They are still nuts.. I have a friend done Rally Dakar ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5GrKUFTe9po.html Not as fast but fuck me he is badass
None of this footage is from the TT, which is a time trial rather than out and out race. These are all from Irish Road Racing, traditional mass start races on public roads.
That's not dust being kicked up, that's water. There's a whole series of these races, run on closed public roads in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, England and the Isle of Man. The first race was the Ulster Grand Prix, the second was the North West 200, both of which are in Northern Ireland. The most famous race of the series is the Isle of Man TT, the Isle of Man is an island mid-way between Ireland and Great Britain. The Tourist Trophy is the oldest race in motorcycle history, first run in 1905, and annually since 1907, at 37.73miles, it's the longest course in the world, and whereas the other races are all mass starts, TT riders start individually at ten second intervals. The TT is held over two weeks, one week for practice, one week for racing, 7 races for different classes, including 2 three wheeler sidecar races, the sidecars and smaller bikes complete 4 laps, the bigger bikes complete 6. You're racing the clock, fastest man to finish wins. Lap record holder is Peter Hickman, in 2023 he did a lap averaging 136+mph, there's a POV of that lap on RU-vid.
The Isle of Man is in the Irish sea between Britain and Ireland. For a long time it was controlled by the Vikings/Kingdom of Norway. It's not part of the UK but a Crown Dependency (as are the channel Islands Jersey & Guernsey near France). Technically the King is their head of council, but in reality they are largely self governing though under British protection. The TT (Tourist trophy) consists of a week of practice sessions followed by a week of time trial races of three laps over a 38 mile course around the island. The TT is widely regarded as the most dangerous race in the world and fatalities are sadly not unusual over the two weeks. As others have said the clips in the video are from road races in Ireland, rather than the TT,, although they feature many of the same competitors and their bikes.
None of this footage is actually from the Isle of Man TT. Which is held on the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 It’s other road races from the North West 200 which is held in Northern Ireland in the second video. And the first one looks like clips from the Ulster Gp and other Irish races. It all makes up the world of road racing though and has pretty much the same riders doing the different events 👍 A lot of the Videos on RU-vid has the Isle of Man TT in the title when in fact the footage is from a completely different race
The TT is insane! I’ve lost hours watching vids just being stunned at the madness of it, try a top speed moments video that shows the jumps, crowd reactions and in the rain. These riders are crazy/brave but you can see it’s a life goal.
I remember my father had a motorcycle about 30 years ago and he took me with him sometimes. His Honda CBR1000 "only" went 260 km/h and sitting on the back made it even scarier.
@@mymartianhome Yes it does matter as it's not factual [where it is held]. And it's pretty obvious statement re 'front room' hence why they have to know the course backwards and are tested on it!
@@anglosaxon5874 To be fair, he searched Isle of Man TT, and this came up being one of the most popular videos that has "Isle of Man" in the title. Its not really his fault for not understanding it, it's Lock9s fault for putting it in his video title for more views.
@@shona5512 'To be fair'...It says it in the title of the video!!!! So 1] not a very good search engine [I know] and he [like most Americans] didn't pay attention. It says 'Type Race (type of), Isle of Man TT] at the end.
As others have said these clips are from various races across Northern Ireland. All full on road races. NW200, Dundrod, Cookstown. Nothing like the Isle of Man TT which is a time trial.
You might like to look at 'The Isle of Man TT Crashes - a Documentary' which follows the hopes of an Australian competitor. It's about 14 and a half minutes long. It gives you an idea of what motivates people to take part in these dangerous races.
What you see is obviously not dust, it's water. You can see that the ground is wet. Furthermore, all these shots, despite the title of the video, have nothing to do with the TT. At the Tourist Trophy you race one at a time against the clock, while here as you can see they are in a group like in a normal track race. This is still a nice compilation video of public road races in Great Britain, but the TT remains absolutely in a world of its own in terms of charm and unfortunately also in terms of danger!
He got the wrong video ! The race at Isle of Man video all the other reactors reacted to you see a lot more houses and a huge crash which landed the guy in hospital . Also it is time trial races on the Isle of Man where they start one by one not with a lot of bikes together. Every other reactor reacted to Isle of Man The Deadliest Motorcycle Race. Dont believe me just look up other reactors like the Wolfhunterz who did a reaction to that video.
Its actually the Irish racing series NW200 TT as their start in groups. The Isle of Man TT is single bike starts in gaps. Both however are craziest form of racing on the roads. Avagud1
The Isle of Man TT is one of the most amazing but also crazy and dangerous races i've seen. It has something close to a 2.5 avg of deaths per race (if I remember correctly). It's said that before departing to the IoM TT some of the drivers just say goodbye when going, because they know that its very likely that someone won't come back, and it might be them. That said, it is absolutely incredible watching the pilots just pushing to the absolute limit of human and bike capabilities in normal roads and through the city. There's really no other race like it and I urge you to check out videos of the Time Trials in the Isle of Man TT, it is just something else.
Like, these guys just have a different mentality and you need to have a couple screws loose up there, I love racing and motorsport, I love speed and driving, but to have the balls to just got 200 mph in a bike, where if you hit something its done, you're likely gone in a flash, I just can't, I'll stick to my 4 wheels and drivin inside a metal cage that gives some kind of protection. I couldnt imagine going 100 mph in a bike, let alone going double that
Hi. I just found a really great new video about the TT posted just 6 Days ago with like 13k views, but it's a banger. Hope you enjoy "I Wanna Talk About The Isle Of Man TT" by I Wanna Talk About...
This didn't actually look like the TT - riders in that don't do a massed start. The IOM TT is world's most dangerous race - and the racers love it that way. You have to be crazy to ride the Isle Of Man TT, but it's the pinnacle of motorcycle racing. The Isle of Man is a British territory (technically a crown dependency) between Great Britain and Ireland. It's about 35 miles by 15 miles in size, very hilly, and the Tourist Trophy (TT) races go around it on public roads the whole way. Madness on two wheels.
As many others pointed out, most of this was Irish road racing rather than the IoM TT. The IoM is legendary because of it's length. It's too long to easily memorise and very easy to mistake 1 corner for another. Road racing on the other had adds racing for position into the mix on similar roads (sometimes much smaller and bumpier, sometimes smoother and wider but always exciting.. The most amazing memory I have of any motorsport is being on the back straight of the NW200 and the bikes passing us 4 wide @200mph.. unreal. If you want to get a real feel for the high and low of the road racing scene, check out a documentary on the Dunlops.. legends surrounded by tragedy, road racings Dale Eirnhart.
Most of this is the nw200 on BBC live next week Times of livestreams on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website (times BST) Wednesday 8 May - 10:00 to 14:30 Thursday 9 May - 10:00 to 14:30 and 17:30 to 20:45 Saturday 11 May - 09:20 to close of racing
The wheelies are not intentional, they relate to the power of the bike when accelerating hard. You can give it a dab of rear brake to bring the front down. 2:18
In 2023, the fastest speed hit so far is 223 mph, reached by Mercedes-AMG's Lewis Hamilton at the Italian Grand Prix, while Valtteri Bottas currently holds the record for the highest speed in an F1 race, hitting 372.5km/h (231.4mph) in the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix.
I you want to watch real TT action that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up search Guy Martin v Michael Dunlop, it's a single onboard lap of the TT course.
This is on streets mate just normal public roads, I went to the Ballaugh TT in 2014 when Bob Price hit a pub wall at horrible speeds which took his life was horrible but these riders know what they sign up to
TT seems like real exciting racing, unlike stuff like F1 where it a\ll just seems rigged, especially with it not actually being a race most of the time with the no overtaking bullshit. Never been to a TT Live yet but will b4 i die (unless i die too soon,lmao)

This isn’t the Isle of Man TT, but not your fault with the name the you watched it titled. “What a death defying sport”, sadly, most years not so defiant.
Look at the "Isle of Man TT" Speeds over 200 miles per hour. Not a race per say but a time trial with bikes starting 10 seconds apart. When the race is over after 3 laps of over 30 miles each, they will have completed 300+ turns at speed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HuC1lcS2FlQ.html

_"Death-defying!"_ Well, er, no. Look up just how many people are killed, doing this, both in Ireland and on the Isle of Man, both on two wheels - and three....
I have gone 225MPH(~370km/h) in a car. Things move differently. If you've ever played GTA and gone top speed in a sports car. It's a bit like that. The traffic just disappears on your sides.
@@haystackhider7158 I live 20 mins from the autobahn and I've raced karts and GT cars most of my life(raced for 28 years now) I know a lot of people in the space(I know a current Formula 1 driver and a Le Mans winner, I've known way more than a dozen Le Mans drivers) and some of them have fast cars. I do not. Personally I just have an Audi A5. The car was a Bugatti Veyron. It's probably the most common car you can get that goes this fast.
I've been on a motorbike doing a 110 km/h in Vietnam. That wasn't even fun anymore. The draft and bumps in roads are deadly at that speed. 340 Km/h is madness.
TT stands for Tourist Trophy but this racing was not on the Isle of Man. Please watch a vid. on the Isle of Man races if you want an adrenaline rush. You have just watched a children`s tea party by comparison. Tron is not a real person. i have two thumbs but unfortunately I can only give you one, up that is.
This is not the isle of man TT, i knew it wouldnt be when your thumbnail said 106mph like that was impressive ha ha they doing 200mph plus in the TT, i dunno wtf this is but it aint that.
This was false labelling. The clips were from racing in Ireland, and not the world-famous Isle of Man TT races. Still an enjoyable video, but it's a bit like saying it's of the Indianapolis 500 and actually showing some event in Montana.
