I love that he mentioned the fact; unlike other motorsport, there's no communication with the rider other than the pit board. Very human sport, not based on team management & input into the machine. Excellent explanation, great vid.

Denning is such a wealth of information. He takes the stock basic question and answers it very indepth, without pausing and with great insight. I loved this video.

I think that behind all the knowledge he obviously has, was a genuine interest and enthusiasm for what they are doing which then spilt over into him having an eagerness to share the information. As a WSBK, MotoGP fan and allround motorcycle enthusiast who spend a lot of time restoring and tinkering with motorcycles I found the interview informative and entertaining.

Paul is one of the most intelligent men in the sport. Great video 👍🏻

Excellent video 👍. Very informative. More videos like this would be very helpful to a lot of people that are new to this sport. Engineers like this are the people I find most interesting to talk to, usually far more interesting than the riders themselves.

Wow , awesome stuff- with all the secrecy around development nowadays it's refreshing to see someone explain all the basics , good on you sir!

Port polish head work with high end special exhausted = HUGE POWER !

This was a really great interview. Great questions, great answers, nice flow to it, very informative, with a great machine to look at and nice camera shots as well. Thank you!

was lucky enough to meet Alex and Michael at donnington, such good chaps and remarkable the quick recovery Michael had after his accident. thanks for the VIP tour and signed merch .

Awesome video. Seems like you rarely get an inside look in to these superbikes.

Thanks Street FX for the pertinant questions and big thanks to Denning for the amazing in depth answers ! Great video !

Completely and totally awesome! I am building a model of this bike right now, and love your detail shots and information. Thank you!!!

I've always wanted to know to what extent, the differences are between WorldSBK machines and their road-going counterparts. I never expected a team boss to be this open and exact with that info. Fantastic vid, cheers for clearing this up for me!

Really cool that Factory Yamaha open up and talk uncover some of the secrecy of WSBK

my comments are very rare, but I had to do an exception this time, excellent video thank you very much and Paul Denning explained everything so open, like revealing secrets! worth every second!

I had the great pleasure of driving the race truck for Paul for a few years during the British Superbike Time. Both Paul and his father John are truly gentleman, Sadly I was a little old when I started but loved my time with them. Good luck for 2020 Guys.

So informative...with no pit to lane communication this is indeed pure racing on your own...

Paul Denning is amazing knowing details and nice to hear

Thank you for posting, Superbikes are where its at!

Wow that was an awesome and very informative video, thanks for the detailed insight!

Fantastic chat between you two guys........cant believe its 5 seconds between road and superbike, a huge difference in racing terms but as an R1 rider myself it makes me kinda proud that without any formal trainning and having passed my bike test at the first go that I'm in control of one of these beast's. Not quite at those levels but pretty quick on the road without suggesting the police should look at me......wink wink.

Awesome video, really let me take a peek into this world.

I thought that the superbikes were more like slightly modified stock super sport bikes. But from a 20 thousand euro to 150 there are a lot of mods which i never imagined they actually do, and the weight difference is mind blowing.

Amazing video! Thank you for this

this is one of the best interviews with Paul i've ever seen

excellent video, great watch, much appreciated

I remember meeting Paul Denning at 3 Legged Cross at the Suzuki place , such as lovely bloke to talk to and he's full of very useful information......... I ended up buying GSXR1000 and leathers too 🤣🤣🤣

I love when racing is as fair as possible. Everyone runs either the same or very similar stuff making the racing close but as fair as it can be and that's incredibly important to keep the racing exciting but gives everyone equal opportunity to win.

This is an amazing video. Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting video.this gentleman comes across very well

I am a hardcore bike and car guy and i have to say this is one of the best videos i have seen on these absolutely amazing and sexy machines and also the rules and inner workings of WSBK💪🏻👍🏻🏁

Interesting stuff well explained. Thanks!

Exceptional work fella 🔥

Very informative after watching this video feels like I don't know shit about racing bikes Thank you to you and yamaha team representative

How beautifully he described every detail. I havent seen any other video from competitive racing teams to give out such information. Imagine having all the jewellery this bike on the road going version just weight 152 kg or so damn. I wonder how fast is this bike compared to moto gp factory machines. The power figures are close and the weight as well

great interview , well done

Great video, thanks

Great video thanks..

Great video and much respect for the Yamaha director. The only thing I frown upon is the "only 5second" per lap gap remark between the sbk and a regular R1M... These bikes are worlds apart from the street bikes we buy no matter the rubber we put on. Those 5sec feel like an eternity on the track. The average person may take the further step to think that by the same standards a 600Supersport "is just" a bit slower than a 1000Superbike.

Appreciate the comment - as a demonstration Alex Lowes did a 1m43s on a standard 2020 R1M around Jerez recently... Just 2 seconds off average WorldSBK race pace this year. A lot to do with the rider however, as many journalists were just over 1m50s mark.

Very good and informative video, great to see the teams take part in things like this.

8:52 "it's very much a gladitorial sport" Perfectly explained! Also, that's how it should stay

I didn’t know there was no pit to rider...that’s crazy

nice video very informative

When i was younger, i'm dying to just ride one of these bikes to the maximum... now, i think i'll die with the sheer power of these machines and my lack of ability to tame them... such a majestic and powerful machine...

Awesome!!!

awesome!

iam a simple man, when i see the R1 i just clicking the like button

Very detailed 👍

Awesome video . Thx

Can’t go wrong with an R1. Perfect for daily riding and track days. And obviously racing beasts like that machine.

Awesome video 🔥🏍☁☁☁

That's so cool 💚

It is wild just how much tech is on these things.... hard to say a bike is better than another.. it’s basically who has the tech sorted.

Amazing

there is no way to explain how a sports/super-bike feels, you have to ride it, there is no comparison with a car or any other thing on 4 wheels that makes you feel the same. They are in simple words: mind blowing

I work for an Italian company that is a supplier (test equipment) to Magneti Marelli. It is exicting to think that maybe some of our products test the ECU for this bikes.

how much for that built head?

I like the FULL ACCELERATION of this YAMAHA R1✌

Lap record for mmtogp 1:28.49 for wsbk 1:29.230 so impressive

Where can I find the swingarm??? I’ve been looking everywhere how can I buy it?

I like the sticker "SEMAKIN DIDEPAN"

Not a whole lot in it on a one lap flyer but those tenths add up over 26 laps

Then we also have a nice front fender which can bend into the tyre if the rider goes agressive and throws him over to the gravels.. We are looking into that...

Thats a beautiful bike

Yamaha R1M and a big big PATA logo :))

Paul Denning is a top bloke.

I wonder if pro racing riders have a fully custom traction control system that works very different compared to the standard traction control system to go faster and allow for more or less locking of the wheel? idk

The front fork and rear shock cost more than a standard biker?? Wow

Roxx 13 Appy Because the engine of the R1 and the R1M are the same and as you heard in the video, they actually change everything else. So the only benefit for them to use the r1m is to have more expensive parts not beeing used ;)

It's used to regulate how far is your front brake lever, especieally after few have brakings lever tends to fall inside so you use it to push the lever outwards. You can check my onboards too, know a thing or two about riding on a limit

This is a fucking monster!!!!

How do they tune the engine of a road legal R1 that produces 200bhp to a WSBK bike that produces 240bhp ?

ducati road v4r is probaly the cloeset to there sbk counterpart in terms of power the new v4r makes 240.5 hp with the race kit that pretty much at the same level as sbk bikes.
