I got my first one at around 34 or 35, although I'd had friends let me take their bikes for spin. A few short years later, I've taught myself a ton of stuff about my bike, and now I'm starting a $3000 performance build out. It's a lot of fun once you get started!

The only thing I learned today is that I have no idea what I'm doing on my motorcycle.

Indeed it is, perhaps because a rider can make so much MORE difference to how a motorcycle behaves compared to a driver in a race car. Now, I hasten to add the 4 wheel race driver is no less talented - what I'm saying is a motorcycle rider moves their weight around as part of the process, and that's a highly visible skill. And because it's so visible, it's also possible to see which riders are doing it well - or poorly.

Toprak is a beast when it comes to hard braking

Excellent video! I'm gonna have to watch it several times, though.

I raced on lightweights back in the late '50s and into the '70s. Our narrow little tires and contact patch was some tricky negotiating to keep from 'tipping over'. There's a lot to be gained from learning to ride well in dirt track style to transfer to road racing. Super video, technology has allowed examining the dynamics like never before.

For instance, motorcycles with larger rake will more easily readily fall over. And the stability of a motorcycle at low speeds with the tires rotating slowly can still result in a stable bike.

@@pogtuber5146 Not sure what you're after, but I'd advise you to explore for whatever "as it is" and then try to explain it, rather than busy yourself hypothesizing so much now and then explore to find what you're hoping for... Motorcycles with a larger rake... like choppers? They seem just as stable as anything else on two wheels to me... The dubious part is where their length is so far that you end up "fighting" to turn... and at some point there's a "break away" by which the gyroscopic forces holding the bike upright causes one or both tires to "kick out" of their line... and at that point the bike is out of control and can fall right over, but it's more like a car "braking away" into a spin out in my experience... Otherwise, even at 5 mph, just a leisurely roll... I can stand or even jump on a peg or running board and the bike won't so much as wiggle out of stability until I purposefully push a handlebar... BUT you do you, of course. I can only speak to my experience so far, and maybe you'll discover something... ;o)

True educational value. Thanks man

Legendary piece of ART

Thanks for the great technical explanation of different cornering techniques using slow motion, but I mostly enjoy how slow mo captures the beauty and skill of these riders of this extremely difficult sport.

We can clearly see the countersteering

Thanks for that. I understand how trail affects the handling of a bike better now.

Brilliant video. Actually seeing how the bike flexes under different inputs is super helpful.

You learn quick when you round a corner and there's a car pulling out or a patch of water.

Most of this comes naturally after riding for years, you just feel it after awhile. You can always spot a road racer with a dirt bike background on the track, Rossi is a great example of this. Great video dude!

Spiegato molto bene, bravo!!

Way more goes into it than I ever thought about... Interesting

​ @Mike on Bikes, I usually watch videos like this and cringe at the inaccuracies, perpetuated myths, and outright falsehoods. This was really well done.

I road WERA for years in the 80's. At 65 I still love carving corners. This channel is very good and truly explains the proper affects of hard braking, lean angles and acceleration. My Ducati V2 makes much of this easy, however the bike only does so much. Pick a bike that suits you and your riding style. Don't be afraid to lean beyond your comfort range. You will be amazed what you can do.(Make sure you are in a safe area to do this, void of cars, curbs and barriers) Most of my best learning moments were when I came into a corner way too fast, laid the bike over, kept calm, looked where I wanted to go not where I was going and I was woohooing all the way through. Next time I remembered that feeling and was able to increase my cornering speed. Good luck

Thank lot for sharing your knowledge brother....

Amazing video

I’m learning to ride track and increasing my speed on a CBR1000. Constantly you hear things that make you want to change things but what’s really cool is you explained something I do that I didn’t understand. I couldn’t explain to my dad or any of my friends why no matter what amount of engine braking the big bike gives me I need to drag my rear brake to feel safe entering the corner. I understood that under acceleration the rear shock extends, and Id love to add that on a bike like mine with a very poor turning radius the actual decrease in wheelbase actually becomes a huge factor in even making certain low speed turns without dropping the bike or pushing wide. But I never thought about the effect of braking on the suspension when entering. In no way do I pretend to be as good as those guys but thanks for telling me it’s not something to let go of. 👍
