    I like this kind of video. Makes me want to get a vintage bike now. Sucks they crashed out during the first lap. Better luck next time boys

    MCN? MCN!!!!!
    Wow, I'm really enjoying how you guys are stepping up your game in such a large way! Your "feature pieces" like this that are going way beyond just reviews are great. I would love a mix of reviews and "stories" of this caliber. Michael is doing a terrific job of being our host in kinds of situations. Keep it up gang!

    God the music is shite. Did the director think it would make people go woooaah, bikes are cool, I'm gonna get one so people think I'm cool.

    Great video. Sorry for the team, but seems like no one hurt anything more than their feelings (and presumably wallet(s)) - which has to be a good thing. And best wishes to Jamie in his fight against the bad health again!

    I owned a 1981 Katana 1100 back in 1987. Back then they were a weapon, if somewhat uncomfortable? There was a Limited Edition "Wire Wheeler" produced here in New Zealand for production racing, which had different carbs and cams to the standard model, as well as wire wheels, which were the same as the factory wheels, being 19 inch in front, and I THINK 17 inches in the rear? The carbs on this bike appear t ne the same Flat Sides as were on the Wire Wheeler here, so I would be interested to know the specs of the motor.

    That's a shame. Poor Michael looked so disappointed. Not ofton you'd get the opportunity to race with two motorcycling legends. Hopefully they get a chance to do it again.

    I really know how you must have feelt.
    my first track day was in the wet with my dad's bike. Got to the 4th corner and lost the front breaking.
    shitty fealing to see everybody else drive and stand on the side.
    But as you said: thats racing, and its allways great fun

    Michael every time you do a piece like this you get better. At some point MCN might lose some of your time to a more mainstream TV presenting job. As others have said this kind of work shows that MCN are committed to providing top quality content. Keep it coming !

    @NDM_NZ 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really well produced film, nice work MCN. I feel for the whole team, hopefully you'll all be back with a great result next time. Good luck.

    Mr Neeves is the best bike journalist on TH-cam. Watched him for about 3-4 years now. Handled that so well.
