"and he takes a much better line than me"
No lines were taken by tom that day lol
The fact that you're passing everyone while narrating it is just another way of showing how great a rider you are. Tom can jump on any bike and hold his own. I've seen him do it a few times.
awkward moment when the 300 down was me 😂😂😂😂 dead 😂😂 love your videos tom👌
as an rc 390 owner myself i love these videos in particular! Good work man!
uh Tom uh like you not staying inside the lines. You clearly have never colored before... Hahaha
Jake TheGardenSnake Triggered😂
ECU remapping?
Haha,i think if tom watched twist of the wrist 2..and exercised some throttle control he'd smash it!!😎
The 390 looked epic fun on track... great video bro!
Damn what a fun ride! I've always wanted to try track riding but for now I'll live through your videos :)
Tom, you should be in the slower group. The lines you're taking are so wrong and you're turning in way to soon throwing you wide and missing the apex...
+Daniel Welch yea i'm not a rider (yet;) but I started getting it to it reading, watching etc. and I got the same feeling.. especially after watch The Cornering Bible - Twist of the wrist II, really cool stuff about cornering..
+Daniel Welch yeah cause I overtook everyone in the session on a slower bike and I should be in a slower group... Lines and apexs are for nerds
+RidingWithTom much to learn you have. "Squeeze on the brakes" how about get off the damn clutch.
+RidingWithTom this video is hard to watch. not hating i enjoy your usual videos long time fan, but you have a lot to learn about track riding technique. it is not about your speed or overtaking the other bikes, but about learning lines and apex's and improving your skill. if you did a track day focusing on technique it will make you a better rider.
+RidingWithTom
subscribed after that lmao
Hell yeah mate,I love the 390,can't wait to get mine soon,a 2024 390 in Atlantic blue
Looks like great fun man, very impressive! I feel inspired to try mine out on the track now, I have remapped it and put a Quick Shifter on and it goes like the clappers!!
Looks like a lot of fun!
Thanks brother! Watching all the videos on Duke 390 for track riding to decide on the new Duke 2024
Hello from India Tom. I got a 390 duke.. just such a fun bike.. I wish my city had a open track.. good riding, cheers!
This looks like SO much fun! great job brosif!
Good watch, more track vids! love your work tommy
I'm taking my duke on track tomorrow
your first few laps were on the edge lol i taught them brakes were not going to stop on time for the corners great video you got much better after a few laps that 250cc was sweet
If you want to use tech 7 you can adjust the shift lever up, it helps a lot.
2 weeks ago, was my first time ever driving a gas powered vehicle/motorcycle, so I went with my 11 year old cousin (on his bday) to go and try pocketbike on an outdoor track for the first time. Keep in mind, I'm only 15, so this was really awesome for me. Tho I drove out on the grass, and flew off my bike once, the rest of the time it went perfect haha. I even got in front of some of the other guys, so that was nice lol. You're probably just like "okay whatever" but danm, I can see why people love this sport so much. Even my uncle drives on racetracks in other counties. Fucking awesome shit
Awesome track ride!
Were you using the heel of your boot to downshift before a corner? Cuz' it sure as hell looked like that :P
omg so many good old bikes in there, vfr400. cbr250rr...i wish i could have one of these
Nice video. I was wondering how the duke would perform on the track. Thanks man.
india many r on the track
Hey Tom, ever thought about doing off roading with a super sport? Seems like a fun experiment to take a super sport with the right tires off roading
Hay mate great vid just picked this bad boy up.just wondering when you put the bike in 1 gear from neutral dose it jerk
"Tom are you familiar with the track and have an idea of what lines you'll take?"
"Yeah I'll just take my usual: straight down the middle of the whole thing, corners and all, and speeding up primarily when I get close to other people"
Damn that was fun to watch! haha I'm just curious as to why you weren't blipping the throttle on the downshifts, maybe you're not used to bike yet?
Have you blown the head gasket yet on this bike Tom! any issues with it? cheers
RidingWithTom you need to get a Arrow black carbon exhaust and a re map , Best sounding pipe ever for the duke use to have one. also buy a set of aftermarket rearsets too, and the ninja was track ready duke road and naked.
Great video mate!
How do you think the duke would be for light off reading? Just wondering how the husqvarna svartpilen would be as a scrambler.
hi tom. ive also got a duke 390 and i do advise u 2 get a REMUS freeflow exsaust best upgrade ever and a lot of 12000 BMW has them on
Damn you Tom. I wish I was on that man of a bike at that track.
looks like a fun little bike :)
Great Vid!! KTM RC 390 review would be ace
Have you had any issues with your 390 Tom? is the slipper clutch any good?
I'm getting this bike!
havent been on a track, but... "speed on right lines > speed" i think. gives you better routes to accelerate. but hey im new so what do I know... enjoyed the vid regardless. how much did a track day cost you?
This is such a monster!
Get the arca exhaust! they make the ktm's sound beasty as hell :)
The video is very good! But I stay the doubt because when braking in curves do not give the blow gas throttle to lower gears correctly
Looked like a great day...shame the Duke was hating apexes though, Dukes are the gun in a straight line though
Nice ride
Tom I was thinking of buying a KTM 390 for track for fun. Great video, but you need to work on your lines lol
Hey, what are those crash pads that you're using on the bike?
Proper apexes are just as important as braking zones
Anyone else find their head tilting with the camera angle? Great video though, looks like hella fun that bike
Hey Tom,
which gloves do you use?
And Nice Vid ;)
Tom were the pegs the reason why you didnt lean that much?
Which bike ul prefer for best racing
man.... im sitting here 15 years old and just cant wait untill ill get out on a bike man.
what is that white 2stroke bike ? aprillia or something?
"Ah shit this is going to be my undoing" - RidingWithTom 2016
hahaha
Superb.... 👍 by the way can you teach how to ride on track...
what action camera do you always use?
+RidingwithTom when you going to take the bmw to the track?
i have never done a track day yet, just wondering why the black tape on the mirrors?
+JCR Motovlogs if a rock kicks up and shatters the glass it wont fall on the track
ahhh, i see
The real reason they ask you to put tape on your mirrors is so you don’t use them. Most people first time on a track will worry too much about who is behind them instead of what is in front. You tape the mirrors to take away the distraction and concentrate fully on riding your own lines. If anyone wants to overtake, the onus is on them to do it safely. Breaking glass is a secondary concern.
8:12 2 stroke FTW!!
So, hows Slick Mode on the 390? :'D
Get yourself over to a race school mate to sort out those lines etc and try and make sure you chop that throttle if you're going to shift with the clutch. Cheers for the good content as ever!
+TiniFugative school? School to ride bikes to have fun? I'd rather just ride mang, I'm not trying to win races and just having a laugh
+RidingWithTom Fair play mate, looking forwards to the next video
was the abs on or off ?
Awesome!
What track day was this and how much is it tom? Looking at getting into this recreationaly. I'm from Melbourne also
dtomic17, I can tell you that the track was Broadford. It is just past Seymour on your way out of Melbourne. It is a bike only track and great fun especially on smaller bikes. Don’t know cost but is much cheaper than a day at Phillip Island.
You need to work on your lines tom haha you should buy a ninja 300 and start racing
+DeadEyeNic He's scaring me going that wide.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing! No hate towards Tom though! Love him haha
+DeadEyeNic THIS. I love his vids but eveyrtime i see a trackday vid the first thing that comes to mind is oh god another vid of him coming in too hot and blowing every corner in an attempt to catch and pass the next rider.
+YZF_Nick omg ik haha he needs to work on that lol

+RidingWithTom How does the bike keep it's grip? Don't understand why it doesn't just slide off the track
+iOlsen-_- I'm not sure i can explain this well in english but i'll try. First of all the wheels are in the shape of a cone so there's still a lot of contact area between the wheels and the road even when the bike tilts. When the wheels are spinning it creates gyroscopic force which tries to straighten the bike. When correctly tilting in corners the gyroscopic force is equal to gravity trying to pull the bike down
K-Rauta It's not the downforce im having a hard time understanding, its sideways. How can the friction from the tires be so good that when going so fast, the bike simply doesnt slide away?
iOlsen-_- that's because of the shape of the wheel. When going sideways it has as much contact area as when it's going straight
Hi Tom. You seem to know your way round bikes. I just started taking lessons to get my license to drive a bike and was trying to choose the correct first bike for myself. I am a fairly tall guy (188cm) And pretty well built if I do say so myself (88kilos without anything on.) The bike that caught my eye (and it seems to be a really popular one in Lithuania) is the Yamaha Yzf R125. Year 2009 model (there is also an option for a 2008 model). Haven't gone to get a look at either of those, but I am kinda worried that they might be too small to me. Got any tips?
the r125 might be a little too short for you..why not just go for a Honda CB650F? or the MT-07
HuHue I am new to the biking scene and it's just that r125 caught my eye. I will check out your suggestions. Thank you.
whers the s1000rr track day?
which light?
You have to rev it like you rev on a drag race and Im sure it will overtake all the 300s
Im planning on getting the duke 390 for my first bike.
Its my first bike, I bought it a month ago. Absolutely LOVE it. Dont rev above 7000 and be aware the tires are really soft. It only weighs 309 pounds! So fun!
Why the tape on the mirrors?
ima bring my r3 to a track soon
What is the tape on the mirrors for? Not blinding others with the sun?
+PatrickToast Probably to hold most of the pieces in place if you crash
+T0BBi94 yea could be :D
i like where the camera is
I need to get another bike to take to the track don't want to take my R3
Try new pads on the brakes, if you've still got the factory ones on
+exonusgod I changed to an adjustable lever and dialled it out so it doesn't need much pull anymore, it's way begger
+RidingWithTom If I was keeping my RC390 I'd be doing the same. The brakes have been HORRIBLE since brand new lol. I always feel like I will not stop in time
wow tom you are my favorite motovlogger and now ive saw your face on ... ( dont want to be a douche ) channel and wow i thought you are about 30 years or something but you are looking so young man
greetings from berlin :D keep up the good work man
would be hella freaking good if you could test ride a z750 oder a gsr 600
I saw that too :p
Sorry to ask a rookie question but why is there black tape on your mirrors?
What have I missed?
GG CC prevents glass sharpness to be all over the track in an accident, same goes for tape on headlamps for race cars on track
It is to stop you using them and look in front. Mirrors are a bad distraction, not needed on track
Did you lap everyone cause you are sooo fast
would this be a good starter track bike or would a supermoto be better to start, i ride a street triple but want to start track days but not on the triple yet
supermotos don't break easy so it won't matter as much if you stuff up
There's a big difference in riding style from your 675 to a sumo, so you'd probably be more confortable on an older 600. Unless you've got a lot of mx experience then you'll adapt to the sumo fairly quickly
I started out riding on dirt bikes and street on a Sumo is was a turd though. I just assumed a Sumo bc it will be waaaay cheaper to fix after I crash
+DBOWshow if you're used to the geometry of a dirt bike then you should adapt fine. Only other problem is they're going to require slightly more maintenance than a sports bike (frequent valve adjustments and such) and they're going to struggle on the faster tracks. But if your local circuits are relatively small with tight corners you'll be better off with the supermoto
local circuits... that made me laugh lol nothing near us for like 5 hours. thanks for the help
girl group FTW! xD 390 abs version? it seems great on the braking!
You passed up 12 riders. Excellent
Awesome vid thanks, was fun to watch. A small criticism if I may... The 'girls' attitude at the start went out of fashion with the Honda GL145 (some people thought it was cool once but trust me it wasn't), and one other small thing your confidence and attitude is great but over confidence kills people on a motorcycle. You don't have to consider the ramblings of a random nobody you tuber but remembering what I say may save your skin one day? :) from an old motorcyclist!
never turn off bike right after u drive him like that,let it run 1-2min and let fan cool him down a bit
CBR250RR vs Ninja 300 - what's better for leaner bike?
Both are good the cbr might be a little cheaper
+AABB77 ! im a beginner and I bought myself a white ninja 300 after considering a ton of bikes, and i couldnt be happier. the ninja is much better looking and more powerful than the 250, also much smoother from what i have heard, (haven't rode the 250). you wont be dissapointed with the ninja.
It basically just comes down to personal preference and what your going to be using it for, if your doing more highway riding the 50 cc might come in handie and there is tons more bikes besides those to cbr 300 duke 390, r3 just to name a few
I don't get the point... A bike take a ride whit 600cc they have more 210cc than you... Whats the point this game? and where this happend? Can you tell me?
Nice!
+tastyhamsandwhich shut up.
+Steve Kada Ok!
390 beats Honda CB600 hornet on track. It is an amazing bike. I would place it higher than a middle weight.
I can see a couple of those riders benefit a lot from a track day - they are going to get into trouble really easily on the street, trusting their bikes that little
+Martin Fisker I doubt you could tell how they ride on the road by how they ride at the track, my dad would probably be slow and doing the same as them and he has been road riding more then 40 years
You're probably right, i just saw a couple of riders going through the slow S.-curve with a 15° lean angle
Stupid question:
Why that tape on the mirrors?
Mario Turco, not a stupid question. Tape stops you looking in the mirrors, they are a distraction. No need to see behind, just concentrate on what is in front. Common practice on track days.
Why was there tape on your side mirrors?
To stop you using them, mirrors are just a bad distraction on track and not needed
Bit of an echo towards the end (headphones)
Why's there black tape on side mirrors?
So you don’t use them
how much is a track day in your part of the world
+zaron z around $200
its about $250 here minimum. my local track ranges from $250 to $500 depending on club and events
Under 400s? There was a Ducati 748 there man.
+TheRandomChannelTV it's under 600's and that was an instructor teaching someone
RidingWithTom Aha, fair enough. Thanks for replying mate :D
jon smith What.
+RidingWithTom you should do a car vlogg in your new car and go thrue IT MORE and IF your planning on modd IT
Tom saw ya face on jakes channel lol where u guys are in Thailand
what's jakes channel? hahahaha
Why post that shit on here if he doesn't actually want to do a face reveal and only the actual followers of the group as a collective get to see?
No hate etc. but don't be that guy, let Tom decide if he wants to link people or not
your very good
Missingtheapexwithtom
salut mec bonne presentation cool
why is there tape on the mirrors?
nvm comments already answered it. so glass doesnt go everywhere if crashed
