Isle of Man TT TOP SPEED MOMENTS - American Couple Reaction 

Y'all should watch John Mcguiness on board camera at IOM. Its like one racer said " Theres a gray blur and a green blur.....I try and keep it on the gray one."

Just to confirm, these clips are a variety or the NW200 (Ireland I think), Southern 100 (Southern course on the Isle of Man) and the TT also.

I think it takes em 3 to 4 years to know this circuit well enough.

Reacting baja 1000 off roaf ensenada to la paz baja california sur,please friends

A number of those videos are from road races in Ireland not the Isle of Man.

The riders take years to learn the course and eventually know the 37 & 3/4 mile course intimately. They take years to build up to the speeds they are able to achieve. Hats off and full respect to each of them for having the courage to try this race. I believe the record for the average speed over one lap is 135mph. Insane!

Average speed around the isle of man course 135mph over one lap of 37 and 3 quarter miles this was achieved by Peter Hichman in 2018 during the senior tt which is 6 laps total of 226 miles long. The top speeds reached are from 190 to 205 Mph down sulby straight. most of the corners in these vids are around 150 to 175 mph

Correct, it IS crazy, but here's a brief description of it; It's public roads, not a special circuit so there is hazards to avoid, like, buildings, hedges, trees, light poles, drains, bumps on the road, and of course spectators Each lap is just over 37 &1/2 miles long, big bikes do 6 laps (226 miles), they also do 2 pit stops for fuel and maybe a tyre. The course is called the "Mountain Course", for a reason, there's a mountain to go over....... not a big one, but still a good size. The TT races MUST be run on 100% dry roads, simple reason is tyres....... how can you race on a part wet surface with racing slick tyres - - - too dangerous Over 200 have died since it began in I think 1907.......... spectators too Lap record is just over 130mph average, top speed is just nudging 200mph Biggest shock......... prize money, or lack of, the big race - - - 1st prize??? about £18000, approx $22000 (yes, thousand) And as it's public roads, they have a special day called Mad Sunday where anyone can go around - - no speed limits......... not for feeble weak minded cowards, I don't ride, but have driven it as fast as I could (AMG Mercedes C63....... tuned to about 600bhp) and got passed by bikes!!!! One more thing, if you think these guys have seriously large balls to compete - - - females also race (at the same time, in the same races) Have a look for the following, Peter Hickman on board lap (he has the lap record), or Mark Higgins in a race prepared Subaru, or the best race ever (in my opinion) Fogarty against Steve Hislop (who is no longer with us)

The TT was a dream of mine to race when I was younger. This is the last great race left and their is talk of ending it because riders get killed all the time and five of them just this year alone. Long Live the Isle of Man TT Race...

I have legit done 170 and on two wheels is like warp speed only done 150 on 4wheels and I was more scared on 4wheels

They memorize every corner of the road very well. they are super human. Guy martin is legend....

Try cheese rolling you will enjoy it

When you go that fast little bumps in the road launch you. 5 riders died this year. Oh and not sped up. Yeah this is a dimension of balls and speed I didn't know existed. 🤯😄♥️👍

Since 1937, the only year in which races were held but no fatalities occurred was 1982. The deadliest year was 2005, when 11 people died; three riders and one marshal died during the June race, and six riders and one course bystander died during the Manx Grand Prix in August/September 2005. Since 1911, 267 deaths occured at the race, be it rider, pit crew, officials and spectators.

The TT takes place over a period of 2 weeks. The first week is for practice, the second week is for racing.

Watch the people when you think it is speed up. I have done 165mph on a highway and you are actually on the verge of flying a bump at that speed cause the air. And you keep it floored wide open to maintain

The Last Old School Bastion of Real Men Gladiators w/Big Balls !!!!! 🤔😆 But as you know by know it's the MOST Dangerous race in the world with 265 dying so far with many "Hundreds" injured (including fans) since the first race in 1907' !!! 😵⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰

they AVERAGE speeds of 150 mph wioth top speeds exceeding 200 mph on what is basicly a public road course.

It’s like 38 miles I think and the average speed of the litre bikes is 130mph

The riders have one week of practice before they race but it still takes about 3 years to learn the track properly.

That is true speed no jokes They also do side car racing on that very same track/road

WERE IS VIDEO FLIGHT OVER BOSNIA 😐

been there a couple of times but not to race just to watch i am too much of a coward to race lol but i can tell you that the road encircles the island it takes place on the isle of man an island in between Ireland and England during the two weeks of the tt there are no speed limits and in between races anybody can race the circuit at what ever speed they like and in or on any vernicle they choose last time i was there i drove the circuit in my chevy Camaro and not at those kinds of speed but there was many who tried

Seasoned racers from all over the world try to beat the isle of man track.

You known nothing about the rest of the world.

At the TT races,,they stop 200 meters after finish line.

It's a two week race. One week for practice one week for racing. It's a time trial race the fastest laps win not necessarily who is out front.

The riders have a saying, "there is a grey blur and a green blur and we try to stay on the grey blur".

It takes on average 3 years to learn the course, I’ve been to road races at Olivers Mount in England most of these races are in Ireland the home of road racing. I am going to a race on the 29th of August at a track called Cadwell Park for the British Superbike Championship 😁

They average 130 mph. Because of turns and corners. Usally 190 racers show up they have a week of practice and qualifications and only the top 80 can race

It takes 3 years years to learn the course.

Some of those clips are from the Irish Road Racing series. Still mental, though! Here's one from a 'local' hillclimb - for those used to the imperial measurements, 160 kph is ~100 mph, 240kph is ~150 mph, and 270kph is ~170 mph! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KubGVzd64rg.html - I actually think it's even more stunning than the IoM footage, especially considering the road!

I can assure you, non of this is sped up

ISLE OF MAN SIDECARS PLEASE

Guys you should watch one of the onboard laps it’s absolutely megga

They close the circuit for the 2 weeks during practice and race times I think it's about 8am to 8pm

The tt is a full on road race, they practice first week, weather permitting, race second week, you can race on the mountain road, no speed limits, the roads are a mess, you wouldn't believe how bumpy they are, this should be on your bucket list, you think it's scary watching go yourself we camp at laxey football ground, come meet us all, we have a fantastic time all bikers together, it's the one time you can legally take your bikes flat out on a road. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

Yes, some of it is sped up on that bend, and the guy who lost his hair had put a wig so they could do that gag for a laugh.

Not all TT footage

You'll like this guys.. Isle of man,, multiple on board cameras with Pete Hickman.. Would love to see a reaction video😁

Some of these clips are not from the Isle of Man but from Northern Ireland and other track race venues. This year (2023), the 37.73-mile lap was covered in just 16m 36.114s at an average speed of 136.358mph by Peter Hickman. Some of the corners are taken at around 30mph.

Some footage from the NW200 in Northern Ireland. Some from Billown circuit (including the church bends clip) which is part of the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man. The 5:22 clip of Bray Hill is right by my house - 160mph in a 30mph limit! It takes just 10 seconds to get there from the start line so shows the incredible acceleration of these bikes. Best place to live in the world & watching the races is completely free!

A colleague told me about a rider walking the course in a documentary talking about coming over a rise and then a hitting open bend at full speed. How he would aim to skim the plants on the bend with his helmet, as he got to that point he found out the plants were mosses growing on the stone wall. He said the rider looked ill at realising how close he came to serious injury.

They are a few road races for the year the ulster gp and the northwest 200. The riders come from British superbike championship or world superbike championship and some are just strictly road racers

The race is held over a Two week period, One week for practice and one week racing.

Despite how well prepared they are...sometimes...it does go wrong. It ain't pretty when that happens 😬 But the sheer thrill to do this must be truly amazing 🤯

I'm 51 now and rode dirt bikes and road bikes from 6yrs old to my mid 40s. So many people don't realize when on a road bike you dont just lean into curves, actually leaning plays very little role. Well for instance if your taking a curve to the left you turn the handle bars to the right and curves to the right you turn the bars left. It's not a drastic turn but the faster the harder you turn. Think about it🤔 if your going straight and you turn the bars to the left which way will the bike lean? It'll flop to the right and vise versa.👍

Average lap speed 137.8 Mph. One lap is 37 ish miles. Only two walls to worry about on the circuit, the one on the left and the one on the right. Also have a look at Mad Sunday. Mountain section is open to public with speed limit removed.

You should check out some Rally videos. Cars doing some pretty crazy things, and drivers with incredible skills. They get lots of air, controlled power slides and take corners sideways. And the fans are dangerously close. I think you'd really like it.

Hey guys great reaction video. Tt race is 1 week of practice and 1 week of racing including 7 races. Watch Guy Martins epic lap on board.

Check out guy martin tt racer and documentarys on mechanics world records one hell of a nice man

They race 4 times around the Island!!! They Avg. about 150 mph!

Top average 135 mph 37.3 miles. The Conner Cummings crash wow wtf how did he servive. God bless you Mr Cummings.

they have a week where they can ride on the road at normal speeds to get use to the road in detail.over 200 people have died since the TT opened.and the public.

My dad RON GLOVER passenger JOHN PENNINGTON 750cc NORTON finished 13th 1968TT 3 times he raced in the TT me and my brother we were going to start racing 1980s are we wanted to race in the TT...my dad is on google RON GLOVER SIDECAR RACING TT.

They're not jumping they're lifting of the ground because of highspeed on the wavy track

So great you guys watched these two videos!! CHECK OUT Isle of Man TT GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! 🔥⚔️ I used to play this on PS1 Moto GP game! even in the game when u catch air or wobble U heart skips a beat then goes OVER DRIVE beating 250 bpm LOL I CANT EVEN IMAGINE IN REAL LIFE OMG!!! That Video out!!! {Isle of Man TT Greatest Show On Earth} 🏍 💨 After that if u wanna see a full lap ride along there is another great video where the cameras are literally on the bike on the helmet so u get to see a full lap THE RIDER JUST RIPPINGGG ITTTTT! #Subbed

Been Running since 1907 I think Now. Avg. Speed for a 37.5 mile lap is 135mph 280 deaths

A week of practice before races start! But it takes a few years to get to top level and remember entire course enough to go flat out all way round!! Balls of steel! Quite recently just a few ago, 4 riders and 6/7 spectators died! Yeah! Over 200+ riders died since it started in 1906/07?? Average 2+ deaths a year over past 100+ years. Record lap Average speed 132 mph "Average!". Top speed parts 200+ mph! Ordinary bikers/members of public get to cruise around the same track week before, on in-between practice times obviously! It helps to have more eyes on track n wear road on, getting the smallest bits of track, or in case unforeseen small tiny hazards, on road etc. But final checks obviously made.These top boys are more tuned in that Jet Fighter Pilots! Not much you can hit in the sky really if U make a mistake! One mistake in a TT race and your life could be over!😬

So some of your footage is from Northern Ireland, not Isle of Man. Specifically the NW 200 and the Armoy Race. Still, fucking wild!

Can you imagine the mustachioed and paunchy US biker with his HRLLEY backfiring but not in the middle of these bikers?

I am glad that my motorcycle is incapable of exceeding 125Mph. It runs out of gears (apparently,) not power. To be honest, I have not tested this out myself. it will do over 90Mph happily, at which point I decided that both i (over 50 years old) and my motorcycle (over 25 years old) wished to continue to get older. Lots older. 200Mph? Pardon my language, fuck that!

In tat dip they r doing close to 200mls they have a practice week then they are off good luck to everyone this year god bless and keep it on the black stuff ❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Out of all the Americans past and present who race bike Dave Roper is the only one to have ever won a TT event/class, and that was in 1984. As for the course it is a little over 37 miles long, and the riders do 6 laps for their time, as it is a time trial, and the really quick guys can do a lap in under 18 minutes.

I haven't raced at the Isle of Man but I have ridden from San Francisco to Burnaby, British Columbia in 19 hours on my RZ500.

Guys I'm from a Madeira 🏝 Portugal there's loads of rally there it's mad😅😂 you love it lol 😆 😄 you can watch some videos from there lol. Love your video 😂😂

The fastest lap in 2023 was 136 mph, so at times over 200mph and here it is on board with Peter Hickman, enjoy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-31RZ5wU-Fg0.html

You asked to comment if anyone ever raced like this. I raced AMA superbike and also raced in Asia. Mostly on race tracks though. Still can get up to 200mph on some tracks likecShanghai F-1 track in china. I broke over 30 bones in my career. So much fun. Big adrenalin rush but also really focused. I never saw rhe crowds just right in front of me and raced my plan.

Those bikes provide a ridiculous amount of downforce hence why when they do jump at 200mph they are back down very quickly. If a normal bike could hit those speeds and you hit those kinds of jumps… you’d probably have time for an inflight movie 🍿

You can't comprehend how fast they go until you go and watch it. I'm from Northern Ireland and the North West 200 and the Armoy are amazing. Look up the Dunlop family, Joey, Robert, William and the only one left MD the bull Michael Dunlop

A lot of that footage is i n Ireland at the Northwest 200, not at the Isle of Man... top speeds are over 200mph.... Yes it's on closed public roads, not a racetrack...'

That is very few clips of the TT, Nw 200 means north west 200 Northern Ireland and all the TT riders know the circuit

The mentally is as follow. Speed is safety, and you only brake when you see god. The Minneapolis clip is to show how the race is in the US. Wide, fenced and public far away. Same speed in the Isle of man but very narrow, no fences. Only hoses and stonewalls and public teo feet from the bikes when passing

Check out Guy Martin - Speed. He's mad as a bag of ferrets. Absolute Hero! 😱💕

The average speed is 130mph... Fastest places reaching 200mph or more

At 4 mins 15 secs the wind actually knocks a spectators wig off 🤣🤣🤣

The first part of training is to have your brain surgically removed. I went over to the Isle of Man and went round the course ( not in race season) I believe an appropriate phrase is "Oh! Heck!". Didn't even get close to speed. Lovely run though, if you have the time to look at the scenery.

Training First time competitors are put through mandatory rigorous exposure with very experienced tt riders. Practice takes up the entire first of the event. The average competitor, regardless of professional experience, isn't "comfortable" enough to push themselves competitively for the first 3 years.

I live 20 miles away from the NW200 circuit and its mad, I've been to the TT 7 times and its madder, you really need to get to the UK to realise just how mad it is

2 riders and 3 spectators died one year. This year a side car passenger was killed 2023. I think the death toll since it started, I think the death toll is up to 260+. They have practice rounds. But the rest of the year it goes back too a normal local road. ❤❤❤

No once a Year 2 weeks one week pracky one week Race in different cc classes up to the TT Seniors Class! Grand Daddy 1100cc Unlimited Class

@2.10 that not isle of man, the dont race wet tracks at isle of mann. thats probably an irish race

the highest average lap speed in 2023 was 136mph!!!!!!!!

I dont know if when you have grown up watching the TT it doesnt seem that bad. Been a few times over the years love watching Guy Martin. But the Americans seem bowled over with the TT its such an old race. Trust me its not sped up its fast LOL

So far there have been 280 deaths of riders since it began and 3 spectators died too but this does not include accidents with other injuries which in one rider included a broken back,shattered pelvis,broken arm and concussion to name a few but he was back two years later racing again. 2005 was the worst body count in the history of it which was 11 riders who died. People are trying to get in banned but the riders,fans and organisers are fighting hit. It's not the government of the Isle of man as it brings in around 30 million every year just for this one race. You should watch the side car races two which is just as insane as this. Bother and women are both on the track and they all know when they step up to that line that at least one of them is NEVER coming but as nearly all of the racers say they take comfort I n the fact that the racers were died doing the thing they loved.

it takes a special breed to run the tt.i been safely riding 16 years.& firmly believe these guys are NUTS.i prefer to live a few more inches away from death.

What u need to watch is the film TT3D CLOSE TO THE EDGE 2011

Yes of course they practice this course many times and get info on it, it's 37.1 miles a Lap !!! A lot to learn with all kinds of pavement changes and villages, walls, bumps that you get air on and weather !!!! Massive skill and Balls needed !!!

Most craziest riders of the world...its not a track, its a normal road, with trees, fences, stonewalls, paintings on the road and some damaged ground...if you want to see the real crazy stuff just watch a complete round on it, i think its on YT too. And dont forget all these riders who gave their life on this road.

A orkmate of mine used to be the sidecar man in the sidecar races on the IOM TT, he was a nutcase, lovely bloke though.

Like like omg omg like omg omg like like omg thrilling narrative here!!!!!!!

Probably the worst video you could have used to show the TT, half the video clips are not even from the Isle of Mann.

The wide open mouth 'surprised' look on thumbnails is becoming off-putting as so many reactors are doing it; suggests a degree of fakeness.

the tt is the most dangerous road race in the world they average 130 mph but get up to speeds of 200 plus you have got to see it live to appreciate what these guys do the greatest free show on earth respect

Looks like at least 3 different types of racing in this video. Isle of Man TT, Irish road racing, and MotoGP. In the TT, the racers start in 10 second intervals, the other 2 races are started in packs. MotoGP is on a race track, and the others are on roads.

They say it takes three years to learn the nearly 40-mile lap of the course well enough to to flat out. I have personally ridden a motoercycle at 130 m.p.h. But not on the Isle of Man!

Basically the same riders every year. Only so many people are crazy enough to do this. They know the roads intimately.

Racers Follow the Ideal Racing line . If they Dont they go offcourse and crash into someones Dining Room

little over 200 in straights average one deadly accident a year all special modified bikes.not your out of the dealership bike

Over 200+deaths since 1907 they say it takes about 3years to learn but you ate always learning if u get there bottom of brayhill you will not believe what you r seeing im 51years old and am still blown away
