Having seen all the greats from 1963 through to the modern day, I can say with my hand upon my heart that I have not seen another rider that was even close to him in terms of natural skill. He was a grade up from genius. I know that the machinery under you makes a massive difference to how well you race. But to Hailwood it didn't seem to matter. I recall one year before either the 350 or 500 race at the TT, his chosen bike wouldn't start. Some guy who had qualified around 25th offered Mike his 'second' bike. Mike borrowed the guy's second bike, a Manx Norton, and led the race, broke the lap record and then blew the bike up so he didn't finish. I cannot imagine Rossi, Roberts or even Doohan etc riding the reserve bike of a guy that qualified 25th and leading the race on it. RIP Mike...you gave me immense joy watching you race over all those years.

Nicky had 5 years on a Ducati. He was far from unbeatable in Moto GP with a total of only 3 wins over 14 years. He is one of only a few riders to win a Moto GP and a World Superbike race. If the bikes had stayed at 990cc with no electronics I think he would have won a few more races on the Honda.

My Idol. ❤

C'était un type prétentieux !!

Mr.Hailwood was bestowed with the MBE and the George Medal for valor.

I saw Fast Freddy at the T.T. Assen! Guess what, he was fast indeed! 👀👽

Legend

Twenty-six years of racing. I enjoyed every race.

Coming from a Schwantz fan..... Rainey was the best. "Mr Perfect".

Qu'est-ce que c'est que ce commentaire hystérique et BAVARD ??? On n'est pas en train d'écouter les commentaire des courses hippiques !!! Comment laissez-vous un fou-furieux nous bombarder de son insupportable verbiage, alors que vous pourriez nous faire entendre les sons magnifiques de toutes ces magnifiques motos ???

That cursed,tragic day we will never forget you Marco.you will forever be in our herarts.LEGEND SUPER SIC 58🙏

My Hero

Man I know the bikes are fast but do you have to talk that fast

this man make suzuki great

I’ve known Freddie since he was 13. He rode at our track OHR until he went pro. I always loved watching him ride. He tested and tuned at our track for many years even in a go-kart trying to rehab his injured wrist. I just wondered what could have been without the injury. Freddie was a remarkable talent and I’m glad to call him a friend.

Like Ayerton Senna Kevin give us something 2 Enjoy...Long Live the King...SCHWANTZ YOU LEGEND...❤❤❤...

Of course he was better than Rossi - Hailwood was better than anybody. I've seen all the best riders since 1962 and only one had his ability - Hailwood.

Hailwood is in a different league to Rossi. If Rossi makes a comeback after 10 years and WINS a MotoGP Race then, and only then, can the discussion begin (particularly as Rossi wont even race at the IOM TT)

Roberts senior,s achievement,s on track were matched by his achievements off the track. His contributions to rider safety & remuneration are unparalleled. He made the FIM sit up & listen. And listen they did! So to my mind. Kenny Roberts senior is the most influential GP rider. A true Champion on & off the track.

For him to get back on a 500 after those Dutch butchers in hospital stuffed his leg in 92 it showed how just tough as teak he was ,then to win 5 in a row an Australian legend all glory to him.

If Rossi had to ride one of those Dinosaur machines, on the mountain, he would have been struggling to get to Douglas Road Corner. Give me one of those "men" any day, and not one of these 'computer game' characters!

Both great but king Kenny was my favorite

what we don't know is how and why he stayed with ducati that many years.

Lucky lucky. He couldn’t beat the Americans until they left.

Mike was number 1 for me he retired at 27 won 14 tt races at world level from 20 odd starts these other guys who are winning so many tt races now is not at world level and they have about 6 races a year now and they have had many more starts.

Legend❤❤❤❤

He was the fastest until Lawson learnt the European track's

Guy was a fraud, he took down his own teammate to win the championship. I spit on his championship

Aku pengin tau dowel2 agustini,pasti seru

I met Kevin at the very beginning of his career, in his first year riding for Yoshimura when he came to the AMA Superbike national at Seattle. Where I was a club racer. He didn’t look old enough to shave yet, but he was already very fast…

Daijiro Kato video please❤

Philip William READ.. So many titles.. Controversial..but once on his machines..No. 1

Influenced me to get a bike. That’s why I call myself. 😜😜😜

With that much money, Jack Miller could put up a fence ten miles long. It was a good history and we should see a lot more.

Kevin was supernatural on the brakes and a driver with the absolute will to win. He was wild and spectacular. A great talent. Rainey is in the same league though, with the cleanest, smoothest riding style I've seen since. Both share the same podium.

Loros just won the Aprilia rs660 race against ACTUAL MotoGP riders while 2024 All Star Aprilia day in Misano! As he said in the Aprilia SR50 scooter spot "Fischia, è un aereo ! " 😂

Roberts, Spencer, Lawson, Gardner, Lucci etc stopped him but he was a great rider and fun to watch ! 👍

He could have had 6 or 7 tittles, maybe more if he didn't have that accident - and still won 5 consecutive. One of the best ever

I am passionate about speed racing. I am French and I saw Spencer in Europe in the early 80s. I am passionate about Formula 1, World Rally Championship and grand prix motorcycles. I have never seen a driver like Spencer in all my life, in all categories of speed sports. We called him E.T at the time.

Didn't even know he had a son . I am a massive Yam man , rode them all my life BUT I had to be patriotic when the trans-atlantics were on , but Kenny was a brilliant rider , and as mentioned a million times in dipatches , him and Barry made the series 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏍️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏍️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏍️

Bradl is underrated

The day reading the article In Readers Digest - when he said something like " I was out in front, on the gas, what a way to go" I wept - not knowing that a similar fate awaited me in 2000. Always my hero WR.

As it says on his gravestone: too good in life to be forgotten in death

Not even close, not worth talking about, sr.

Uno de mis favoritos, si no Mi Favorito en la historia del motociclismo. Él, junto a Rainey, Shwantz y Lawson fueron para mí los mejores jinetes de aquellas pura-sangres, o pata negras ;) y cada GP era más espectacular que el anterior. Gardner, Spencer o Doohan eran efectivos, pero no eran tan espectaculares, o sus máquinas estaban un paso por delante de las de sus rivales. Habría que recordar a otros buenos pilotos, como Crivillé, Capirosi, Checa, Puig o Gibernau, aunque estos ya formaban parte de la quinta de los 90. Randy, no hace falta decirte que en España te apreciamos mucho, no solo por la admiración como piloto, sino también por tu etapa de periodista de prensa y TV, además de por tu gran y generoso corazón. Desde Bilbao, una gran abrazo.

Nakagami really should retire now. Guy's not adding anything and is taking up a seat.

I wished it worked out better for him at Marlboro Yamaha. I loved the 1989 season , really got in to following the sport but he remains a fantastic rider and his achievements are impressive to say the least.

Freddie was a great rider. I enjoyed watching him being interviewed, he was such a humble guy.
