i wasted my time watching this video, not only you are on bikes but the part that should be the most interesting theres not much of footage and the one you have it looked booring.
@@LogitechXibangacalm down 😂😂
@@DARKSIDE-420 iam very calm. i just found pretty booring, bikes are booring and to be honest this was not one of his greatest editing ever, alots bike talking and no speeding on the unrestricted roads, they did what? one or two pulls? it does not pay the 15 minutes of bike riding talk. but whatever im sure some people enjoy his content no matter what, they have a name starts with an S and ends with a P
@@LogitechXibanga "bikes are boring" said no-one with a soul who has ever ridden one.
love it when you switch up with the moto vids, its making me reconsider not getting a moto licence
GARETH IS BACK!
Gareth is bike!* 😂
Yes! Happy to see the bromance is alive and well.
Hell yer.
I think it's spelled "Kirref"...
@@Tjescoo thanks dad
I was sceptical Alex when you said MBike episodes were coming onto the channel. HOLD OUT YA HAND ! I loved the episode! Keep up the amazing work fella
Happy days!
@@AutoalexCars Absolutely! Thanks for filming and uploading what the car and motorbike people want to see.
@@AutoalexCarsIs yours a 2 stroke?
@@steventang3236nah, 4 stroke
I’m gutted I missed this trip, it looks amazing but I’m glad you all had a fantastic time and I’m grateful that you’ve shared this amazing content for all of us to enjoy, the cinematography is incredible, well done guys!
Love you long time ❤
Out of curiosity from me - do you happen to have a motorbike, Taylor? :D
That VFR 400 is such a looker!
Those 90ies dual headlight sportbikes are something else.
It's one of the best-looking bikes imo. Like you said, those duel lights are just old skool. The single sided swing arm and the wheels just look great. I've got the VFR 800 vtec, my first bike, and I had one of these catch up with me on the twisties 😅 don't judge im still a newbie!
@@V4demon_ I still own one and in the summer commute into London on it!
Not really into bikes I am a out and out car guy but any content Alex brings out will be a good viewing. Always makes the day better 😅
I just need to say that, on his own, Rory is an absolutely amazing cinematographer. Some of the shots and pans in this video are beyond belief.
Class video again, Alex.
Well said. Rory is a powerhouse behind the camera and deserves the praise.
ALEX YOU HAVE SMASHED IT WITH THIS VIDEO! Honestly we need more of bike adventures, not many videos on biking CZcams can compare to this one!
Check out 44Teeth and the budget bike battle series if you want some bike content.
+1 on the more bike content!
The VFR was a really good choice. I find it more fun to use 100% of a small bike than 30% of a big bike (which is realistically all most people can safely use on the roads).
Went this year on my bike for the first time, its honestly such a captivating place. Theres no words to describe the feeling of the mountain road. Truely, truely special. First time I went over the mountain, I genuinely shed a tear :) I stayed down in Port St Erin, quieter side of the island with some awesome views!
been twice in a car, how i ached for my bike this time
Port Erin is lovely, unbeatable chippy there too
Not one to comment but the production quality was incredible on this. Amazing vid, Alex & Team, was smiling the whole way through!
Review the comments, plenty of praise for production on this.
I love the Isle of Man, went in 2015 with my mk3 Focus. Seeing the amount of respect people have for driving and to those who passed away its an amazing place.
So YOU were the arsehole holding everyone up!
I love the cinematic effort that has been put into this video, it looks great, Alex! Congrats to the team on making it look beautiful!
Alex out here quietly acquiring the 2 most beautiful bikes to exist and I am all for it
Had the pleasure of being part of a team for 2018/19, best experience ever. IOM is stunning. Fantastic filming and editing on video Alex.
Yesss my homeland! Very excited to watch this. We had the funeral of Raul Torras Martinez yesterday - a Spanish rider who sadly died during one of the Supertwin races this year. A huge number of people joined in a lap of the TT course in his honour
Really enjoy seeing Gareth on the channel, great vibes and chemistry!
Great episode. Had a bit of a MCM Turbos and Temples feel to it. Nice to see Gareth back on camera too.
The music really sounded like it was done by Moog, I thought so too!
Absolutely this comment!
I knew it wasn't Erin Renee but I had to Shazam it to see who it was because I loved the vibe.
Luwaks ft Vicki Vox - Don't Close Your Eyes
It’s very MCM feature film vibe, especially the music!
@@_Jester_ I did wonder if they had commissioned him for the soundtrack. If not it's about time we got more MCM love in the UK.
As a resident of the IOM nice to see the island get recognition it deserves! Great to see Gareth again and hope you come over again when it's not TT, maybe in a car, because for most of the year we have much more derestricted roads to enjoy
Not gonna lie. This is one of the best episodes you've ever made. Well-done chaps. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏👌
I am so happy you’ve uploaded this video cheered me up so much. I’ve recently been in accident on my bike, bikes a write off but atleast I’m not some broken feet but I’ll be back on another motorbike as soon as possible.
wish you a speedy recovery!
@@AutoalexCars cheers mate! Please do more motorbike stuffs I’m gunna laid up for couple months still 😢
I love the recent motorcycle content! Keep 'em coming Alex!!!
i love to live vicariously through people who actually know how to handle a big bike like this. im addicted to speed but don't have the experience and skill to do the speeds i want to do, and the speeds that i know those bikes can do, and i'd just off myself. i have limited myself to bikes under 150cc just to keep from turning myself into a long red streak on the highway
I'm an equal opportunity car and bike guy. This was genuinely enjoyable. Great camera work and it gave this American who can't afford to ship his bike to the Aisle of Man for his own experience a good idea of what it's like.
Exactly right about becoming a biker! I've always been a petrolhead, a car enthusiast. 10 years ago i passed for my motorcycle license and i never could've had this much fun with just cars. Also it gives me peace of mind, i can now drive the van i need for my job and not hate it because no car could compair to a motorbike anyway.
I don't get the car guys who hate bikes. I absolutely love cars and bikes! Both of you got absolutely beautiful rides (I do like Alex's bike more).
Bumped in to you at the Bungalow (I was the guy with the Elgrand who mumbled something about following you on CZcams lol)
Glad you enjoyed your TT experience, and lived to tell the tale 👌🏻
Had an 04 Blade... Dyno'd at 141hp at the wheel, and 155 after full exhaust, power commander and tune.
Great to see Gareth back and love that Repsol livery. Alex, brilliant choice with that fabulous VFR. Of course they didn’t break down! They’re Hondas!! My ‘98 Pan European still feels fresh out of the box. And my Africa Twin can do a weekend of hard off-road and still take me to work on Monday mornings! More of these bike videos guys. Awesome stuff.
Pan European 🙄
So excited to see more bike content! Keep them coming Alex and Gareth!
So glad you and Gareth had a great time on our lovely little island! Thankful that the weather decided to play ball for the whole two-weeks as it really showed off how beautiful this place is (and so all the visitors camping weren’t blown away or rained out!!!). Looking forward to your next video, Alex 😃
More bike content please!
Amazing views and riding and its great to see Gareth here.
Great vid and the production is on top level, well done.
Went this year with my best mates had the greatest time... saw you guys in the paddock wanted to say hi but you were deep in chat with the honda racing lads..... Great episode on the bikes as ever and also great to see you and Gareth and Rory having such a laugh.... making memories....
I've had both these bikes and currently have a 2009 R1 ( great road bike). I still have the VFR400 , its in a sad state ( quite worn out ) but I cannot part with it . I love this bike soooo much and intend to bring it back to life to ride into my old age . Bikes dont have to have big power to give big fun and the VFR is proof of that . Fantastic engine , great handling , stainless exhaust (standard) and really well made plus they are beautiful .
Fix it up and never sell it. One of the best bikes ever made
Yes!!! Love bike content! Been waiting for some from you Alex!
Getting big mighty car mods vibes with the choice of cinematics and music, not usually a bike person but this was a very enjoyable watch
Currently in the process of getting my bike license and every lesson is such a blast! Been wanting to get my license for a while now and a little while back my dad all of a sudden got his. Plan is to surprise him once i have mine and go on vacations and trips together. This video defenetly got me more and more stoked! Thank you😎💪
What a fantastic video Alex! Great to see Gareth back on the channel.
My dad, George Douglass, raced the tt many years ago and won the 1000cc clubmans in ‘53 on a Vincent hrd black shadow.
I’m hoping to get over there next year to experience it first hand.
Thanks to you and the rest of the team for such great content.
Keep the bike content coming. So good!!! Best episode yet 👍🏻
Man I miss riding. Post spinal surgery my doc told me never to get on two wheels again if I enjoy walking.
But....watching you guys rip around such an amazing place kept an uncontrollable grin on my face for the entire video 😍
Keep the shiny side up and keep ripping it! 🤙
Thanks lads for showing how utterly brilliant our island is ….racing or not, it’s got so much to offer, look forward to the next episode……👍🇮🇲💪😜
Such a great place, I wish I never left ☹️
That little 400 is the stuff dreams are made of. The fizzy little engine and the sweet as a nut handling, sublime
Can totally relate, passed my big bike test in May (turning 40 this year, did I hear midlife crisis?) and visiting the TT is about the only thing I have on my bucket list at the moment! Thanks for another great video, can't wait for part 2!
My favorite video thanks Alex for selecting the VFR beautiful bike.
That VFR is just a masterpiece to look at! I want one for my living room 😂
I have a 97 vfr750, last year before the 800. Amazing bike, fast, reliable and comfortable. The gear driven cams have a great sound as well as the v4.
I’ve been looking at frames to build one for this, the wife will think it’s a car part right 😅
Tyga kit and they look wonderfull , standard very dated these days .
@@godzillas6301 I hate that kit! It’s not supposed to look modern, it’s retro cool
@@cr11wds73 not a fan ? most people including me love um .... still we cant all like the same thing otherwise the world could be full of fiat multiplas ..... someone bought um so .....
It’s not touched upon enough: the sheer quality of these videos is inspiring - what a beautiful video and talented team.
the nc30 has to be one of my favourite bikes. something about 4 pot 400ccs just puts a smile on my face man. same with the zxr400
This might be my favorite video you've ever done. Reasonably priced fun bikes for the TT was a genius idea & well done. Thanks
Notification SQUAD!🔥🔥🔥
Love the bike vids! keep em coming! and i love how gareth avoids looking at the camera as much as possible XD
Absolutely great video, definitely got me wanting to sort my bike licence out again and also that trip has been added to my list of things to do looked amazing
This was awesome. Love the variety of content.
Not a bike guy. Fantastic idea. Very nice to see Gareth join again. Fantastic filming and editing.
Also got myself an nc30 (3 years ago now) Absolutely fell in love with it. If the brakes are not feeling great I fitted Hell braided brake lines and ebc sintered brake pads brakes are unbelievable now!
Amazing video keep up the great work. Always amazing seeing a bike video!
So much more of this, please! Love from the US. This makes me want to plan a trip around this adventure!
Watching Gareth fly past you up the mountain was something else! The fireblade has always been my favourite bike, what a special video!
So nicely done Alex- my fave video yet; as a driver and a rider I really enjoy all of your content now. Hats off sir!
I just started the process of getting my beginner motorcycle license, and this video has made me shift me shift the process up a gear! Thank you Alex and Gareth for taking us on the journey. Can't wait for the next episode!
did not this kind of content from this channel. but what a good change of pace. loved it
I'm glad to see you're back on two wheels.
I had a vfr400 many years ago until it was written off.
I'm on an 800 now and love it.
It is such a social thing with bikes, and I go out just for the sake of it, no plans, no idea where to go, just go.
As you said, if you are thinking about it, do it.
Love the VFR. I had a NC24 for my first bike 💪🏼
I was over there this year and the whole experience is just unmatched. Best Motorsport in the world. The Mountain is awesome too, love that Island.
Just beautiful, what a wonderful adventure, great filming too thanks !!!
Cheers from Australia
Excellent to see Gareth back. You friendship really shines through. Well done lads.
I’m not a biker but I love the NC30 vfr400 I’ve always wanted one. Potentially your best episode for me! ❤
As someone who misses being on the saddle like hell..
The shots of you guys riding just makes me really emotional
More motorcycle content please!
I am absolutely obsessed with the vfr400 nc30, you could not have uploaded this at a better time! 😁😁
Amazing vid as always! :)
Fantastic video Alex, love how it started off on my favourtie biking road in the Trough of Bowland. Nothing on earth compares to the TT for me, glad you all had a great time.
I've been waiting for this moment! So few motorbike channels out there so I'm delighted to see a bit more content.
With 2 of my favorite bikes as well. Can't beat a VFR
It’s really cool to see you doing bike videos aswell Alex, love the channel!
Great work guys, as a car and bike person myself it’s amazing to see such quality content on one channel 💪🏼
Love that you were here for the tt and could experience it! Great video and excited to see next weeks video 😄
Loved this, brilliant content and two great bikes, on my bucket list to do!
Love to see follow ups on these bikes, restoring and/or adding your personal touches.
Superb episode - enjoying your channel as its the first I've come across that covers both cars and bikes nicely!
I have had over a dozen bikes, and the one I most miss is my rvf 400. With new suspension it was the most fun I have had on the road.
Damn man I've been waiting for this kinda content! Love your usual stuff but I love bike stuff just as much! Gorgeous machines too 🤟🤟
This is one of my life-long bucket list activities. Great vid and great bike choices!
Great video again, nice to see Gareth back. Good choice on bikes, got excited seeing the little vfr, had an rvf 400 as 1st bike then weirdly as you have one too I moved onto a Ducati 748…then kids came along 😂
Like Alex I’m not tall and being flat footed at standstill on the RVF was so comfortable, hope you keep the bike was a great handling rev machine
Love the production on this video! More of this standard please 😊
I want my old NC30 back now. Thanks Alex. I had it in the same colours too, wicked little bike
Wow. Congrats to you Alex and all of your team for making your best video yet. Loved the bike choices and loved the ride over the mountain. Would love to do that one day. Keep up the great work. Cars are good but the bike are fantastic. Hope to see more bike content soon. ❤
Great work guys and editing and loved the variety 👍
Really enjoyed the episode. Great b-roll and camera shots 👍
Love to see you do more bike stuff Alex, glad your also not being stupid and sticking in your comfort zone. Good man!
Love, love love NC30. mine had 43k miles on the engine, valves still in spec! love the gear driven cams. just an awesome bike, so much fun
Finally some bike content - just like cars but actually fast!
And what a cracking bit of bike content too 👌 kudos on the VFR
Best episode yet.....superb quality looking forward to seeing more
Alex amazing video and I'm not even a bike fan. Cinematography, soundtrack and production by Rory was bang on. A great video and different to your usual antics but top drawer!
This year was my first year. I came all the way from Australia. It’s such an awesome experience that I’ll never ever forget!
Content is coming together nicely! Great stuff!
Loving the bike content! More of this would be amazing
Great video Alex, really love the motorbike content and I can't believe how hard you lucked out with the weather. You're a very lucky boy indeed!
Lovvvveee the random bike videos!!! True passionate about everything with an enginge, you can tell :D !
You guys are a great advert for bikes. Loved the NC30 & 'Blade. Classy of Honda to help you out. 😎
Great video and great memories from this year's TT overtaking on the 'wrong' side of the round on the mountain was really strange but awesome!
Love having bikes on the channel. Love to see your enthusiasm for bikes.
YES! Finally some proper motorbike content from this channel!
Got my CBT on the 9th July, can't wait to get on the road. Another great video Alex!
