- Ariel Atom 4 car and Ace motorbike thrashed by Shakey and Jonny. Welcome to our first episode of Byrne Out. Our ALL NEW two-wheel playlist.
We wanted to kick off the Byrne Out bike content with a brand who makes both cars and motorbikes - breaking you 4-wheeled nuts in gently - but somehow Suzuki and Honda seemed too obvious, and their cars might be a tad tame/safe for six time British Superbike legend Shakey Byrne. After all, we're talking about a bloke who isn't fazed about brake failure at 140mph.
Welcome aboard The Late Brake Show. Why not subscribe?
The Ariel Atom 4 has been out 18 months or more now, and this latest incarnation of the banzai track-focused road car looks much the same as the previous version, but it is in fact all new. New tubing (thicker, stiffer construction and slightly wider cockpit), the first Atom to carry a turbocharged motor (from the current Honda Civic Type R), different suspension and different nose cone design.
However, we first set Shakey off on the Ariel Ace motorbike demonstrator, which showcased Ariel's historic girder style forks.10 mins in Shakey was pulling the throttle wide upon exiting Ariel HQ and the Ariel employees all stopped in their tracks when they heard him rocket up the road.

Tuned into this today as I heard Shakey talking about it on BSB. I'm sorry I've missed it for all these months, but I'm delighted to say I'm now fully subscribed! 😉👍🏻
Your reviews of both vehicles were excellent; fun, informative and engaging. Shakey needs to do more of this kind of thing; he's knowledge, has a great sense of humour and he's a natural in front of the camera.
Ariels' Atom and Ace are two extraordinary pieces of engineering, but they're also incredibly beautiful. If I had a few grand kicking about, it would be, 'Somerset, here I come!'
Welcome aboard TLBS! Glad you enjoyed the episode. Shakey's got a ton of ideas for two wheeled content on the channel, which we hope car and die-hard bike fanatics will appreciate.
Halfway through the video and had to stop to comment just how much I like it. Love seeing shakey on a bike, but the combination of both of you just being totally natural, it feels unscripted, it feels honestly made, I honestly think it’s superb work. Well done JS and SB, maybe we can see more content from you as a pair going forwards?
💯
Yeah Shakey is a good addition 👍🏽
Well said, I was just thinking this is epic. Great stuff
Totally agree, fantastic stuff all round!
Sorry.
But I have to agree too.
There IS a good chemistry between these 2 characters; and the larrikin that exists in Shakey Byrne comes out in a good manner for TV.
Thankfully, you don’t use those on/off flickering montages that seem to be so prevalent and beloved of UK car shows.
Great work and I’m looking forward to more.
Another instant subscriber.
There's a great chemistry with Jonnie and Shakey, hopefully there's some more future collaborations. Beautiful looking machines the Ariel. The bike doesn't look to be overpriced, very nice piece of kit with proven engine and nice styling
"Havn't riden much in the last few years" wheel spins down the road LEGEND!
Repect Shakey, i'm just coming out of a years recovery from an accident and somewhat hesitant to get back on a bike, but after seeing you turn traction off and wack open the throttle on a wet road with cold tyres on a strange bike I am ready to get out there again 😀
Get well bro. I'm on the same ladder rung as you.
Same here. I keep on having conflicting thoughts in my head. I crave to go out on a bike, but at the same time I am scared to hell just at the thought of it. As soon as spring comes, I will do a test ride or two, just to regain that confidence that I need to buy another one.
@@thaifoodtakeaway it's the lack of awareness in car drivers I'm struggling to get over. I'd he happy to do a bike track day again but of the 3 accidents I've had on a bike it's all been car drivers not paying attention of my presence on the road. I don't think id have fun on 2 wheels surrounded by idiots I don't trust.
“They are out to get you “ So many times i avoided an accident using that thought in my head. I don’t ride anymore but I always give a chance to bikes and they do appreciate it😀 my cousin will never walk without crutches again after a car drove out in front of her. She was a mother with two young daughters at the time. Respect to all bikers👍👍
Get back on the horse
Wow what a brilliant pair of reviews for the Atom and Ace. Shakey has done a brilliant job and his contribution is just making this channel even richer!
So great!
A great fun episode. More Byrne Out's please. You both look like you had so much fun making this and that does make a difference. Beautifully put together.
I wish you nothing but sucess with the channel and thank you for making this episode. Sat on the sofa with a brew eagerly watching this unable to contain my exitement.
I've watched every single late brake show episode but this might be my favourite so far. Just so obvious that you two had a brilliant day and the chemistry is great. I was grinning from ear to ear from a few mins in
Absolutely EPIC! Top work lads and Chops, just brill work. I’d love to see Triumph and maybe any other electric bikes maybe? Tested against other electric cars possibly? Dunno, but it was a great format, well done.
What an absolute legend Shakey is and does such a great job on the reviews. Keep those Byrne Outs coming!
Being from India, where motorcycles are more common than cars as daily vehicles I'd love to see more insight into the British bike scene through various types of videos like reviews, opinion pieces etc etc. You guys don't necessarily have to always talk about the latest stuff on the market either imo.
Excited to see more of Shakey Byrne soon.
Sexy ladders and weapons of mass distraction. What a debut to have for Shane! Loved the 0-60 test, noticed the speedometer was blacked out 😉😂 "of course we stuck to the speed limit officer"
Watching you two was like seeing an old pal down the local pub, chatting about the things you love and adore! Just bundles of enthusiasm which is so infectious! Quality viewing as always 🙌
What the hell is a ladder???? UK language at its best!
Absolutely fantastic . My first love is bikes but I love cars also, this is content like no other with a brilliant addition of Shakey. Probably the best content I have seen on any platform including TV. More, more, more please.
Just had to comment and congratulate you jonny, you have impressed me with every single evolution of the channel. Best motoring content of anywhere hands down. Choosing Ariel as you’re first 2wheel crossover is a stroke of genius given that the atom is arguably the closest a 4 wheeler will get to a fast bike experience. More power to you, well deserved and continued success.
Nice fella to meet as well.
This is a brilliant combination and you two obviously get on well. Came across as really natural, not staged which made it feel comfortable to view and had a good mix of not too much of one vehicle at one time, switching between the bike and car nicely. Genuine, well done Jonny!
That was excellent! A really refreshing add on to an incredible channel! Alternating between high power, high money bikes and sub 10k, smaller bikes would be interesting and keep both the fantasy and reality bike options reviewed....
Great job boys; Shakey's style and delivery are excellent. Thank you!
Shakey is a natural presenter, he know's his topic inside out, it's just a natural thing for him to talk about it and explain it. Love it! Thanks Guys!
This was probably the one show I enjoyed the most of all your shows. Flippen awesome man. I don't have any suggestions since this one was the one I would have suggested. Great show.
It’s a match made in automotive heaven , what a great start to hopefully many more Byrne outs , well done Jonny on taking the risk on branching out , Shane is a great addition to TLBS.👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hearing a Honda start up, then seeing THAT CAR is quite surprising. Watching those two giggle in glee while zooming down the road is priceless. Hope to see more of both of you in the future.
Yay Shakey! So glad to see he's as cool as I imagined him to be when I was a kid! And what a rider; has hardly ridden in years, on a new and unusual bike and spins the tyre all the way through first gear! Keep 'em coming!
Absolutely brilliant! This is how motoring shows should be done. Great having Shakey on board to review the bikes, looking forward to more!
Awesome, glad you managed to get Shakey on board 👍
Just brilliant. Nice work guys. Shakey can't help himself...Took me back to the Fast Bikes stuff years ago. Loved it.
Really Great Balance between Bike and Car, The edit kept us engaged the whole way - Great Partnership cant wait to see what's next...
I'm not really into bikes but loving the new bike content and Shakey is a great addition to the channel. Looks like he's pretty handy behind the wheel too! Love the way he so casually describes losing the brakes at 187mph. A different breed :-)
Amazing episode!! Shakey is a natural presenter, you've done so well to spot that in him. Ace to see you both riding and driving my local roads too!
Jonny and Shakey teaming up is automotive dream team. Shakey reviewing bikes takes me back to the 90’s and performance bikes mags and videos 👍😃
Anything that reminds us of the '90s is a good thing, according to Jonny.
@@TheLateBrakeShow absolutely
Great to have you back on two wheels Shakey.
As someone who bought the old Fast Bike mags and VHS you still had that crazy laugh as you were doing the stuff that us mere mortals could only dream of.
Now how about those 4th mingers, next episode eh?
I’d absolutely love seeing Shakey on some classic motor bikes! Maybe even antique. Great episode excited for more.
Jonathan Charles Smith and Shakey Byre are very different characters but both clearly share the same passion (whether it's for 4 wheels or 2) and you "bounce-off" each other so well. All the best for Shakey's Byrne Out content!
The ace is ART...... stunning piece of engineering. Great to see Shakey presenting. Im amazed the somerset rozzers haven't banged you both up. Those speeds over rumble strips in a little village.... PC plod would normally be rubbing his sweaty little mits together.
I'm so so pleased to see Shakey back on a bike and sharing a brilliant space with Jonnie. 4:24 is all that needs to be said. Well done gents. Well done Shakey, welcome back mate.
So good to see Shakey enjoying a bike after learning the horrific extent of his injuries post crash a few years back. I met him briefly when he came to the bike shop at which I worked, about 20 years ago. He hasn’t changed. Brilliant. Long live the petrolheads. Looking forward to seeing more Byrne outs
Brilliant way to launch Byrne Out
Great idea, fantastic video. I dropped a like as soon as Shakey said "I haven't ridden a bike properly [on road] for 4 years" then proceeded to redline it out of the gate 😀
This makes me so bloody happy! What a duo, great content. Literally scratching itches for my love of bikes and cars and I can’t wait for more!
Great seeing you out together. A wonderful way to lighten up a Sunday evening during a war.
Thanks, gents!
Fantastic to see shakey testing the Arial Ace, as for the Late Brake show, Never disappoints!!!! Keep up the good work Jonny 👏
Howdy from Texas! Watching Shakey launch the bike on a damp cold road, wiggling its rear end as it debated whether to accelerate or maybe dump on its side… I realized I was worried and holding my breath. Ha! That’s brilliant motor journalism! Thank you for not just chewing up tires (tyres) doing burnouts and power slides. Y’all are a refreshing alternative to the same old predictable videos. I’d love to see you continue to cover unusual creations when possible. Now I’m going to look up whether the Atom 4 can be registered in the US of A.
Edit: Yes! They’re accepting pre-orders for US vehicles. This is terrific news because in a decade or so I may be able to afford a used 2022 model.
Highly enjoyable! The ultimate lads day out in the countryside. Incredible works of art. This has it all!
You 2 need to keep this up. Brilliant.
Awesome stuff! Impossible to watch without grinning from ear to ear - infectious joy of driving and riding!
Great first episode, setting up for a really entertaining. I'd like to see a good balance of high-end performance bikes and more obtainable, everyday bikes, and some more bike vs car videos will definitely be good to sprinkle in too.
What a pairing you two make. This has to be the best all round motoring show on TV, CZcams or any delivery channel. Well done everyone involved in producing this. I look forward to more like this.
Many thanks Steve.
So grateful to Jonny for thinking about bikes and bikers. Shakey is a great fit, this was a great video. Very excited to see what the future holds for this collaboration. Best thing on CZcams for me personally, should be on TV!
Big fan of this channel & Shakey is an excellent addition. Keep it up!
What a great combination! Shakey has forgotten more about bikes than most riders will ever know, he’s full of incredible war stories (so there I was at the end of the main straight at Snetterton, 180mph and no front brake…), but also a great presenter and a perfect foil to Jonny Smith. Bring it on 😊
Great video, shakeys a natural, ariels awesome - those doughnuts! More please, great stuff chaps!
As a vfr800 owner this is my halo dream bike. V4 is just something else. I’m so happy this channel is doing bikes now and doing it properly.
Wow! I didn't want it to end, what a great show that was.
You two work so well together, I can't wait for the next one.
I have loved Ariels cars for years, had no idea they made bikes as well. WOW do they make bikes! The frame and front fork on those things could be in a modern art museum. They are absolutely beautiful.
That was fantastic to watch, and your face when you went out in the Atom with shakey was priceless, I thought you were going to have a heart attic, looking forward to more like this, thanks
Of all of the Late Brake Show episodes that I have watched recently, this is by far my favourite. 👌🏻
So damn good to see shakey light it up, looks like it lit him up also! Great content from an unlikely duo and a good relationship already for hopefully a load more car/bike content
A truly fabulous first Byrne Out. You couldn't have asked for a better product than Atom car & bike to ride and review together. Worked so well that it just great. Long may it continue & looking forward to the next episode.
10 out of 10
Great video. Shakey's an inspired addition to the channel. I can remember when Shakey was a road tester for Fast Bikes magazine & it's great to see his road testing style hasn't changed! Top work lads. Look forward to more videos!
This is going to be really good having him on board. I can't wait for more content. Something electric would be cool.
Fantastic. Just a joy to watch. Johnny and Shakey make a great team.
Brilliant video, as a lover of both cars and motorbikes its nice to see the two come together.
Lovely partnership this. So relaxed and not" in your face " delivery.
Well done to you both .
That was absolutely brilliant. I think one of my favourite CZcams videos ever! The format works really well, and you two have a good on screen chemistry. Shakey is a legend and a maniac! Love it!
This was a surprise! Go team late brake show
Welcome back Shakey!! So so good to see him back on a bike, ripping it in a car & generally reliving the old fastbikes style road testing. Please keep this going guys ✊🏻
Loved *everything* about that. Shakey is such a great addition. Would love to see some electric bike stuff. Known nothing except the Harley and the new Triumph concept. Or a visit to CCM. Or a look back at the nutty grey imports from the 80s / 90s like the NC30 or the CBR400RRs. They were mad. Or a go on a modern sidecar outfit. Saw one in London a week back. Super quirky. Or an episode exploring all the bikes penned by one designer, like Massimo Tamburini and the Ducati 916 / MV Augusta etc. Or a chat twixt Guy Martin and Shakey. Or chat again to Mr Furze but focus on his biking. You also TOTALLY need to do an episode with Allen Millyard. Or visit a bike gymkhana and see what characters turn up. So many more future episodes I’d love to see… that also keep Shane safe. 😂
Oooh, and Shakey teaching you to wheelie (probably on a machine first though).
You couldnt ask for a better double act! I think you’re definately onto something here! I think to follow up on this would be to test a KTM X-Bow side by side with the newest Superduke or possibly the Brabus Superduke, I think the idea of putting a bike with a car on each episode is a recipe for success.. nobody else is doing it and its incredible content 👌 maybe picking your all time favourite cars vs your all time favourite bikes, hitting spots around the country that are vehicle orientated would just make the whole idea work wonders.. again this is the type of magical duo that allows us as viewers to really exerience your passions and each episode like we’re right there with you! Amazing content and thankyou! 👍
sublime move getting Shakey on board Jonny...looking forward to this series.
perfect first episode, defo one to keep watching
The two of you work really well together. A great professional episode, and nice to see some bike action at last!!! Do more like this. 🙂
Shakey in hooligan mode!!! Sticking to two wheels here but can Shakey please recreate the hotel to restaraunt scooter wheelie and if he can draft Jamie Whitham in to do the same with his R1 test ride from many moons ago, that would be a hoot. Not sure how well they would go down today lol...and apologies again Shane for calling our GSD Kiyo!!! 🤣
Great video guys. Jonny and Shakey have an amazing chemistry, so looking forward to future content!
Thank you both, immensely fun and informative, the channel was always great but keeps getting better and better. Cheers! 🍻
Great show and superb addition to the channel. Don't know much about bikes so a great introduction to that world from Shakey!
Jonny, your videos are now the benchmark for quality car reviews on CZcams. Production values have got so much polish - terrific stuff. Well done to all involved. Looking forward to seeing a few more bike reviews too - I’m not a ‘bike person’ but I do find the content interesting.
Excellent first video guys, great chemistry between you. Can't wait to see the next one. 👍
Enjoyed that for something a little different. Always moving the boundaries Jonny, great job!
First car and bike double / simultaneous review I've even seen, fantastic keep it up!
Enjoyed it very much, well done Shakey.
I loved this. Was nearly in tears when I realised Shakey was actually riding a bike again. What a moment.
Brilliant, just brilliant! A excellent first video Shakey and a great team up, well done!!
That was an utterly fantastic video. Thank you.
As a motorbike fan, and a Shane Byrne fan, it was great to see him riding and having a lot of carefully considered comments about suspension compliance, linear power delivery and so on. Not just hooning about on one wheel ( but I guess the weather had a hand in that.....) There is real chemistry between Johnny and Shane and I look forward to further episodes...
Brilliant combo you two together. Can’t wait for more.
Excellent guys. Loved my Atom 3. Shakey you are a natural in front of the camera. Loved it !!!
Great to see Shakey back on a bike. I know he may not be able to race but he has alot of knowledge and people want to listen to him. Hope to see more videos. Good effort Jonny👍
Well, this is now without doubt, my favourite CZcams channel. Nice work both!
Another excellent episode, jonny...... shakey fitted in seamlessly, proper professional while still being down to earth, brilliant addition to the team. Looking forward to more from Shane.
great start Shakey.....Well done Sir .... johnny - genius taking Shakey on board.....
Absolutely fab addition to your team, Shakey is such a gent and a giant of two wheels. Really looking forward to the next videos!
Seeing Shakey with a helmet on again riding a bike is a special moment for me. Loved the video keep them coming.
This works really well. Shakey seems really relaxed and charismatic in front of the camera. I'm not a bike person but I'll be watching Byrne Out.
That atom looks like it would make your cheeks hurt from grinning so much.
Once again a great LBS video, review(s) and also, insight into a great little company.
Great to see Shakey on board and hope it's the first of many more as 'Byrne Out' is a winner for me, Shakey always comes over as super-personable and someone you want to listen to.
Great also to see, for me anyway, was that Aerial has an identity that carries over from the car to the bike...you look at the car and it tells you it's an Aerial and it's the same with the bike...it can only be an Aerial.
Top job as always by the LBS Team 👍👍
What a great double act. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the bike videos. Cheers and thanks for the great content.
Loved every minute of this 😍
Definitely want more of this 👌
Looking forward to the next episodes 😀
Excellent! Two enthusiasts, straight talking.
Looking forward to the next episode, great chemistry and a really natural joyous vibe
Damn, for him being such a massive legend, he is so down to earth, such a humble and genuine guy! Love him!
Fan flippin tastic guys! Loved this. Thank you. Michael
Really enjoyed this!! Thank you!!
