Neevesy is pure gold. I could listen to him all day every day 👏
Cheers matey 👍
I've been watching your Vídeos on RUclips since the start of it on MCN. I'm very pleased to be still learning from you. The extension of your videos are never enough. Thank you for giving us your attention.
Rodrigo, from Brazil.
Thanks Rodrigo 🇧🇷
You're doing great work, Michael, there's nobody else on t'internet that has your knowledge and is answering the fan's burning questions. Please keep it up.
One thing, when reading out peoples handles, you don't need to mention the numbers at the end, these are assigned by RUclips and not part of what the user set. Cheers mate.
Ha! Thanks mate 👍
Hi Neevesy, thanks for answering my question in such detail! 90bhp and 230kg, yep sounds like a Harley! 😂
Neevesy, really appreciate you answering my question re: defensive riding etc. I set off to Germany tomorrow and will let you know how it goes! All the best, excellent content as usual. Regards.
Enjoy 😃👍
@@neevesybikes Enjoy from me too, I bet you'll have a great time.
Hi Neevesy. Thank you for answering my question regarding the s1000rr and the gsxr1000r. I actually collected a 2017 s1000rr in the m sport tri colour from crescent suzuki Bournemouth on Saturday. I travelled 170 miles each way from Tamworth as it was a lovely example with full service history and 6339 miles. The ride back was bliss, and after 5 minutes it felt like I'd never been away from riding. Even with the cruise control on at 70 on the motorway the feeling you can only get from riding bikes was back with me. Safe riding and keep up the great content buddy.
Great minds! You're going to have a lot of fun on that.
"Once you got through the wobble it wasn't that bad"!!
You crack me. up Neevesy! Something good to say about every bike even though it's horrible.
In the tactical world we call it hot washing, debriefing, etc. it’s basically what could have I/we done differently that would have caused a better outcome. This not just for things that went wrong. It’s for all things good and bad. Every ride is a training opportunity, hot wash all your rides.
The Royal Air Force fighter pilots spend twice as long on debrief after a mission than it took to fly. So that's some commitment to learn and improve relentlessly.
Safe ride.
This kind of builds off the "best moto-journalist rider" question you received a few episodes ago, but:
If you had to build a team for an endurance race, let's say on twins cup bikes (R7, RS660, etc). Which moto journalists would you put on your team? I believe that's up to 4 riders. I guess you'd also want to take into account people around your same size since you'll all be sharing a bike.
Love these videos!
Love this one! 🎉🎉
Totally agree about heated grips.....have them on my GSXR1000 K5....people always scoff....but awesome as you say...beginning and end of the Season bliss!
Wholeheartedly agree with your comments on defensive riding. I will be preparing for a car in a junction, or waiting to turn across me into a junction, to go until I pass or they have obviously seen me. That means off the throttle if not already applying brake pressure. In fact, I even treat empty junctions with suspicion as vehicles will often arrive with the expectation the road will be clear, especially on open country roads. They are in 2nd gear intent on keep going and even if they see you they might just keep going out of lack of any other option at that point. Any time they stop and or use good observation skills in spotting me I like to give them a wee thank you nod or wave (especially on roundabouts, when did people lose the ability to negotiate roundabouts properly!?). I know, how weird is it that I thank them for doing what they should do!!
Exactly. You have to play the game! 👍
Thanks so much for answering my Q. Super appreciated. Now, to sort my ABS delete. Cheers again
I love this format. I could listen to you all day Mr Neeves. Passion and enthusiasm tempered with experience. More please!
Thanks Neevesy awesome vid. In response to your last questioner, as well as a motorcyclist and a car driver. I am also an HGV driver for work/ The best advice i ever received or can ever give is... treat everyone else on the road as so incompetant they are liable to kill you not because of a desire to do so but because they are so unaware of what is around them.
Exactly!
HGV driver here too, been driving heavies 26 years, only riding 3.5 though, i found a lot of our skills transfer to the bike, observation, forward planning, hazard awareness, defensive driving etc, also that sixth sense that someone is about to do something daft, which is just about every day nowadays.
@@MarkycarandbikestuffIAM research has shown that the more types you have experienced the more you understand so the better you are. Respect to the HGV professionals.
I'm an endurance cyclist, road and track motorcyclist, car driver, and qualified Pilot. Every day is a school day...
One thing for the guy who asked the last question, in addition to those safety videos, I'd also do a Bikesafe course by the rozzers, they're great. Then have a think about IAM or ROSPA training. But, as Neevesy said about freak accidents, you can't take away all risk. Once I was going south on the M6 commuting back from work on my SP1 (those were the days lol) and a lorry kicked up a piece of steel about half a meter long, it was a broken leaf spring. It missed my head thankfully but glanced off the side of the bike and went through my foot. Lost of pint of blood in a few minutes and luckily another biker showed up to call an ambulance. I did laugh about it later, but that was probably the morphine.
Blimey!
Thanks for answering my question Michael. I’ve just dug out my copy of MCN June 7th to reread the reviews of the bikes you mentioned. Keep up the great work.
ENDO Thx for that. I'm probably showing my age here, but i haven't heard that in ages. Seems now all the kids call it a stoppie😅
Been riding since 09 now covered over 100 000 thousand miles with all machines always rode the roads like a chess game always thinking 5 moves ahead cheers.
Exactly. You need to be a grand master!
Thanks for the time and effort you put into these videos Neevsey. I’m mid-forties and new to riding - I passed my test last year and have learned lots by listening to and watching your videos and ‘how to ride’ series on MCN too. My question is about maintenance - how do you look after your bike in terms of general cleaning, cleaning/lubing the chain etc.? Everyone seems to have their own tried and tested products, I just wondered what you use. Thanks, Rob
Again, about the ABS braking on track. Obviously it only works with non-IMU'd systems. But if you outbrake the front with the rear, you'll "distract" the ABS pump with the rear wheel by endoing a bit and you can get real deep into the front brakes. Think Toprak but not as cool =P
One of the best performances bike content on intraweb. Thank you
IMO the Daytona 600/650 is one of the best-looking bikes of the early 00's regardless of engine size. It also seems to fit physically bigger riders, before every supersport or superbike became smaller.
Watching your videos are interesting as riding bikes, never gets bored. Keep it going 👍
I remember the first time I found ABS at the track. It was unsettling, literally. The on/off of the brakes left me unsettled going into the corner. My local track is pretty free-flowing so it's not a big issue, especially since the ABS on the Triumph ST 675R aren't very intrusive imo. I usually find the ABS when I miss my braking markers :)
Blimey Neevsey , loves Gs, scooters and harleys 😂 keep up the fab you tube shows 👍
Enjoy the q&a's, thank you for putting them together.
Pleasure 😃👍
Last answer first class🎉
Liked the video for the Daytona question. A few years ago I saw a picture of a Daytona 600 doing a wheelie in practical sportsbike magazine and from then on I had to have one, first I had the 600 in red then I had a 650 (rough to start with) but then tidied up by me. The 650 is I think more grunty than the 600 and the gearbox feels a little more solid. Both make an incredible sound and are comfortable road bikes (relatively speaking). Everyone praising the new ZX4R for being a bike you can ride hard on the road and get a lot of fun/noise without doing stupid speeds. I feel my 650 is a little like that, not hugely fast but kept on the boil its really rewarding to ride. I've also tracked her and it's more than enough for my ability level! Thanks for the video!
What a resource! Howdy from Louisville Ky, USA
Howdy!
Beneficial in the wet, or on a degraded track. In a race, before the days of ABS I reckon ABS would have saved a huge front end lose at 180kmh under brakes when I picked up some marbles from running too wide to try for a better apex. I’d have overrun the corner, sure, but I wouldn’t have split that kidney and pissed blood for a few weeks…
It’s incredible to hear you talking about dirt bikes, it’s like im hearing muself :) i got trough 2 kx250r and i love trail riding in the mountains, but got into it rather late in my ealry 30 and could never master it properly.
Riding a big Harley in the mountains is like dancing with your lady in a ball room setting. You have to be smooth will staying a little wide toward the center and dip her into the apex toward the shoulder. It's so enjoyable.
Dancing with a fat lass, you mean.
That's an awesome video! Thanks a lot for sharing your opinions, much valuable and appreciated! Cheers!
Great episode... just to touch on the H-D question, I feel that H-D have set motorcycle development so far behind in the cruiser class throughout the years. They have did its customers an injustice by not driving development forward.
I own the new Hornet and I’m a new rider. I learned on a non abs old Hornet 600. And wenn practicing emergency braking I could get really hard on the brakes on the 600. But on the new 750 with abs it comes on really fast.
So I’m now practicing braking hard as possible without abs kicking in. But yes abs comes on really fast, even in hot weather dry weather.
Interesting video, I thought for a second, this was someone taking the piss out of ABS and Harley Davidson, but I was wrong. I'm 60, been riding 50 years, I've done vintage motocross and classic track, I have HD Lowrider 1988, hotted up, with a sidecar, had it for over 30 years, and a Pan America 2022 Special, two very different bikes. I've had several accidents in my 20's and 30's, I related to your advice on getting back on and riding defensively. I've ridden Japanese sports bike, owned a Moto Guzzi Mk V in 1989, I chose the Lowrider for a challenge to get it handelling, fitted longer and harder shocks and fork springs, finally got there last year, and then put the sidecar on full time (had it for 30 years too). The Pan Am is a monster, so much acceleration, handles not like a HD, and has so much tech, it is amazing. My first bike with ABS, haven't had it activate yet, and I ride practically everyday, commuting on it in a city, in all weather conditions. I have had to brake hard, but maybe because I haven't had ABS, I can feel when it is about to lock and feather the brake.
Crikey you nearly gave me a coniption! You want to get over to sunny Colombia -it's where ADV is where it's at🤣
Been looking forward to this.just put an e bay bid on my 4th bike.cant get enough
Brilliant 😃
I'm fresh to riding and having trouble with my foot positioning on the pegs. I prefer riding on the balls of my feet as I feel I can move the bike under me much more effectively, although this leaves me doing a sort of jazz tap dance; constantly moving back and forth for brake and gears. I like using lots of back break, and as I'm on a cb500x (A2 license only), gears are a big issue.
Thank you for all of these vids. Keep it up 👍
Great series of videos and appreciate you taking the time to do them.
This question may need a whole series on it's own but here it is;
In your opinion, what are the best tyres out at the moment for summer road riding? Obviously this differs from bike to bike and rider to rider as well as use. But as an example, I currently have a Triumph Street Triple 675 R, mainly weekend B Road Riding, with the odd commute here and there.
A part 2 to the question, if you have time, would be about tyre pressures and ideal tyre pressures to run for the road vs Track etc. Thanks.
I love my Harley Davidson Fatbob114.
Awesome chat as always, but can't take my eyes off the alpinestars lid lurking in the background. Was really gutted i couldn't get one on the early release date due to the madness of the bots 😢
Would love to know how it's going? And i love my 2018 Buildbase rep Gsxr 1000r. Never let me down in the fast or slower corners snd still kicks ass on acceleration 😂
I know what video the gsxr vs bmw the question is generating the "suzuki handling issues ". There are a few easy/free things you will need to do if your racing, but for street use you will be fine.
Never had a bike with ABS but would of disabled it before first track day if i had, new track rider may not corner well but hard braking on long straights comes quick
like a tube train on acid.😂 I nearly spit my wine all over the bloody floor. Brilliant!
Travel on the Elizabeth Line trains to experience what AC overhead power can do. No acid required..
I have a 2023 750 Gixxer - no rider aides except slipper clutch. I love it. Seems even beginner bikes have ABS now. How is someone supposed to learn threshold braking if the bikes don't let you do it?
Great video as normal. Very informative and great questions.
I can’t wait for another one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hopefully same time next week 👍
First of all- thanks for doing these videos. Really look forward to each new episode.
Just came back from a road trip, and wondering what your best tips are for comfort on long days in the saddle?
My go to move is dangling my leg just above the tarmac to give it a bit of a stretch (then alternate)
Thanks for another great episode. My question is about clutchless shifting. I don’t hear much mention of it but, I have done it for years to the point where the modern bikes I have had with quickshifters seem a step back for me. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.
I agree! have been shifting up w/o using the clutch since I began to ride, always considered buying a QS. Now that I've ridden my dad's bike with a quickshifter, I actually prefer to upshift without QS, and so does my dad! (For track use I do understand the value of a QS).
@@glennquaedackers5536 I find it also depends on the bike. My new triumph's box is silky smooth, I can do easy up+down without the clutch just with a blip, but I couldn't do that so much on my Fireblade.
Another great & interesting vid as ever! f there was any bike from any era that you could bring back in to production, what would it be & why?
All hail cruise control & heated grips. The biggest clincher for my ever buying modern BMWs
One thing that I do when filtering is to put on hazards lights
Great video as usual!
Could You please make a video about wheelies? How to ,tips, interesting stories etc.
Another excellent show 👏
I thank you 👍
Great stuff. Love the vids. Thanks.
Hi neevsey love your content I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking it would great to have your own show you e got oodles of advice knowledge and advice could listen you 24/7 mate picked up some great tips since watching you please keep these coming thanks
Mike
Thanks matey 👍
you should try green laneing its good fun bit of on roat to get there and then off you go
Keep up the greatbwork Neevsey! When did you switch from arai to shoei?
Hi Neevesy. Loving the videos. I recall in one of your videos that you had an 03 cbr600rr at one point. I have the same bike and have had for around 15 years now, however I'm looking to upgrade soon to a gen 3 S1000RR (mainly for the extra gadgetry, cruise control, abs etc that'll be helpful on a road bike, rather than the extra power)
I'm wondering if the CBR would be worth keeping as a track bike, as its not worth much, I'm not overly keen to part with it and having fitted USD forks, HM QS, Ohlins damper, PC FC, Brembo radial master, Yoshi RS5 etc, would it make a decent track bike or are the newer generation of sports bikes significantly more capable/ easier to perfect track riding on straight out of the box? I'm new to track riding, (been road riding around 20 years) and looking to start off on the right foot rather than using a bike that's maybe less than ideal given its age.
Thanks for your time mate. Keep up the great work with the vids. Ride safe 👍
i would never give advice for people to delete any safety equipment on a bike, however I would never use a bike with TC, ABS etc. I hate it like the c19 virus.
Hi Neevsey. FIrstly would like to say what a fantastic video series this is, I watch them all without fail, thank you so much for creating them.
I have recently got back into motorcycling after a 21 year break having bought myself a 2005 ZX6R which I use a track day toy and am absolutely loving it. At my last track day (Brands Indy) after having my suspension tuned by the resident specialist, as I was getting more confident getting on the power out of corners, on one particular lap, the rear slid just after the apex of Clearways as I was getting back onto the power for the start finish straight.
The tyres that are on the bike came with it (Michelin Pilot Road) and are probably not helping the situation and I know this should be my next upgrade after having already installed track pads and braided lines. What tyres would you suggest for a trackday only ZX6r which is currently lapping Brands in 59 secs that won't cause me to slide while leant over and feeding the power back in, as it's a bit unnerving and I'm not Marc Marquez.
Thank you, please keep up your great work.
I'll sit on a bike facing backwards with you Neevsey! I used to sit backwards on pillion with my mate riding when we were teens... the local constabulary did not take kindly to it 😂😂

Thx for your videos and Q&A's, it's very interesting even for a road only rider like me.
Question about tyres. I live in a hot country with almost zero rain. Looking ar buying a new naked/ super naked to replace my Rocket 3 GT, but I'm skeptical about OEM tyres. Occsionally we do get a bit of dust on the roads but the surface is very good in general.
What would be a good tyre in this environment ?
Small commercial vehicles and taxis are the scourge of the road....they should in theory be some of the best drivers on the road, however sadly the opposite is true.
Taxis are Licensed by the Hackney Carriage office (London) and Local Authorities (UK) so their Number is visible with the Authority on a plate. Thus you can hold them to account for any un-professional driving. Video is best or an independent witness, but the Authority is responsible for regulation and will 'have a word'..
How about using rear brake and front brake at the track after a long straight? 1000cc with abs.
New channel coming soon, 'As if neevsey knows!'
I just bought a 2009 zx6r, she’s pretty minty too. My first big bike!
As a follow up: the previous owner has the front suspension extremely stiff. Do you have any suggestions for setting up the front suspension for the street?
Loving the videos!
If you could only ride/own bikes from one manufacturer for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I love dirtbikes as much as street bikes, so that weighs heavily into my choice. I'd probably go Yamaha. Can't complain with the likes of a YZ 250x, R1, MT-09, T7, and of course the infamous TW-200.
Any of the Japanese brands offer a full lineup, but for me it would be Honda. They have more interesting historic models to collect, as well a full lineup of premium dual-purpose or pure dirt bikes.
Great video as always, keep them coming! I currently ride a Street fighter V4s and love it. I previously owned a Tuono ( one of your favourites) and then a Panigale V4 before going back to a naked bike. I’m thinking of getting into some track days and I’m sure the SF is more than capable, however would be worried about binning it! So what would you recommend for a first track bike ? Considering a RSV4 RR as love that engine , but maybe too much when starting on track. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated, cheers
Great choice as RSV4 has a WSBK winning chassis and carries it's weight centrally for good ease of use. Three engine modes will let you work up from Road to Sport to Track. Personally I align that with tyres so performance road tyres on Sport and slick tyres on Track settings.

Hi Mr Neevesy, greetings from Serbia.
I bought ktm 890duke R based on your and Chris's (bike world) review. I love it, not many of them in my country, so it feels more exclusive.
As i want to try my first track day on it, my question is what tyres should i use for it?
Did you ever get to grips with split throttle bodies on the BMW? Worth going to racing?
Great content. Why are tyres such a personal thing. Every bike I’ve ever owned I immediately put Metzeler rubber on it. My current bike ( s1000r ) came with Dunlop sportsmart. I think they are even better. What are your personal thoughts and preferences?
Great videos Neevesy. Enjoying hearing them. I have a question for you. I’m currently on a 2005 Ducati 999 and I’m ridding sport bikes since I started riding back in 2001. I’m at my 41 now and started thinking on switching to something more comfortable, but I’m not quite sure yet. My question is, is the OG Ducati Streetfighter worth the switch or I better go for the 1098? I do most of my ridding on twisty roads, fast ridding. Is it gone provide me with the chance of taking my mrs for a short ride? Thank you for your input.
Hi, I was wondering 8f you could give me some tips on adjusting my riding style? I was in a bike accident (car, not motorcycle ironically) and left with a broken hip and a crushed ankle. This was years ago but both have limited mobility and affect my riding, mainly in moving my body position on the bike. I love fast, spirited riding and was wondering if you could give any tips given you were in a similar situation? I love your videos, thank you for doing them!
@neevesybikes I love your top about the Legendary Ron Haslam Race School (rip) and would love to contribute to Ron and Ann's merchandise revenue both because i respect them and as a former student.
Please advise where they are available since Google doesn't know?
Hi mate. I think those t-shirts were a limited run, unfortunately and there's no where to buy them now, which is a shame...
Didn’t BMW basically buy a K5 Gixxer and copy most everything when they were developing the S1K that tells me alot.
Hey Neevesy, what's the Alpinestars helmet in the background? I've only just noticed it. Cheers
It's the new R10 race kid. It's very fancy.
@neevesybikes very nice, I will have to look out for it when it is released, thanks for the reply and info.
Off subject - How's the Jobecky sounding and have you done your first gig yet ?
It’s amazing. Far better than me! I’m still waiting for the call-up 😃
What about riding all over Nigeria Cameroon Senegal tray way ride tre gentle
I use abs 1 (1-3 options available) and i havent felt abs on track. back wheel comes up though. I wonder what setting 1 does at all since off is also available😀
Which bike?
@@neevesybikes Tuono v4 2018. Sorry, forgot to mention most important info.
@@lauriL90 ah yes, you’ll have no problems with ABS on that bad boy!
Suzuki are made with loose internals thats why they used drag racing and different than kawi honda yam.. ? heard there moving to wsb
You don't have to be master of of all bikes.
Off road is for extremely strong dudes its very challenging stay away bro a lot of Americans broken their legs on a off road
Neevesy. The question was about a gen 3 BMW S 1000RR. Not newer. The Gixer L8 has a better engine. More power at low and midrange, Peak power is same. And hey, the gen 3 doesn't have a fancy gauge cluster either. No sportbike fanatic cares about heated grips or cruise control. Old fat men and their touring bikes are a different story. And the most important thing is what kind of biker wants to drive a bmw. BMW is first and foremost a car manufacturer. Tuning and other wannabe cars. A real biker hates them and doesn't want to be associated with them in any way.
What’s with all the hate?
BMW is an Engineering company, so competent with various modes of transport. See Honda that is also competent in Motorcycles, Cars, Boat, and Aerospace. Don't confuse their customers behavior with the BMW company aims and objectives. I'm not too fond of motorcyclists close passing behavior when I'm training out on the road bicycle. Doesn't mean motorcyclists are generally bad, just that a few are ignorant of the correct Hierarchy of Responsibility in the current Highway Code and the required passing distance >1.5m.
If I wanted a Harley I'd buy an Indian, they make better Harleys than Harley do.
Hi, sorry for disturbing you. Why on MCN chanel we see russian ural motorcycle advert? It is agressor, it is under sanctions, it is agains all freedom. Agressors hacked MCN chanel or what? If they try to fake they origin, refuse them... just send them to hell or Ukraine ;)
Thanks for your advices and wisdom!
RUclips control the advert not the channel owner.
Slava Ukraine!

Hi Neevesy, love to watch your videos and hear what you have to say.
What do you think about the Nortons of recent memory? Is there any Norton that you would happily have as your own bike?
