- "Body position is everything" - Mike Doohan
Do you know how important it is to position yourself on the bike in order to achieve? Find out first hand how special the relationship is between the BODY and the BIKE!

hearing someone speaks straight english in motogp feels kinda weird
Exactly!!!
@Knowledge is the window to the world: I think you meant to say "for sure..."
😑" I meant whatever I felt" btw, what's the point in finding a flaw in my comment ??no offense,mate
@@msreevishnu2810 He's just giving you more knowledge, as per your name, knowledge is the window to the world.
RIP Nicky Hayden
It’s obviously their titanium balls weighing them down
I think I can clarify. I’m pretty sure he meant Balls of Steel. Heavy, and low to the ground. Dragging the knee, and possibly the scrotum, lol.
@Ÿamada r/iamverysmart
Yeah probably 30HP of engine power is wasted carrying the weight of their balls.
Yeah, titanium is strong for its weight. but stainless steel is stronger with a weight penalty.
It's not common knowledge. so don't worry if you got it wrong.
When you mention weighing them down. it appeared you may have thought titanium was more heavy than steel or iron etc.
The comment appeared funny because it contradicted, IE lets go to the extream,
"It’s obviously their Aluminium balls weighing them down" (Almost everyone knows aluminum is light)
"It’s obviously their Lithium balls weighing them down" (The lightest metal, but also very weak and reactive)
"It’s obviously their "graphene aerogel" balls weighing them down" (Look it up, Not metal, but for the extream example)
SO!
hopefully after all this, you have come to the same conclusion I have.
It’s obviously their Uru balls weighing them down
!
Ÿamada titanium is very asf
I thought they were going say something about one of Newton’s Laws or the gyroscopic effect.
Same thing.....
You obviously need a certain speed
@@BlueSquad00not my fault they were speaking Italian
So uhhhh the bike balance uhhh theres is two wheels.. and uhhh weight in middle so uhh balance yea
;-) i almost write something like that
As a multi lingual person who's English in not my native language, this is how some people talk because they're trying to translate in English what they're trying to say or express. The "uhh" we do that while thinking of how or what is the proper term or words in English for what we're trying to say or express.
@@thelazycook5103 The point is, his input was absolutely useless. English is not my native language either, but I could go on and on about what to do with one's body weight while on a bike and I could talk about other things beside bikes too.
And he is a damn MotoGP engineer. If he can't even put two words together, at the very least they should have tried to find a different person to record on camera. Seriously, what kind of excuse is that? It's probably the easiest language to learn. If you are a part of a MotoGP crew, at the very freaking least learn some damn English, will you?
@@getsideways7257 So you spoke fluently from the very first day? Very impressive. Well done my boy.
@@dayfree2485 I started speaking fluently enough closer to my 20's, even though I didn't have any practical use for the language at the time (not to mention my native language doesn't even descend from Latin).
Not only he is a MotoGP mechanic, he was also chosen to be interviewed. In English. If you think he did a great job there, hats off to you... my boy.
I'm learning to love bikes. The connection between the rider and the bike is so amazing to think about.
get super bike 1000cc and go to track but make sure while u r taking the corners ur knees must touch the ground than come find me and tell me what do u feel
Then watch supercross dude
Incredible athletes these guys are !!
Tried this last month....

Just got my bike back from the workshop yesterday..
Im a F1 fan but man this guys are awesome!
People don’t really understand that these guys are damn near superhuman. Them AND F1 drivers. It’s insane what they can do and how fast they can react. I’m a casual rider and ride almost every day, and have for 23 years but put me here? I’d probably be dead before I made it off the front straight.
anyone with enough practice can be like that. They started training when they were kids
Those bikes are amazing.
People are so sore...look at the comments as if every body is a GP rider. It is fascinating to know how much riders move especially when it comes to leaning.
Unfortunately these guys are not the best in the world. You will learn one-day that everything is rigged
Really. I could have told you more.
Thanks for the best set up the bike
So.........how does a Moto GP rider keep his balance ?????? ......mostly I heard "errrr"
yeah because its eeeer balance :D its not balance as balance but its kind of balanced...
That was me today in my presentation today!yy
Wow...Doohan
VERY GOOD!!
Casey what a legend at the end.
Nice explanation
Nice sir
Superb 👌 video, subscribed
i still wish stoner hadnt quit motogp that soon
that's right
How does a TT Rider keeps his bike's balance?do they use same technology as in motogp
They don't use the same technology on the bikes, in fact they don't ride prototypes. And their body position is slightly different to adapt to a road with fences and houses threatening to kill you...
@@1wals1 you mean road legal bikes...? Great..
Not exactly road legal, but based on them with many improved racing parts
They use their heavy balls
Hello, does anyone have any kind of book sort of made by Mike Doohan. I mean, in google appears that he didn't make any but i would love to read something from him or some of his mentors. I already read Total Control, Twist II and The upper half of the motorcycle. Thanks in advance.
Casey Stoner :D my Idol
so you luv go fishing
By the time i got into motorcycle, and know about Casey, the first time I saw him, the way he talk, seems like his a likable person, too bad he quit and taking care his family.
clementealbiceleste it's a personal decision to quit, he got tired of politics & bullshit. And tired of ignorant fans, namely Rossifans. And you just demonstrated the last point. If there was only riding involved, he would stay, but there is lot more and Casey is kind of private person. He did race because he likes to ride bikes, he didn't do it for fame. So please, respect that.
DUcE Dev!lsTear YOU TRATOR U HATE ROSSI!!!
@@ducedevlstear2471 Indeed... "Too bad he's taking care of his family now". What kind of argument is that even? No wonder he left MotoGP for good.
nice
Very misleading title; you keep your balance the same way you do on any two-wheeled vehicle, you're sitting between two big gyroscopes.
If you will notice, the title says NOTHING about how a bike turns, nor was I looking for an explanation of that. And yours is rather poorly expressed anyway; I've seen much clearer descriptions of the forces involved in turning. The title refers to the RIDER keeping HIS balance on the bike, not the bike keeping its balance while cornering.
Also, wheels aren't gyroscopes as gyroscopes don't have friction with the ground. Don't talk physics until you learn physics, and maybe try riding a bike some time and stop yapping here.
A spinning wheel has gyro acting on it. Connecting two wheels will tend the gyros into the same plane. Two wheels in the same plane means upright on a motorbike. Counter steering breaks the single plane into two separate planes and the bike will lean into a curve. Also known as 'whatever, who cares?'
@@onevastanus Of course a wheel is a gyro........
@@onevastanus but they DO have GYROSCOPIC EFFECT... without, which, bikes don't work.
Back wheel turning (engine) makes it want to stand up and go straight, (counter)steering makes it want to fall over.....Controlling those two effects are all that is happening in terms of "balance" ...
You turn into the fall and that's what makes the bike stand up. A rolling coin doesn't have an engine, but it tries to straighten itself up to the very end thanks to that effect.
Obviously good riding technique ,
Use the damn pegs
Grip the tank
Bend the elbows
You are part of the bike now
It’s not hard to balance on the bike
All you gotta do is perfect riding technique
Nice! post more World Superbike videos please...
Body position is everything really true
Epic dumb down - same way that I did it as a 4 year old on a pedal bike. Physics
THANK GOD FOR CAPTIONS
Isn’t this basically how any rider balances on his bike?
you clearly didn't understand the point of this video.
What about sticking out tje leg before taking corners
Damn
They didn't say quite important thing which are their tires, they get VERY gluey when heated up
Ok sir
Semakin di depan
Its skill!
I wish they adopt the adjustability of rear sets and handlebars on consumer bikes. Saves aLot of money to an already expensive bikes
How I feel doing turn on my underbone motorcycle.
How does the rider stay balanced? I think has a lot to do with his G's in a turn. You cant be basically horizontal and knee dragging without doing a significant rate of speed. Cant be doing 20 and be like im gonna drag knee around this turn lol Although it would be funny to watch! The Gs are constantly smashing him to the seat making balance not an issue, the bike will always want to "balance" itself upright. By working against all the forces is what gives him the stability to hang off the bike so far. The faster you want to go through a turn, the A faster you need to go and B the more you need to lean the bike over. Since the bike always want to go back up right it acts as your counterweight to "hang" off the bike.
Actually, it would be theoretically possible to go 20 and still drag your knee. It all depends on how tight you would turn at that speed, since the straightening force is a function of both the speed and the radius of the turn (apart from how much of the weight is hanged on the inside or on the outside).
@1:28 he clicks it down to first gear like a street bike? is reverse shifting a preference type thing?
MotoGP bikes' gears are all down so they can shift up quicker
It’s not mandatory, there are some racers that do use the standard
Easier to click down to upshift when hanging off than it is to get ur foot under and click up, especially on right hand turns. Plus under hard braking it's almost kinda another anchor point, this might be just a mental thing tho, not sure if it makes any real difference at all...
It's NOT 1-N-2-3-4-5-6 but 6-5-4-3-2-1-N @Doober50569
When he said "uhhh" I felt that.
Do MotoGP riders just slide into the tank under braking? I don’t get how they squeeze the tank with there legs while leg dangling.
Probably the majority of speed is scrubbed off before the Rossi leg dangle comes out.
I really want to participate in this..
What bikes do they use?
Interview only 3 Of the Best Australian riders.
the wheels a large gyroscopes , what the rider does with those gyroscopes is the key , moto gp riders talking physics is utter bollox , they are talking subtle differences ... the confidence they have and the skill to feel the grip from those big gyros/tyres are the key , they have fast reflexes and feel , unlike most people... When I first rode a bike , many years ago , I was introduced to counter steering , I never looked back
And another gyroscopes guy... Please learn bike physics. For a bike like these ones you would like to *minimize* the gyro effect that gets in the way when you are trying to lean the bike at speed. While going slow the effect is simply unnoticeable. Turning the wheel into the fall is what keeps them upright, not the gyro effect.
Because the bike balances for you?
Cover shifting and using throttle control
EASIER SAID THAN DONE!
So to be balanced you must be balanced. WOW
Taught them everything they know...lol!
if i haven't seen all of them riding, i would think they are rookies and have no idea what they are talking about. zarco is the best " you have to move your body at the right moment. on straight it's bad, in corner it's good" xDD
Semakin didepan
oaeksokw
That's hard
So their basically saying they balance off of feeling?
I don't know
But that Mike guy looks high AF
That red eyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Next video: "How MotoGP riders get dressed"?!
Ha ha this comment made my day
That actually wouldn't be as pointless as this video is.
Like any other person riding a bike or a bicycle.
Was Jack Miller taking the piss with his accent or what?
No he's raced in Europe since he was 14 and he has to speak broken english/italian/spanish or whatever, now thats it!
Jarno Saarinen that's crazy. Not that long ago I remember seeing a post race interview with him and he sounded pretty normal for an Aussie
I think Jack went through a stage where he tried to come across as continental and exotic but people were calling him out on it so he reverted back to his boring old colonial accent.
He lives in Andorra so he's got that weird broken English accent going on from being around Europeans, Cal Crutchlow has the same thing.
Noticed this too, funny accent that i can't really put under any category. Weird!
Modern day gladiators!!
Does anyone know what classifies as a heavy vs light rider. I'm 59 @ 155lbs
Kevin Joven Thug life light
Basicly it's no different with regular bike
Really?
Forwon or backwon lol it's hilarious
Any time I need balance on my bike I give it some more throttle! And smile!!!!
where is rossi?
What is the point of this and what next? How GP-riders eat?
Not knowledgeable but enjoyable video 👌👌👍
i wonder how thoses guys keep the balance with the set of heavy steel balls they have.
Next video: How MotoGP riders change gears with thier left foot.
well that generally IS different.... changing gears on a race bike is usually upside down.
@@cliftonmanley3882 Or one could argue it's upside down on production bikes :)
Truth is: these riders altogether just manage to stay up on the bike whilst their bikes balance out by physics...
Truth is: physics makes the rider stay on the bike too. If you could 'switch off' the physics mid corner the rider will fall off as there is no centrifugal force to lean against.
The answer is the Practice
One word. Inertia.
Stoner look handsome haha
He popped into the 2nd gear? 1:26
DersNoNem it's reversed. one up and five down.
Fikri Gifhary not on a dirtbike! Really is this true
@@gifhary2134 completely false.. Motogp shift is one up, all 5 are down...
Yes he did.. He got launch control he worries not.. But we should probably use 1st gear
@@pepsiboy4274 that's exactly what he said you idiot..
wkwkwk ada tulisan semakin di depan
hmmmm
When a bike goes on a straight line, all it's weight and the riders weight push the tyres to the ground giving maximum grip n traction, but when a bike is turned in a corner some of its weight n the riders weight goes off the tyres which results in loss of traction, in this condition the rider has to push his weight on the outside pegs (if taking a left hander than one has to push his weight on the right side pegs) to gain the lost traction............
Are you saying a bike weighs less when cornering...
tires help
I searched `how to drive a motorbike`...
But TH-cam gave me this...
And the answer is? We really just got to listen to people saying that you shift your weight or some weights on the bike. Don't think we needed that part explained...
Forwan and backwan
Well the video didn't answer the question in the title.
Very pity with loris baz..he have big talent and potential but with his height and heavy weight body he can't show his talent
Nik Muhamad Taufiq Nik Mohd Zarami agree. Nature unfair given his rivals
why?
Fat tires and speed...
They use hacks
Keeping balance on superbikes is not a rocket science to watch this kind of video! Its just that one needs to improve his turning or cornering skills by leg movement and weight-shifting to have maximum speed at races.
Uploader said it in the title like its a tough thing 🤦🏻♂
Any normal rider can do that provided he has driven higher version/ high-power bikes to know basic!
the technique works on mopeds too. just at lower speeds, lol
Ant Laud Yes! absolutely 😂👍🏻
Thats why i meant why the hype!
you said a rider needed a high powered bike
you don't know what you are talking about so SHUT UP!!!!!!!
e. i or whatever ur name is 😂 if u really knew sumthng to add u wudnt comment "shut up" like teenagers! I commented to discuss not to entertain stupids like U 💩!
Like many have comment below the title is misleading and if this is how well Motul QC's their programs, I don't want to use their products. And the whole slow vs. fast corner demo at the end is ridiculous. There is no such thing as a slow corner without lean angle unless it's a group of corners that converts the racing line straighter and therefore less angle is required but still going through it as fast as possible. Or consider a dog-leg corner in fifth or sixth gear, that may not require full lean angle but it's certainly not slow. It's also amazing with all negative comments that they haven't sorted this video out, have they no self respect? I could only guess that they have young college grad working on this that has been on a race track.
Good video, but nothing to do with the video title.
Only people that have never ridden a bike with a motor ask this
That's bullshit. There's a lot of (bad) motorcyclists who don't move their bodyposition because they drastically underestimate how it affects them. Body positioning is literally EVERYTHING. It affects suspension, braking, lean angle, fucking everything. That's the point of this video, dumbo.
@@say-cred Not "everything". You could put some servos and a transciever on the bike and it could have been operated remotely (it would be very hard to do so at low speeds, however). But with the rider on and properly shifting his body weight everything is improved: acceleration, braking and cornering too. Especially if the bike's weight nears that of the rider.
Forward - NOT "forwan / backwan" lol
Couldn’t you find someone without such a thick accent?
No way. Balancing a 2 wheeled vehicle is very hard, especially something like a bicycle
Well it helps if you're Dani Pedrosa and you have the physique of a jockey (ie petite, small, bijou). Us lardy (that's fat to the rest of the world not versed in British wit) chaps don't stand a chance against the weeny guys. That's just physics that tells me the energy required to propel bike and a 50kg Dani is a lot more when you put a chubby guy on it.
Come to think of it why don't we have lightweight and heavyweight classes for racing??? Don't laugh they did it with Windsurfing nearly 40 years ago. Damn I never won in that class either....
I didn't understand anything to what he "just said"🤷♂️
So it's not easy to ride a motogp
What a stupid question. It's just the same as on a bicycle!
That's not a bike that's a plane.
