How does a MotoGP rider keep his balance on the bike? 

Exactly!!!

@Knowledge is the window to the world: I think you meant to say "for sure..."

😑" I meant whatever I felt" btw, what's the point in finding a flaw in my comment ??no offense,mate

@@msreevishnu2810 He's just giving you more knowledge, as per your name, knowledge is the window to the world.

RIP Nicky Hayden

get super bike 1000cc and go to track but make sure while u r taking the corners ur knees must touch the ground than come find me and tell me what do u feel

Then watch supercross dude

Same thing.....

You obviously need a certain speed

@@BlueSquad00not my fault they were speaking Italian

I think I can clarify. I’m pretty sure he meant Balls of Steel. Heavy, and low to the ground. Dragging the knee, and possibly the scrotum, lol.

@Ÿamada r/iamverysmart

Yeah probably 30HP of engine power is wasted carrying the weight of their balls.

Yeah, titanium is strong for its weight. but stainless steel is stronger with a weight penalty. It's not common knowledge. so don't worry if you got it wrong. When you mention weighing them down. it appeared you may have thought titanium was more heavy than steel or iron etc. The comment appeared funny because it contradicted, IE lets go to the extream, "It’s obviously their Aluminium balls weighing them down" (Almost everyone knows aluminum is light) "It’s obviously their Lithium balls weighing them down" (The lightest metal, but also very weak and reactive) "It’s obviously their "graphene aerogel" balls weighing them down" (Look it up, Not metal, but for the extream example) SO! hopefully after all this, you have come to the same conclusion I have. It’s obviously their Uru balls weighing them down !

Ÿamada titanium is very asf

;-) i almost write something like that

As a multi lingual person who's English in not my native language, this is how some people talk because they're trying to translate in English what they're trying to say or express. The "uhh" we do that while thinking of how or what is the proper term or words in English for what we're trying to say or express.

@@thelazycook5103 The point is, his input was absolutely useless. English is not my native language either, but I could go on and on about what to do with one's body weight while on a bike and I could talk about other things beside bikes too. And he is a damn MotoGP engineer. If he can't even put two words together, at the very least they should have tried to find a different person to record on camera. Seriously, what kind of excuse is that? It's probably the easiest language to learn. If you are a part of a MotoGP crew, at the very freaking least learn some damn English, will you?

@@getsideways7257 So you spoke fluently from the very first day? Very impressive. Well done my boy.

@@dayfree2485 I started speaking fluently enough closer to my 20's, even though I didn't have any practical use for the language at the time (not to mention my native language doesn't even descend from Latin). Not only he is a MotoGP mechanic, he was also chosen to be interviewed. In English. If you think he did a great job there, hats off to you... my boy.

Unfortunately these guys are not the best in the world. You will learn one-day that everything is rigged

anyone with enough practice can be like that. They started training when they were kids

yeah because its eeeer balance :D its not balance as balance but its kind of balanced...

That was me today in my presentation today!yy

They don't use the same technology on the bikes, in fact they don't ride prototypes. And their body position is slightly different to adapt to a road with fences and houses threatening to kill you...

@@1wals1 you mean road legal bikes...? Great..

Not exactly road legal, but based on them with many improved racing parts

They use their heavy balls

You turn into the fall and that's what makes the bike stand up. A rolling coin doesn't have an engine, but it tries to straighten itself up to the very end thanks to that effect.

And another gyroscopes guy... Please learn bike physics. For a bike like these ones you would like to *minimize* the gyro effect that gets in the way when you are trying to lean the bike at speed. While going slow the effect is simply unnoticeable. Turning the wheel into the fall is what keeps them upright, not the gyro effect.

Probably the majority of speed is scrubbed off before the Rossi leg dangle comes out.

If you will notice, the title says NOTHING about how a bike turns, nor was I looking for an explanation of that. And yours is rather poorly expressed anyway; I've seen much clearer descriptions of the forces involved in turning. The title refers to the RIDER keeping HIS balance on the bike, not the bike keeping its balance while cornering.

Also, wheels aren't gyroscopes as gyroscopes don't have friction with the ground. Don't talk physics until you learn physics, and maybe try riding a bike some time and stop yapping here.

A spinning wheel has gyro acting on it. Connecting two wheels will tend the gyros into the same plane. Two wheels in the same plane means upright on a motorbike. Counter steering breaks the single plane into two separate planes and the bike will lean into a curve. Also known as 'whatever, who cares?'

@@onevastanus Of course a wheel is a gyro........

@@onevastanus but they DO have GYROSCOPIC EFFECT... without, which, bikes don't work.

so you luv go fishing

By the time i got into motorcycle, and know about Casey, the first time I saw him, the way he talk, seems like his a likable person, too bad he quit and taking care his family.

clementealbiceleste it's a personal decision to quit, he got tired of politics & bullshit. And tired of ignorant fans, namely Rossifans. And you just demonstrated the last point. If there was only riding involved, he would stay, but there is lot more and Casey is kind of private person. He did race because he likes to ride bikes, he didn't do it for fame. So please, respect that.

DUcE Dev!lsTear YOU TRATOR U HATE ROSSI!!!

@@ducedevlstear2471 Indeed... "Too bad he's taking care of his family now". What kind of argument is that even? No wonder he left MotoGP for good.

that's right

you clearly didn't understand the point of this video.

Actually, it would be theoretically possible to go 20 and still drag your knee. It all depends on how tight you would turn at that speed, since the straightening force is a function of both the speed and the radius of the turn (apart from how much of the weight is hanged on the inside or on the outside).

MotoGP bikes' gears are all down so they can shift up quicker

It’s not mandatory, there are some racers that do use the standard

Easier to click down to upshift when hanging off than it is to get ur foot under and click up, especially on right hand turns. Plus under hard braking it's almost kinda another anchor point, this might be just a mental thing tho, not sure if it makes any real difference at all...

It's NOT 1-N-2-3-4-5-6 but 6-5-4-3-2-1-N @Doober50569

Ha ha this comment made my day

That actually wouldn't be as pointless as this video is.

Are you saying a bike weighs less when cornering...

well that generally IS different.... changing gears on a race bike is usually upside down.

@@cliftonmanley3882 Or one could argue it's upside down on production bikes :)

Truth is: physics makes the rider stay on the bike too. If you could 'switch off' the physics mid corner the rider will fall off as there is no centrifugal force to lean against.

No he's raced in Europe since he was 14 and he has to speak broken english/italian/spanish or whatever, now thats it!

Jarno Saarinen that's crazy. Not that long ago I remember seeing a post race interview with him and he sounded pretty normal for an Aussie

I think Jack went through a stage where he tried to come across as continental and exotic but people were calling him out on it so he reverted back to his boring old colonial accent.

He lives in Andorra so he's got that weird broken English accent going on from being around Europeans, Cal Crutchlow has the same thing.

Noticed this too, funny accent that i can't really put under any category. Weird!

Really?

the technique works on mopeds too. just at lower speeds, lol

Ant Laud Yes! absolutely 😂👍🏻 Thats why i meant why the hype!

you said a rider needed a high powered bike

you don't know what you are talking about so SHUT UP!!!!!!!

e. i or whatever ur name is 😂 if u really knew sumthng to add u wudnt comment "shut up" like teenagers! I commented to discuss not to entertain stupids like U 💩!

Kevin Joven Thug life light

DersNoNem it's reversed. one up and five down.

Fikri Gifhary not on a dirtbike! Really is this true

@@gifhary2134 completely false.. Motogp shift is one up, all 5 are down...

Yes he did.. He got launch control he worries not.. But we should probably use 1st gear

@@pepsiboy4274 that's exactly what he said you idiot..

Nik Muhamad Taufiq Nik Mohd Zarami agree. Nature unfair given his rivals

why?

oaeksokw

can't believe you're arguing with professional GP riders. Dunning Kruger effect is strong with you.

It's not "minor". What you have described is only a part of the equation. But the more overturning moment you apply to the bike, the faster you need to traverse the turn to not actually fall onto that side. And you create more of the moment by hanging off farther into the turn. Theoretically it would even be possible to turn with the bike being completely upright if you'd hang enough weight into the turn.

That's bullshit. There's a lot of (bad) motorcyclists who don't move their bodyposition because they drastically underestimate how it affects them. Body positioning is literally EVERYTHING. It affects suspension, braking, lean angle, fucking everything. That's the point of this video, dumbo.

@@say-cred Not "everything". You could put some servos and a transciever on the bike and it could have been operated remotely (it would be very hard to do so at low speeds, however). But with the rider on and properly shifting his body weight everything is improved: acceleration, braking and cornering too. Especially if the bike's weight nears that of the rider.
