The VFR was a really good choice. I find it more fun to use 100% of a small bike than 30% of a big bike (which is realistically all most people can safely use on the roads).

I love the cinematic effort that has been put into this video, it looks great, Alex! Congrats to the team on making it look beautiful!

Really enjoy seeing Gareth on the channel, great vibes and chemistry!

Had the pleasure of being part of a team for 2018/19, best experience ever. IOM is stunning. Fantastic filming and editing on video Alex.

Getting big mighty car mods vibes with the choice of cinematics and music, not usually a bike person but this was a very enjoyable watch

i love to live vicariously through people who actually know how to handle a big bike like this. im addicted to speed but don't have the experience and skill to do the speeds i want to do, and the speeds that i know those bikes can do, and i'd just off myself. i have limited myself to bikes under 150cc just to keep from turning myself into a long red streak on the highway

I love the recent motorcycle content! Keep 'em coming Alex!!!

Exactly right about becoming a biker! I've always been a petrolhead, a car enthusiast. 10 years ago i passed for my motorcycle license and i never could've had this much fun with just cars. Also it gives me peace of mind, i can now drive the van i need for my job and not hate it because no car could compair to a motorbike anyway.

I don't get the car guys who hate bikes. I absolutely love cars and bikes! Both of you got absolutely beautiful rides (I do like Alex's bike more).

Had an 04 Blade... Dyno'd at 141hp at the wheel, and 155 after full exhaust, power commander and tune.

I've had both these bikes and currently have a 2009 R1 ( great road bike). I still have the VFR400 , its in a sad state ( quite worn out ) but I cannot part with it . I love this bike soooo much and intend to bring it back to life to ride into my old age . Bikes dont have to have big power to give big fun and the VFR is proof of that . Fantastic engine , great handling , stainless exhaust (standard) and really well made plus they are beautiful .

I've had an NC21 and NC30 - I'd take the VFR over the Blade any day, however I would LOVE an RC30 :) Also that back shock issue is common - be careful of the down-shifts and the back wheel bouncing when going hard.

Man I miss riding. Post spinal surgery my doc told me never to get on two wheels again if I enjoy walking. But....watching you guys rip around such an amazing place kept an uncontrollable grin on my face for the entire video 😍 Keep the shiny side up and keep ripping it! 🤙

More bike content please! Amazing views and riding and its great to see Gareth here.

Currently in the process of getting my bike license and every lesson is such a blast! Been wanting to get my license for a while now and a little while back my dad all of a sudden got his. Plan is to surprise him once i have mine and go on vacations and trips together. This video defenetly got me more and more stoked! Thank you😎💪

So glad you and Gareth had a great time on our lovely little island! Thankful that the weather decided to play ball for the whole two-weeks as it really showed off how beautiful this place is (and so all the visitors camping weren’t blown away or rained out!!!). Looking forward to your next video, Alex 😃

That little 400 is the stuff dreams are made of. The fizzy little engine and the sweet as a nut handling, sublime

Went this year with my best mates had the greatest time... saw you guys in the paddock wanted to say hi but you were deep in chat with the honda racing lads..... Great episode on the bikes as ever and also great to see you and Gareth and Rory having such a laugh.... making memories....

Great vid and the production is on top level, well done.

Also got myself an nc30 (3 years ago now) Absolutely fell in love with it. If the brakes are not feeling great I fitted Hell braided brake lines and ebc sintered brake pads brakes are unbelievable now!

the nc30 has to be one of my favourite bikes. something about 4 pot 400ccs just puts a smile on my face man. same with the zxr400

Keep the bike content coming. So good!!! Best episode yet 👍🏻

It’s not touched upon enough: the sheer quality of these videos is inspiring - what a beautiful video and talented team.

So excited to see more bike content! Keep them coming Alex and Gareth!

I’m not a biker but I love the NC30 vfr400 I’ve always wanted one. Potentially your best episode for me! ❤

My first bike was a baby blade (CBR250RR). I once parked at a cafe very much like this after chasing a 600 up the mountain. I felt a little embarrassed to be parked up among all the big boys, as mine was by far the smallest bike there. An old fella with tats all over and leathers well worn, turns to me and asks what I was riding. I sheepishly point to my little bike, and he pauses for a second while thinking, then says, "Man, I reckon that'd be fun!" And with that, I was inducted into the rider's club. Been riding for 42 years, and I'd probably look like the old fella at the top of the mountain now.

That VFR is just a masterpiece to look at! I want one for my living room 😂

This year was my first year. I came all the way from Australia. It’s such an awesome experience that I’ll never ever forget!

My favorite video thanks Alex for selecting the VFR beautiful bike.

1000rr is the bike we want but vfr400 is the bike we all need. I would take that one in a heartbeat. 155kg 60hp is rapid no matter what some liter bike fanatics would say :) Ive ridden an R1, ZX10-R, Hayabusa, BT1100 Bulldog, SV1000s, and my 1991 DT125R and the busa also gets a strong recommendation. It was the first bike I've tested in 2005 (2003 model with powercommander and yoshimura pipe) and DAMN, I was a bit scared at first after riding the DT but it was the easiest to ride bike of the big ones. Very easy to handle at taking off speeds and manouvering in a parking lot for a first timer and throttle response is just perfect. Only drawback is that its decievingly quick to accelerate because its so comfortable 😵‍💫

I am absolutely obsessed with the vfr400 nc30, you could not have uploaded this at a better time! 😁😁 Amazing vid as always! :)

I had a nc30 when I lived in Northolt. If you ring it’s neck it doesn’t hang about! Good to see some bikes on the channel.

VFR ❤, I used to have a RVF 400 and absolutely loved it. Was still more fun than the bigger CC bikes I owned after.

Just took my lil nc30 out today to Matlock and you're right, amongst all the modern Ducati's, BMW's blah blah blah that were lined up she was grabbing a good amount of attention! As a ride after all these years she still puts a whacking great smile on my face! :)

Love the VFR. I had a NC24 for my first bike 💪🏼

I was over there this year and the whole experience is just unmatched. Best Motorsport in the world. The Mountain is awesome too, love that Island.

Can totally relate, passed my big bike test in May (turning 40 this year, did I hear midlife crisis?) and visiting the TT is about the only thing I have on my bucket list at the moment! Thanks for another great video, can't wait for part 2!

What a fantastic video Alex! Great to see Gareth back on the channel. My dad, George Douglass, raced the tt many years ago and won the 1000cc clubmans in ‘53 on a Vincent hrd black shadow. I’m hoping to get over there next year to experience it first hand. Thanks to you and the rest of the team for such great content.

Love, love love NC30. mine had 43k miles on the engine, valves still in spec! love the gear driven cams. just an awesome bike, so much fun

I have had over a dozen bikes, and the one I most miss is my rvf 400. With new suspension it was the most fun I have had on the road.

Just got my motorbike license a few weeks ago, at 31.. Rocking around on my old mans ‘94 VFR750, and i’m having an absolute blast. More motorbike-content!

My friend just crashed his honda rvf V4. He’s gutted the bike was mint, parts for these bikes are mega money now such a shame. Ride safe guys 🤙.

I just started the process of getting my beginner motorcycle license, and this video has made me shift me shift the process up a gear! Thank you Alex and Gareth for taking us on the journey. Can't wait for the next episode!

As someone who misses being on the saddle like hell.. The shots of you guys riding just makes me really emotional More motorcycle content please!

Awesome bike's boys. I had a fzr 400 back in the day. It's great to see Gareth back 👍🏼

Watching Gareth fly past you up the mountain was something else! The fireblade has always been my favourite bike, what a special video!

Fyi, the mountain road (i think the main roads outside of the villages are unrestricted)is unlimited all year round.. you can be done for dangerous driving/riding but you can go there any time of year and run the course with less traffic than near the tt.

This might be my favorite video you've ever done. Reasonably priced fun bikes for the TT was a genius idea & well done. Thanks

These small 400cc high revving honda are something else for sure! I had a 90' cb1 a few years ago and man. The feeling of hitting 14k , sounding like a race bike at full tilt, but barely toutching the speed limit is realy fun. I miss this little thing.

Yes!!! Love bike content! Been waiting for some from you Alex!

This was awesome. Love the variety of content. Not a bike guy. Fantastic idea. Very nice to see Gareth join again. Fantastic filming and editing.

I'm an equal opportunity car and bike guy. This was genuinely enjoyable. Great camera work and it gave this American who can't afford to ship his bike to the Aisle of Man for his own experience a good idea of what it's like.

I'm glad to see you're back on two wheels. I had a vfr400 many years ago until it was written off. I'm on an 800 now and love it. It is such a social thing with bikes, and I go out just for the sake of it, no plans, no idea where to go, just go. As you said, if you are thinking about it, do it.

As someone who doesnt ride bikes and never will because im getting on a bit, I really enjoyed this episode. What a great place the isle of Man is and great to see Gareth again. The guys a hero

I want my old NC30 back now. Thanks Alex. I had it in the same colours too, wicked little bike

So much more of this, please! Love from the US. This makes me want to plan a trip around this adventure!

Fantastic episode. Honda Fanboy having had a CBR 600, fireblade 900, and a fireblade 954 (never mind the multiple ninjas). Watching from Vancouver Island BC Canada the TT is a dream holiday.

The best advice my brother gave me "take the test and get your bike licence. Once you've got it they can't take it from you (well, unless you've been very naughty...) and it will only become more expensive to obtain as time goes on." There's so much fun and freedom to be had on a bike. A car moves the body, a bike moves the soul.

Alex I’m not a biker, know nothing about them, and have no interest in, but that was brilliant, really enjoyed that, kudos to you all. I live on the NC500, you should give that a go with Gareth you’d love it if you’ve not already been. Top man.

Amazing video keep up the great work. Always amazing seeing a bike video!

100% right about doing the bike test if you're on the fence. A year ago, I got a bit bored of cars and decided to do my DAS and see if I liked bikes. Wish I'd done it sooner. I don't ride particularly fast, but bikes are just a whole new level of fun.

NC30 was my first time pillion on a bike when I was circa 1999. That noise will never leave me

Great video and great memories from this year's TT overtaking on the 'wrong' side of the round on the mountain was really strange but awesome!

Great video again, nice to see Gareth back. Good choice on bikes, got excited seeing the little vfr, had an rvf 400 as 1st bike then weirdly as you have one too I moved onto a Ducati 748…then kids came along 😂 Like Alex I’m not tall and being flat footed at standstill on the RVF was so comfortable, hope you keep the bike was a great handling rev machine

Absolutely great video, definitely got me wanting to sort my bike licence out again and also that trip has been added to my list of things to do looked amazing

Love the bike vids! keep em coming! and i love how gareth avoids looking at the camera as much as possible XD

Firstly apologies Alex, I haven’t really been following you much lately but this episode was a blast. Totally absorbed from the 1st scene to the last. Just you and Gareth, having a laugh on great looking bikes, takes me back to when you both were engine swapping on your front driveway. Great video. Thanks Alex and Gareth.

So nicely done Alex- my fave video yet; as a driver and a rider I really enjoy all of your content now. Hats off sir!

did not this kind of content from this channel. but what a good change of pace. loved it

This gave me the most mighty car mods feels i have had from another channel in many many years. you could tell me moog did the music and i woulnt even think about it before saying yes. This video could also easily have been an hour long and i wouldnt have noticed the difference. Top job lads thats all i have

Fantastic video Alex, love how it started off on my favourtie biking road in the Trough of Bowland. Nothing on earth compares to the TT for me, glad you all had a great time.

Superb episode - enjoying your channel as its the first I've come across that covers both cars and bikes nicely!

The helmet mics are brilliant really feels like 2 best colleagues chatting away

Love to see you do more bike stuff Alex, glad your also not being stupid and sticking in your comfort zone. Good man!
