This is GOLD
Totally agree 😊
Thank you for sharing Mike! Just goes to show that it really pays off listening to the pros. Also seems that Toni Elias is an above average capacity in actually being able to pass on his knowledge. Many riders just instinctively knows what they are doing. Not many of them are able to actually pass that knowledge on to other riders. So also a huge shout out to Toni Elias!
That last sentence of the video is so on point. People like to talk shit about the back markers in MotoGP (people like Tito Rabat) but forget that those people are still at a level of skill that's leaps and bounds beyond what most people can do.
And it turns out Tito is also a world champion.
That's the moment you realize how much infos those guys are able to process on a bike. This is just amazing !
It's a known fact that people throw money at the latest exhaust...while having their suspensions and setup way off.
Yes, and some people will throw money at their suspension but refuse to pay for coaching. Better to pay for instruction than for bling
@@markduncan525 I just throw money 🤣🤣🤣
Wow remember watching him in MotoGP
Always enjoyed watching Tony Ride. Such a competitor! Will miss him on the racing scene.
Big Toni Elias and Mike on bikes fan loved this video.
Toni is wicked in the corners and I'm so unsurprised he was able to help you make these awesome improvements! It would be really cool to see an update from you on these techniques after a month or two of practice and dialing in your bike
I never thought hiring a coach would help as much as it did…it transformed my riding. Such a mental change.
This channel has taught me so much
Unreal! Good for you brother!
Coaching is an amazing thing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. Finally you’re back!
Tony is THE MAN! Great video.
Outstanding video!!
Wow!! ...Tony Elias! who would expect that... fantastic video ...thanks for sharing ...it's amazing how much difference a pro can make.
That is absolutely amazing! What an incredible opportunity!
Five minutes of video well used. Congrats and thank you.
This is awesome. A more hands on approach than california superbike school
So Good! Thanks for sharing mate!
Thanks for sharing this!!!
Toni is a beast! Awesome video
Great video Mike. I raced AMA motocross 40 years ago and haven't thought of riding competitively since. I have watched just about all of your videos and am really liking this type of racing but never thought about it until now. Unfortunately there aren't tracks anywhere close to home (one motocross track) or I'd get my old ass back in the saddle. Everyone needs someone to lap, it makes them feel good. I could be that guy! LOL Liked and subscribed.
what a great coach..... still watch and admire your vlog brother.... keep it up....
Thank you, This is great video!
Been riding a lot n loving your insights -
Great share sir, thanks!
Good stuff. Big fan of Tony Elias in Bennetts Superbike Championship. A real champion.
thanks for sharing! 👊
What a fantastic day on the track!
Great Elias! I always thought he had an incredibly stylish riding in motoGP.
I seriously hope that you thank him for beating Vale at the photofinish at Estoril in ‘06, when Dani low sided into Nicky and allowed him to get to Valencia in a slightly better position to then win the championship
Amen to that. What I wouldn't give to go out on the track with those guys.
Love it. I bet Toni was pretty cool to work with.....
The video is great,I was satisfied, I also sent LIKE👍
thx for all the good info on bikes
So interesting even an experienced rider can learn so much.
Totally jealous! Im putting stiffer springs front and rear on my supermoto, as well. I have been running the stock springs that are made for dirt riding, so yeah, it's probably time for a little upgrade. Great video!
Great video...👍👍✊✊✊✊
Awesome!
Brilliance!💌
useful insights. thanks for this :)
What an amazing opportunity 😍
So cool!
What a fantastic opportunity!
Snyggt jobbat!
Super content
Give us the secrets!! Jk, all of this was an immediate help thank you for making it for us!
Toni is my hero
Big fan from india Mike 💕💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Miss ya!
@Mike
Toni stated in Spanish media : in many circuits in USA you struggle for Grip , so this makes an even battlefield for everyone.
Unlike most people think , small/light weight riders are at disadvantage in MotoGP.
Why? , Your single rubber provider will offer All the grid a limited number of Compounds , rather at the hard side , therefore slim riders like Toni , Pedrosa , McCoy ... Will struggle to warm up enough to Optimal working temperature. threshold .
However they share a outstanding talent at setting suspensions , geometry etc.
To compensate for this handicap condition.
Im shocked this whole time you never used rear brakes
or set his sag

That's awesome! What are the odds you'd be able to meet let alone get coaching from him!
Hey, Mikael.
This is going to sound a bit weird, but I subscribed to you some time ago as I wanted to improve my motorcycle knowledge after having gotten my license last year. I only just now realized we grew up together in Sweden and were friends back in 2nd and 3rd grade at Trollbacken. Sorry for not recognizing you at once. :) I remember you spending time doing motocross back then (and unfortunately breaking your leg). Great to see that you kept riding and thanks a lot for all the fantastic content!
All the best!

Tjena Joel! Hur är det? Vad kör du för hoj? /Mikael
@@MikeonBikes Tja! Bara bra, tack! Bor i Stockholm sen några år tillbaks. Jag kör en Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro då jag ville köra en del grus också. :) Häftigt med flytt till SF för din del.
If you still have your 701 could you do a run though of suspension setup?
Awesome video this 👍🏻
Very cool, can’t believe you never used the rear brake. I never did a supermoto track day without it😅 I learned to ride while using both so it feels wrong to brake hard without using the rear.
Always felt Toni was underrated here in Spain, even being a world champion. I'm glad he's showing his worth in the US!
I'm really curious about the rear brake, did you feel the bike tends to slide more under hard braking when you use the rear brake while downshifting?
saludos desde madrid ✌🏻
@@fuckmylife4403 vs pucelanas ✌️
I saw that Toni is coaching now also. I don't have any SM experience, so I'll have to see if he ever does his coaching on sport bike tracks or maybe I'll have to buy a 690? The rear brake thing is really interesting. I've been able to make a ton of progress without using the rear brake, but I'll give it a shot.
Nice
Could you do a video on rear suspension linkages and what is the difference between different linkages and the geometry/feel changes thereof?
Hi Mike, will we see the rest of the "The history of Motorcycle Racing" videos? Saw part 1 & 2 but waiting for 3, 4 & 5.
I am pretty sute mike is 8 levels ahead of me out of 10, and the amount of correction he had by the racer shows you what it takes to become a motogp rider.

Dude where have you been? Need more video's bro, hope you are well 🤙🏻
Wow!
In gliding, I learn a lot more quicking by following someone.
What do you think about moving the rear brake control from the foot pedal to the handlebars. I have a friend who uses a recluse clutch and then puts his rear brake lever where his clutch used to be and then puts an extra short lever on the same side for the clutch that he rarely uses. He rides desert. Any thoughts for this on supermoto?
More videos please
Please advise on what super motos are good? What did Toni ride?
Great vídeo! I would like to ask, why in motorbikes the suspension have so much travel compared to cars. In cars the less travel, the less change in geometries, the more grip you have. I'm just getting into bikes and I see a lot of travel in all kind of bikes. Isn't that worse than having shorter suspension travels?
Great content as always.
if the bike is too low, the footpegs or other parts of the bike start to scrape before you can achieve the full lean angle that the tires offer
edit: also camber doesnt change during compression so having longer suspension travel isnt that bad
@@nolfavrell4244 Thanks for reply.
I don't mean that bikes should go low as a F1, but they might have less suspension travel. This would give less mass transfer under braking and accelerating. Other advantage would be to have less caster angle variation.
@@sergiosc92 the supermoto bikes in this video have a lot of suspension travel, because they race on tracks which have dirt sections with jumps. supersport bikes are much lower
also some adv bikes look like street bikes, eventhough they are partially tuned for offroad, therefore taller suspension
mike made a video on bike suspension, you might find some specific answers there

Can you do a vid for usage of rear brake please
Why did you put a different rear linkage on your bike? It messes up the geometry and the way the rear shock works so badly.
‘Linkage geometry for the rear’...please explain where and what this is?
How do you book a pro coach like Toni, and what kind of prices do top tier coaches usually charge for a day?
Would love for you to make a video about darksiding.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Would you happen to know if he is doing coaching for mini moto or ninja 400s??
Why did you install the different suspension link?
What bike were you riding and what bike was Toni riding?
Hey Mike, can you help me, I understand swingarm flex,, but I need to know what is feedback in swingarm
Damnnn
How to approach the corner like Tony? Does anyone know?
When I started bikes I learnt to use both brakes. Indeed Moto Guzzi patented a system ensuring that both brakes are used always. So, still today I use the same way to brake. But I see that most of bikers don’t.
Hey Mike, you happen to be Dutch?
Damn now I want to move to Cali 😂
Just visit, living here isnt that good haha

Is it Tony Elise like a five time champion five time world champion probably would’ve led with five time or what how many times is Tommy Lee this is the bomb on a gixxer
