Bike Vs Crap Moped Challenge: Which Is Faster?
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- It turns out that Lloydy is a secret motorcycle enthusiast and has got himself a vintage (crap) moped. Well, Si is not a fan, and wants to put to bed any ideas that a moped is quicker than a road bike! They’ve gone down to the GCN time trial circuit for a race. It’s bike vs crap moped: which is faster?

So Dan has done his yearly quota of casual videos and now retreats back to the commentating room? Was nice seeing him in the wild outside, still not on a raodbike, but at least close to one.
It has to be said... Nice seeing the CLASSIC lineup again! Don't get to see Dan and Si "on the road" much anymore. Now, if only they could bring back Matt Stevens for a one-off!🤩
Wouldn't mind seeing John Travolta back for a cheeky cameo neither
@@send_it_si John Travolta was on this? I gotta go see that.
So good to see Dan back in the saddle and being absolutely hilarious.
Also spot on description of the cotswolds from Si.
This was as expected, but still entertaining.
Good to see Lloyd and Si out on their bikes again.
Presentation, humour, editing and music choice - everything top notch. That‘s the videos I love GCN for. Thanks Si for defending cyclists‘ pride. I guess we have a new series. Next: „Cyclist vs. slightly less crap moped“ and „cyclist vs. not even that crap moped“. Matching the nominal power of the moped in a sprint goes on the bucket list.
Seeing Dan enter the scene on the crap moped had me in stitches! Ha ha
"Your ears bleed from the high pichted whine" yeah and the engine makes a lot of noise as well.
GCN once again displays the qualities that set it apart. Great production, great chemistry with cast and crew and the fantastic humor. The entertainment level is top notch.
The real question is how many Dans on mopeds does it take to beat Si on a TT bike
Glad someone is asking the important questions.
When Dan started pedalling it was oddly reminiscent of Chris Froome when descending. I think he just needs some tribars to get more aero.
Also shows just how good Dan and Si are as presenters and the chemistry between them. Not wishing to be critical of the other presenters but the years Si, Dan (and Matt) spent together honing their craft and building their relationships when GCN was a much smaller operation is noticeable when compared to those that joined later.
Brilliant to have Dan back in a challenge video. And excellent use of dropping a Bridgewood time effort in there (maximum pun intended)
Really went all-in on the crapness of the moped
I remember the Wisp from when I was a kid. Pretty impressive really, a bit of TLC on the engine and tyres then a rematch is called for. That petrol tank looked about 2 pints.
I think Dan can hold more than two pints of mineral water…
@@barnettkr I can chug 3 pints of beer
I remember them as well.
That one looks really rough and not even close to road legal (although I haven't been a motorcycle MOT tester for at least 35 years)
'F' reg would make it a 1966~67 bike though so not 60 yet
I love seeing Dan out of the studio, and Si and Dan doing their old shenanigans. Great stuff, y'all.
Would love to see an engine rebuild, refresh the other bits and have another go. That's a really cool piece of moped history!
We'd need to get Jon Cannings out of the App dev. for this 😂
Here in Germany we have scooters for 15 year olds that have a top speed of 25 Kmh. I always have great fun in overtaking them on my bike. One time I got behind one and followed it for about 2 Km, he kept looking over his shoulder to see if I was still there. Then he pulled over, walk around the scooter and checked it, I surpose thinking something was wrong and that he couldn't out run a bike. The funny thing is, is that here (Germany) bikes are surposed to be on bike paths ( if available ) but scooters are not allowed. I prefer to ride on the road because everyting is moving in the same direction, on bike paths that is quite often not the case and riding at 25 - 30 Kmh can be dangerous.
I'm in the UK and prefer riding on the road too. Cycleways here have pedestrians wandering on them and not kept in good condition and covered in winter debris at this time. Dangerous and had had worse two accidents on these 'safe' ways!
Same in Northern Ireland, I purposely avoid cycle paths because the youths like smashing bottles in them and they’re always full of dogs and pedestrians dandering around like zombies. Less aggravating to just ride on the road. The only time I’ve been run over by a car was on a cycle path too, woman did a three-point turn and reversed on top of me, luckily got away with just a broken thumb.
So much fun overtaking them, especially in summer when they are sweating under their motorcycle helmets. But they get rare these days. Many 15 year olds prefer getting e-bikes. Annoying *sssssssr* everywhere.
Actually you don't have to ride on the bike path when there is one.. only if there is a blue sign saying so. Otherwise riding your bike on the street is fine and legal (obv. having to adhere to normal road rules and red lights)
Same with e-bikes... I love overtaking them. If there is actually enough space, since they are blocking a whole bike lane with there huge mirrors. 😄 Kudos to you for staying awake and conscious after 2km of breathing the scooter's emissions. 😄 I am also from Germany, so I know exactly, what you are talking about. I have to say though, the bike paths and lanes are becoming better and better every year, especially outside of cities or at calmer places in cities.
That was really fun. I agree with the consensus that the banter these two have developed is real comedic timing.
Great to see Dan partaking in a challenge again, even if it is on a crappy motor driven vehicle :)
It’s nice to see Dan and Si on video again. Very entertaining!
Another great challenge video. Given a proper clean with some WD-40 and a full tune up… I reckon Si will be able to gain an extra minute next time 👍🏻
I love these series! It’d be good to see if a number of the guys can beat a half decent moped! Or Simon on a TT bike can beat one! OR the tandem bike! 😂
…or the un-restricted e-bike. Which…is actually a moped, then?
Best content in ages folks. Useless. But hilarious.
This is the best video you have put out a long time.
This is the question we have all been wanting the answer to
When I lived in North Devon, 30 years ago, I lived in Ilfracombe and worked in Braunton. Next door to where I was employed, one of the workers, who also lived in Ifracombe, had a moped... I always rode to work on my Trek 970 and at least 3 days a week, I would set off home at the same time as the moped pilot! The route involves quite a long climb from Braunton up to Mullacott Cross, about 200m elevation. It starts off gradual, then ramps up a little towards the top. The moped always had the best of me on the flats, but as we gained height, I’d catch, then pass the pesky ‘ped, just as we got to the roundabout at the top. Down the hill into Ilfracombe, the race was always mine though! Bike wins, every time! I never managed to hook-up with them for the morning ascent, but as that is a lot steeper, I guess the result would have been the same 🤣
Great video guys - I haven't laughed so much for ages - reminded me of the days when I used to do a commute - 30 miles each way on a Honda 90!
Dan Lloyd has gone way up in my respect for him as a motorcycle enthusiast! Go Dan!
One's an oldie machine with rusted parts that weighs a ton, the other's a top of the range bike with electronic shifting, aero testing and carbon molding - I think technology's on Si's side, not Dan's ;)
You should do "Bike vs Horse". :-D
I believe GTN have done a video against a horse
But on a cyclocross style parcour. Out on the road I dont think that a horse stands any chance.
@@casakaiser I would like to see a bike competing with showjumping and dressage :)
I've been watching you guys since your Inception, this is the best episode that I've ever seen with Simon and Dan, you certainly have made my day keep up the good work labs cheers from Canada.
Excellent video. Great presenting style. Worthy of the glory days of Top Gear before it became completely silly. Now, for a certain generation of viewer, can we have a Yamaha FS1E "fizzy" moped against a 1970s "10 speed racer"?
Another great GCN clip from the duo of Lloydy and Si, Dan doesn’t look that aero with that massive helmet, what is heavier the helmet or the moped, at one point I thought he was going to go head over the bars. Luv’d it.
So GPAMN Channel up next Global-Pedal-Assist-Moped-Network? Can't wait for the exclusive films on GCN+, Good to see Lloydy back on the road.
I love Dan's moped, here's to many adventures on it!
Nice to see Dan back outside and doing videos 👍
A thorough clean and service and this one would be tough to call. Back to the shed...
I like the LPA (aka Light Pedal Assistance) as used in early days of the IoM TT races up Creg Willie's Hill long before the days of the full mountain course. My wife had a 1928 250cc Raleigh many years ago (NOT 1928 I hasten to add) on which she rode the full TT course. I'm pretty sure she was quicker on that than on her pedal cycle. A long-time motor cycling pal of mine has recently restored a French Velo Solex which is much nearer to being a pedal cycle and perhaps make a more realistic challenge for Simon.
Great video - thanks
"Don't over egg the pudding" still has me giggling, and it's all I can think of when I set off on my rides 😂😂
Si won but compare cost between moped and bike, then take difference between time and divide it by difference of cost. That's quite expensive one minute :D
Great to see Dan and Si in bike video again!! Please make more!!
One of the best GCN videos. Those two are the best.
Si and Dan really are a dream team. The other presenters have a lot of caching up to do.
Ediot: Ollie is also pretty good
Simon's monologue at the beginning is absolutely perfect.
That was great seeing Dan on a classic moped. We tried motor pacing back in the day with a moped didn't work so well. We up graded to a Honda Sabre 750cc motorcycle a little over kill but got the job done.
Fantastic, can’t beat a good Deliveroo traffic lights drag race 🤘
After all these years, the GCN camera bike gets some screen time!
I've only just started watching this video, but I have a feeling that this will be one of the best videos on your channel. lol
Edit: Yup, was not wrong.
Dan, this is absurd! Thanks for the laughs. I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge. 👏👏👏
This one had very old school Top Gear vibe to it!
That was GCN GOLD! Rematch please! New tyres, new muffler a tune and maybe even a paint job. You could make a video of the process, paid for by GCN and then given back to Dan 🙂
The roadie maintained 25.8 mph for about 6 to 6.5 miles. I imagine that circuit was relatively flat, too. Double the distance and the crap moped emerges victorious, no debate.
Also get a moped that isn't choking on bad carburation, Unless you also get someone who has just eaten 5 big macs and a large soda before riding
That's a very poor moped that probably would go much faster with a rebuild and tune. I've seen the old Honda mopeds go much faster probably due to larger wheels.
@@glennoc8585 yeah but the idea is a stock teenager's who doesnt have the money, You can make 50ccs reach 140 kmh but those arent street legal
I saw lots of similar mopeds on France a few about 20 years ago. I think we need more bicycles and small motorcycles without the complexity and cost of a full bike license.
It's nice that you guys were able to get a local youth and his moped to race ol' Si. Killa bee!
i have never laughed so hard watching a moped before. genuinely thought it was just going to collapse.
Great video - but with those tires was the Wisp even street legal!!
Surely it can't have been street legal. The front number plate was missing a letter too by the look. Maybe they had special permission from the local constabulary
been rewatching Clarkson-Hammond-May era Top Gear lately and this episode gives me those vibes.
That's high praise, by the way. Keep it up!
Yeah, Dan really sounds like James May in this video.
Best bit of GCN content in some time - not saying other is bad but this is a nugget of Gold! I bet a number of viewers are carefully searching Ebay for a Wisp. :o)
My favourite type of GCN episode. Just some sillyness to brighten the day! I wonder if one day you fancy doing some sort of point to point challenge? Like Bristol to Bath, one by bike, one by public transport or a similar-but-not-quite-as-crap moped? (Regardless of how charming this one may be.)
I once drove on a narrow road and heard a strange noise for minutes and couldn't figure out what it was until i turned my head around and saw a moped in my slipstream lol
I had a similar thing, driving an air cooled VW van with window open and kept looking in the mirrors for the motorcycle I could hear until I stopped and realised it was me.
"60 years old and still working" - "yeah okay Dan but what about the moped?"
Si's comment "still a minute faster than Ollie" 😂
Dan "I'm lightening!" 😂😂
Came here from Yawamushi Pedal, an anime/manga that also answered this question...with the same result. Very cool, hope to get to moped-beating level someday.
Yes! Dan and Si together in a video outside again. And nice to see you guys use other music than the usual.
Developed a stitch laughing at this video - brilliant - thank you.
I had the exact same crap moped 9 years ago before it got stolen, even down to the same number plate. What are the odds of that lol
7:00 the bikes lost power...... 'bit like it's owner', followed by Si's look to look to camera. Comedy gold.
Just come across this channel...wow what a video.. 10/10
I'm getting serious Sting-Ray tinglings from that moped. It is actually cool, unlike most mopeds.
What a brilliantly scripted opening monologue that was. “Theatre of dreams” .
That moped is the coolest. Fix it up properly, and throw the gauntlet at Si again… Please… 😊
I've been out cruising on my road bike around 20mph before, thinking I'm making good progress and then get overtaken by a 50cc scooter like I'm standing still. There's no replacement for displacement!
Before the regulations were changed Yamaha had the FS-1E moped (reclassified as a motorcycle I believe) reputed to be good for 60mph
The unfortunate thing about this video is that it's the closest we've seen Dan to a proper pushbike in years - not that he was on one, he was just in the vicinity of Si's.
Amazing. Killed 10 mins while waiting for the Belgian CX champs to start on GCN+ loved this video
The dig on Ollie was it for me! 🤣
8:40 again dont push much Ollie we love Ollie 💓. And love that video crappiest moped lol
Relevant as always. Kudos GCN.
That’s the funniest thing I have seen in ages I was just hoping Dan didn’t smash his knees on the front shield
3:10 those fresh jordans, mans got taste
Old but gold you two!
‘Crap moped’ new name for e-bikes.
Great to see Dan! He doesn't get out enough.
Lmao! That was great!!! I legitimately cracked a smile when I saw Dan using the pedal assist!!!
Dan, while a classic, you have definitely went a little bit of too crap of a moped sorry 😂.
Si you were great too!
Keep up the great work guys!
Nice seeing Dan again. Not a petrolhead, but nice seeing a piece of classic personal transport, and Dan's passion for it. I'm one for older bikes amongst other things rather than new kit, sustainable before it was popular!
Enjoy it while you can, the powers that be will limit the freedom of personal travel for the kids of today.
That was a great challenge. Maybe Dan could add a bit of Nitrous and give it another go 😆Well done guys.
That was entertaining. That all black Aeroad 😍😍😍
Haha this title made me laugh. I live in Portugal. You see soo many old tatty crappy mopeds. Old guys wearing more or less and egg box for a helmet. I've tried to get behind and stay on the wheel but it often ends in my stamina running out😅
Dan out here blowing thru with some J’s on! 💪🏾🙌🏾
Did not recognize Lloydy until he spoke. Good disguise. BTW, was that Raleigh a member of the Raleigh/Moped Test team back in the day. You know what they say, "the older you get, the better you were"
Absolutely laffin out loud on this 🤣🤣🤣
On an unrelated note, I really like those Jordans that Dan has!
SOUP IT UP! Ball-hone the bore, fit new rings, re-lap the valves, fettle the carb, and put some Shoe Goo on that back tire and RALEIGH SHALL TRIUMPH!
I love this content, can’t wait to see the next race. I wonder how fast your deresticted electric bike would do the course.
My favorite GCN presenters, always funny 👍
Love to see these two together.
The Boss and Sweaty Pits together again! All is well in the world again!
This is the content we want. Fantastic!
Great!
Love to see some feed back on that Canyon
Chears
Dan rockin’ those Air Jordan’s with Jeans on a Moped 🤘🏼😂
I like how they reveal their own time, but then they took each other's time lol
Over a minute faster than Ollie? Now, that's what I call the GCN consolation prize.
