R1 2009 Spa Francorchamps - 22/05/2009

[quniok]

Your videos are fantastic I've watched them several times already! I was just wondering why you choose not to blip the throttle on downshifts? Do you like your bike wiggling around or is there any other reason?

[Lessdeth14]

@quniok Slipper clutch.

[blackbirdbe]

Serious skills... can you miss some? :D

[Macfrankgermany]

like a Boss!



[MRE2WHEELS4LIFE]

I really enjoy your videos !! Fu**king great !! What tires do you ride on ?? I have this year (2011) just had my 2 first trackdays ever and it was on Spa Francorchamps and i absolutly LOVE it. Other than that i just ridden on the Nordschleife :-) witch is magic, but high risk. chek out my video from the Ring and Spa :) Thanks and regards from Norway :-)

[Speedy00]

[jteixeira]

Nice ride man congrats!

Very good man-machine co-operation, great pilot,big mean machine !

[chicoboabdil]

Wat gaat dat toch allejezus hard..

[CBRboy1717]

What I would give to ride at Spa....

[DucatiRider73]

this is one awsome video love it every second of it man

[speedo202]

Way too many missed apex's ... you need t master that slipper clutch ! Otherwaise a good video on a fantastic circuit.

[MintyModF1]

OK, to clear this up for a few people who disagree with me.....I'm saying this is a real life recording, they say it's a video game.........Is this a video game, or, is this an actual real life recording of you riding around Spa?

[Shriky]

@MintyModF1 Real life recording.

Check evp-racing.be for more evidence :-)

[cgoner251]

the slide at 5:45 wow

[cgoner251]

3:25 amazing!

[dimstriple]

Hello! Another great video!

May I ask you how do you compare this version of R1 with the previous you had? Are you happy with it?

thanks in advance

[chebello90]

ur videos are amazing, and i love ur bike !

[nozzocatozzo]

the bike is stock with only the akrapovic exhaust or there are some other modifications?

It's a very fast bike!

[MuayThaiHawaii96720]

holy shit man, you gotta bring the engine rpm up to match rear wheel speed when you downshift, you're going to hurt yourself one day LOL.. just blip the throttle when you have the clutch in while you downshift. practice it on lowspeeds and get used to it.

[FrontPlayer01]

@MuayThaiHawaii96720 You should share that info with Julian Simon from Moto2, so he can improve his style in braking zone as well! ;)

[Jbanzai]

AHH

I would to race on this track one day.

Thx for your movie.

[RiesigeBaelle]

2.34.71 min



[RiesigeBaelle]

ganz schön am räubern!

[cbrandom]

Did you make it to over 300 km/h on the back straight? I noticed your speedometer stops at 299, but the revs keep building.

[jjjp0619]

have you change your gearing?

[Kapauz67]

Geiles Moped,Geile Strecke,Geiles Wetter..was will man mehr...

[FEGTTTSDH]

fantastic circuit for MOTOGP

[Module79L]

I never get tired of watching your videos.

[FEGTTTSDH]

this bike is better in circuit than italian ship???

[spiritcrusher923]

this new R1 equals a wet dream

[848alx]

circuito fantastico anche in moto...

[windowtintpro]

Fantastic video! Cheers from Australia

[rpm24]

@ 9:03, the rider must have been thinking....what the f***. got passed inside and outside almost at the same time......xD

btw. superb riding !!!

[vicentyes]

Very nice skills

[f1098S]

tres bon temp ;-)

[Speedy00]

Wow that RR guy is really fast... Nice Vid man.

But as you fly by @Kemmel the difference between 600cc and 1000cc is amazing... Never really saw that before, all my guys are going 1000cc, too. RN22 is the best bike ever built in my opinion... I love it.

[alexnegao]

copletely norely!!!!

[jamesp129]

Awesome bike control, there.

[xwera43]

Translation: I can't believe he didn't crash. Boy were some of those rider lucky he missed them with his lack of bike control & lack of proper downshifting technique.

[Turder]

Best track on the planet.

[AdamJPM]

Anit-hopping + worn tyres + racetrack = best ever feeling.Great ride.

[wdmeister]

jak mozna tak dobrze jezdzic po zakretach i jednoczesnie nie umiec redukowac biegow ?!

[AdamJPM]

żeby się wypowiadać trzeba mieć minimum wiedzy z zakresu jazdy na motocyklu, a tutaj widać, że kolejny "znawca" materii motocyklowej.Redukowanie biegów w tym przypadku jest zdeterminowane zużytymi "slick'ami".Więcej czytaj mniej pisz

[wdmeister]

To z tego wynika ze na kazdym filmiku ma zuzyte slicki. Zauwaz ze ani razu nie uzyl miedzygazu i pewnie nie wynika to z braku umiejetnosci tylko w celu zwiekszenia fun'u ale jest to nieefektywne. Antyhopping antyhoppingiem ale miedzygaz sie przydaje. I nie musisz mnie od razu obrazac panie znawco :)

[stefanosonedda]

It opens the street like Moses.

[charly16370]

Whoua R1 great but 600RR atomic!

[ParisHeel]

the sound of the 09 R1 is incredible.

[teamkrfan]

5 stars arent enough for this!! Damn want to have those driving skills too :D

[erdeif]

Amazing man.

[maidguitar]

The 600rr at 9:18, holy crap.

[erwin666gsxr]

yep the best circuit in the world and we stupid belgians do not have motogp or sbk here!!!

[TheLore]

This is the most awesome on-board video (except the ones with pro riders) on youtube... amazing track, fast riding!

[FEGTTTSDH]

9:10 scared

[TheMachRider]

Fantastic riding, dude! How long have you been competing? I am just now starting to break some comfort levels on the track with some small sliding and breaking traction and I love watching guys like you do it all the time!

[shuwa29]

sweet vid...600rr ftw!!!

[verndiesel]

that was some intense riding!!! seems like that 600rr towards the end of the vid was giving you a hard time... i guess smaller bikes can be faster with a great rider. kudos on the entire vid!

[g2barbero]

wow, amazing! My compliment, one question, what camera (or system) do you use for recording video?

[Shriky]

POV1 camera setup

[kawasakiZx10RNinja]

alweer vette video Erwin!!

Wat een prachtig circuit is dit toch. Jammer dat het daar zoveel regent. Maar op een droge dag alsop de video moet het schitterend zijn.

Leuk om Legrelle te zien. Die gast zijn bochtensnelheid en hoe hij eruit komt is niet normaal!! Zot hoe je hem inhaalde , leek behoorlijk close. Maar wel fun slip'ns sliden van je. Vaak nog wat te wijd lopen maar dat komt zeker en vast goed.

Keep up the good work :)

[fran627]

The first time I saw him sliding totally sidewards like that, I thought he would kill himself. Now I know better :-) To my (poor and limited) knowledge, he's the only one doing it this way. Longue vie à Legrelle sur circuit! :-)

[fran627]

Seb Legrelle...one of a kind! I've shared a start grid at Francor with him once. The guy doesn't really impress by his class, but he's my absolute hero on a bike anyhow. Not the most efficient one, but certainly the most spectacular to watch decelerating at La Source f.i.

[lecagiva]

WHAT'S WRONG with your back tire?? You don't take properly the corners, and YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOME GASS WHEN YOU POP THE CLUTCHso you bike doesnt slidee... just a little bit...

[Shriky]

There was ICE on the track, the rear kept sliding underneath me :-)

[lecagiva]

waw.. that's really dangerous..you can lose your bike in just a second.. what about the straight line?? you was doing about 290km..

[Str1000ac]

@Shriky even at sharp corners:

1 look at apex

2. break (you break too late and as a result too strong)

3. lean to the corner still while breaking

4. release the break not to loose the front wheel

you do like 2.4.1.3

at magny cours sharp 180 deg turn guy passes you in that corner although you passed him first, you loose like 0.5-1 sec in such corners due to yours rear wheel wiggling

[FrontPlayer01]

@Str1000ac You should share that info with Julian Simon from Moto2, so he can improve his style in braking zone as well! ;)

[Shriky]

@Str1000ac : I'm just having fun on these clips. That what's riding is about, having fun.

When it matters in competitive races i don't joke around. I've beaten Seb in real races (both on 1000's)

In this vid he whoops my ass while i give space and joke around .. ;-)

[Str1000ac]

@Shriky OK, OK, sorry, but that "riding style" made me nervous and it really looked ugly, have fun OK, but you also must think about your "style", people must enjoy looking you while you ride, the same as you want your bike to look great and beautiful not just fast etc.

btw you were great in "Dijon 17-07-2010 Q1.MOV" and other videos

here is a great video you will surely like "TT... Mad, Wonderful Race!" by chandler748r, my favorite moment is kawasaki inbound 1:46 - 1:55

[tommy9927]

God...

The R1 has a slipper clutch so you don't have to blip the throlle on downshifts.

And that sliding is to brake a little later than the rest and to impress bystanders.

MotoGP rider Garry McCoy did it even more extreme on the 500cc 2 stroke back in the days

[Str1000ac]

@lecagiva my thoughts exactly, at sharp corners he breaks to strong and misses the corners (he doesn't take corners properly), same in Magny Cours video

[zoliamy]

That Sebastien's 600CBR (05-06??) has some modifications or it's a absolutely stock bike? Thank U for answering :)

[Shriky]

It's built within ONK/IDM rules. Not that much engine mods allowed.

It's got the usual mods, decent suspensions and last but not least 2D data.

[JoeTjoepJoeserneem]

Awesome video, those last minutes, hahaha, great stuff.

[RoterFlitzer2345]

wow really nice drive and the R1 sounds great!! AMAZING!!

[ESCORSRACING]

Teveel hairpins?

Da is het mooiste track in de wereld. Maar ja, tzal uwe limburgse trots zijn zeker, haha.

Maar Legrelle rijd meer soepel vind ik. Wel eens leuk om iemand met dezelfde speed te zien rijden voor je, dan heb je een andere indruk ervan.

Je vliegt de anderen zo voorbij, denk toch dat er een paar effe goe verschoten zijn.

Toch een serieuze kick als je hem op Kemmel voorbij gaat, miljaar zeg.

Met de X-Days ben ik er maat.

Zie je dan.

[rchanquini]

by the way ....witch tire do you run ??

[Shriky]

Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro.

Old 2006 type tyre.

[rchanquini]

congrats ..... as usual nice riding .... wath do you say about the new vs old r1 ?? pros and conts tks

[Shriky]

'09 lacks top end but pulls away out of the turns. Takes a while to set up properly. I'm still trying to sharpen it up, it keeps running wide for the moment.

[jschoofs]

Beatiful weather, a terrific track, a wonderful bike and an expert driver. What more do you want?

BTW What camera are you using?

[Shriky]

POV1 setup (580tvl bullit cam with a recorder device)

[zoliamy]

this guy is a psycho :))) as usual is He :)

[willbozr1]

Very nice video as usual Shrike. Enjoyed every minute of it.

[46ValRossi46]

Damn ...

How often you replacing that gear box ...

[Shriky]

Never :)

But it helps i only run this track once a year. Too many hairpins. :)

[BR4DL3YY]

fantastic rider i see u get the power slides with this very easy lol,

[yaw26y]

Lifting through eau rouge, pussy!!!!

Wicked video dude.

[pongRacing777]

stock or modified R1? It looked so fast! Is R1 09 the best lap record? ^ ___ ^

[Shriky]

modified like usual:

ohlins suspensions, full akra, bmc filter, pcV, +2 in the rear.

I'll be able to run something around 2.31 if i mount fresh tyres.

2 months ago they ran a 2.27. Werner Daemen/Arie Vos/Raymond Schouten

[rush2905]

which is more fun to ride the R6 or GSXR 750?

[guppy8290]

r6... in my opinion

[soap0688]

Have not ridden an R6, but my K7 750 was damn good fun, and much better than my 04 CBR600RR. The R6 now tends to be more track-oriented.

[ikwakwak]

Yes Yes Yes...

[fiveohno]

nice vid Shrike!

[Powerslider]

geweldig gereden! niet normaal!! wat een bike ook. hebbuh!

[dropperpinker]

legrelle rijdt grellig...

[fuzz10]

Fantastische rijstijl !  Genieten.

[ducatisuperbike55]

mooi filmpje!

[osiris1337]

heerlijk alweer!

altijd plezier je bezig te zien

[rush2905]

that is one nice track! are you a pro or something? oh and when you slide into the corner how is your RPM's still at like 3000... were you holding in the clutch? cause if you werent, wouldnt the wheel lock up because the engine being too slow for the bike speed?

by the way, have you ever owned a GSXR750? or do you like to stick with the race classes of 600 and 1000cc? by decisions are between the GSXR750 and R6. and its giving me a headache!

[Shriky]

I don't get paid to race, so that makes me an amateur :-)

I'm holding the clutch and releasing it slowly to smooth out the slide, else it will kick you out of the saddle like a bull.

Rode an R6 once on Jerez last year, quite boring on the straights but fun to toss around through the corners. But i prefer the torque of the 1000's.

[igotyofire]

that was awesome, was that ur rear sliding out?

[Shriky]

Yup, supermotard style :-)

[lifesuxdie]

wow! what was the guy in the white/orange leathers on? looks like a Honda CBR600RR. amazing corner speed!!!

[Shriky]

It's a 600rr indeed. Top pilot Sebastien Legrelle.

Former World Superstock and Supersport rider.

[lifesuxdie]

very nice!

[sallmanR6]

nice m8
