This is absolutely amazing. Probably the best motorcycle racing content I’ve ever seen. Good luck Franco. 👊
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
I really like seeing how friendly all the teams are with each other. It's a nice look behind the scenes.
He's got the speed and talent and intelligence.
Very impressive!
I'll not tell him, he'll only get a big head 🤣
Just amazed at how fast Franco is with no time on the bike. Great to see such a tight group working together. Come on Silverstone.
A superb insight into what is needed to be a top class rider/team and fascination to enjoy. Looking forward to many more and a repeat of last year's TT stuff.
Thanks for another brilliant video glad Franco is okay. That young lad can definitely ride wishing him and team all the best.
Looks like a cracking circuit with the mountain backdrop and bloody fast
That was really impressive Wavey and Franco's clearly blessed with a shed load of natural talent...that 52.99 hangin onto Andy Irwin's coat-tails was mega...and he was spot on with his initial thoughts as to why he lost the front too!
Perfect pre-season content! Awesome work by all. See you at Round 1.
Fantastic insight into how a team should work.Great explainations throughout and cracking banter.Brilliant to watch
Glad you enjoyed it
Great to see real set up and preparation all the small stuff tyre pressures checking bolts really good always helps to have advice and that's bike's someone will always help. Can't wait to see Franco on track 🍀👍
hard work pays off! well done boys!!
Fantastic series and great last test at Andalucia! I was waiting with anticipation to see if he cracked a 1.54 and was blown away when I saw the 1.52.7!!! Having rode Andalucia I can appreciate how fast that really is!!!
It really is fast 😬
Very, very well put together super interesting video!!👍 Hope you do some more - soon. 😁
Just the thing i need to watch to keep mind of the pain as i had a total knee replacement on monday, I've been your content for hours 👍
Hope you feel better soon!
Fantastic videos, keep em coming! Cheers, Doug
Looks like the Honda Fireblade is the choice for top riders in 2023, nice video again Dave
A real good insight of testing behind the scenes bike set up
Amazing video , thanks for all the hard work and background information on your team and other Honda teams . Looking forward to seeing what happens in the various races ahead , Franco looks like he's going to be having a few good battles this coming season 🙂.
That was outstanding, just loved every minute. Amazing to see the help from the other teams given so freely, heartwarming.
We're lucky to have some great people around us
Hi all just been watching the test never realised so much to do good to see other teams helping and then crash good to see Franco is OK and the bike is not mullered all the best lads
There's some really good people about, and luckily Franco is a nice lad so more people are willing to help
Nice to see your started with Neil for those house wives views ;-P Great job showing what testing it like especially when changing bike. So many think its just buying a new bike and your fast out of the box. Really enjoyed it ;-)
That’s awesome!! Best quality stuff I’ve seen in ages! Best of luck to you and the team!
Damn me but Franco is fast!!! .... I have to admit i love the infectious enthusiasm you guys have and i am right into all the "behind the curtain" insights.... Obsession Engineering is MY new obsession lol.
Fantastic series Dave, very enjoyable and educational......Franco looks to be a proper racer 👍🚀
Loving your vlogs and good luck with your longest day ride
Thank you!
Awesome content Dave and the team. Great insight into how the team functions. Go Franco……
Awesome think Francos going to have a good season.
Love everything in this video.
"don't need your pit limiter around here, heh" .... you should always pretend there's a pit limiter even if there's none.
This is quality content , well done 👍🙂
Thanks, I do try 😁
Fantastic content Dave, thanks as ever.
Another great episode 👍
And now a second on Saturday at Silverstone absolutely epic 👍👍👍👍👍
Great vid as usual mate
Watching from South Kaipara Head Aotearoa NZ
Best thing on the u tubes
Bloody brilliant stuff, thanks Dave (and team). Lovely to see McPint sounding less-than-impressed about the antics of the official Honda Race Kidz; and Davy Todd's dazzling white teeth. Thank god the sun wasn't shining on 'em at the time! BTW Dave, is DT defending his British Superstock title this year, or has Clive splashed the cash & stuck him on a Superbike?
DT is having a full superbike season. Will be good to see how fast he can go
@@obsession_engineering Wow! Thanks for that Dave. I have a feeling Mr Todd will soon be upsetting a good few established BSB names. Exciting stuff (to counter the Irish Racing bombshell).
Brilliant video, loved it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great insight many thanks.
Around 20 mins, that bike sounds unreal
Thanks. My top-Tip for non slip handlebars is Self AMALGAMATING Tape, it is equaly sticky on both sides, just enough to relax your grip and give confidence.
Great tip!
That was great.
Great team work Go Franco
'Ere, Dave, if you want the sound of the on-boards to match the excellence of the shots, you should tape the fluffy lapel mic that you shove under peoples' helmets to the underside of the rear fairing, out of the wind. It picks up the sound of the engine without the wind noise.
Great tip!
So cool
Aww Padgett's Dave is such a sweetheart!
Awesome video. Wish more people in the USA were racing this bike so I could get some tips. Lol
If you need some info, drop me a message
@@obsession_engineering I still got your email. I’ll shoot over some questions. Thank u. Can’t wait to see Franco’s first race
Spot on
Are you riding the TT this year?? I saw you at Donnington on Monday but was too star struck to say hello 😂
I am at TT... There's vids coming for that too 😁
Magic 🏁🏁
He’s some boy 👌
You're right there 😁
Are you headed back to Mexico in the fall Dave? This scenery is looking familiar.
Nice
Geeat video
testing it to your limit
Why don't you have crash protection on the frame eg crash mushrooms
Seen too many engine mounts broken off and frames damaged from the impact on the mushrooms, so I don't run them.
They can save little bits in slow crashes, but can cause significant damage too
ha , all the modifications (sure the mony) are needless ? if windspeed turn up to xx km/h
Luckily it's not a drag bike 😁
I'll tell you something, if I was testing in Spain, I'd be getting laps in. Wind or no wind 😂
We were beginning to run low on tyres, so didn't want to waste the laps. Saying that, I'd have gone out 😁
wanted a 1.54 got a 52 not a bad day
We were impressed 😁
that looks like a "Crash"
Billet swing-arm, really?
Yep, utter bling!
@@obsession_engineering Are we talking billet as in solid piece of aluminium?
O M G Amazing
