Suzuki 8S. "A little bit more torque than what we've been playing with so far" Was this ridden before the TL1000S? The 1,000 cc VTwin only weighs 9kg more but produces over 91 Kw and 107 Nm torque, compared to the 8S' 61.9 Kw and 78 Nm. I am kind of puzzled here. Almost 30 more Kw, and 29 Nm more Torque is substantial, let alone quite noticeable...
Wish I had gone as I only live down the road. Big Suzuki fan. Didn't get Mcauley to check the bikes out before you chucked a leg over them then😂 Give him my best, not seen him in a while. Had I ride out with his old man today. Cheers, Nath
What a cool video.. Love content like this! Glad Suzuki trusted you with their TL-S 👏🏼😄 I have a TL-R in my collection.. it’s one of my favourite bikes to ride 😎👍🏼
Would of liked to see more laps on the 500.. even a lap on the kat behind you .. I used to have a kat back in the day.. I loved the plate.. last 3 letters were fek 😅.. as per cracking vid my man 🤘
They start to deliver real power around 4500 rpm because of the rotary intake valve . I used to race a TZ750 (reed valves) and that only started to give usable power around 6000 rpm. Also raced it in the 500 configuration with TZ250 barrels on but the throttle became more like a binary device, same power output as the 750 configuration but only a 3000 rpm powerband until redlining at 10500 rpm. In 500 races those RG500's would always pull away from me on the exit of the corners.
I always have time for Steve Parrish he is so funny and a decent guy, he is something the motorcycle racing community/industry needs more of.
I’d love to have left in the story he told me but I’m trying to keep my channel PG 😂😂
@@tmac77 i bet! I read his book😁
His book contains the tale stories 😂
The sound of 2 stroke 🔊🎶
No tacho; no engine braking; no brakes; NO BOTHER! Brilliant!
Bloody ‘ell, I just finished watching Fagan’s Brands round up. My two favourite RUclips channels in one go 👍
My arse was twitching just watching you ride that rG 500 😂 gutted I missed going this year top video taylor👍
What an excellent day ! Surely the TL1000S rates as a higher level bike than the gsx8s ?
I was hoping for a story of missed apex's, won't hold a line etc etc lol.
Was my Idol as a kid. Lucky num 7.
Fantastic video , that 84 RG is iconic , i really miss the sound of 2 stroke racers

Must have been the wrong way around on the editing
Loved that. Group B rally car in bike form
Right hand gear shift, the correct side at last!!!!!!
Oh look, it's Jason Statham at 3:00
Favourite channel, favourite track.
Woo hoo!
Thanks 😁

The best suzuki in the word

Stavros. Legend. I bet you are glad you were born when you were and did not have to Race the RG500😂
RG pulled really well from low revs 😮

Nice 1mate....stavros. What a gentleman.. onboard audio would be great 🏴👌🏴
Looks like you had a blast! I can't believe they trusted a maniac like you with all of those bikes!😉😅 Make Mad Mark jealous?😹✌️💙
Once I heard 44Teeth voice I had to go back and watch this
I’m shocked the RPM gauge didn’t work on that old bike
and the brake fluid reservoir looks like its about to fly off!
Id really like to ride one of these 500 GP bikes...
Maybe even daily it for a while..
Tacho no workie was first thing I noticed. LOL What a beast of a bike ...
Me too 😂
The old tried n true ear tach.
No rev counter on the RG - RISKY !!!! turn the noise-porn to 11
Was that look behind you on the 500 to see if any poo came out of your leathers?
Yes 100% 😂
Did you shit yourself when you broke the rev counter 😅
This brake fluid cylinder makes me nervous
Lucky boy
Any day sone one offers to let you ride there priceless F1 smoker. Thats better than winning the lotto.
Why the crap music on when u are out driving ? It’s really disturbing 😉
not to normal people it isnt
Picture shows it a suzuki lol
SUZUKI
You got passed
Music not necessary
You have to do more than 3 tho before the rev counter kicks in.... ha ha....
