Gregory Parrott - Clearly, it wasn't the bike...it was the rider who was kicking butt! So cool to see an awesome old machine like this being wrung out by a skilled rider.
@@deaterk Well, the bike can't be that slow, otherwise he couldn't have that much speed on the straights but i agree, this shiftting mechanisme must really require some skill XD.
Mandernach Luca - Non... That IS a 'fast as balls' old bike. No argument there mon frere. But our intrepid rider has more than ' a little skill'. That should be obvious to any viewer.
Cool to see the beemer raced. Rigid rear, hardly any front suspension, handshifter and sometimes gripping brakes and still fly past manx nortons and ajs racers. Gotta love it and the big balls of Corser ofcourse.
That's was truely awesome, that definitely took skill and balls to be operating that thing at those speeds. I liked when the announcer said not to fight the bike. That was just beautiful to watch
Rene van der Kraats I used to own an 86 VFR750... I was second owner, first owner had tricked it out for racing then added signals, etc. back to it to use as his road bike after he crashed it and damaged the frame in a way they wouldn’t let it on the track (a dent in the frame that didn’t bend the frame). I had it up to 140 once..... made the conscious decision to never go over 100 again..... I can safely say he corners faster than I did on that bike 99.99% of the time..... was about to get a new bike when COVID19 interrupted my cash flow.....
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ VFR's are splendid bikes. They're so versatile, you can do anything confidently with them. Love that V-4 drone also :) I sold my '99 Aprilia RSV1000 which I owned from new for 20 years (Rotax engineered V-2, solid bike!), I've turned the pace down a bit since then, and ride a R-Nine-T now.
I always been somewhat of a corser fan but this is corser raw! I guess when your the real deal it doesn't matter what is under you, you work with what you got and push to the front!
I don't know what it is about the drone of those old engines but this excites me more than watching modern motorcycle racing (with the possible exception of Isle of mann tt)
Bloody brilliant. What a sound. The engine in my gs1150 is basically the same motor, mmm i wonder if anyone has supercharged a modern beemer motor, must be possible now if they did it 80 years ago. Troy corser, legend.
The highlight of the Goodwood Revival. This classic motorcycle racing has the most exciting racing there. They should branch out and make a prewar class, up to 1955 and up to 1965 race.
Peter Griffin if they made a pre war only class, many racing bikes of that era would make the effort to be there. You would be surprised how many Velocette KTTs, Norton Internationals, Moto Guzzis and BMWs are out on the classic racing circuit. Imagine seeing an entire race of girder forked machines like the BMW Troy Corser won on.
Which rock do you people hide under not to not actually have any footage from the Historic Winton event at Benalla, and yet still try to persuade yourselves you know motorcycling???
He is merely overpowering them in the straight aways because his bike has more horsepower. He is cornering slowly and not really doing anything special other than having more horsepower.
Man this guy's a pilot!...tires were only on the pavement half the time! So awesome to see these machines doing what they were meant to do instead of sitting in some collector's air-conditioned warehouse...
In the German wiki ("BMW 500 Kompressor"), in the text it's rated at 60 hp, but in the scheme on the right it's rated at 108. Clearly a typo that should be fixed.
What do you mean, no suspension except the air in his tires? Seen that front suspension with leaf springs? In 1936, BMWs had telescopic front forks and foot gear change.
A supercharged bike shouldn't be racing naturally aspirated machines, but this clip is a hoot anyway. Those tiny drum brakes and skinny tires on all of those bikes--must have been a thrill to ride.
Well that,s fine then. All I was pointing out to the poster was that the TV commentator said "82", and I still think he did. I don't personally know how old it is, but I think it's all rather rather wonderful to see...
This is definitely NOT a 1939 BMW - In 1939 the supercharged BMW had telescopic front forks, plunger rear springing, the compressor on the front, foot gear change, and Schorsch Meier won the TT of Man on it!
Did he win ? !!!! I was hanging on the edge of my seat and then the video ended ! It looked like a bloody good race ! Would love to see the whole thing
wwwhhhaatattttt that's why i love those bikes .. why all the people i know keeps telling me "now i've got a 190 rear tire or i will use the builder prescription to put on my bike a 180 rear tirte..." whaat??? real riders do not need such a large tires ... ahahahahahahah absolutely loved it ..
I said that because many guys i know wants to swap 160mm for 180mm rear tire on CBR 600 with 90cv or 150mm for 170mm rear tire on Harley 1600 with 75cv ,, or 189mm for 190mm rear tire in Ducati with about 100cv ... that's not the point of having 10mm or 20mm more on you the rear tire.. but when you will be able to put on stress your standard rear tire without changing it .. it will means that you've reached the limit of your bike .. and i doubt any of them will be capable of it .. including myself .. :-)
1990, you are dead right : it's useable power that counts. Torque is much more important : when you snap the throttle open and there's nothing there because you're 5k from where the power is.
Troys an Aussie legend. Can ride the arse out of anything and this race shows that in spades. What a ride, you don’t win two world Superbike titles being a goose.
Holy Shit, Corser and bike are both awesome. To blow away manx nortons like that, Love it. In fact I,d rather watch racing like this race than Moto GP!
Sometimes people find a machine they just gel with. Other people may bag it, they cant handle it, but I'm.sure everybody has at least one hooptie they can really get to grips with. Troy corser on that bmw is proof of this. Great bike in it's time, poor bike now, great rider in his day and still a great. Hats off
Extremely stiff or non-existent suspension will lessen your grip since the tyre keeps bouncing and has trouble staying on the road since it cannot travel down to grip normally, even more so if the road is not decently even at all points. Plus, this makes it so that your grip levels keep spiking thus if you push too hard you'll lose control unexpectedly.
I believe NASCAR should take notice and do the same thing get back to car that you could beat and bang on all day and go to your local dealership and buy on Monday.
Brilliant riding by Troy Corser - love watching that old beemer bucking and weaving all over the place. Why didnt bmw put the gear leaver on the left hand side ?? Would make more sense.
I could watch him racing this bike all day, what a treat.
I agree my friend.
90 year old hard tail with right hand shift kicking butt??
Nucking futts!
Gregory Parrott - Clearly, it wasn't the bike...it was the rider who was kicking butt! So cool to see an awesome old machine like this being wrung out by a skilled rider.

Troy has always been a real blood and guts racer, with immense talent.

That’s the beauty of goodwood. They do actually race the kit!! Like......proper race the stuff!!!! It’s bleddy fantastic!!!
That's was truely awesome, that definitely took skill and balls to be operating that thing at those speeds. I liked when the announcer said not to fight the bike. That was just beautiful to watch
This reminds of the time I saw a world class drummer on a toy kit from walmart. When you are a master of your craft, you make any tools exceptional.
A great tribute to Barry. He was a wonderful guy. I had him as a client during his truck racing days with Sherwood Daf.
I have never enjoyed a video as much as this. I've watched it over and over. A right side tank shift and hard tail! Wow
If you ride bicycles a lot you learn all about that kind of suspension. Friggin great riding.
Yeah I agree with this one. I loved hooning the shit out of my beach cruiser.
I feel so humbled since I'm probably cornering slower than him on my modern sportsbike.

Wow amazing nothing pops out or breaks into pieces from those vintage exhibits at those speed!!

Pure Corser...

I don't know wether they could fill a pre war class. Not many bikes of that time are still in driving condition.
Peter Griffin if they made a pre war only class, many racing bikes of that era would make the effort to be there.

Troy Corser with the most incredible ride! Wowee!
Amazing, just so exciting to watch!
Unbelievable riding! - that bike was like a bucking bronco but what power. Corser - best rider I've seen since Hailwood!
Awesome riding! Steve
Brilliant riding and shifting.... What a machine!
Real pilot
He is merely overpowering them in the straight aways because his bike has more horsepower. He is cornering slowly and not really doing anything special other than having more horsepower.
That's our troy, goin hard n keepin it shiny side up
Man that guy can ride ! there were more than a few little rear-wheel-drifts going-on there . Dave nz
*"If the cylinder heads aren't chamfered, he'll chamfer them anyway!"* That's hilarious. True! But hilarious.
Man, you left out the best part! His 2>1 overtake was amazing
There's a double overtake at 2:07, he passes 12 and 61
It won't be many more years before this BMW becomes an antique!
No matter what Bike..a legend is always a legend!! SuperCorser
This would be an awesome support class for WSBK. Legends riding old bikes. Gold.
Absolute mad lad!
Absolute mad lad!
Man this guy's a pilot!...tires were only on the pavement half the time! So awesome to see these machines doing what they were meant to do instead of sitting in some collector's air-conditioned warehouse...
250 km/h, with suicide shifter on the opposite side, no rear suspensions and virtually no brake at all....this is a genuine flying coffin...no match
Where did you get these numbers? This motorcycle is supposed to produce between 55 and 60 hp and its top speed is 220km/h.
In the German wiki ("BMW 500 Kompressor"), in the text it's rated at 60 hp, but in the scheme on the right it's rated at 108. Clearly a typo that should be fixed.
No way that bike doe's 250km/h! Try maybe 190!
Them old bikes look so much fun
Now that is riding what you have between yours legs and just going with it....only the best riders in the world can adapt so perfectly.
Well, that was fun. Love goodwood.
Bloody brilliant!
That is some smooth riding.
Simply outstanding
Unbelievable!! Reach over shift and no rear suspension for god sake!!
no front suspension !!!!!
Really old is gold ❤️😘
Bugger me dead, what a thrilling race.
So badass, I love this
They had fun running these old machines like this - I bet the machines liked it too
Seeing that bike wiggle through the corners... Troy is a bad ass.
Big balls - that bike is all over the place
Oh Troy, you and the gang are sorely missed.
Che manico!
Id love to have any old bike running that good
What do you mean, no suspension except the air in his tires? Seen that front suspension with leaf springs? In 1936, BMWs had telescopic front forks and foot gear change.
Having a go at the the madness old school!
Wonderful!
More evidence that riding prowess is king.
He's a beast💪✌
Cooler than today
Raw talent very cool
This is soooooo cool.what a stud.☺
It really takes courage to ride such vehicles...I guess the tires were nowadays slick or i'm wrong?
Genio y figura
Amazing

Well, I'm not a mathematician, but if it was built in 1936 it is not 89 years old...
He said 82. not 89.
hhoward14 Scroll up and read the title of the video. I'll wait.
Well that,s fine then. All I was pointing out to the poster was that the TV commentator said "82", and I still think he did. I don't personally know how old it is, but I think it's all rather rather wonderful to see...
Common core math 🤔🤔
Common core math 🤔🤔🤔
Superb
This is great stuff. What a bike. Yes you're going to bounce all over with a hard tail bike but they are fun.
1939 BMW SUPERCHARGED!! Madness , using left hand for a right hand gear shift! With no suspension at all on the back! Madness Troy 😎
This is definitely NOT a 1939 BMW - In 1939 the supercharged BMW had telescopic front forks, plunger rear springing, the compressor on the front, foot gear change, and Schorsch Meier won the TT of Man on it!
Joep Kortekaas 1936 my bad
Joep Kortekaas lol I was wrong again, this BMW is from 1929
Did he win ? !!!! I was hanging on the edge of my seat and then the video ended ! It looked like a bloody good race ! Would love to see the whole thing
wwwhhhaatattttt that's why i love those bikes .. why all the people i know keeps telling me "now i've got a 190 rear tire or i will use the builder prescription to put on my bike a 180 rear tirte..." whaat??? real riders do not need such a large tires ... ahahahahahahah absolutely loved it ..
They do when they are pumping out 200+ bhp. This thing has less than 40.
But only if they are using that amount of bhp, which hardly any of them do. Certainly not on the road.
I said that because many guys i know wants to swap 160mm for 180mm rear tire on CBR 600 with 90cv or 150mm for 170mm rear tire on Harley 1600 with 75cv ,, or 189mm for 190mm rear tire in Ducati with about 100cv ... that's not the point of having 10mm or 20mm more on you the rear tire.. but when you will be able to put on stress your standard rear tire without changing it .. it will means that you've reached the limit of your bike .. and i doubt any of them will be capable of it .. including myself .. :-)

That was awesome. Must have been pretty scary.

This is why I never trust the magazines that say you have to have the latest Bike to win races. lol
show more please
The field was just fine, not destroyed at all as far as I can see.
have full video ?
89 + 5 now
A bike where even Troy Corser has to hang on for dear life
Sometimes people find a machine they just gel with. Other people may bag it, they cant handle it, but I'm.sure everybody has at least one hooptie they can really get to grips with. Troy corser on that bmw is proof of this. Great bike in it's time, poor bike now, great rider in his day and still a great. Hats off
Whooooooo! Firecracker!
Zero suspension seemed more responsive and certain that you know what the bike is doing
Extremely stiff or non-existent suspension will lessen your grip since the tyre keeps bouncing and has trouble staying on the road since it cannot travel down to grip normally, even more so if the road is not decently even at all points. Plus, this makes it so that your grip levels keep spiking thus if you push too hard you'll lose control unexpectedly.
Professionally Hunted true but if you know you can use to your advantage. The proof on a race circuit is in the pudding
Impressive.
It's not the machine it's the man.
Wonder what the displacement difference is. No windscreen and passing people on straights insights there's a significant power difference.
I believe NASCAR should take notice and do the same thing get back to car that you could beat and bang on all day and go to your local dealership and buy on Monday.
Yeah Nascar should use production cars again. Not those shitty bodies with stickers on cages.
Hudson Hornet..?? 😂😂
Probably the most fun Troy has ever had on a bike?
Old-timer BMW bike: "I'm going to show these whippersnappers how it's done!"
Wow! Now thAts rAcing!
This is a weapon type 225 140mph and 1 sold in 2013 for 480 K but good old Troy boy can still ride.
OH HELL YEAH
Putting a nice bevel on those cylinder heads
"If the valve covers were not chamfered, he'd chamfer them anyway."
The bike was never thought for the cornering speeds that todays rubber mixtures make possible. Thats why the whole bike wobbles.
Hard tail with a suicide shifter and here he is riding it like it's a fucking MotoGP bike... You do you Troy, you do you!
0% elettronics 100% fun
Brilliant riding by Troy Corser - love watching that old beemer bucking and weaving all over the place. Why didnt bmw put the gear leaver on the left hand side ?? Would make more sense.
That way you’d have to take your hand off the throttle
👍🏻. Bad ass.
Изумительно!
