One of the tuffest, gutsiest riders ever. True grit. Proud Australian.

Doohan, Gardner and Swantz, three of my favourite riders when I didn't care which guy won coz they were terrific riders. I'll never forget Mick's synchronized double high-side with Pierfrancesco Chili at the 1990 German GP and PC trying to reattach his fuel tank so he could get back in the race. Probably one of the most iconic moments in Motorsport.

The best ever , loved his riding style and his fighting determination to keep on racing and winning despite injury , what a champion ! 👍

Mich Doohan not just folk hero and legend,also great ambassador for Australia. Thankyou Mich for all the wonderful memories.

For me the Doohan years were the best 👍 that journalist is one lucky fella.

He was so good that in an era when lap times were improving significantly each season race times were slower after he retired. The greatest racer of all time.

You’re a bloody legend Mick 😎 Thanks for the memories.

The best, of the best!!!! All time GOAT...

Saw them both ride, both brilliant and even managed to get Spencer’s autograph at the transatlantic trophy races at Donington Park. Both top notch.

@@stevebridges5828 "Toss up between him and Freddie Spencer, both brilliant" Love both these guys, my feeling is that Freddie had more natural talent (but much less sheer grit), he was my favourite for many ears but honestly, now I think the best rider of all time is Marquez.

5 world championships on arguably the nastiest, most vicious motorcycles ever built! Absolute awesome! One of my two all-time favourite riders (the other being Freddie Spencer), but anyone with a 500cc championship, regardless of your allegiance, is a legend!

So dominant when he was racing, he had so many competitors well covered

Deadset legend. Does Australia proud.

Racing Royalty. Doohan and the NSR500.

The greatest

Great interview. Bloke knows his history 👌

That 1989 NSR500... Rothmans Livery, gold wheels, Eddie Lawson's #1... All things combined, probably the best looking GP bike ever

This guy gets it.

With the injury he suffered and won 5 in a row with all the top riders of the time involved though his racing years,, brilliant video thanks for sharing it with us,,,

My favorite bike racer from when I started watching in 89/90. What a style, and what absolute true grit!

Legend 🇭🇲

Best rider ever. Awesome humble legend

Talent,class & zero arrogance.

So appreciate Mr. Doohan's determination, winning 5 consecutive championships despite the injuries. How unfortunate that his main competition, the Americans, were either retired or ending their careers. Think of the epic battles that might have been. Hat's off to you Mick.

Love Doohan. How he rode so busted up is beyond me!

I bet 80% of the crowd wouldn't know who the grey hired guy with a limp is a 5 times world champion

Really enjoyed how you interviewed mate . Thankyou . Get on the Remy Gardner train mate

Great interview. That would have been an awesome event to attend, and yep, this vid makes me really miss my Honda (ACURA) 1988 Integra. I feel the need for another Honda in my life now......haha! I was fortunate to see Mick race the 1990 USGP.

Total racer....My fave.

Proper legend man👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Mick's the Man !

Top man 'the thunder from down under'

Don't have to say much his riding spoke for itself and top of the world for that long

Calm before the storm and its still blowing !!!!

What a star he was .

He had the talent and the mental strength to dominate.

u are true legend bos

Legend ✊🏻

Great interview

Shout out to the guy at 1:10 wearing the Yamaha t shirt at the Honda stand 😂

💯 the best ever

Humble. Modest. Non-controversial. A well respected World Champion. Definitely one of the greatest.

When I first saw Doohan, on tv around 1994 - he had the speed and style that takes your eye ...25 years on and Max Verstappen, yes different race class entirely but Max left the very same impression. Essentially their talent, speed and pizazz stood out from every one else.

Nice corporate shirt,Mick's wearing. It's a pity the public can't buy that Honda apparel. The seem to be too focused on "street wear" type clothing..hoodies and t-shirts with large gaudy Honda insignia emblazoned across it. Mick's shirt is very classy and should be available to the public.

Erm.. I see clouds behind you mate.

You see: most racers stayed slender.

Doohan has all 5 of his winning bikes, I believe.

This interviewer was quite frustrating to watch an you could see the frustration on Micks face. He opens the segment saying that he's there to talk about the NSR500, an then during Micks spiel about the difference in models each year, the interviewer practically cuts him off to ask him if he use to own a Ute and a German Sheppard.. yes, people here are attending a motoring event but lets hear more about the Dog you may or may not have owned at some point 🙄

Not a cloud in the sky 🤦🏻‍♂️

This guy interviewing is just terrible. Instead of just trying to show the knowledge he did not have he should just try to do his job: interviewing a legend!

He could only win on a Honda. . .
