An excellent video, and thanks to those who shot it. For those who claim that the bikes are "over-restored", all I can add is that any vintage bike that's actually raced can never be called over-restored. During the time these bikes were first raced, the majority were always kept in great, clean shape. Anyone who raced a ratty bike back then made the rest of us very nervous, since those who didn't care for their bikes probably didn't care how they rode. And for those seeing and hearing these bikes for the first time, keep in mind that almost all of them are being "babied" a bit, and kept way below peak power. Back in the day, they were a lot louder and on, and beyond the red line constantly. So, add about 20% more RPM in your mind when listening to them. ;) And finally, despite the cost of having our hearing impaired from racing without mufflers, I truly believe that silencing those wonderful sounds has hurt the popularity and excitement of racing. Racing engines are SUPPOSED to scream. Just cover your ears.
Bravo, merci pour les images ,et le son (vraiment trop bon), et respect pour tous ces gars qui donne une deuxième, voire une troisième vie à ces machines légendaires.
il y a une chose qui me frappe à chaque fois, whatever the bike you drive, the spirit is still the same, GAZZZZZZZ……………………!!!!!!!!!!! Please don't change anything, it's the way we love bikes! Thanks for this superb video.
OK, ALL was wonderful, but those side car "passengers" were utterly wonderful. I can't express my feelings related to their confidence in their pilots.
Das war ja extra Geil!!! herzlichen Dank für dieses wahnsinns Video! Wäre nur noch zu toppen, wenn bei den Gespannen noch eine URS mitgefahren währe ! Helmut Fath und Wolfgang Kalauch wären glücklich gewesen
This is wonderful! :D Cannot stop watching this! Would love to be part of it! xD I do realize the bikes are made for racing, as there are no lights or plates... but oh so fun it seems!
Went to Brands Hatch in 1970 and watched practice. Everything from an F-3 March to motorcycles. But the most fun was watching the sidehacks going through Paddock Hill Bend. Sheer Courage!
Great video. The passeners on the side cars were brave and/or dumb and had to work very hard. Loved the Duccaties, Nortons and Dunlop. These old bikes seemed to hold their own against some of the more modern bikes. The Kawasaki Triples seemed to be pretty much as hot as the semi modern Crotch Rockets. I think I saw a Triumph. Beautiful engines on Nortons and Triumphs.
rob the log No better smell could come out of an engine, I agree! My 70' Daytona street bike runs on it & at bike nights with all those HD's, EVERYONE notices my little Triumph w/ TT pipes. Including their girlfriends!
Sehr schönes Video. Schade dass es fast keine Bergrennen für Motorräder mehr gibt. Wäre eine tolle Möglichkeit für die Biker um die Maschinen einmal legal auszufahren.
Argh! I'm loving it and have watched it twice so far. The MV Agusta at 5:50 can't fail to send a thrill right through anyone listening to that 12,000 rpm demon wailing out it's spine chilling song of heavenly evil! :¬D
If he bended over and picked it up where it was laying he would have taken the risk of being run over by the next bike.Better kick it to an out of the way towards a safe place place before retrieving it. Smart road marshal.
Great video but to be hones i can see these lads holding back a bit and i dont blame them but if you come over to ireland and see classic racing its on the edge stuff

what a beautiful video!!!!, never expected to find so many classic bikes in just one video. Thanks.
Love all the sounds. Old 2 strokes awsome. Singles with their rumble. Classic 4 strokes... Thanks very much for this one !!
that was amazing..I could almost smell the castrol R.and.the sound of those Vintage engines make ..what a great vid
Bravo, merci pour les images ,et le son (vraiment trop bon), et respect pour tous ces gars qui donne une deuxième, voire une troisième vie à ces machines légendaires.
Was great seeing and hearing the old Ducati singles, I had a 250 once, loved that bike.
Hear the popping? Notice the complete lack of torque? Can't believe how many of these old bikes run lean. Great video!
il y a une chose qui me frappe à chaque fois, whatever the bike you drive, the spirit is still the same,
GAZZZZZZZ……………………!!!!!!!!!!!
Please don't change anything, it's the way we love bikes!

Those are some beautiful sidecars!
Terrific "down 'n' dirty" feel to this one! You can smell the 'Castrol R' from a mile off!
Went to Brands Hatch in 1970 and watched practice. Everything from an F-3 March to motorcycles. But the most fun was watching the sidehacks going through Paddock Hill Bend. Sheer Courage!
Parabéns , excelente postagem !

Great! Should go there with my NSU 501 OS!
Awesome ! thanks for sharing these !
9:54 --> great rider, good confidence, good pace!
Loved the sight and sounds. This is what motorcycles looked and sounded like before they all had plastic bodies and computer controlled mechanicals.
GREAT SHOW. WHO WON IT?
Gänsehaut! Man spürt jeden Zündschlag.
These bikes are beautiful love classic bikes
Loved every minute!
Great video thank you.
Stanislav, the moto your were asking is Nimbus 22hp 750 4 cylinder..
This is amazing!
super video!

Did you notice the straight four 750cc Nimbus?
Correct me if i´m wrong.
But this is a Honda RC181 from 1967 or so. Not a Agusta!
Loving the sounds ,just wish I could smell them ! !, they don't make them like that anymore. Great video ! ! thumbs up ! Greetings from Scotland !
Yes I bet those old bikes smelt great :-) Castrol-R anyone?
☺ yes please !
Too right mate, the addictive smell of Castrol - R and methanol , none better!
I miss the 2 stroke sounds , n smells .thers a whif in the air .....:-)
rob the log No better smell could come out of an engine, I agree! My 70' Daytona street bike runs on it & at bike nights with all those HD's, EVERYONE notices my little Triumph w/ TT pipes. Including their girlfriends!
Very good video
dude this is awesome
Great stuff thank you...
fantástico gracias por compartir esta maravilla
the sound from 0:10 to 0:15... hear it with Earphones.... the sound will vibrate your ears ! different feeling it is....
Thanks!
Sehr schönes Video. Schade dass es fast keine Bergrennen für Motorräder mehr gibt. Wäre eine tolle Möglichkeit für die Biker um die Maschinen einmal legal auszufahren.
Love these old bikes :)
Beautiful Triumph triple nr 604, lovely sound too!
This video makes it quite clear, people used to be a lot smaller.
Nice sharing... love it
Argh! I'm loving it and have watched it twice so far. The MV Agusta at 5:50 can't fail to send a thrill right through anyone listening to that 12,000 rpm demon wailing out it's spine chilling song of heavenly evil! :¬D
I lol'd at the marshal kicking the piece away and then picking it back up and walking back in the other direction.
If he bended over and picked it up where it was laying he would have taken the risk of being run over by the next bike.Better kick it to an out of the way towards a safe place place before retrieving it. Smart road marshal.
Mathieu Smeets As a marshal I always kick em, been burnt one time too many! some of those pieces are hot as the sun !
bit was probably $1000 plus lol
how awesome was that diesel
brilliant.Taveri replica sounded great!
awesome sidecar action
And those sidecars at rain - what a pice of machinery !!
la nimbus de 3:00, turbo?
what classification would u guys put these bikes under? for example standard bikes, cruisers, duel sport, sport, super sport?
Thank you
great bikes! I love em all
Great looking bikes. :)
How was the audio recorded??
Fantastic bikes.
What is that wonderful space ship at 17:55?
I added this video in my music playlist.
Some nice stuff there. Great to hear the m/c's in full song. No twin Ducati though ? Rob
**_!£@
blue and silver bike at the 3;15 section?
How long was this track?
At 1.59 and 2.11 see the very rare sight of a foot-operated clutch, in use, on No 516, the Indian.
how many cc's were these? 50!
truly superb !!!
Oh dear lord that sound at 6:00-6:13!!!
even through the internet 4cyl hondas on megas have just the right note to make your ears resonate haha.
This was fun.
потресающе то чего нехватает живого честного железа
Agreed.. What bike is that around 06:00 btw?? Anyone?
BMW is a kickass piece of excellence!!
Holy shit! I've heard of dragging a knee, but those ladies in the sidecars were dragging an ass cheek!
das waren noch motorräder - das sind kunstwerke
why no info on makes an riders ????
What Honda is de Nº 581?
at: 14:51
Great video but to be hones i can see these lads holding back a bit and i dont blame them
but if you come over to ireland and see classic racing its on the edge stuff
Please spot the differences. In Ireland are hills but in Schwitzerland mountains.
Fantastisch!!!
