The fastest accelerating bike in the game is the electric lighting ls 218. Edit it has more torque then a 2018 Toyota gt86 in a bike that weighs less then 200kg and twice the torque of the 1000cc bike you are riding
somebody did combine two GSX engines I believe, to make a V8. could've been a CBR engine too, im not sure. should be on google/youtube somewhere if you're interested
@@JDarrylSSS Most "motorcycle" V8s are made with Hayabusa engine parts. One-offs are certainly possible for someone with the patience. There's video evidence of someone making a V12 with two Honda CBX engines.
@Stark Raven Heh well a V12 does sound mighty ambitious. I think it was just one clever guy who did the V8 with a lot of time, tools and money yeah. I can't remember where he put it in but it was gone quickly from the starting line haha. Caterham works with these bike engines too but I don't think they've ever slapped two together.
@@sergesieniejo1 Right before dying. My motorbike got approx 120bhp for 185kg. I can't even exploit it to it's maximum potential (I'm not a professional rider anyway). Only a fraction of the people that buy those superbikes can really drive them.
Leaning your head is a really good way to get really disoriented and smack into a road sign. Any sport rider worth their weight in oil keeps their head level relative to the road surface
Called tank slappers and there have been many just like that if not worse in racing haha. Honestly those guys are a different breed. Look them up it’s mental
That's abnormal and only for racing superbikes. Road superbikes and racing supersports generally end at 150, road supersports at 120-130, and almost anything else around or under 100. Also, road bikes almost always have 300km/h speed limiters if they can go that fast, which don't exist in Ride 3 because... well, video game, death and dismemberment is merely an inconvience Also, the slow cornering is more than made up for by the fun factor of lean :)
Bikes needs the using of all your body to help the riding, and a lots of diferent tricks. It is só weird to see a bike sim... Feels like It fails só much on emulating a bike Ride...
the best feeling bike sim i ever played was Tourist Trophy on ps2, made by the same studio that makes the gran turismo games, it felt very realistic on a physics level, unless you were riding really slow, like 20kph and below, but at speed you could really feel the bike react to your inputs, and how different bikes just felt heavier or lighter, y'know chucking it into a corner, over/understeer. i think the best example i can give here is taking both a tzr250 , 2 stroke, light machine and a hayasbusa 1300, 4 stroke power monster, heavy powerful beast, how different they felt off throttle coasting into a corner slightly on the brakes. that game made as lasting impression on me and i'm so sad it never got a follow up game.
@@HowlerBikeVlogs yes was definitely the best , got good enough to play with the expert controls using the front an rear breaks separately another button to go full tuck , shifting . I wanted a real bike so bad I played the shit out of that game. Finally got one years later thats my gsxr 750 . They did a really good job on that game wished they would do it again. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that it made an impression on. Think it was too hard for most people maybe thats why they haven't mad a follow up . The best bike game ever.
@@sladeb6036 oh yeah expert mode all the way, i was so obsessed with that game i could let the rear end slide into a corner, and drift it out like casey stoner haha. My first bike was a cbr600, i still have that bike, it's been 8 years now
I drove the BMW S1000RR with also 200hp IRL around Hockenheimring, was crazy fun and other 1000cc bikes looked more like 600cc when flying pass them :-D. I miss my bike time a bit...
I just wish there was a dedicated controler suited for motorcycle games, with a handlebar fitted with clutch, brakes and the pedals. Sim racing with cars has all sort of wheels for every level of user, for motorcycles all of the ones I've seen were pretty much homebrew.
I have a Trustmaster Freestyler and.... it sounds great to be able to have handlebars in your hands, but it doesn't come close. It's either "steer mode" or "lean mode", neither of them represent true bike control. Clutch lever is a switch, and the lack of a rear brake pedal is annoying (you could use the steering wheel pedal ofcourse). So yeah, it was a commercial product but not a very good one :p
Like an arcade cabinet? (except with more features ofc) Cars got it easy since it's just a wheel and pedals, but you control a bike with your whole body
An arcade cabinet would be ideal, but perhaps only for the hardest of cores; gamepad is fine. Real bikes are better anyhow, despite all tha hazards and consequences of real life. Of course, that's why some people refuse to even touch bikes, hence why Ride 3 should be a big help in getting newcomers interested.
a steering wheel locked at 110 degrees can give you a good 1:1 steering. I would love to see you lap the TT on GP Bikes, still the king at bike sims. Keep up the good work !!
The ride 2 was so rewarding when you got it down. Playing with a bike without a tcs, pulling crazy lines trough corners and always finding people on online that were faster with even crazier lines... i had real blast with it. I hope the ride 3 does it's name justice.
Try practicing at Assen. It was literally build for motorcycles. If you need help with bikes on the Nordschleife, go watch some Murtanio videos. I myself am of the two wheeled persuasion, and have a collection of Ducatis that I shred on (much to the horror of the average plebeian Ducatista) and it's always nice to see sim racer guys giving a bike game a go. Cheers.
Normally watching your videos I think “what the lines, what he’s doing with his feet etc” and you’ll learn some things. So refreshing to watch a video where I think you could do with watching one of me 😆
okay so since i have this game and have played a lot of motogp games back in the day but it's been over 6 months, i figured i'd take this laptime and see if i could beat it, first lap round the ring, no tcs, no wheelie control, other aids set like yours, i managed a 6:25. seems like i still got some skills in me, such a fun series of games this and motogp.
I know this comment might me late, but when you experienced that 200mph tank slapper braking for the last section of turns I nearly shut my pants. I’ve had a few tank slippers at lesser speeds (but in real life) and watching you briefly wrestle with that it brought back all sorts of bad memories.
Finally, a game I'm actually faster than good ol' Jimmer in! I'll go back in my hole now. Good lap though! I always find that with Ride 3, I'm consistently faster the less I focus on being fast.
3:45 Jimmy, mate... I can confirm that riding a 200+ hp motorcycle not only makes you cry and shit yourself at the same time, it makes the tears come out of your ass
Riding a bike on a track is very different from driving a car on one. The turn in points are much earlier if you're trying to maintain corner speed. It's about getting the bike down into the pocket of the corner and holding it there and using the bikes power to pull you up and out. If you get it wrong going in you're screwed. Also the unintuative part of steering a bike which games never get the feel right for is counter steering. You naturally do it when you ride in real life. Pull the bars left to lean right etc. Its very natural and makes hitting lines really easy if you're entry speed is about right. In most games it feels like you're steering a car with delayed response.
Having done a dozen or so laps of nurburgring on my bike and running at best 7.51 I can honestly say the detail on this game and sense of speed is actually really good
The interesting thing about riding a bike is to turn left you turn the bars to the right so you push with in the way you wanna go. and you can steer with just your legs honestly
For a person who doesn't know what his doing . He done pretty awesome in ride 3 despite me being terribble grinding that game for several hours to get good. Impressive indeed. Us motorcyclists respect you Jimmy Broadbent.
Game looks fun. Most enjoyable bike I ever had was my 1999 Yamaha R1. 150Hp for 176 kg no electronic gimmicks like traction control, ABS or anti wheelie software. Just pure unadulterated fun.
Has busted wrist, will ride ZX-10R Ninja around the Nordschleife. For a motorcycle pleb you have a nice selection of bikes there mate, not on but two MV Augusta F3 675's, and an RGV 250.
That was brilliant! Fair play for using helmet cam. Im getting MotoGP 18 and helmet cam looks great on that, no Nurburg tho I think?... :'( Well played tho mate, looked hard.
Considering how many options are out there are for sim racing wheels, from budget set ups to super expensive hardcore rigs, I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be ANY options for sim bike racing set ups! I can remember back in the PS2 days I actually had a desk-mounted handlebars peripheral. I mean, it wasn't exactly great, and it felt pretty cheap, but it still felt a bit more immersive than using a control pad! I guess the bike racing genre is just a bit too niche to support having its own peripheral market? One of my earliest (and best) memories of gaming was riding on the Manx TT arcade machines back in the day. You sat on a full sized plastic motorbike that leaned, and it had twist grip throttle and brake levers and everyting. It was awesome! Imagine if Fanatec or Thrustmaster made something like that for home users? (it would probably cost over £5,000, but still....I've seen people spend over 10 grand on their car sim set ups lol!)
Note that higher-end racing bikes have TCS permanently off regardless of what you set the TCS to (at least up to the R4 class supersports, I haven't had a chance to use R3 750cc-4/1000cc-Twin superbikes or the R2 and R1 liter superbikes yet). If you want more practice, the free Honda CBR600F4i is a fantastic tool to get better acquainted with any track really, or if that's still too fast, the 250cc two-stroke R7-class bikes are basically idiot-proof in the dry so long as you keep it in the powerband. Unlike most games the racing line display is genuinely quite helpful, at least for braking points. You will definitely want to come back and re-do this time once you've become more acquainted with R1 bikes, you were kinda crap xD Glad you're taking the dive and introducing yourself to the wonderful world of motorcycles, we hope you enjoy your stay :D PS: that was a lot more than 200hp you had between your virtual legs there PSS: Laguna Seca is amazing fun. The fastest way through the corkscrew is early turn-in right and power on doing a wheelie. Yes Edit: I've had a chance to use the R2 class Honda EWC bike. 3rd person with ABS and linked brakes, 6:18:w/e. The bike is faster in some places thanks to being able to go virtually straight where cars have to weave, as well as having ridiculous power/weight and power/drag ratios which allow it to get up to silly speeds as fast as dedicated race cars. R2 bikes are endurance racers, they're similar to racing superbikes (R1 and R3 classes), but are modestly understressed for long-distance racing all the way up to 24 hour races: 24h Motos at Le Mans Bugatti, and the Bol d'Or at Paul Ricard. Also helping for long duration is less extreme ergonomics and of course front and rear lights. Many might think "motorcycle endurance racing" is an oxymoron, but for some (COUGH Français), it's the only way to race. You could say that they're the most extreme touring riders in the world! xD
It doesn't seem that anyone on the internet knows exactly how much powah WSBKs lay down, but Jonathan Rea w/ ZX-10R-SBK laid down a lap time competitive with grand prix bikes at the 2016 Jerez joint test, and MotoGP bikes tend to make around 250-260hp. given FIM's bone-headedness about WSBK having to be second fiddle, I'd say 240 is probably accurate. The H2R would still be the most powerful bike in Ride 3 in that case, though when it drops at some point (some think late may). Anyone up for thicc brit rides blowing Japanese?
As far as i know the motorcycle record time is 7min 50sec by Hellmut Dähne from 1993. That means you did the track in about 85% of the time of Mr Dähne. Impressive - I dont know what to say about Mr Dähne. That is insane.
Growing up and racing bikes most of my life, I am still yet to get in a car that feels anything close to the 1000s I rode! I mainly raced 600s through my teenage years! You defo need to pop to brands and watch a round of British Superbikes, some of the best racing you'll see! Would love to introduce you to some of the riders!!
I ride a 125cc scrambler (speed limit in my city is 30-40mph anyway lol) and that's fast enough, I live in England so good luck dealing with a literal army of speed bumps and potholes on a superbike. You're lower down so speed actually feels way faster than it would in a general purpose car. My heart still belongs to rallying though.
If you have a copy lying around you should try this with the same bike in Tourist Trophy. Not the official Isle of Man video game, but Tourist Trophy made by Polyphony Digital. It's literally just Gran Turismo 4 with bikes. One of my favorite games of all time.
Bike stuff is good. It's interesting to watch a car guy do it and makes a nice contrast to your other videos. Maybe experiment with a small cc bike race rather than just a time trial? Could be cool and a nice break from long enduro races (which are still cool and you should still do them obviously)
No games will come close to IRL sensations of bike ride because you don't have your "butt sensor" ^^ (all to say that a bike is controlled more by the body than any kind of controller) Still Ride 3 looks amazing and the speed effect is on point (Daily rider here)
I won't argue body position being important but it definitely doesn't steer a bike in any way. For anyone who wants a great video on this check out counter steering Keith code video.
I agree the ride series is much harder than reality! They need to make a controller like a steering wheel for bikes! (Also Daily rider Daytona 675, had a 959 Panigale as a weekender)
What a strange camera/view setting... I probably wouldn't be able to play like that, feels weird having the bike tilt so much but the view stays almost level. And then bike on the grass and no crash? Now I see what you mean about R3 being approachable, in TT you'd die even thinking about that. 200mph on the straight, what madness. And people actually do this for real?!
I'm still waiting for the Stadium Super Truck around the Nordschleife
I know! he needs to do it at some point the 3 wheeling beast of a truck!
Jumpbase your wish has been granted

As a bike racing enthusiast that's played too much of the ride series I'm impressed you managed to use the helmet cam 😂 always makes me feel sick
The headcam´s are the only cam´s in can use in Bike games,every other camera perspective and i cant hit corner for shit...^^
@@TheGermanSimracer I find it easier to hit corners in 3rd person, I'm a sport rider in real life and 1st person is just disorienting for the brain
@@hvymtal8566 I also find 3rd is the best for controlling slides out the corner, 1st just doesn't give me the feeling that I'm in control

Teesside Josh agree. I use the other dash view. Helmet view seems like it always too much
We just need to ducttape two ZX-10R's together! Bam! Four wheels!
No. Flex tape
At that point you should just put the engine in a quad. It'll handle better, theoretically.

Riding a superbike in real life is mind blowing, it also ruins everything so called "fast" for you. Lol
I test rode a XSR 700 and it puts my ST to shame in terms of speed, even just the speed limit feels faster on a bike.

Franku Doge Being able to reach full speed is the easiest part. Being fast on the corners without crashing is the hard part.
I'm a bike rider and that looked weird!
Do you hang off like a GP rider?
Probably because the camera doesn't lean with the bike

When you got that tank slapped on the back straight, my adrenaline started pumping.
jimmy broadening his horizons on a ZXR. nice ride dude
Well when you talk superbikes, there really is only one place you can start: Ninja
@2:44 That's why those pros use trail-braking, increase the leaning angle and get off the throttle if the corner gets tighter.

You sat on a full sized plastic motorbike that leaned, and it had twist grip throttle and brake levers and everyting. It was awesome! Imagine if Fanatec or Thrustmaster made something like that for home users? (it would probably cost over £5,000, but still....I've seen people spend over 10 grand on their car sim set ups lol!)
“JIMMY GET OFF THE GRASS!!!”
Note that higher-end racing bikes have TCS permanently off regardless of what you set the TCS to (at least up to the R4 class supersports, I haven't had a chance to use R3 750cc-4/1000cc-Twin superbikes or the R2 and R1 liter superbikes yet). If you want more practice, the free Honda CBR600F4i is a fantastic tool to get better acquainted with any track really, or if that's still too fast, the 250cc two-stroke R7-class bikes are basically idiot-proof in the dry so long as you keep it in the powerband. Unlike most games the racing line display is genuinely quite helpful, at least for braking points. You will definitely want to come back and re-do this time once you've become more acquainted with R1 bikes, you were kinda crap xD
Glad you're taking the dive and introducing yourself to the wonderful world of motorcycles, we hope you enjoy your stay :D
PS: that was a lot more than 200hp you had between your virtual legs there
PSS: Laguna Seca is amazing fun. The fastest way through the corkscrew is early turn-in right and power on doing a wheelie. Yes
Edit: I've had a chance to use the R2 class Honda EWC bike. 3rd person with ABS and linked brakes, 6:18:w/e. The bike is faster in some places thanks to being able to go virtually straight where cars have to weave, as well as having ridiculous power/weight and power/drag ratios which allow it to get up to silly speeds as fast as dedicated race cars.
R2 bikes are endurance racers, they're similar to racing superbikes (R1 and R3 classes), but are modestly understressed for long-distance racing all the way up to 24 hour races: 24h Motos at Le Mans Bugatti, and the Bol d'Or at Paul Ricard. Also helping for long duration is less extreme ergonomics and of course front and rear lights. Many might think "motorcycle endurance racing" is an oxymoron, but for some (COUGH Français), it's the only way to race. You could say that they're the most extreme touring riders in the world! xD
I think some of the TT superbikes are close to 240 bhp. could be wrong
It doesn't seem that anyone on the internet knows exactly how much powah WSBKs lay down, but Jonathan Rea w/ ZX-10R-SBK laid down a lap time competitive with grand prix bikes at the 2016 Jerez joint test, and MotoGP bikes tend to make around 250-260hp. given FIM's bone-headedness about WSBK having to be second fiddle, I'd say 240 is probably accurate.
The H2R would still be the most powerful bike in Ride 3 in that case, though when it drops at some point (some think late may). Anyone up for thicc brit rides blowing Japanese?
Very good for a non biker . Ive been round once on ride 3 on a R1200GS . My time 8.03 lol
A GS is not exactly the weapon of choice for hop lapping lol
It's bloody good fun though lol
I prefer the CBR954. Something about that styling….
...
...
Oh wait, I almost forgot something!
lol
having played this game im pretty confident i could lap it quicker in real life than i could in this game
Oh how I miss my 92 GSXR 1100 it sounded like a v10 F1 car.
what hapenned
@@exoiwnl 2002 cbr 600 f4i, 2003 40th anniversay hayabusa, 2006 kawasaki mean streak 1600cc, 2007 kawasaki vulcan 2000cc
see where im going here?
as someone that has owned a zx10r and a gixer 1000 those apexes hurt my soul
As far as i know the motorcycle record time is 7min 50sec by Hellmut Dähne from 1993.
That means you did the track in about 85% of the time of Mr Dähne. Impressive - I dont know what to say about Mr Dähne. That is insane.
Hey Jimmer,
I'm just having my "Feierabend bier". Keep up with your great vids and your streams!
Cheers,
your yeeeeeteboi
It’s not realistic that you can drive on Gras without loosing the bike.
Or touch the brakes
Growing up and racing bikes most of my life, I am still yet to get in a car that feels anything close to the 1000s I rode! I mainly raced 600s through my teenage years!
You defo need to pop to brands and watch a round of British Superbikes, some of the best racing you'll see! Would love to introduce you to some of the riders!!
I ride a 125cc scrambler (speed limit in my city is 30-40mph anyway lol) and that's fast enough, I live in England so good luck dealing with a literal army of speed bumps and potholes on a superbike. You're lower down so speed actually feels way faster than it would in a general purpose car. My heart still belongs to rallying though.
If you have a copy lying around you should try this with the same bike in Tourist Trophy. Not the official Isle of Man video game, but Tourist Trophy made by Polyphony Digital. It's literally just Gran Turismo 4 with bikes. One of my favorite games of all time.
Jimmy i just realized i broke ur f2004 nordschleife record, it almost felt to me like that time you passed Max in iRacing lol😂😂
I will try this tomorrow! I have this ps4 and it is one of best racing game on console i have playd.
Bike stuff is good. It's interesting to watch a car guy do it and makes a nice contrast to your other videos. Maybe experiment with a small cc bike race rather than just a time trial? Could be cool and a nice break from long enduro races (which are still cool and you should still do them obviously)
That shirt.
i didnt know he likes Final Fantasy. now im positively suprised.
This was insane...
And the award for the longest first gear goes to....that!
No games will come close to IRL sensations of bike ride because you don't have your "butt sensor" ^^
(all to say that a bike is controlled more by the body than any kind of controller)
Still Ride 3 looks amazing and the speed effect is on point
(Daily rider here)
Claudy_Focan tu sors ou je te sors
I won't argue body position being important but it definitely doesn't steer a bike in any way. For anyone who wants a great video on this check out counter steering Keith code video.
@@1xRacer Indeed. You can tip a bike in to a turn with a push on the bar with one finger much quicker than you could by shifting body weight alone.
Just like pr0n...
I agree the ride series is much harder than reality! They need to make a controller like a steering wheel for bikes!
(Also Daily rider Daytona 675, had a 959 Panigale as a weekender)
seems like 1.5 years later he still only knows the name of turn 1
3:50 the sad truth is you get kind of used to it and start taking risks you shouldn't take.
I play games like this with a flight stick
Works like a charm
@1:04 The record is set slightly over 7 minutes.
As a Supersport rider i can say that flying with around 130-150 km/h trough a corner is indeed very scary and its very easy to shit yourself.
That was scary, even for a game..
Psst Jimmy drive a bike with your steering wheel, around Nord
"I'd probably be crying and shitting myself at the same time" - sounds like me when I lost my virginity
Hey guys Crotch Rockety boi here
How fast can a walking human being lap the nordschleife
N O T D E D ! I imagine your leathers would need to go in the bin though. Good work Jommel.
U need to do that same lap on tourist trophy ps2 bike sim .
Tourist trophy has the most realistic physics even better than today's bike sims
What a strange camera/view setting... I probably wouldn't be able to play like that, feels weird having the bike tilt so much but the view stays almost level. And then bike on the grass and no crash? Now I see what you mean about R3 being approachable, in TT you'd die even thinking about that.
200mph on the straight, what madness. And people actually do this for real?!
