2007 CBR600RR with James Toseland at Barber Motorsports

[TokyoThai]

The pros are on a whole nother level. Hes passing the other riders on only a 600cc

[Voldness]

CBR is the best bike all day long.

[pjonespo]

I've been lucky enough to have the pleasure to ride on track with James....well I say "ride with", what I actually mean is he outbraked me into Redgate at Donington on a Bennetts trackday a couple of years ago with the back end skipping out. It was awesome to watch and I had the chance to have a brief chat with him, such a nice guy. Gutted he lost his GP ride but hey ho, I'm still wishing him well!

[AfterMath805]

if a honda has 35k miles on it and has been used for track days but has been maintained properly does it still have many miles to go before it starts to break down?

[muslimdestroyer1]

yeh, he's a legend alright.... no one will ever forget how bad he was at Motogp

[bakhirun]

Umm, it would be nice to see the "full-motion" version of the video, instead of the flip-book-type 8fps one. What was it shot with? Is it a YouTube loading problem?

You can hear what a sludgepot that Honda is from the downshifts. Those 600cc tubs are a handful on a point-and-squirt course like Barber (and, alas, the great majority of those on the MotoGP schedule). Would be nice to see the British gentleman doing similar practice laps at, say, Imola, Monza, Hockenheim or Suzuka.

[tunelliner]

bloody amazing clip!

[nonmiricordoilmome]

7 volte li ha doppiati!!!!!!

[javawhz]

lol, he passed all those "racers" like they were standing still..yikes!

[MotoSpeed0]

I was going to say something cheeky, since Barber is my home track. But by lap 2, James was RAILING! Props....

[shadorius]

awesome ride love the CBR

[NesNeedsBoost]

1:30 sick move!!

2:25ish....I hardly see people get that uphill offcamber righthander correct. JT did it effortlessly.

Gotta aim for the blind apex and let it shoot you back out. So many people here try to go wide and risk a nasty lowside/highside from getting on the gas too hard while leaned over.

[Alessio571]

I loved the clackson test at 3:42 :D

Toseland is an amazing pilot. Gj posting this video :)

[lgga]

wow

just a real world champion can take very seriously a bike test

it looks if was a superpole!!!

GO JT!!!

[siricerx91]

James Toseland is SUPER SUPER FAST. We can only wish to go that fast

[dolphinDog]

Not many people EVER get that view. Thank you for posting it. Rad. He rides incredible when someone is in front of him, if only for a moment.

[aracnidaz]

io qiero un paseo en tu moto james

[fratellobp]

Amazing riding and amazing looking track. Gotta put it on my list.

[enigmawtf]

Wow, he sure gobbled up those other guys fast.

[paulcadogan]

James Toseland is a ledgend, lets hope Tec 3 manage to give him a decent bike in next years Moto GP. He's definately got the talent to challenge for the title given a competetive bike.

[20crossy07]

i agree with you.. alot of people wouldnt agree going on last years results... they must be forgetting its his 1st year and he was on tyers and a bike that were not the best lets face it

[nautizzle]

No doubting that's someone of the calibre of JT! Passing people for fun & pinpoint accurate!...... I'll get my CBR to go like that one day....... maybe!

[teamgreenzx9r]

I was tipped off about this vid by a cornerworker at the track when this was filmed. Apparenlty this was a box stock bike including stock DOT's. I'm amazed!

[andrebanga]

i just turned 18 and im looking to buy a motorcycle for my birthday but i cant make up my mind on which one or a color. Any tips on the perfect motorcycle and color?

[simoncbr900rr]

assuming u passed your test go for a 600...buy a 1000 with no experience and make sure u got plenty life insurabce!!!!

[andrebanga]

thanks. is a 1000 really that powerful when compared to a 600? is the honda cbr600rr the best 600 bike out?

[simoncbr900rr]

yes they are and honda are head and shoulders above the rest with build quality...buy the honda knock 1 tooth off the front sprocket and enjoy...that`s what i did!

[andrebanga]

Wat do u mean by knocking 1 tooth off the front sprocket. (im new to riding?)

[simoncbr900rr]

the gearing is like a pushbike..cog at the front and cog at the back,by knocking 1 tooth off the front sprocket u get better response from the engine and it accelerates quicker at the expense of a little bit of top speed.i`ve done it on every bike i`ve had because the manufacturers over gear their bikes,if u buy 1 ride it for a while and then get a front sprocket with 1 less tooth on it u will notice a massive difference

[adamtw6]

I also have a 07 honda what did u pay for it. And how much top speed loss are we talking about.

[simoncbr900rr]

the front sprocket is about £15 and takes ten minutes to change,u will only lose about 5mph off top speed but the bike will be far more lively accelerating especially from mid range

[venton3]

the 15t front sprocket was the best mod for the money i did.

[OskaRusty]

I just did the same mod and agree, best cheap mod for a street bike. Low and mid range is a definate improvement

[hughbox]

Great ride. I'm sure the other riders were wondering what hit them!

[suzmotogp]

you guys are sad........ great video with a great rider and on a great bike... you guys should go out and try it instead of being gay

[anynamewilldo78]

What a rider, no wonder he's WSB Champion.

[tonylaguna]

J.T.2007WSBK champ??.

[sayokheadstrong]

james is realated 2 me n he used to go to mi school n he used to live in mi village (kiveton park) he is a really good rider

[elephantcup]

Sooo, Honda paid him to go out there and show the journalists what the bike could really do? How embarrassing for them, getting schooled like that! Would'a been sick if he'd been on a liter bike.

[gsxrDoug]

Thats what happens when a World Superbike champion races with a bunch of journalists. 5 stars!

[ozanbacak]

Well, he won the Pphillip Island race 2. Very talented guy!

[motardaatletico]

Vaya peligro es llevar a este tio detras, menudas pasadas les mete a los otros pilotos...El video va un poco lento respecto al audio.

[erp0033]

tittyfuckingchrist. he's making them look like little schoolgirls. that's a great vid. too bady it is so choppy.

[GVIrish]

Oof, ol JT cuts through everyone else on the track like a hot knife through butter. Of course, everyone else out there is a moto journalist so that's only natural...but damn!

[cyclecrafttom]

what a nice style! he's drives like a good:)

[skingraph666]

[fiveninerzero]
