Mate, mate, mate! Why do you think Australia has had sooo many World Champions? I know the answer as I’ve raced against some (well before they reached the pinnacle in success) is simple. They, like me, started out racing in the 250 production class in Australia! These bikes were all basically the same (just with all the road stuff removed, except the tyres) and with full fibreglass fairings. Not as slow as the ones you have just ridden, however it’s still relative. I was never as good as them and could name more than 4 times the amount of riders. So I will just name 4 (just to keep the numbers equal). Gardner, Doohan, Corsa and the other Troy being Bayliss (who I actually did race against). So, to summarise, learning your craft on a small displacement bike WORKS! The 4 racers I’ve named don’t need any explaining however the formula works, the rest is history... Awesome video mate! Thank you! 👍😎🇦🇺
Mate, I love your comments. Always waiting for them! 👍 I reckon my motorcycle heroes are all Aussie too. Do you reckons it's worth selling my SV650 and getting a MiniGP bike just for training? I'm not sure what my eventual goal is aside from getting good, but I'd like to enter a few clubman races next year maybe. In a car I was always considered a legend so I guess I miss those old days and want to be the same on 2 wheels haha 😎🏁
Nice vid your mate Alan seems like a top lad, nice interview skills .. your making us proud 😎💥 I like watching bike rides but too scared to get one 😅 I like my seatbelts 🤣
You mean Adam innit. Maybe my accent is so fu££ed up that a fellow Brit can't understand me haha. Thanks for the love bro. You still in Columbia? How's the Charlie? 😁
My plan is slow and steady and let my other mate Adam (there's two Adams) get the times while I just go for not crashing and set constant times. Fingers crossed 🍀
glad you discovered minis! try and catch a ride on an nsf100 or nsr50 if you ever get the chance. also, if you wanna go faster, TURN THAT HEAD A LOT MORE
i owned a kayo 125 (kinda meh bike compared to the nsf honestly) and had a bit of fun with it for a couple years. My problem with kayo would be them liking to lose parts and break down. here's some old vids from the old channel th-cam.com/video/1UjF1ykKLNQ/w-d-xo.html
My head hey...I still struggle with body position/form. At the time I think I'm doing it right then when I see a video of me from the outside I'm riding like Doohan used to. It feels natural but looks shite. Haha. I guess I need to keep on practicing. On the plus side my average lap times are 56.1 seconds and the endurance race has a "no faster than 56 second rule" so I'm safe in that regard. It's actually only meant for a maximum of 100cc bikes but the organiser really wants us to enter so he's bent the rules to let us enter with a 150cc bike but has limited the lap times.
@@bikehubjapan times will get better as you get more laps. forget bp for now (do shoulders over if anything) and work on vision. aim to the exit of the corner. the speed, throttle, etc. will come from vision you can practice this in a parking lot or wherever really including on your sv.
@@bikehubjapan basically all you need is this. th-cam.com/video/ZYMPwtz9ePg/w-d-xo.html notice how cranked over my head is. then once you get comfortable in both directions, add a second cone and make it a figure 8

They look awesome buddy, can’t believe the price though 😱 what fun they would be 😃👍
Excellent video. And that looks like a ton of fun. Keep the great vids coming 👍🏍🙏
Thanks Damo! Riding with Adam L and the Adam from this video as team mates. Should be awesome
@@bikehubjapan For sure. It's gotta happen.

@@bikehubjapan oh thought it was Alan.. that bloke from the start and yeah still in Colombia 🇨🇴 living life mate.. no Charlie just harmony 😅
Great video mate. What an awesome little bike. Good luck for the race to you both.
Cheers mate. I hope I can actually finish the race without breaking myself (again) or the bike!!!
They look a wedge of fun, good luck with the endurance race! :-)
My plan is slow and steady and let my other mate Adam (there's two Adams) get the times while I just go for not crashing and set constant times. Fingers crossed 🍀
@@bikehubjapan you'll see the red mist and pin it 😁
Just found out there is a "no faster than 56 second" rule in place. Im averaging 56.1, so I should be ok haha
@@bikehubjapan :D
Great bikes but I would take the engine out and put a 250cc or 125cc 2 stroke engine in
Can I say this is a groom and register one of these❓

also my friend Yukita is probably gonna be at that endurance race (also an sv guy) on an nsf
What is the wheel base of bike
I also want one motorbike
Top speed?
cc?
150cc....top speed? No idea...check the other video I made about the bike...more like a review
Another 1000cc rider that's completely confident yet useless and didn't know it.
Thanks for your comment. Did you notice the video title? FIRST RIDE. Come back and comment when you're not being a negative bell-end. Cheers
