fastbikes vtr tlr and 916 crash

[bluebearbank247]

TL1000R... whata beautiful bike...

[sgoku777]

great video.. but these riders obviously dont value their safety as well as others'. as mentioned, this kind of riding would be most advisable to do in a controlled environment like a race track. but still, this is a great vid!

[darkhorse1112]

nice riding lads... well.... right up and till you went FARMING!!! ..

unlucky , good riding all the same :P chin up!!

[xxxthinkerxxx]

holy shit , thats nuts.

[AndrewEG]

these guys show some serious skills! The guy on the TL looks so comfortable flicking such a heavy bike. Serious props!

[bisdak510biker]

when u play, u have to pay. guys got balls tho!

[bigjonny101]

i think people are forgetting that rob frost and shane byrne are on these bikes so these ent ur average sunday wannabe racers they know what thier fkin doin! well most of the time :P

[edddiey2001]

He pushed too hard!

[ibuli51]

i ve seen these guys couple years ago on vhs,wheelin red 916 on bridge and scaring people with bikes in city,fun stuff!

[DJRCMACH]

Yes these guys can really handle bikes , but have to agree with people,

I toured Tasmania at a fairly fast touring pace for three weeks ..... but keeping it on the right side of the road kept me alive ! despite campers,etc on my side of the road on hairpins,sweepers,wet unknown rainforest roads...it's actualy harder to do in one lane q;)

[SYXXB13]

i hope that dude was alright.

[Ajanek]

That's pretty rare point of view. Camera mounted on helmet, not on the tank.

[HawkGTboy]

These guys are nuts. I'm more than happy to put along on my VFR750 and enjoy the scenery, thank you very much...

[floyduncorked]

Narrow minded ? Check out what happens to one of the riders in part 5 before making comments like " I say you need to know your road, know your traffic, know your bike, know yourself, and know your limits as well as the rest of the situations limits and your fine" We all want to enjoy riding around europe without having the Gendarme hiding out on every corner waiting for British riders so please stick to riding on the correct side of the road, particluarly when cornering.

[toctuning]

Wow, some narrow minded comments are on this video, it was the south of france a popular destination for the fast bikes crew from the looks of it they knew the roads. Some say it is insane, some say you will definatly go down, some say you are bound to die riding like that. I say you need to know your road, know your traffic, know your bike, know yourself, and know your limits as well as the rest of the situations limits and your fine as long as you know the road condition from a pre ride check.

[floyduncorked]

Take it to the track boys. As a motorcyclist, I thought my main dangers came from other road users of the 4 wheeled variety. Not other motorcyclists approaching me on my side of the road at high speed, particularly on blind bends.

[fish580]

over there that is thier track

[thor833790]

V-Twin POWAAAAA!!!

[mocioclistu]

old school FB. good times

Who knew back then Shakey will end up BSBK champ and even a MotoGP racer.

Wonder what happened with Gazza and Frosty.

[cyclerider111]

These guys can ride. Amazing roads. I think me and my R1 could hand with them, but this kind of stuff is what made me get into racing. Sooner or later your number comes up, and I've seen my buds lose it at this pace. Would be better of on the track.

[jamiebridges123]

brothers sure can ride, but yeah. not really for the public road chaps. x

[DjGisME]

lucky driver

[Romulko]

Hi mate! I'm glad to see this movie on youtube. I've seen bout four maybe five fullmovies of your crazy rides guys! Absolutely great, brilliant skils, I have big respect! How many parts of "fastbikes" movies have You done at all? Best regards!

[petemolloy250]

Oh, and who on earth would want to listen to 3 V-twins blasting down the road when you can listen to '70's porn music?

[petemolloy250]

Yeah you ride good and all, but you did spend half your time on the other side of the road, passing on blind corners, blasting through small towns at dangerous speeds and generally giving motorcyclists a bad name.. save it for the racetrack fellas

[Judaspriest1992]

That VTR is a great bike

[cheapracer]

Oh what a shame you didn't lose it on those public roads and hit someones else's car or property causing them great distress and/or injury as well - fuckwits.

[featherz20]

lol 497 ever heard of shane "shakey" byrne 2 times bsb champion, ex moto gp and now sterilgarda ducati WSB rider, no? how about rob frost WSS crasher, i mean racer sorry, hes great to watch, win or bin, and gary mason BSB privater with quay garage honda, truly talented and if the roads good enough for them its good enoguh for me hahaha.!!

[Mrvegasirrocks]

anybody notice the cliffs?? there crazy...

[benbenbenben1]

There not wasting there skill on the road, shakey's just won the british superbike championship. does anyone know where i can get dvd's of the riders, the only one ive got is the renagade riders

[benbenbenben1]

There not wasting there skill on the road, shakey's just won the british superbike championship. does anyone know where i can get dvd's of the riders, the only one ive got is the renagade riders

[kj7687]

IMO you shouldn't be wasting this level of skill on the street. Take 'em to a track I say. There are no blind corners, thousand foot dropoffs, piles of gravel, cagers, or any of that crap there!

[passwordresetisbroke]

lmao at the amount of times the Ducati rider almost rear ended his mate.

Someone remind me to stay away from that guy.

[AbdelKhalid315]

Yo duudes.. Very sorry for ya bt believe me u guys ride like pros...

[06rtrider]

ouch...

[Norfolkscot]

are we supposed to be impressed ?

[wizzra]

A questions: Who talks throughout the videos and commenting??

[4skinmasseure]

Stupid jerks trying to be Rossi.

[dlosterman]

Great ride, u guys got balls and narrow roads.

[yakobsffs]

Possibly the worst music on any motorcycling video, ever. The perpetrators should be kicked firmly in the loins, for around fifteen minutes.

Exciting footage though. You lot did fairly push the limits.

Were tyres really so bad in those days that such drastic hanging off was needed to prevent tucking? Seriously?

[chackokm]

man damn gud riding....

my heartbeat ws gettin high while watchin it....

ride safe dude......

why dont u go for the TT....

[stabnwagon]

6 damn minutes and it didnt show shit

[DennyGSXR]

nice video and nice music!!!

[DennyGSXR]

Nice video and nice music! Yeah!

[DrummerXbk6e4XDanno]

yur all a bunch of wankers maybe if u all used a bit more common sense an respected ur bikes an the roads a little bit more you wouldnt of crashed fucking dicks

[gabryjoint]

coglioni di merda. se vi piace tanto stricare il ginocchio in curva, andate in pista, deficenti! hai visto ke alla fine hai perso l'anteriore?? ti stà bene e t'è andata di culo ke nn 6 finito in una scarpata. cretino!

[toly900]

shocking peice of riding.pick a line you assholes

[akikoyyy]

Fine bikes, crap riders. Too fast, crossing centreline, riding too close to each other, riding when tired. Lucky not to kill themselves or some otherperson...

[jlh42581]

Wow, i cant believe you guys ride like this on roads with that much traffic, you guys have a death wish. Seriously, I ride so dont call me a cager, thats just INSANITY!

[extramural]

Wannabe road racers make me sick. Take it to the track and get your arsed kicked!

Signed Collin Ex A grade Super Bike Racer

[BeforeIDie]

Not a big fan of Super bikes, much prefer the Cruiser style bikes, but man, you guys have skill. i would never get on a bike like that, cause i know ill end up killing myself.

But hats off to you.

[Gorillaonabike]

Concentration / ground clearance????? It's trying to follow Shakey that did it! I bought the DVD and absolutely loved the scooters, wheelies, riding, the scenery, the insanity, Suzi P and the crashing. What a crew! Me and the boys used to ride hard (not anymore) but this takes it to a new level. More, more, more!!!!

[Hamasabtul]

Tja irgentwann geht es schief!

[paul01012]

Great riding, looks like you guys are having a lot of fun. Shame about the spill at the end, i've just got myself a tlr- v-twins rule!!

[MarvinTheAndroid]

Does fastbikes not have any more recent videos?

Where can I find them?

[dutchfreaker]

the vtr looked verry unstable, the back kept going out.. my zx6r is stil my favo.. but i think because im used to it.. i really liked the 992 ducati and r6 also.. especcialy the ducati it was so smooth, but dont like the v-twin sound it has

[NielsMF]

haha the music really IS porn music.. so please send it to me ;) i can make some vids with some girls you know.

are the fastbikes videos also on dvd?

[Backboneofchelsea]

What one of the Fastbike DVDs did this footage come from? Cheers for the help

[skinzzniks]

Your voice is gay and the music sucks. Great video though

[cabezo2000]

isnt true

[zxrrene]

So what did you think of the TL in the end? got on VERY cheap and thought id give it ago! is it really as bad as people say for tank slapers and awful handeling? Cant ride any were near as good as you lads but i do a few track days ect.

[ratty383]

Jesus, No wonder the coppers are always on your backs. Hope your guys Ok,But i'm glad my missus wasn't on the same road as you. As you say,It was only a matter of time.

[mooncatt79]

i only wish i had the guts to ride like that.....second thought im glad i dont. some cool really fast riding but riding like that its likely that one of you would crash at some point. hope he was too badly hurt.

[CVTVro]

fast bikes fast die

[Backboneofchelsea]

What is the name of the DVD with the full movie? Is it one of the fastbikes 1-4?

[dotster35]

boring boring commentator

[texwasabi]

"Frosty's CRAAAAAShed".........LOL!

[Arni121986]

This movie is a little bit boring.....nothing special.

[yammloco]

no puje wey, aguantese

[San000013]

6 minutes to c somethin i didn really get to c ...man!

[millekidryan]

got the dvd nuts when thwey crashed he was yelping must have badly hurt

[andrew125cr]

driving like a 3 muppits caused the crash , its only luck you did not mill a car coming the other direction ,shit music too hope your hole is not to sore

[andreacassano]

stupid

[toly900]

your riding is shit all over the place.Try hitting an apex instead of getting your knee down

[toly900]

your riding is shit,all over the place .try hitting an apex instead of getting your knee down.

[vinespritmark]

nice riding guys! and i love seeing the "tiller" in action, i have got one and i love it! take care

[ENightmare69]

Smooth riding... other than the crash of course... taking a few risks it seems but hey.. we all do at some point. Sorry bout the crash. Glad no1 was hurt badly.

[iraqxiraq]

well that teachers u,u unconsiderable riders, im a biker and that gets to me that u guys use oncoming lanes around bends,u can take another biker out that way,so i feel fuck all to ur crash.

[Alanmack23]

All the gear no idear!!

[moicbr]

GREAT VID'S guys glad to hear the rider made a full recovery... :)

My mate has a ducati 916 and i had a go...lets just say never again i'll stick to my TAME cbr6f

Great mag great vids keep it up guys..

Wendy xx

[moicbr]

nice vid guys that road looks like fun :D hope the rider was ok... great mag and great vid's.... have fun! My mate has a ducati 916 i had a go and well lets just say never again ill stick with my tame cbr6f lol

Wendy xx

[racerDOHC16]

how badly was he hurt?

[flybywir]

I love bikes and riding quickly BUT, sorry guys, riding that hard on those roads with unknown stuff coming the other way and possible cowshit round every turn is just foolish. Also you could hurt someone else.

Anyway, I hope the guy who lobbed it was OK.

[mikenco]

Good vid.. shows the best and worst of riding at the limit..

"only a matter of time.."

Hope the guy is back in the saddle now.

[hin6487]

bad luck, shit happens wen u've been at it all day

[ivegottabiglongname]

you cut the vid of too soon!!!

[argentifa]

that must be about the worst soundtrack ever...

[ranchovictoria]

I drove like that in a Ducatti. It would have been a matter of time for me too but a big skydiving accident came first. Now I'm into quieter more peaceful things like riding horses.

[shooter058475034]

he was so scared when he crashed :P

[JakeSM50]

That looks bloody good fun, obviously the crash doesn't but them roads do.

[ShakahBakah]

how can someone handle a bike like you do? very unfortuneate he fell.

GreEtZ

[deepsudeep]

Nice riding ..just wanted to know whether you guys knew the roads before

[weitaro]

what camera set up did they use?

is the camera stationed near their chest?

somehow my helmet cam doesn't give me that kind of view.

[GrahamMonette]

Wow, you guys are NUTS for following that close to each other in each turn, the number of close calls through-out that video is shocking to say the least. It doesn't surprise me in the least somebody finally crashed.

[wawawuwu]

hi in the entire film the vtr crashes twice, is it just unstable at the front or something or is just a coincident

[fastbikesorguk]

Your right it crashes twice in the full film 1st crash was when it was hit by a ducati whilst stopped at traffic lights, it handles ok just a lack of concentration and a little ground clearance was to blame.on the corner crash.

[elmoufo]

Pity you have stopped making videos now...

[fastbikesorguk]

Keep your eyes open, you never know.

[steveoplacebo]

lol loss of concentration you sure that was frostey the world supper sport rider and with him is shacky the BSB WSB and moto gp rider these duds arnt mugs there the best riders in the world its just if you push a bike to the limets at some point your going to stack it. ps thanks for the post dude and happy bikeing to you all.

[rrrrrrrrrrrrrrroo]

I tend to think TLRs were more about show than our right racing performance. There power delivery is pretty rude, but they look good and sound great. Ill take a 4 any day. V-twins compresion at coasting speeds is a pain in the ass compared to a smooth GSXR or any other 1000cc 4. And the scrubbing you talk of i never experienced but can see what your talking about the more i see of them. Either way, ive been scared off road bikes for good after a serious tank slapper on an R1 during an over take.

[doomantia]

I'm thinking buying a VTR Firestorm second hand. It is cheap, and has a reputation of being very reliable. What do you think? Would you prefer it to the CBR 600F?

[tpvalley]

Why were they driving like this on a road that may have had innocent motorists on it?

Its beyond me, something to do with lack of frontal lobe activity, utterly selfish.

[janekelly206]

dear fat bikes,sorry fast bikes,i thought the vtr was supposed to be pretty good handling,does this mean my pig of a daytona 955i is motogp class?or have i set it up wrong?p.s. i wish i could ride half as good as you guys even thou

[stoney188]

why u didnt filmed the aftermath?

[fastbikesorguk]

The Aftermath is not that nice, however he did make a full recovery.

[Plpoo]

What did he wrong, how does it came he crashed?

[fastbikesorguk]

Loss of concentration, caused crash.

[guyblin]

I seem to remember the aftermath on the vid was a lot if grass, a few moments silence, and then steadily louder moans of pain from Bollox. Busted collarbone wasn't it?

[guyblin]

I seem to recall on the original vid that the aftermath was a mass of grass, a few moments silence followed by steadily louder moans of agony from Bollox... busted collarbone wasn't it?

[fastbikesorguk]

yes it would make good porn music i suppose. what ever floats your boat.

[fastbikesorguk]

road tests are done so people like you can make an informed choice. without buying a bike that wont meet your needs.

[chuckheinch]

nice porn music

[MOZZWIGAN]

dangerous doing that

[fastbikesorguk]

Yes it can be
