"let's talk about oil" "yeah sure we need a bit of oil but I did 282MPH at 4am!!" this Guy guy is a madman and I hope he will keep entertaining us for many decades more!
Quite sobering when he says "anyone trying to do this is dead". Before anyone starts ranting, it's his life, if that's how he wants to live it then good on him. Just please don't die Guy, we need mad nutters like you 😂
Guy, you're a mad man, 282 on two wheels....I'm surprised you can get your bolloc£s to fit on rhe seat they must be that big.. massive respect and i can't wait to see you hit 300!..😱
@nickrider5220 like the corny saying goes power is nothing without control, that's what he's struggling with at the moment getting the power down properly..but he will do it.
Tyres, as Guy says, thats the limiting factor, and thats probably the cause of the crashes. At those speeds everything is prototype and seat of the pants. Bit like early aviation.
Guy needs a podcast, or more specifically as he would never bother to set one up or continue with it unless it's a special interest, someone that can record Guy just unloading his mind every week. I could listen to him natter on very happily every week. You never know what gems are gonna come out.
I used to have a sponsorship from Motul, all oils, fluids, cleaners etc. No money on top, only product. When we lost it we suddenly realised just how valuable that sponsorship was. That stuff is EXPENSIVE!!😮
Hi Guy. Just a few thoughts. Running the bike naked means the cold air is hitting the front of the engine and then wafting down the sides of it picking up heat as it travels past the bike. If you began with the fairing and had cone shaped air intakes with plastic tubes attached you could direct cold air from in front of the engine to specific areas on the engine or brakes etc. Also a huge splitter on the front and a spoiler on the rear would help with control and keeping the rear tyre on the ground, talking of tyres why not glue the tyre to the rim to stop it slipping. Jon p.s. I'm not an engineer and I'm rebuilding a Honda C90... Good luck.x
Hi its great to hear of the progress on the bike, if you can't hold the engine bak on the dyno you are using the wrong kind of dyno you need to drive the dyno directly so you have your rear wheel sprocket on the dyno flange rather than a rolling road type of dyno, its a lot of messing about but worth it in the long run. I'm sure you will achieve your goal Good luck
Think the guy wanted to promote the lubricants abit more , poor chap! Could have said this wouldn’t be possible without the help from morris Lubricants, so go out and buy!! haha.
Did I hear it right? 750hp going to the rear wheel? MAD! Think of the air friction- standard road bikes are pushing just over 200bhp these days and are capable of reaching close to 200mph. So in order to reach another 100 you need way over triple the power. One thing I couldn't bear in this video- subtitle guy, please learn the difference between brake and break. These are two completely different words.
#1:48 you cant measure 750bhp on a dynamic 😮😮😮😮 I confused . They do 1000bhp bikes all day long in the states. ON A DYNO. !!!!!!! I wonder I think one runs as bad as his Spondon gsxr turbo. . I think people get carried away with who guy Martin is. He's a bike racer. NOT a bike builder / tuner with 30 years knowledge actually doing the work on thousands of bikes. He's basically just like the rest of us motorcyclist who have a bike and build for a hobby. We've all done it. GUY just talks so fast trying to bamboozle people, faster he talks sounds like he knows what he's talking about. BUT DOESN'T
actually, Guy has built multiple bikes, i.e. the wall of death record bike was his design, the pikes peak bike was his design (it failed but he had very limited resources and time to make it), there's few more and many that we don't know about. He might not have access to the dynos he really needs but he surely knows what he's doing!! also please remember that in UK there's barely any rolling road dynos not to mention ones designed for motorbikes!
@@nialbarnsley4108 Guy is not a "Home mechanic" HE IS A QUALFIED engineerr, He built and tuned his own bikes he raced. Guy also works as a truck mechanic.End Of!
Guy IS a motorbike tuner! Tuned all his race bikes as well as others . and YES, he has been tuning for over 30 years too. Guy doesn't live in the states either, Don't know why you are comparing another country, Guy lives in the UK. He knows what he is talking about. Appears, you don't know what you are talking about.🤣

How can u not love Guy Martin ❤
“It’s basically a standard engine but everything is modified “ 😂 legend.
Can't get enough his knowledge it's astounding love it
Guy, you're a mad man, 282 on two wheels....I'm surprised you can get your bolloc£s to fit on rhe seat they must be that big.. massive respect and i can't wait to see you hit 300!..😱
It's not the speed that's the issue, it's doing it in a short distance.
@PLAYINGAROUND you're half correct it's both..speed and distance =300!!
I'd like to see Alan Milyard involved with Guy's project.
Only trouble woukd be guy wuold be retired b4 it was completed 🎉😂
Love listening to Guy's enthusiasm. Enjoyed your video
Great to see Guy still working on that 300 mph project, I'm sure he'll get there, the bike has more than enough power !
@nickrider5220 like the corny saying goes power is nothing without control, that's what he's struggling with at the moment getting the power down properly..but he will do it.
Guy has no idea how bloody interesting all that is, Fantastic stuff, could listen to him for hours
Great job Morris Lubricants supporting Guy. I try and buy your oil where possible
Please do a 2 hour chat with Guy .
He is a pure genius
I haven't used the oils but the Morris Chain Lube are brilliant

I get the feeling Guy could talk till the cows come home about his bike
@svracing3 humm, if only he had said something like that in the video several times to give you that impression, eh?🤣
If he survives 300 mph he will be immortalised as the coolest human being on the planet, if he isn't already.
I wish they'd give Guy a chance to talk 😂
`hi guys', so, why do you use Morris Lubricants? Well, because you sponsor us and give them to us for Free 🤩
I used to have a sponsorship from Motul, all oils, fluids, cleaners etc. No money on top, only product. When we lost it we suddenly realised just how valuable that sponsorship was. That stuff is EXPENSIVE!!😮
I have a feeling that Guy would drop the lube in a heartbeat if he felt it compromised even the minutest level of performance
Legend
Guy should go for two records next, the naked speed record and the totally naked speed record (bike and rider)
It would be so fascinating to really get to talk to guy Martin about motorcycle tuning and engineering

Good luck
@TheBlibo the bike being too powerful was the issue because the dyno couldn't cope.. I'm pretty sure he knows which dyno to use.
And that's all there is to it... 🤯
Man he could probably talk till the cows come home
large attachments as Mr Hobbs would say.

Why not get a set of billit crankcases made if you’re constantly destroying the stock ones.
Acceleration from 160 is scary
I thought guy was not chasing speed anymore

@19Robson48 I enjoyed the video and didn't need to know the different words you saw, and it didn't spoil the video.

@madb132 myself 40 years in the motor trade. ... he's a home mechanic. He hasnt been full time for years
