Yes TT2000 was an epic year! A 48 year old Joey pulling the elusive TT hat trick. And then killed just two weeks later in Estonia. What a legend. RIP Joey Dunlop
My 2000 R1 is set up very similar to the VH Team '99 R1... a lot of QB carbon on it and similar motor tuning... the bike was a beast back then and still is today. Now - I wish I was as good as this guy so I could actually drive it like it was meant to be!
Anyone know where we can watch the other superbike race which Joey Dunlop won? For some reason it seems as if there is no footage of that race. Ive looked everywhere on the internet and cant find footage of the race. I cant understand why as it was such an incredible moment in TT history for him to have won it.
I mean look how big he is on that bike. It's a huge disadvantage and he still blew em away. This guy (David jefferies ) I believe it was the next year or so was burning through new clutches not able to finish. Now that's absolutely pushing the bike so hard the clutch couldn't take it. He was winning when the clutch let him down as well. Sadly he ended up going down bad. He was my favorite by far
So nice to see Joey and DJ racing together. Ride on forever gentlemen.
A legend TT rider and an unbeatable personality, miss ya David
DJ what a legend, first 125mph lap RIP
"Yer Maun" and "Big David" they are legendary !
And McGuinness too. Plus Archie and Rutter another 2 great TT riders.

My favorite rider on my favorite bike. RIP David Jeffries.
One of the best timless looking superbike ever!! but the bike is nothing for beginner!!😉
Pure talent a great man ,gone but never forgotten.
R.I.P. DJ.
+m ej its amazing how much people in this are not with us today... RIP
So sad and the crash that killed him was due to oil on a flat out corner. RIP
Look how big he was on that r1 wow he was a true king.
When I seen him on Mad Sunday..."having fun"...a million miles ahead of mere mortals...pure class❤
It's amazing how DJ can turn that yellow V&M Yamaha R1 in everyone's favourite bike. So fast and dominant.
DJ vs JD...epic battle
Those V&M Yamaha's have the best livery in the Road Racing ever !
Fully agree , looked super cool

Ride
Some weapon , David the man.
One of the great racers
Michael Rutter "Yeah it was good riding round with Joey, you know, it was so fast bits where i'm so slow" so slow... comes second place XD
LOL I would be the happiest fuc.er on Planet Earth If i could take the 22nd place in IOM TT and he calls himself slow by taking the 2nd .... LOL
And he got to race side by side with the greatest ever on his last TT race ever.
Crazy now the new record is 135mph in 2018
Amazing how there's not that much talk about it one of the greatest TT races of all time.
Now 136 mph with Peter Hickman.
DJ was a beast on that Yamaha
He was a beast on the Suzuki too tbf

The one who won with the R1 at the tt isle of man right ?
DAVID!!💪🇮🇲👍
Today marks 21 years since he left.
Nice bike :D
Makes you think if DJ was still around who would be the king of the mountain🤔. DJ or Mc
If Dunlop wasn't on that pig RC51 and on a proper liter bike , he wins this race by 30 seconds.
Joey was given a new 929rr Fireblade and didnt want it he chose the sp1 over the blade.
@Shako 929rr, 954rr was 2002 by then joey had died
