Really, how do you break a '45?! We raced one a few years ago in the No Limits Endurance series, and never once had a mechanical failure. Single bike team/2 riders (RC30 sometimes), doing everything from 3hr to 8hr/1000km. Threw it into the gravel a couple of times, but a bit of tank tape and cable ties (and Ibuprofen!) and back out on track to finish the race! Unbreakable if put together well!
Great video as always. I know we can't usually do it here in the UK, but have a look at Nico Canepa's chin mounted camera videos. Those are insane POV and trump any bike mounted camera position.
Yeah, I fell for your dang clickbait! Just to see Guy in the background rolling up in the black van NEXT to you! 🙀 Would've loved to see & hear the two of you together! I like that crazy Guy! Shame on you, Lee, you dang tease! 😾😹😽
Chatted to big Col at the Manx GP last week, what an absolute character and top bloke. he said you need to get your finger out as JM had done a 120 mph lap on it in a parade and its good for a 129 lap just needs a rider LOL
WHat !!! I thought you were having a BSB conflict. I am coming to the ManxPG all the way from Oregon and I will definitely look forward to seeing you there. Yippee !
@@markfoster2033 Reckon you're right. Can't think of another Yam 500cc air-cooled 4 stroke. If it is then it must be seriously tuned cos the 500 road bike was an overweight under-powered pig 😂
Hey Lee, I'm 37 and after an 11 year riding hiatus I'm finally back on 2 wheels. I need help, I have ZERO confidence in corners, what would you recommend should be the first thing I should focus on to improve my cornering ability?
30 seconds in and reading comments.. Not expecting to see much of GM 😂 Gorgeous bike, but I’d still sell it and buy an ‘mint original’ road RC30 instead 😜
Lovely bike Lee, looked like you were enjoying it out there! 👍. Just a quick question about the bike giveaway that you're doing, If I change my name to NEIL by D-Pole then could I please win it? As its my most favourite bike in the world and I am worse than broke at the moment. Just a thought, and please please consider it. Keep up the good work 👍.
When you said 500 Yamaha I was expecting a TZ. 🤗So are those 500's based on the mid seventies XS500? They really looked the part at the time but I don't recall them being a good bike or popular choice at the time. Every credit to the guys in using that motor to make a competetive racer. 👍
XS 500's had a poor reputation at the time. The engines had an inverted shovel shaped air duct to provide cooling to the head. Consensus decided this looked a bit rubbish, so they were removed. Cooling and distortion problems ensued. If the race bikes have oil temp problems and the solution is a road styled/dimensions duct then harder use ought to bring back the original problem. First production 4 valve per cylinder Yamaha, (and possibly Jap) machine. Anywayz; that's enough anoraking for one evening. Andy.
Wheelies? ...come and play with the big boys at elvington ..,. August 21-22 world records if you wanna talk about wheelies ,,posting for a friend .....with a mullet 🤣
Great to see Lee and guy getting along great and having a right laff on this video " said no one '
This has to be the best youtube video featuring Guy Martin. Love the Yamaha Lee, looks superb.
What an awesome bit of kit! I can only afford the RC-51 but that, running or not, is my freakin' dream bike!!
Do you have the SP-1 or SP-2?
Since Lee broke it, they could have done a minute of two under the dress of the RC45 for a look-see ..spectacular racing motorcycle ...
Love these videos, such great watching. Thanks for the content and big thank you to Christie for editing these vids.
Came for Guy, but stayed for Lee! Hahaha
Awesome Lee, cant wait to see you ride at the classic
Loved the old race bikes and the banter. :>)
Love the channel mate, keep up the good work lee, big fan💪😎
Love seeing your relationship with all the guys...👍👍👍 A happy life
Neil getting interrupted by Guy 🤣 He's wasn't happy 🤣 Neil's a youtube sensation now.
Joey Dunlop bike. They were the days !
Love those old bike, thanks so much
Unlucky with the RC45 Lee, Joey and Phil never seemed to have a problem with theirs. 🤭🤭
I never saw Mr Martin.

Great stuff Lee, Thank you!✌️
Loved seeing Guy for half a second but I'm more interested in why, at the end of the vlog, you appear to have half of a moustache?😂
haha; i missed that 1/2 a second
Looking forward to the Classic TT great vid as ever 🏍💨👍
I hope they get it sorted 👍.Another top vlog,once again many thanks to the editor/Producer Christie.
Rare footage of John Chapman without an ice cream 🤣
Great to know you'll be at the classic TT :-)
That RC45 looks and sounds beautiful 😍
Great video as always. I know we can't usually do it here in the UK, but have a look at Nico Canepa's chin mounted camera videos. Those are insane POV and trump any bike mounted camera position.
At least the shameless title will bring in thousands of views to watch you talking to Neil 👍
Ha ha
He said testing with guy not filming guy testing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Perhaps Lee is contractually only allowed to film TT winners 🤷♂️
@@gingergimp1 Oooooh, he shoots - he scores! 😂

What was the outcome of the eye issue at the TT??
oooh cannot wait to see you and these bikes at the classic.
Uv taught me alot today cheers
Love that little track. Did a few track days there a few years back.
Big Col and The Nose God back together again. Shame the 45 sounded so harsh and then stopped, love the sound of a nicely built gear driven honda
Great onboard footage, great to see the camera on the bike
Good vlog Lee, pity about the 45 but shit happens. Love the classics
Awesome bud cheers 👍🏻
Yamaha sounds beautiful. Can't wait to hear it comes August.
sack of piss with the title 🤣 well played. great vid
Come on Neil...you mechanized it for a quarter lap!?
Mad that Guy took the lime light!?
Yams sounded the bollocks, enjoyed it!
Love the videos Lee
Chatted to big Col at the Manx GP last week, what an absolute character and top bloke. he said you need to get your finger out as JM had done a 120 mph lap on it in a parade and its good for a 129 lap just needs a rider LOL
Enjoyed that ✊
Did a trackday at Blyton last year, it's a great little track!
That thing starts singing at 12k ❤️ what a beauty. Great video
Yes it does
Awesome 👍👍
Would love to have seen Guy on the MV .. have a listen 🎶
you forgot to tighten a valve - LJ 2022 haha
Just an update.. Lee won the Classic Senior Race... Legend... Even got a photo with him. 👍Top bloke.
Motorcycle 🏍 mechanics are GODS 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hi lee , what model and year is the Yamaha?
I’ve searched and can’t find anything like it!
THE perfect bike to sit in the living room and stare at non stop.... while talk'n to the wife. 😂😁
"while talking to the wife"....Sometimes both wondering what f**k is he/she talking about. You made me laugh mate..👍😂
Dream bikes!
I loved Blyton, but so bumpy especially the long lefthander at the top. Shook my teeth out!
WHat !!! I thought you were having a BSB conflict. I am coming to the ManxPG all the way from Oregon and I will definitely look forward to seeing you there. Yippee !
It’s that unlucky race number, feckin 13 , unlucky for some lol 😝
Great bikes that yam is so pretty
What's the engine in the 500 yam ? For a minute I was all excited after listening to the two strokes in the background it was going to be a TZ500 !
I was also expecting him to be aboard a TZ500...
Not sure but I'd guess it's a XS500 parallel twin 4 stroke engine.
Me too! Most disappointed to see it was a twin 4 banger 😔. Beautiful looking bike, mind.
@@markfoster2033 Reckon you're right. Can't think of another Yam 500cc air-cooled 4 stroke. If it is then it must be seriously tuned cos the 500 road bike was an overweight under-powered pig 😂
First word in the title should've been Breaking** haha awesome bike nonetheless!

Book a track day that has instructors.
Book a track day with James whittham 👍🏻
Look for the bits that don't go straight ahead.
Mr John Chapman 😍
You lucky sausage 👊🏻✊🏻👍🏻
Nice bike
That Yammy is just Beautiful
Lovely bike to drive
UA-cam suggested this one 😉
Is that the ex-Rumi machine ?
Guy Martin stole the show lol
You tube gremlins strike again. 😂. Great looking and sounding bikes. 👍
That is some bike you should be so so proud to even look at it let alone ride it ????
I didn't think you were in to click bait Lee.
Interesting as usual 🏴🤓
that bike blew up after 3 turns!! looks like it happened right as he brushed up against 13x RPM
nlce video Lee. Guy could have said hello.
The rc 45 sounded very much like my mates gsxr 1000 did when it dropped a valve at Oulton,, wrecked his engine! 😕
👍👍
Talk about false advertising 😂
joey dunlop comes to mind when u here the old 2/
I was fooled. No Guy but I still enjoyed the video. :)
To say it looks as if it's based on a shitheap XS500, that Yam sounds sweet.
Lee, lad! What was that horrendous click bait?! Come on now.
I would love a day out with you lot, are you doing the Manx Lee
I need a motor for my 96 gsxr 750 srad can you help me find one
Cmon the General. Our Fermanagh Lee. #13
Can almost smell t he 2stroke
Neil needs a youtube channel imagine the content .........
I like Lee but there was more info about his missed breakfast than there was about the bikes😴
Am I blind? I didnt see Guy in that video anywhere haha
Need a 2 stroke bike :) more fun 😂

Go and get a job if you're skint and catch your self on ya balloon 🎈
What went wrong with rc45?
Price or prize .lol
Mr Martin was in disguise ?
11.52 only if his lunch was under the seat !!!!
It was rattling first start wasn't it...
“Camera on the rev limiter” rev limiter fucked🤣
Have you resolved your eye issue Lee?
Phukn clickbait! 😂😂🙄🔧

@@2639263926392639 Can't beat a good anoraking session. 😁
Looked like a TX engine, which were garbage at the time. The owner must be a genius to make them work.
OK, did I miss something here, where was guy Martin???
Wheelies? ...come and play with the big boys at elvington ..,. August 21-22 world records if you wanna talk about wheelies ,,posting for a friend .....with a mullet 🤣
So already testing for TT next year??????? Wow. Aint that too early??? And where else are you racing at the moment?? Where can we see you???
