@@iTxip all other bikes haven't gotten the same rep as GSXR tho. Don't get me wrong, i agree with you 100% however I have yet to hear the same dismay for a bike and it's riders like GSXR has incurred.
@@MR_ii_5150 they sold a lot of k5/k6 gen (and every other year after facelifted) so they have been cheap and plentiful for over a decade. That means its been the squidbike for 15 years🤣
He can do definitely better than that, those are fast laps but not optimal for a driver of his calibre. Consider that on those track Moto2 does 1.36, generally speaking on most of the international circuits Moto2 are around 2 seconds faster (in 4-5km) than stock 1000cc bikes, so the EWC bike will probably be around 1.37 and the original one around 1.39-1.40 as optimal. N.B. Yep, last year Le Mans qualifying on EWC brings some nice 1.36.xx laps. Obviously, this wasn't his point, during track days with traffic and no real reasons he wants just to do some fast lap to make clear the differences.
That was epic, possibly the best yet. That poor young lad on the superstock running wide as he is struggling to shake the road bike with number plate, mirrors and indicators. So even with the extra weight, and you still have bog standard breaks on it right? You were still not loosing out on your braking distances. It’s unbelievably impressive. Great riding as well!
And it has ABS which kicked in a couple of times causing him to run a little deeper than planned. You could see how hard the young guy on the Superstock bike was pushing to keep Guinters off his tail!!
Hi Sylvain, Thank you so much for posting this exciting footage. Awesome to watch. Your talent was on display, truly amazing 👍🏍. Definitely a great advertisement for Suzuki 👍. Cheers.
Such a great video. So good to see the road bike hangin in there with full on race bikes. 2.5secs down on the full spec Enduro bikes is pretty damn amazing, shows just how capable the road bike is in the right hands and with slicks on ;) Can't wait to see more track and bike action, lovin' all the content.
Sylvain, could you do a video on how you break down your turns into parts, your turn points, where you plan your brake release, why you pick your apex points, and how you pick up the throttle differently depending on the corner?
Thats so cool, just goes to show that even a relatively stock bike with really good rider can still hold their own against factory race bikes! Well Done Mr Guintoli.
Nice to see an elite rider like yourself humble and mixing it with the mortals. Giving the guys some stick but all in good fun.. When youre on it and get passed by mirrors and a reg plate, it's time to follow and learn 😁
Sylvain, you are the Great Man! You can explain a lot of really useful things "within two words", not like many useless "experts" during their half-hourly or even longer "bla-bla-bla". Thanks a lot, all the best, ride safe!✌️
Brilliant my brother. Think of the stories that license plate can tell! It's why I leave my plate on my 2018 Aprilia RSV4 RF LE, like red bull... It has wings!
Awesome laps!!! Wonderful circuit!!! Insane but spectacular and extremely effective driver's skill !!! Glad to follow you and your TH-cam channel !!! Thank you
Fantastic riding as always, it reminds me why I bought the gsxr myself, shame i cant ride it like that. Ha ha. I do alright for an old fella, knowing ones own abilities stops me getting hurt generally. Great series sylvan, look foward to watching as the bike develops.
Salut Sylvain, always a pleasure to see your videos and learn a bit more from you. Knowing that competition bikes have reverse shift (foot down to gear up and foot up to gear down), how you do on your road bike? Have you replicated it on your road bike? If not, how do you do to change and adapt such a critical procedure? It must be very demanding mentally!!! I'd get all mixed up! Cheers from Portugal
That British number plate is like our dinner plate (la grande assiette) in Australia and must impact the top speed. Excellent video and skills show...as usual M. SG 🏍
Wow, only 3 seconds of World endurance pace. And with just slicks and öhlins suspension, wich show that those and your own skill are the best investments to go faster on track 👌
Yeah, the difference between when Sylvain runs out of talent and us mere mortals is that he stays on on the tarmac, just lost a second or two. When we run out of talent, it's often a lot of "grass, sky grass, sky, grass" and broken bike involved... :)
@Greg I was being a little exaggerated in my description. I do track days, at moderate speed. I'm usually quite safe, but have, like many others, I'm sure, had a few spills - only one of those I blame on someone else's riding. I'm too afraid of running out of talent to try really hard, if that makes sense...
That made me laugh out loud. The guy is so super humble and real. Yet his running out of talent is the rest of us - well me - binning it and going home crying to mum 😂😂.
Keep the bike road legal Sylvain! Maybe just have a play with the sprockets and a little map tweak? Be great to see how quick you can make this machine but with all the oem features.
Fantastic channel! I love seeing how bikes compare to race versions. Everyone claims one is so much better than others. But it looks like it’s 90 percent setup/electronics. I guess all the power is only relevant on the straights. I’d like to know your thoughts about the crossplane. Gimmick or as a racer, does it make a small difference?
Suzuki should use you for their adverts, this is the best advert for showing off the roadbike i've seen, to keep pace with a superstock raced trimmed bike was cool af, ok it does need the talent of a great world class rider, but its possible.
Thank you for yet another great video!...love them all!...Merci Sylvain, tu es un gars super sympa, j'adore to style de conduite et tes vids de motos...amities de la part d'un " ancien" franco -sud africain, fou de moto !...all the best and please carry on with your fantastic channel!! cheers!
Don't think that you had run out of talent at all,, you showed what you had done on the road version,, and bloody great to watch,, well with 3ooo pounds off suspension,, really like your channel ☘️☘️☘️😁😁😁thank you 👍👍👍
The road bike vs David checa ..... damn that was soooo much closer than I thought it would be (esp with 2 great riders - which makes it a fairer comparison).
As always, fantastic footage! Thanks alot for taking the effort to create this content! Very interesting indeed to see the differences between road and superstock. There's just one thing I noticed: the telemetry graphics seems to be ahead of the actual video footage (or the footage is behind the graphics). It's noticable when decelerating and also when looking at the lean angle. I believe it is possible with racechrono to offset the video with the data, so that they are back in sync again. Again, merci beaucoup!
In these onboard laps, I didn’t touch the rear brake, just used the engine brake. When I talked about locking the rear, it’s the engine brake that locks it. Basically when I brake VERY hard, the rear wheel doesn’t have much contact with the ground so at that moment it’s easy to lock it. Actually this is very long to explain, I should make a video about what goes on when braking very hard 😄
The bikes talent ran out I’m sure. Pretty incredible performance on a road bike, the Suzuki is an absolute beast (in your hands ✊) I can only imagine the faces in the paddock as you ride past with the massive number plate 😂
Wait... your best lap @9:19 was a 1:35.9? On your bike? The SERT team qualified last year at 1:36.991 1:36.999 1:37.121 !!! Even if you meant 1:39.5, that's just amazing fast! Thanks for these videos. Love them!
2 thumbs down will be from David checa and the other suzuki rider. 😁 Fantastic video and riding Sylvain. So cool to see what a "roadbike" in the right hands is capable of.

This riding on a road bike is insane. Does it still have abs connected?
This bloke is the best advert for a gsxr1000r
I was going to say the exact same thing!
GSXR gets a bad rep from all the squids and terrible riders on the road, sadly... the GSXR is an incredible platform... especially the new one
@@MR_ii_5150 Any of the road superbikes of the last few years is more capable than 90% of the riders.
It all comes to flavors really.
@@iTxip all other bikes haven't gotten the same rep as GSXR tho. Don't get me wrong, i agree with you 100% however I have yet to hear the same dismay for a bike and it's riders like GSXR has incurred.
@@MR_ii_5150 they sold a lot of k5/k6 gen (and every other year after facelifted) so they have been cheap and plentiful for over a decade.

I absolutely love that you've kept your number plate on the bike while you're out passing people on the track.
I agree. 😎
@@Pxmediainclosangeles Me too!
Sylvain just proved what most racers already knew which is the best performance part you can obtain for your bike is working on your own riding.
That and a bike witch is proper set up. Without good suspension and tyres he to is gonna struggle
I can't believe how quick you are on the road bike, oh my god.
He can do definitely better than that, those are fast laps but not optimal for a driver of his calibre.

Sylvain really out here making it hard for weekend warriors to make excuses...
Yamster, it is not a triumph, you would not be interested!!!
Touché😂😂
Just having fun mate 😎
Sylvain Guintoli Sylvia, love you mate! You live near me near Mallory, Yammie is in the US, he doesn’t understand our ways... 😂

"I overtook Sylvain!!!" "Don't get excited son he was on a road bike...."
The "BESTEST" onboard I have ever seen. Watched 3 times in a row.
One word: phenomenal
Absolute privilege watching what a road bike can do in the hands of a master. Thanks for posting Sylvain.
On board footage were never this much fun and informative
I love how humble you are
Awesome vids as usual 🤘🏻
You are such a nice guy Silvain. Great fan of you. Wish I would have a opportunity of learning from you one day. :-)
That's what these videos are for!
Amazing rider Sylvain really showing your class with a stock bike.
Sylvain your humility is so refreshing, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Fantastic, Sylvain. So fast with the stock engine and gearing! This is a great series of videos. Thank you.
Such smooth speed is almost hypnotic!
Great to see an expert in action, and having fun too.
52 degrees lean angle on a road bike???? Crazy. This is a great channel.
That number plate ia really helping to brake...wait, no, maybe the mirrors...🤣🤣
This was grate!
Who could possibly watch this video and not smile all the way through? Utterly brilliant! Best Frenchman ever (including the wonderful Fabio)
Hi Sylvain,
Thank you so much for posting this exciting footage.
Awesome to watch.
Your talent was on display, truly amazing 👍🏍.
Definitely a great advertisement for Suzuki 👍.

The best bike content on TH-cam. So informative and always great fun to watch. 👍🏻👍🏻
Sylvain, could you do a video on how you break down your turns into parts, your turn points, where you plan your brake release, why you pick your apex points, and how you pick up the throttle differently depending on the corner?
Loving your content and I'm excited to follow this project step by step
Epick stuff!! You are making me miss my GSXR / sport bikes and track days big time with Your content!! Superb stuff
That was the most fun I had all week. Thank you 🤙
"I ran out of talent" ......That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time !!!
Thats so cool, just goes to show that even a relatively stock bike with really good rider can still hold their own against factory race bikes!
Well Done Mr Guintoli.
Stunning, thank you sir.. That track is brilliant, totally agree ..
Nice to see an elite rider like yourself humble and mixing it with the mortals. Giving the guys some stick but all in good fun..
When youre on it and get passed by mirrors and a reg plate, it's time to follow and learn 😁
That shows that you don't need a top spec bike to have fun and be fast. Sylvian you're a legend 👍
Brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed the cheeky commentary. Keep 'em coming!
Sylvain, you are the Great Man! You can explain a lot of really useful things "within two words", not like many useless "experts" during their half-hourly or even longer "bla-bla-bla".
Thanks a lot, all the best, ride safe!✌️
I really appreciate u giving us the lean angle. First time seeing it on a TH-cam vid.
appreciate these videos soo much! thank you for your time and for passing on your knowledge.
I also watched the French version of the video as it came out first! I don't even understand French! But it was incredible to watch anyways!
Unique perspective,thank you as ever Sylvain.
Brilliant my brother. Think of the stories that license plate can tell!
It's why I leave my plate on my 2018 Aprilia RSV4 RF LE, like red bull... It has wings!

I used this video as inspiration for my track day tomorrow :)

On most road bikes you can flip the shifter linkage upside down to reverse the shift pattern
That British number plate is like our dinner plate (la grande assiette) in Australia and must impact the top speed. Excellent video and skills show...as usual M. SG 🏍
Big up to you, great fun and entertainment. Really emphasises how much better road bikes are than 99.9% of road riders.
2:35 absolutely priceless grin
Wow, only 3 seconds of World endurance pace. And with just slicks and öhlins suspension, wich show that those and your own skill are the best investments to go faster on track 👌
Wow some amazing racing going on just comes to show you what parts do to the bike. But dang the way that kawasaki pulled away on that corner 😳
You Definitely Humbled many Riders on your *Road Registered Gixxer* Great Work Sylvian - Respect💪😉👍
That's really cool with the onboard data. I cannot believe how late you were braking into the corners. Great stuff, Sylvain.
Sylvain, we really enjoy the videos and information you provide. Great riding, cheers!
Excellent Sylvain. Thank you. Keep them coming.
My favourite video so far! Love stuff like this! Great onboard, full gas, with some interesting comparisons to the other bikes!
Amazing stuff. Thanks so much for posting. Makes it abundantly clear that talent far outweighs how trick your bike is.
Thought I was watching WSB qualifying on the Playstation 8! Awesome riding Sir! You are 👌🏼
Brilliant riding. You are a champ!
"Running out of talent." ??!
Yeah... Right....
World champion.
Yeah, the difference between when Sylvain runs out of talent and us mere mortals is that he stays on on the tarmac, just lost a second or two. When we run out of talent, it's often a lot of "grass, sky grass, sky, grass" and broken bike involved... :)

From India , lovely man on lovely
m/c , merci mec BRO .🤩🥰😍🔥💓💖💗💞💥

great stuff Sylvain, i'm following for all the info on stock vs motogp and sbk; great video quality and good voice over, all the best
Another fantastic upload. Thanks 👍
Awesome videos. Love watching them. Keep them coming for sure.
Sylvain, you made a number of comments on locking the rear brake, is it “linked” brake, or you literally push on the rear brake while braking ?
Interested as well
He has a video about how to use the rear brake, check it out, it's good stuff.
Kai Clarkson i’ve seen that video, i’m particularly interested in what he used while filming this episode.
In these onboard laps, I didn’t touch the rear brake, just used the engine brake. When I talked about locking the rear, it’s the engine brake that locks it. Basically when I brake VERY hard, the rear wheel doesn’t have much contact with the ground so at that moment it’s easy to lock it. Actually this is very long to explain, I should make a video about what goes on when braking very hard 😄
@@SylvainGuintoli Thanks for the explanation man, very informative, but a video sure will be useful for a lot of us :)
One pilot close to his fans and a bit fast! Aïe, aïe, just very fast 💪👍🤗😁
The bikes talent ran out I’m sure. Pretty incredible performance on a road bike, the Suzuki is an absolute beast (in your hands ✊) I can only imagine the faces in the paddock as you ride past with the massive number plate 😂
Great content and should be a must watch for those that seem convinced that certain bikes are not fast enough for their egos 🙈
Sylvain could you please do a video on racing in the wet? MERCI :-)
Sylvain thank you for the brilliant content
Awesome riding!
Do you guys change gearing depending on the track? Or do you guys usually have a higher gearing for torque ?
Mega footage Sylvain, think the black and red Suzuki at the start is the British endurance racing team bike
Loving these videos SG! 👌
Wait... your best lap @9:19 was a 1:35.9? On your bike? The SERT team qualified last year at 1:36.991 1:36.999 1:37.121 !!! Even if you meant 1:39.5, that's just amazing fast! Thanks for these videos. Love them!
he indeed says "1:39.5" in the french version, and that's still blazing fast
4:58 he nailed that exit that drove out hard
Great video 👍👍👍
Please post more 🙏🙏🙏
Love watching your channel. My wife says I spend too much time with you though haha.
So can you take a used R6 and turn it into a race bike without breaking the bank? (Quickshifter, tires, take off lights/plate?)
Thankyou another great video. 😀😀
2 thumbs down will be from David checa and the other suzuki rider. 😁
Fantastic video and riding Sylvain. So cool to see what a "roadbike" in the right hands is capable of.
Cómo metieron al video el ángulo de inclinación? Con qué cámara, app o software?
Great video keep up the great content 👍
Great video! What gearing changes do you think you would make for the track?
I would start with 2 extra rear teeth on the sprocket, test, then more if necessary
Just awesome!
So cool. Crushing it on the stock bike. I might have to get a Suzuki GSXR 1000 now. lol
Brilliant - if only I could ride like that ha
