#WorldSBK 

ZX7r* (by 2000)

@Dean Gibbons I've had both SP1 and SP2. I have a Ducati 996 atm. The Honda's are a way better bike..

The available space in my jeans has dramatically reduced as well

The most beautiful and the most high-tech World Superbike ever. The 2000 factory R7 with Haga on it was a weapon, turning like a 250 GP bike with 180-185 HP...

@@lewiscollins1045 those bikes were golden.

@@lewiscollins1045 Honda build quality 👌

2019 COTA, MotoAmerica Superbike race, Josh Herrin wins and picks up friend and film star Channing Tatum!

@@raynic1173do you say when piked up to Tony Elias?

Yep, gone are the days of zero fan control. Thank goodness.

It's what happens when factory teams step out. WRC,FIA GT,SBK, even JGTC, were probably as popular as F1 back then simply because of the factory teams.

DORNA🇪🇦 killing the sport .

@@deggis4 its not that, its a production based series, homologating new bikes to win races is expensive and those bikes have to be sold. unlike motogp f1 etc, thats just Thoroughbred racing machines that dont need to be sod for road use.

I'm German and there's nothing like BSB !

James Harrison 14. I made mcn first ever magazine issue at brands hatch 2001. Still got is safely stored

I was 27! I watched it on TV in Washington DC.

Ben Bostrom by that time had already won the second race at Laguna Seca in 1999.

Yes!!

@@SimoFY Grazie è stata una grande epoca per la Sbk.Di Pillo grandissimo telecronista.

​@@SimoFY come si fa per vederle?

😂

Oh gosh, my eyes hurt

Indeed could.. impossible now with a single-tyre supply and differences in electronics rules (mainly referring to BSB's standard ECU).

Loved those days when the local AMA or BSB guys could kick ass on their local tracks!

Yes.

It was 100% clean as there was no contact, haga locked his rear brake as he tipped the bike in. Can’t blame Hodgson for that

FichDichInDemArsch so I’m speaking nonsense for pointing out a fact reguarding his overtake? No contact = clean

No k5 k6 suzuki gsxr 1000

vaadaenmacchi he replaced foggy and started the season in AMA superbike, I’m guessing Catalora who was on foggys bike in this race was test rider but because of his results Bayliss was brought in

@@spainobmxer69 Bayliss replaced Foggy at Sugo and had a nightmare 2 DNFs from 2 races so much so he didn't want to go near the thing again hence why Cadalora was brought in for Donington but he was absolutely nowhere all weekend. Thus for Monza the following round they coaxed Bayliss back and he had a very strong showing a pair of fourth place finishes at time he was supposed to go back to AMA and ride for Vance and Hines the AMA's works Ducati team which dominated the Laguna round of the 1999 season. Rumour had it at the time John Koscinski was gonna ride the bike at Hockenheim but Ducati were so impressed with his performance that season they gave him the seat permanently.

Steffan Bowen thanks for clearing that up, I know bayliss was near AMA at this time, but I was only 8 years old in 2000 so it’s all abit hazy, even with poor results at Sugo you’d have thought he’d have raced donnington as he was the 99 BSB champ and knew the track

dunno but still a great ride on what was a year old works bike that Walker was peddling and he beat the latest and the greatest works suzuki of alstare

@@classicsportclassictiyl8547 He really should've won the BSB title that year if not for that engine failure, maybe his WSBK win made up for that a little bit :)

@@stephentrout7879 he was in position to win it but WSBK podium was one to remember

Don't know but when it happened he looked like the loneliest human being. That walk back was a heartbreaker 🙈

well spotted i never noticed that

when he lost the bike before Hodgson overtook him, i think he banged his ankle against the footpeg. you can see after when he was with medical staff next to the car on track, he was walking weird. hence why he struggled to shift in the last meters of the race. edit: it might be one of his adductors. i spotted he's showing the upper thigh spot that meets the groin area.

@@jiboo6850 if memory serves he had a leg injury going into this race.

@@raynic1173 yes I think he did because you wouldn't have expected Walker to breeze past the way he did I actually messaged Paul Denning who ran Walker that year on the National Tyres Clarion Suzuki and the bike that Walker had was the 1999 works bike running on the teams own EFI system so for Denning and the Crescent team to beat the works Suzuki's was a big achievement

Same bike just different names like the RC45 was also called the RVF750

@@liamhayes687 yeah, but the VTR1000 was the forerunner of the SP1/2, & as far as I know it was never raced in wsbk.

@@SteeeveO I believe the SP1 and SP2 were the racing versions of the VTR1000 I think you might be referring to the VTR1000F which didn't race

@@liamhayes687 WTF guys! i owned a RC51 VTR1000 SP2. this is the full name for market. but they kept VTR1000. and RC51 SP2 for racing. it was just a way to categorize the bikes. in the manual the full name is what i've said above. this bike was a portage from racing so it's normal to keep a racing root for the name.

Not me. Technology and motors way better .

At least there were less nostalgic whiners on the internet.

Hahahaha so true. No toxic trolls yet in those times.

Lee Watkeys yes let’s all take the piss out of a company that has done nothing wrong, and are losing millions because of idiotic comments like that? Completely irrelevant from the virus, regardless if you are joking or not.

James Harrison get yourself a sense of humour

Lee Watkeys Hahhaa using that old chestnut are we sweetheart, I have one little boy, but about that, nah come on.

James Harrison when you say you have a little boy am I reading this right as I have have 5 grown kids and 5 grandchildren and certainly aren’t your sweetheart. Or do you mean you want to have a little boy?

Lee Watkeys I don’t think you got the craic from the get go man. On a serious note though...Take care with them in these times

Because thats the correct pronunciation of his surname, if your name is Jarno why do I think idiot is more appropriate?
