  • Over the last few months, I have made some videos giving you a closer look at the Superstock bike, so whilst we had some time at ‪@TTRacesOfficial‬ we filmed a closer comparison as promised.
    Sit back, grab a beer and let me show you the OMG Racing Superbike and Superstock bikes. I explain some of the details we have to consider when we take on the TT Mountain Course.
    Please add any questions to the comments below and I will do my best to answer them.

      @@jameshillierracing Improving every time - takes a while to find your groove, but you're nailing it, and items like this come across far more natural, when it's clear it's something you enjoy. We need to get you over here to Mondello (Ireland!) some day (I'm one of the track instructors here - too old to race any more!! Haha!!), as Jack Kennedy would be a regular guest instructor, being local. But we've had Jeremy McW here and a certain pre-fame Hicky here, taking the michael out of the rest of us saps trying to keep up with him, as he just practices drifting for a laugh! Glen Irwin has even taken my own Panigale around, giving a couple of clicks to the suspension as we were similar weight (made no difference to me.... I was still sh1t!! 🤣). Anyway, keep it up my man, always a good watch. 👍

    Excellent explanation of the two bikes and what makes them different. Met James at this year's TT - he was selling his hot sauce after the last race - and he seemed a lovely guy - happily posed for a photo and signed my lid. He had a great TT and posted some good times. And then went home safely to his wife and children.

The precision over the calculations of the decision making process...during the course of actions, is just staggering!!! Riding a motorcycle is no slouch!!! A rider must be on top of its game, like an aircraft fighter pilot!!! In a hostile environment... After all...what is life if you havent pushed your mind and body to the limit and everything in between???

    Great video comparison James 👍. Two quick questions - You mention the very obvious temperature warning lights, but what do you do if they come on? Is it a case of pull over and stop, or ease off a bit or something else? Secondly, the suspension manufacturer you're using this year is one I've never heard of. Is it a new company or one that's just not known outside of the race paddock?

  • @Albertalorian
    @Albertalorian 11 месяцев назад

    I'm suprised you run Road Shift with those big boots! In the tuck, I can't make my ankle work right to upshift, so I run GP/Race Shift. Then when I situp for braking/corners, my foot somehow naturally finds its way under the shifter to pull up to downshift. Its nice that we have the option these days, I love the front brake adjuster!

    Love this, not just saying what parts you are running but explaining the reason why you use them
    How do you accelerate hard in 2nd, need to be short shifted to 3rd or can you go full throttle thoughtout with just the thumb brake

    • @jameshillierracing
      @jameshillierracing  11 месяцев назад +2

      2nd nearly always requires a short shift as. Always alot of thumb brake.

  • @kirkdunn1379
    @kirkdunn1379 11 месяцев назад

    So much goes into setting up a machine for racing, especially when consequences are extreme.......suspension is a fickle lady......getting it right isn't always common sense like you would think.....each part leaks into others so can be difficult to decipher (compression bleeds into rebound and vice versa)
    Beautiful bikes and well done James!

  • @LasseJOugaard
    @LasseJOugaard 11 месяцев назад +1

    Question: Seeing as the laprecord is now held by a superstock, they are obviously very close. Would you consider it a fair statement, that until now the only major difference was the different tyres?
    Also, do you know why slicks were allowed on stockers this year. It seems to blur the lines between the two classes almost to redundancy?
    Cheers!

  • @Dia_dhuit
    @Dia_dhuit 11 месяцев назад +1

    wow im shocked that he uses road shift even on my road bikes i use race shift,
    not because it makes me faster but because its so much more comftable and feels way more natural when i sit up on the brakes its so much easier to get my foot under the shifter and with my head down accelerating easier to up shift by pressing, sorry hilly but i think its crazy you dont take that advantage my foot would be in a lot of pain. great video best of luck with tt next year 👍
