Gotta agree on m/c schools, so much to get from it. Especially if you race cars competitively. I was a competent SCCA driver/racer and then raced bikes in ccs and mcra and it made me a ton faster in the car. Nice change of pace from you! Well done again.
Thank you kindly
thank you Casey, awesome video and yes, "Yamaha Champions Riding School" it's an amazing experience and a must do for all motorcycle lovers! 🏍
... best part is that they do it all year round all over USA, check their school calendar for an event near you.
Way cool Casey! I used to do track days(1.29 on a 1.95 road course riding an Eddie Lawson homage bike @550 lbs) before a brain tumor wiped out my vestibular system and subsequent cerebral hemorrhage. paralyzed my left side.
So sorry for your loss my friend... everyone has their battle and it is up to you how you fight it! I wish to see you back on a bike one day
You are a real fighter and its amazing that you won and didnt let it beat you
@@hamiltonsullivan6563 Thanks!
Just got a good MRI result today. No more chemo after 7 years. Yippie!
@@kb9oak749 yah!!!! Fighting on
YES!! BIKE CONTENT!!! I bought my first bike a month ago, and I've ridden over 1,600 miles in that time. It's an 05 Suzuki Katana, one of the last carbureted, air/oil cooled sport bikes. Best decision of my life. Next step, pilots licence, which I'll hopefully be starting this year. I completely agree with you that any sport bike, or car, or any road vehicle for that matter, is useless and unsafe if the pilot of that machine cannot operate and control it near, at, and past its limits. I plan to go to a riding school like this some time next season, and do a few track days, along with getting myself a dirt bike so I can learn a whole other side of controlling a motorcycle, past the limits of grip, just as I learned to drift cars in snow and dirt before moving to wet and then dry tarmac. Also to teach myself some cool tricks on something half the weight of my Suzuki that I won't feel too guilty dropping. Riding is truly like nothing else, and comes with so many benefits - 30% of the fuel costs but twice the power to weight and 5 times the fun of my daily driver sports car, sliding up to the front of traffic and going everywhere cars can't, getting to do the biker wave to every passing rider, getting lots of thumbs up just for being a cute girl on a bike, the list goes on. Plus it's a real way to help the environment, unlike 6000 lb hunks of steel and lithium built to be thrown away in a decade, plugging into a grid that's powered by burning stuff anyways...
Nice!
Different style video, super chill but really enjoyable. The bike mounted shots were oddly crazy satisfying as a viewer
I enjoyed editing them too. Glad you liked them!
Always good to improve one’s abilities, especially with motorcycles.
Darn, I miss riding bikes...
It's been way too long!!
Great video!!
Good to have you at pitt race!!! I was was the marshall that said hello at the start of the one day
Hello again back! I saw you in the stand but didn’t get to say hello again
@@CaseyPutsch it happens, it was a pretty busy day at the school
Once I realized I could drift my motorcycle on the street, the world changed, and even my track riding got tons better being able to 'back it in'. The 'limit' was no longer this crazy "omg i'm gonna snap-highside and die!" thing, but this nice fuzzy area I could push to my comfort.
Gnarly, love seeing you do some two-wheeled track time!!! I've been itching for a chance to get out on track myself sometime. Hopefully soon once my KTM is fixed under warranty and I'm able to acquire the proper tracksuit and other gear. Still gonna drag knee on the knobby tire though, hahaha!!!
Cool, that 7 rips hard. Looks really fun. I would love some track time with my GSXR750.
My bike is much faster than my skill. A school would help a lot. I am fast but not race-level fast. More highway squid pulls. I am 47 and I am just now getting the time and money to race.
Daaaang that's only about 45 mins away from me!
I retired from racing sport bikes 17 years ago and have always said, “I don’t care how long you’ve ridden for everyone should do at least one track day with a reputable organization because it will make you a much better rider.” I’ve been riding street for 33 years and have taken a Yamaha R3 and shown up guys on 600 and 1000cc bikes on the track cause they didn’t have the experience but thought they could automatically be faster cause they had a lot more displacement. Proper technique makes a world of difference on the track and on the street. @Casey Putsch if you’re ever in Eastern CT let me know cause I’d love to go riding with you. We’ve got some amazing roads in New England. I have an 02 Honda RC51 and a 07 CBR1000RR.
That would so sweet to see you at a wera event at Nelson
sweet as hell
Love this!, sadly youtube has decided not to show me the vid on my feed apparently. Wish you would've rode the r1m tho, not gonna lie. Cheers champ
Yeah, YT does people dirty…
Now I'm jealous.
I may have to do this …….
Great video! A lot of fun! However, a little less music and more exhaust? Thanks!
Bike was stock and quiet and the camera had a hard time with audio
Casey, what camera did you use for the on-bike track footage?
Insta360
Where did you have your camera placed during the riding in the 4-6 minute mark?
8:37 Sounds like an R1 claiming its rightful spot on the straights.
I hope so, it's got more than two and a half times the power lol
Casey what do you think of the R7?
As I understand, it was designed specifically for light-weight twins racing that has been relatively booming in the US. Apparently enough people were converting MT07s for track racing that Yamaha decided to just do it in house. Between the r7 and the Aprilia RS660, the SV650 that used to be the entire field has since been displaced.
It’s a great beginner sport bike, but it definitely was not designed specifically for racing. It uses a steel frame and doesn’t make enough HP in class to be a thoroughbred race bike, and that would make it cost too much and nobody would buy a bike with 100hp for $15k+. It is absolutely designed for newer sport bike and track riders and is perfect for that role.
@@dancarlos1216 it was designed for twins racing, not supersport. Twins was almost entirely 65-75Hp SV650s until about 2 years ago.
Now the bike to have is the aprilia RS660. It's making 100-105Hp in race trim and MSRPs for $15k. The yamaha is still popular and winning races.
Youd be surprised how little of a difference it actually is.
Looking at the results from MotoAmerica at Barber last weekend, the fastest lap in the twins race was only 2.3 seconds off of the fastest supersport rider, and was faster than more than half of the supersport grid. Extrapolating his time to the length of the supersport race(the twins race was red flagged and restarted) would have put him in 9th out of a grid of 21.
So I wouldnt be so quick to dismiss the twins. They can be way faster than you think
@@fatpad00 I’m not knocking twins racing at all, I love it. But 100hp is the competitive benchmark needed, all the bikes running are highly modified to get close to triple digit power figures. I’m just saying that the R7 was tweaked from the MT07 as an entry level sport bike. That’s why they used mostly existing components minus the front end. It was a move to keep Yamaha selling bikes and to keep producing sporty bikes that people want to ride.
Is the R7 as track ready as it's said to be? I wanted to get one when they were released, but they were a little hard to come by at the time.
Also want to say that I've been to Mid Ohio and their surface is an absolute joke.
It never missed a beat for me!
