini bikes in local dirt fields in the area. The level of entertainment was ticket sale worthy, it is obvious once witnessed, skills developed over years of practice are what people come to see, the high tech equipment is just the cherry on top.

I prefer coming 4-8 and having great battles then for me to be in first the whole time

Herr Helmholtz approves!

Real good work fellows thoroughly enjoyable insight to a beast.A fellow i knew and dealt with some years back before his untimely departure , alex campbell was a motor cycle racer and outfit racer and local yamaha dealer, probly had a fair bit to do with yamaha developing the tz 700 /750 . He in fact had joined to 350 twins together and used a norton gearbox in and outfit , fast, generally unreliable . But did spark enough interest to bring the yamaha gurus from japan out here .A mate of mine still has the engine and the frame and has thoughts of restoring as he used to work with alex and had the pleasure of running in the engine on our local roads with instructions to stay under 90mph 😅 . Im not sure how to add a link on here but a quick google search of alex campbell motorcycle racer makes an interesting read.

Try an africa twin bro or a Dessert X it will be more fun😊

I am a fan of all bikes but my favorite 2 are sporting 90° V-twin Suzukis.

It is "the temple of speed "

I've had my RMX for five riding seasons now. The bike has been flawless. Corked up she makes 41hp. Uncorked air box and exhaust like a Yoshimura RS4 full system along with a JD Tuner to richen her up. Just did this to my bike. Bike rips plenty for trail work. I'd guess around 46 - 48 hp, now and plenty of torque to tractor her anywhere. Best bike I've ever owned.

Keep it up guys.

This is the 3rd new Suzuki 800 video that I have seen with a chain derailment. Why would they not include a real chain guide to eliminate this possibility? The extra cost on the assembly line might be 10 dollars. At least the T7 and Toureg 660 have the mounts on the swingarm to add one. Unfortunately, the new Suzuki does not. A real deal breaker for sure. Imagine yourself in that same situation after spending 20K on your wonder bike.

Its only you guys and the bikes out there, help is miles away unless you stick together

In my mind, it was - and is - too radical to be immediately "beautiful." Like driftwood with wheels, it was shockingly organic in appearance. Only in function was the beauty fully appreciated. It seems that visionaries can be a double-edged sword. One builds a revolutionary motorcycle. Another gives the world the Chrysler K-car. For all of its brilliance, look at the grief the ancient Raceco Guzzi gave it at Brands Hatch in 1995. Yet, Dr. John Wittner was only slightly less a visionary, laboring under the deficit of captivity to that which already existed.

Surprised kevin didn't pass comment on the tyre dunlop developed for the big tz , ... the DUNLOP DAYTONA 200 !

All this [very interesting] chat about the big TZ , ... but no images for the uninitiated ???

HOPE to see a full review on the Vitpilen 401 like you did with the 801 SOON!

Awesome. Great finish and spirit throughout. I had dismissed the new Vstrom too, you made it look good.

I like the motor.... except for it chewing through camshafts.

That's a gorgeous sewing machine! :) Have you all covered the 2024 401?

93.7 is slightly less than my old Triumph Sprint 900. But 106.5 is nothing to write home about.
