What's he switching with the left hand all the time, please?
@@goprodog4304 He's changing gear.
@@GoodwoodRR I was afraid you'd say that. Madness. So much skill involved.
😊
No actually, I’d rather it was all back in my garage actually - where it frigging belongs!
That guy is faster on a 1929 bike than I would be on a 2019 one
luuk341 I would love to wring a bike at a raceway for sure i could try with quarter liters
The winner It’s not the bike, its the rider
Classic.
James Jarrett lets say its both .... and i’ll take it
@@matiasaraya8780 In this case it's the bike
I am not sure what is more impressive. How well that 90y old BMW runs on a race track or the amount of pure natural talent displayed by Corser manhandling that old lady around the track at 125 mph, scraping hardware in corners. Every new rider should watch this. Just fantastic to watch.
No one mentioned how hard he had to work with that springer seat, constantly throwing his balance off
Resurrecting an old post here but yeah Corser looked totally at ease on that old BMW. I think very few people could have put together a faster lap time on it. I think if you put him on that bike on an 'advanced' track day, he would be lapping some modern day superbikes.
I was always under the impressiom that classic race bikes were slow but this destroyed that thought
It's a BMW R57 Compressor. I presume it's supercharged so it would have some go.
same hear I always wondered how racers died at the isle of man tt back in these days and now I know why
Well they are slow 😂
That bike would be outrun by most modern bikes for under 6 grand. But that's obviously not the point. This bike is the cause that compressors are and were banned in motorcycle racing. I think the point is, that the excitement of racing doesn't come from lap times. It's from interaction between man and machine. Smooth is fast, but smooth is boring,
@@marcelk3847 they're not 😂👌🏽🔥💯
The cheeky moment at 04:48.
Much appreciated good Sir. But I think most people here came for the whole show;)
thanks you are my savior
Thanks bruuhhh
Thank you
I can see them laughing through the helmets 😂
"Excuse me dear Sir, coming through!"
"Excuse me dear Sir, eat my dust!"
He touch the butt
Afternoon john, fine day for it.
See you on the podium, you won't be long will you old chap?
@@theant9821 🤪🤪🤪
Suicide shift and still Corser blitzed one of the greatest riders ever! Hats off to the Aussie legend.👍🏻🇦🇺
Kiwi
@@mikemer79 we consider an Aussie legend.
@@mikemer79 Corser was born in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, same town as Wayne Gardner...
@@MickH60 Hear, hear...the Wollongong Wonder and the Wollongong Wiz...Pride of the Gong.
@@mikemer79 The NZ mainland might have been close to Oz at one time but definitely not when Troy was born.
Theres a nut on top of the seat that you can adjust to get more speed out of pretty much any bike. If the current nut isnt doing the job then replace with one that has a Corser thread.
Brilliant comment!! Well done!
Bloody fantastic. Great comment.
Haha clever
That comment was nuts 😂😂
Fantastic comment! :)
This has to be one of the greatest Motorsport performances of all time
Hats off to Troy having a bit of a laugh and joke while literally riding the wheels off of that BMW and hats off to John too for his great sportsmanship
wow. That was genuinely impressive. Anyone who hasn't shifted a bike like that has no idea how challenging it is. To do it at 120mph+ around a race track....holy shit.
Be intersting to know how fast it was back in the day with its rider
@@neiltitmus9744 As the story goes the supercharged BMWs dominated the prewar Isle of Man TT and were so loud they could be heard on either side of the Irish Sea
Riding a pre-war bike that fast, is just mind boggling to me. Great racing!
The rider just hates living...
Rafael Nádasi it’s a perfectly fine bike just an old (probably restored) chassis
And it's not the only one
* a German pre-war bike . GERMAN BMW :D In your face Trump ! BMW and UE FTW ! :)))
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 I am from austria. And i have to say i had to cringe a lot when i read your comment.
Troy Corser was a two time WSBK Champion in the golden era of the 90s with riders like Bayliss,Fogarty,Kocinsky,Yanagawa,Haga,Russell etc.The man knows how to ride
I think I just witnessed my favorite moment in racing :) wow
I personally like when motoGP riders all wheelie down the track at the same time but yeah this was a nice moment for sure.
This is sportsmanship. While Fenati just straight up try to "murder" his opponent by grabbing his brake
er... no, the entire motorcycle community can see that he was reaching for the brake and now fenati might face criminal charge as well
I'm just wonderin why nobody talks bout what Manzi did before that happened...that was exactely tryin to kill fenati in another way, and then lied at the race direction, but nobody cares...
@Matte Muso, I found a video of some of the "incidents" and didn't see anything that i would look at and say were deliberate attempts to run in to another rider. In both cases Manzi was clearly ahead and as such it is correct for him to take his line. If Fenati wants to try and stuff his bike down the inside, or try and run someone wide, and they hold their ground then it's clearly his (Fenati's) fault.
www.motorcyclesports.net/motogp/video-see-what-manzi-did-that-led-fenati-to-lose-his-temper/ about 1 minute in they show some other incidents.
@@AndrewFrink sorry bro, but maybe u confused the bikes, look at the first episode, manzi that was behind fenati (and nobody of them was fightin for some important positions or for the championship) tried a fuckin impossible line at a fuckin impossible speed just to try to overtake in a moment he couldn't, that was causin a fuckin crash, and for me that is bas as what fenati did.
Second episode is nothin he just overtook, i'm not tryin to justify nobody but don't tell me manzi did nothin. The fault is on both riders, for me at the same level.
Switch passports and everyone would try to make a case for Corser while this gesture would be deemed ”cocky” by the bs British media if done by Fenati.
This is one of the best things I've seen in racing
What you don't get from the video is the absolute monstrous roar that BMW produces, I was hanging over the fence as this happened and not even the howl from that machine could hide the cheering from the crowd. An absolut favourite moment.
I don't understand , how is an older bmw able to beat a relatively younger norton ?
Competition regulations changed between the late 20's and early 50's, a supercharged 500cc with about 70-75 HP vs an NA 500cc producing 55-60 HP, that difference can obviously void the handicap of not having any suspension ;)
(As a comparison, a BRM Grand Prix (Formula 1 predecessor) car from 1955 had a supercharged 1500cc V16 giving out 450-600 HP, but 1965 they used 200 HP NA 1500 cc Engines)
@@Jettemotor oh thanks .
The bimmer is wicked and Troy is ace...however, give a Kompressor to Mc Pint and you'll see another story
I think Troy deserved the rider/driver of the meeting for this outstanding performance . What is not mentioned is this bike is turbocharged. So in addition to the hand gear change, zero suspension the turbo lag adds to the challenge.
One of the most impressive displays of rider talent I,ve seen in a long time. Corser allways was quick on B,M.Ws and still is. Never thought an old Beemer like that could blow away a Manx. An awesome performance Troy!
Amazing skill, handchange, rigid frame, almost no brakes...passing Manx Nortons like they are stood still....Troy Corser is great
Hands down for the BMW (1929: WTF) and off course Troy.
Amazing how the old BMW was on track! Great bike, great pilot.
Talent, bravery and awsome 87 year old machinery. just fabulous
So nice to see a friendly touch rather than Fenati's absurd braking of a rival. Truly joyful to witness, why don't we have more of such sportsmanship?
It would be nice.
Troy Corser rode the WSBK championship in it's most competitive era with Fogarty, Slight, Kocinski, Kagayama, Chili, Edwards, Bayliss all battling it out and he would've definitely won more world titles had he been in another era. The way he is manhandling that 85 year old BMW with no suspension, drum brakes, skinny tyres, shifting using the left hand taking it off the handlebar, shows how naturally gifted a rider he is!
Yeah, Remember him on the first b.m. 1000 rr in w.S.B.racing. Had some good rides in 2010. And of course blitzing everyone in 1996 on a Ducati, and yes,Very strong opposition.He had a long career and then won title again 9 years later on a suzuki. Raced at top level for 16 years so not surprising to see him blowing opposition away on a 89 year old bike. What a rider, and that bike,awesome to watch!
Did he lose a pinky in a practice race?
Troys got big balls. Always rode with respect to other riders and machinery. He’s HIGHLY underrated until you see this.
Visakh Asok Troy Corser is one if not the most talented rider Australia has ever produced. There’s some good vids on CZcams showing his amazing ability. One was when he was called back from super bikes to ride the duke to fill in for an injured rider and blew everyone away. Even after not riding a motogp bike for so long. He should be given an award for his contribution to motor sport. Bloody legend!
Was that Bayliss?
That R57 like a friggin cannonball waltzing over the track with a total maniac riding it
Corser's performance was simply stunning! You only have to watch the bouncing of the chassis in the turns to admire the bravery and commitment. all of this from a bike that was up to 20 years older than the rest.
This is racing, this is "to be loyal with the opponents" . Good images, beautiful move and beautiful race!
Troy was always a good rider! Still got it by the looks of it.
Troy rode the socks of that bike and his control was something to be believed, wobbling round Goodwood faster than it should of gone, it was a brilliant watch and everyone really enjoyed the revival, it gets better every year and anyone who's never been, get your tickets for next year👍🏼
Troy Corser and that BMW were in in perfect harmony, great to watch. Comfortably getting his knee down and the rear wheel dancing away, very impressive.
Das ist Motorsport aller erster Klasse. Einmal Rennfahrer, immer Rennfahrer.
Und wieder ein Beweis das Oldtimerrennen nicht langweilig sind. Weiter so!!
Richtig!!!............................ ..
Romano Fenati: "Think thats something? Hold my beer"
"Opppss sorry I touched your brake" 😂
No, dont go anywhere stay on it
Proof of true talent to be able to ride an oldie like that. Boxers are great :)
Corser is probably the most underrated WSBK champ. It was hard to fathom just how good he was.
I remember this.. best race EVER!.. well... a damn sight better than most in the last 20 years
Bloody hell! brilliant riding on a seriously impressive machine with no rear suspension. And a Norton is a seriously quick machine as well! Thanks for sharing.
One of the best race's I've seen ever in my life.
Beautiful !
Both amazing riders !
Need more of this kind of racing! And the motorcycles sound amazing.
Owh man! Troy you are the MAn.. Shifting gears using your left hand while the gear selector is on the right side of the bike... 🙌
Is it a gear selector or a ignition timing controler? Because some old bike had a separate controler for ignition
Clutchless shifting on a shaft drive bike (engine speed clutch) without smashing the transmission takes extreme skill!
Tony Curr "superb"💪
Tony Curr: But he downshifts aswell. How does that work?`He really do it without clutch?
Yes, co-ordinating the blip of throttle very precisely with the shift lever movement. I suspect the gear dogs have been specially modified to facilitate this.
I miss watching Troy race. Mad skills.
he is racing at australian superbike series. great races, a pleasure to watch. seen on youtube.
sry, its Bayliss.
That was a master class in motorcycling racing. Thank You
Classic. My dad had a Norton 400 back in the day when we all had plenty more hair. He loved it. Nice to see some old school designs make it back as new bikes again. When you have bikes in your blood, you just cant help it. Tks for the vid.
Gentlemen racing 😎👌
I was at a Race Academy venue (Lausitzring, 2013) where Troy was the main mentor. First thing he says when he starts the presentation : ''Welcome to the Race Academy, please don't try to race me'' :D
Troy Corser,,you made my day today on that BMW. AWESOME.DEEP RESPECT !
The lads having fun . Great to see these older machines still racing.
He was driving that bike beautifully!
That is really cool - so nice to see modern drivers driving vintage equipment without ABS and traction control. Modern tires of course which are a vast improvement.
Amazing! I love this! I love to see someone use their skills and audacity to win.
Loved it,so skilled,so quick
At least he didn’t grab his brake lever
Ian B n
Could you imagine 😂😂😂
Lol troy gets the same lean angle on that old bike as i get on my 2012 gixxer😂
With the flat twin heads scraping the ground, guys nuts.
Corser was the last GSXR WSB Champion
I dont make myself any illusions that i will ever reach the level of these champs
Martijn Jonkers
Heh, my dad and his 2 bros were flattrackers back in the 60s before the Japanese invasion.
I thought me and my pals rode pretty good but those old guys leave us in the dust on backroads with bikes that spec out weak in comparison to newer stuff.
Apparently once ya have it, it’s like getting back on the horse, you never lost it.
@@Starfield6824 yea that was a real championship of 2 halves on the Alstare bike. Troy blitzed them early & then Vermeulen and Nori sort of halved the 2nd half of the season.
WOW!!!!! So glad I saw this . Just made my whole day 😎
Anyone else just in love with the sound of that BMW?
Welcome to another episode of : Why is this in my recommendation
When's the next episode?
@@jshkohler "Amazing Factory Machines. - No one can watch this video to the end". Naturally.
Because it's cool af
Nice eye
You are not respecting
I saw this race at Goodwood and all I can say is that Corser must have a hell of a time getting balls that size into racing leathers. The BMW, which has NO shock absorbers in front (just springs), is a rigid rear and wobbles all the way around the track is the definition of "Handful" if not two hands full. But to really enjoy this, you need external speakers turned up all the way...
This gave me the best laugh I've had in a very long time!
People around me are asking "what's so funny" so I shared this with them.
This is the most laid back race I've ever seen. Watching this is like watching a candle melting.
That bike of Corser's looks so settled to say it's 90 years old.
1929 pre-war BMW annihilating a 1953 Manx! What a sleeper!
ahahahah amazing machines amazing riders amazing gesture of true competitors at a race track.. will never be tired of that...
Definitely what you call in the groove. Amazing ride.
I heard stories of Swede Savage doing what Troy did at the end there. Benji “The Flying Hawaiian” Rabanal says Swede was so fast that he’d get up behind you and push you around the track with his hand on your behind, and pass at will. This is just gold
Cool to hear some stories coming from Rabanal, very hard to find info about that guy. His son Trevelen is one cool dude.
KingSams0n known Trevelen and Uncle Benji for years. Great stories. Lots of history. Great people.
KingSams0n sad to say that we lost uncle Benji a few weeks back
No fear suspension, rudimentary fork, shifting gears by reaching over to the other side. It almost looks like he's riding a wild boar which is trying to shake him off.
Troy Corser still got it, even with a 92 year old bike, a true legend 👏💪
What a rider Troy you make it look so easy 🤩
Hell yeah! Boxer LOVE!
ABS, suspension modes, corner vectoring, wheelie control....technology be damned! Give me a BMW hardtail!!
All fun and games until your vertebrates start giving in or the frame snaps due to fatigue.
Trust me, as someone who rides hardtails of a different fashion (MTB), over longer periods of time they are murder.
The chatter is amazing to look at though.
Rossi to 10th title after getting lin Jarvis to get him one👍
MM and JL might have something to say about that.
Carl Skaggs they’d be shitting their sens lol
God damn, that thing shakes all over the place. But great to watch Corser killing it!!!
This was awesome!
Those bikes sound amazing!
Ive never been a bike guy but DAMM this is legit 👌
Didn't realize how quick these prewar bikes were!
almost double the hp these days and modern classic race tyres are very good. Then there's the modern dampers etc. Don't get me wrong, fantastic stuff, but a lot of improvements over what they once were.
PersistentResistance put an engine on a frame with two wheels and it’s going to be quick
But still with a suicide shifter ... respect
Great sportsmanship.. thats whats missing today in F1
Yeah. I'm looking forward to a F1 driver tapping another he just passed at 350+ kph.
@@drillonrecto9787 lmao
But f1 was more dangerous than bikes so the camaraderie was there, but jackie Stuart helpd destroy an incredible sport alongside eccelstone putting the money over the racing.
Can't sand either of them. No matter the ability shown in stuarts career.
I prefer the, be alive at death way of approaching it and hopefully not reach that situation.
This is actually quite fun to watch. And surprisingly fast! O_O
Sounds so nice!
Wow that Beemer is fast!!
Stunning performance and sportsmanship in one. A role model for us all.
That was real fun to watch. 👌🏽
Quite the stark contrast between this and the idiot in Moto 2 pulling brake levers. Corser and McGuinness are top notch and sometimes you've just gotta let them know you're there lolol. Another AMAZING Revival. The live stream all weekend long was perfect as usual.
B.M.W : the GREATEST BIKE.
Unbelievable racing ... good sheet Troy!
Brilliant... this is how gentlemen race... with respect, but still giving it all and having fun.
I though he was going to press his brake lever, cause that’s how you really do it
A hard tail handles great when it's not hopping. The first time I rode one, I was shocked by how much I like the handling. It had a really nice, bicycle feel, light and nimble. You just have to learn to stand up on the boards. Ride it like a dirt bike. A hard tail holds chain tension great, they're durable as shit and simple to mess with. Just don't ride it to California, make it the bar hopper.
You can practically see Fred Walmsly smiling as he enters turn 1 after the pat on the butt. Great sportmanship.
How can you not enjoy this.....
Best, truest comment heard from any color commentator anywhere, ever!
(...when the flag drops... /...attitude changes.../...quite pathetic, really.)
Vincere una gara con una BMW del 1929, con il cambio manuale a leva sulla destra e 46 anni di età? puoi farlo se ti chiami Troy Corser!
Bè mica si chiama Romano Fenati... Guarda il gesto amichevole di Corser che è imparagonabile a quella stronzata che ha fatto Fenati... per giunta lo ha fatto a un doppiato per dirgli 'levati dal cazzo' .... Mi vergogno di essere italiano se per questo ... meglio inglese o di colonia commowhelt come Troy Corser che è australiano che un italiano che addirittura il team è quello del dottore il VR46 , Ha fatto una gran figura di merda.....
very entertaining. Always a Beemer fan . Several boxers in my day. So seeing this one in action was superb.
He was like hey you suck at this 😂

Cheeky 😂
Great Sportsmanship, clean overtakes, This is what racing is about!
They have to be clean overtakes. These machines are museum pieces that the owners are trusting tho these riders. Any rider who doesn’t respect these machines would soon find themselves black balled.
Simply awesome
Why can't any of the car videos sound like this? The commentators take a backseat to the sounds of the bikes.
Jared Huang we miss you Murray walker
I thought Troy was gonna do a Fenati. Luckily it was only a friendly gesture....
I'm disappointed
A little too friendly!! 🤪🤪🤪
This is awesome!
That old BMW has the most beautiful sound 😉👍
What in gods name possesses anyone to down-vote this, really, just why???
Because the cheeky (pun not intended LOL) moment was at the end of the video.
You people say this like nobody has their own opinion
Environmentalists.
im sure that BMW could beat a moto3 bike or maybe even a first gen R6
All due respect to those old beemers and Troy Corser but those 1st gen R6's are one hell of a bike. I had an absolute mint 13,000 miler, carbed, kcuffing awesome machine, I know it would lay waste to the old beemer.
LOL
Absolutely brilliant
This is a typical motorcycle race event that I can enjoy with my soul
