    Simon does an amazing job with these tech talks. I feel it's his genuine enthusiasm for the topics that makes it so good. Keep up the great work.

    love this tech talk! Now i know how dificult for rider to find best setup on the weekend

      @Leon51Pagani 2 года назад +4

      Even with Simon explanations i think we just see the tip of the iceberg there. Motorsport is amazing !

    • @graylunsford
      @graylunsford 2 года назад

      Yeah - this is brilliant! and helps me think about the characteristics of production bikes, as well. I agree this just begins to give us a sense of the complexity. As Simon implied, certain tracks and tires call for certain set up relationships and rider tendencies can be emphasized or de-emphasized. and with all the attention to where the weight is, the rider can change everything by moving their body around! Sheesh!

    I'm learning so much, so quickly watching these old tech talks you've so kindly and thoroughly done for us.

    As a mechanic and motorcycle rider I love watching your tech talks, I have found them insightful even on topics I have knowledge and experience with. Absolute professional and the passion you carry for the bikes and the sport have been an encouragement for me to continue to tinker and think analytically about the effects of the changes I make to my own bikes! Every time I hear Simon talk I know I'm about to be learning something!

    I hope sometime
    You get the gig of being on the Mic
    Your a rider
    Great knowledge from a great riders perspective
    Is required
    Also
    Better camera positioning is really required
    Help bring us more intouch - infeel
    Of what where not experiencing
    From a fans perspective
    Thank you

  • @hotchihuahua1546
    @hotchihuahua1546 2 года назад +7

    Feeling the bike ! That is something I always did and tried to explain to many new riders . With feedback it allowed you to make the proper adjustments to the suspension for a better and confidence inspiring ride . Todays performance bikes have so many adjustments , they are a beautiful piece of engineering .

  • @njohnson3331
    @njohnson3331 2 года назад +5

    This is amazing. No wonder it's such a challenge to get the bike setup just right.

  • @viennapalace
    @viennapalace 2 года назад +7

    Thanks for another informative & entertaining video.
    This highlights the role of the test rider in getting baseline settings on new models so new bikes aren't dismissed out of hand in favor of the previous bike, as we've seen more than once over the years.
    Some test riders are clearly better than others & would be an interesting subject for a video...

  • @kirkdunn1379
    @kirkdunn1379 Год назад

    Geometery is insane on a bike....niw you take what he has said and one rider wants the bike to feel one way and another a different way.....same bike but totally different setups.......very easy to get lost....or to even decipher which one is affecting the bike as they all play a part.....and then you have suspension adjustments on top of that.....crazy!
    I use to race MX and would totally lost trying to dial my bike in and we didnt have nearly all the options these bikes have....
    But man when you get it right, its sublime.....you dont want anyone to touch the bike, dont even look at it, lol.....
    Great work Simon

    That was just brilliant.
    I have a love of basic mechanical physics and I love these simplified explanations.
    I have just moved from a 800 MV Brutale to a Street Triple RS, and a basic overview would make them look like a similar bike, but they are chalk and cheese because of those little differences.

    Rins to me seems like a tall guy
    It looks as the guys have worked out where it looks to me
    That his more relaxed - more one with the bike
    A better flow
    His blending much more visually
    To him reflecting the changes - those what you just expressed via whiteboard
    Showing a better flow from getting it working for him
    Such suttle changes
    As you mentioned
    Great work explaing Simon
