Well that,s fine then. All I was pointing out to the poster was that the TV commentator said "82", and I still think he did. I don't personally know how old it is, but I think it's all rather rather wonderful to see...
Brilliant riding by Troy Corser - love watching that old beemer bucking and weaving all over the place. Why didnt bmw put the gear leaver on the left hand side ?? Would make more sense.
Gregory Parrott - Clearly, it wasn't the bike...it was the rider who was kicking butt! So cool to see an awesome old machine like this being wrung out by a skilled rider.
@@deaterk Well, the bike can't be that slow, otherwise he couldn't have that much speed on the straights but i agree, this shiftting mechanisme must really require some skill XD.
Mandernach Luca - Non... That IS a 'fast as balls' old bike. No argument there mon frere. But our intrepid rider has more than ' a little skill'. That should be obvious to any viewer.
Cool to see the beemer raced. Rigid rear, hardly any front suspension, handshifter and sometimes gripping brakes and still fly past manx nortons and ajs racers. Gotta love it and the big balls of Corser ofcourse.
Rene van der Kraats I used to own an 86 VFR750... I was second owner, first owner had tricked it out for racing then added signals, etc. back to it to use as his road bike after he crashed it and damaged the frame in a way they wouldn’t let it on the track (a dent in the frame that didn’t bend the frame). I had it up to 140 once..... made the conscious decision to never go over 100 again..... I can safely say he corners faster than I did on that bike 99.99% of the time..... was about to get a new bike when COVID19 interrupted my cash flow.....
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ VFR's are splendid bikes. They're so versatile, you can do anything confidently with them. Love that V-4 drone also :) I sold my '99 Aprilia RSV1000 which I owned from new for 20 years (Rotax engineered V-2, solid bike!), I've turned the pace down a bit since then, and ride a R-Nine-T now.
He is merely overpowering them in the straight aways because his bike has more horsepower. He is cornering slowly and not really doing anything special other than having more horsepower.
In the German wiki ("BMW 500 Kompressor"), in the text it's rated at 60 hp, but in the scheme on the right it's rated at 108. Clearly a typo that should be fixed.
The highlight of the Goodwood Revival. This classic motorcycle racing has the most exciting racing there. They should branch out and make a prewar class, up to 1955 and up to 1965 race.
Peter Griffin if they made a pre war only class, many racing bikes of that era would make the effort to be there. You would be surprised how many Velocette KTTs, Norton Internationals, Moto Guzzis and BMWs are out on the classic racing circuit. Imagine seeing an entire race of girder forked machines like the BMW Troy Corser won on.
Which rock do you people hide under not to not actually have any footage from the Historic Winton event at Benalla, and yet still try to persuade yourselves you know motorcycling???
That's was truely awesome, that definitely took skill and balls to be operating that thing at those speeds. I liked when the announcer said not to fight the bike. That was just beautiful to watch
I always been somewhat of a corser fan but this is corser raw! I guess when your the real deal it doesn't matter what is under you, you work with what you got and push to the front!
wwwhhhaatattttt that's why i love those bikes .. why all the people i know keeps telling me "now i've got a 190 rear tire or i will use the builder prescription to put on my bike a 180 rear tirte..." whaat??? real riders do not need such a large tires ... ahahahahahahah absolutely loved it ..
I said that because many guys i know wants to swap 160mm for 180mm rear tire on CBR 600 with 90cv or 150mm for 170mm rear tire on Harley 1600 with 75cv ,, or 189mm for 190mm rear tire in Ducati with about 100cv ... that's not the point of having 10mm or 20mm more on you the rear tire.. but when you will be able to put on stress your standard rear tire without changing it .. it will means that you've reached the limit of your bike .. and i doubt any of them will be capable of it .. including myself .. :-)
1990, you are dead right : it's useable power that counts. Torque is much more important : when you snap the throttle open and there's nothing there because you're 5k from where the power is.
Bloody brilliant. What a sound. The engine in my gs1150 is basically the same motor, mmm i wonder if anyone has supercharged a modern beemer motor, must be possible now if they did it 80 years ago. Troy corser, legend.
Extremely stiff or non-existent suspension will lessen your grip since the tyre keeps bouncing and has trouble staying on the road since it cannot travel down to grip normally, even more so if the road is not decently even at all points. Plus, this makes it so that your grip levels keep spiking thus if you push too hard you'll lose control unexpectedly.
I don't know what it is about the drone of those old engines but this excites me more than watching modern motorcycle racing (with the possible exception of Isle of mann tt)
I believe NASCAR should take notice and do the same thing get back to car that you could beat and bang on all day and go to your local dealership and buy on Monday.
Troys an Aussie legend. Can ride the arse out of anything and this race shows that in spades. What a ride, you don’t win two world Superbike titles being a goose.
TC hanging off the thing just like the Germans did back in '36! What's the Big Deal.....Alligator!! He doesn't come from the Swamps down in Mississippi, he's an Aussie. It's a CROCODILE! As usual, just another Aussie showing the Poms how to Ride a Motorcycle. Been going on for Decades....Yes, it might've had more power, but look at the Piece Of Shit bucking and weaving under him. The other riders weren't going That Hard. Well done Troy.
A supercharged bike shouldn't be racing naturally aspirated machines, but this clip is a hoot anyway. Those tiny drum brakes and skinny tires on all of those bikes--must have been a thrill to ride.
Holy Shit, Corser and bike are both awesome. To blow away manx nortons like that, Love it. In fact I,d rather watch racing like this race than Moto GP!
What do you mean, no suspension except the air in his tires? Seen that front suspension with leaf springs? In 1936, BMWs had telescopic front forks and foot gear change.
Sometimes people find a machine they just gel with. Other people may bag it, they cant handle it, but I'm.sure everybody has at least one hooptie they can really get to grips with. Troy corser on that bmw is proof of this. Great bike in it's time, poor bike now, great rider in his day and still a great. Hats off
I could watch him racing this bike all day, what a treat.
I agree my friend.
I have never enjoyed a video as much as this. I've watched it over and over. A right side tank shift and hard tail! Wow
Well, I'm not a mathematician, but if it was built in 1936 it is not 89 years old...
He said 82. not 89.
hhoward14 Scroll up and read the title of the video. I'll wait.
Well that,s fine then. All I was pointing out to the poster was that the TV commentator said "82", and I still think he did. I don't personally know how old it is, but I think it's all rather rather wonderful to see...

That way you’d have to take your hand off the throttle
What happens when Troy goes full send! He needs to gets to gather with Ronnie Mac! That would he hilarious!
GREAT RIDER....
Over 80 years old and still performs better than a Harley lol
Nearly everything performs better than a Harley.
1:46 Going in hot!
It's like the cr500 of it's day, let's make something so fast they will want something slower for a while
he beat a bunch of amateur blokes as a world class rider should.
90 year old hard tail with right hand shift kicking butt??
Nucking futts!
Gregory Parrott - Clearly, it wasn't the bike...it was the rider who was kicking butt! So cool to see an awesome old machine like this being wrung out by a skilled rider.

That’s the beauty of goodwood. They do actually race the kit!! Like......proper race the stuff!!!! It’s bleddy fantastic!!!
Cool to see the beemer raced. Rigid rear, hardly any front suspension, handshifter and sometimes gripping brakes and still fly past manx nortons and ajs racers. Gotta love it and the big balls of Corser ofcourse.
I feel so humbled since I'm probably cornering slower than him on my modern sportsbike.

Fark...I Know I am !
Troy has always been a real blood and guts racer, with immense talent.
Unbelievable!! Reach over shift and no rear suspension for god sake!!
no front suspension !!!!!
Real pilot
He is merely overpowering them in the straight aways because his bike has more horsepower. He is cornering slowly and not really doing anything special other than having more horsepower.
250 km/h, with suicide shifter on the opposite side, no rear suspensions and virtually no brake at all....this is a genuine flying coffin...no match
Where did you get these numbers? This motorcycle is supposed to produce between 55 and 60 hp and its top speed is 220km/h.
In the German wiki ("BMW 500 Kompressor"), in the text it's rated at 60 hp, but in the scheme on the right it's rated at 108. Clearly a typo that should be fixed.
No way that bike doe's 250km/h! Try maybe 190!
*"If the cylinder heads aren't chamfered, he'll chamfer them anyway!"* That's hilarious. True! But hilarious.
Pure Corser...
Once your good your always good..
The highlight of the Goodwood Revival. This classic motorcycle racing has the most exciting racing there. They should branch out and make a prewar class, up to 1955 and up to 1965 race.
I don't know wether they could fill a pre war class. Not many bikes of that time are still in driving condition.

Which rock do you people hide under not to not actually have any footage from the Historic Winton event at Benalla, and yet still try to persuade yourselves you know motorcycling???
If you ride bicycles a lot you learn all about that kind of suspension. Friggin great riding.
Yeah I agree with this one. I loved hooning the shit out of my beach cruiser.
That's was truely awesome, that definitely took skill and balls to be operating that thing at those speeds. I liked when the announcer said not to fight the bike. That was just beautiful to watch

They do when they are pumping out 200+ bhp. This thing has less than 40.
But only if they are using that amount of bhp, which hardly any of them do. Certainly not on the road.
I said that because many guys i know wants to swap 160mm for 180mm rear tire on CBR 600 with 90cv or 150mm for 170mm rear tire on Harley 1600 with 75cv ,, or 189mm for 190mm rear tire in Ducati with about 100cv ... that's not the point of having 10mm or 20mm more on you the rear tire.. but when you will be able to put on stress your standard rear tire without changing it .. it will means that you've reached the limit of your bike .. and i doubt any of them will be capable of it .. including myself .. :-)

Hehe. Anyone for electric?
This reminds of the time I saw a world class drummer on a toy kit from walmart. When you are a master of your craft, you make any tools exceptional.
Man that guy can ride ! there were more than a few little rear-wheel-drifts going-on there . Dave nz

There are no fast chariots, just fast horses.
Zero suspension seemed more responsive and certain that you know what the bike is doing
Extremely stiff or non-existent suspension will lessen your grip since the tyre keeps bouncing and has trouble staying on the road since it cannot travel down to grip normally, even more so if the road is not decently even at all points. Plus, this makes it so that your grip levels keep spiking thus if you push too hard you'll lose control unexpectedly.
Professionally Hunted true but if you know you can use to your advantage. The proof on a race circuit is in the pudding
Wow amazing nothing pops out or breaks into pieces from those vintage exhibits at those speed!!
I don't know what it is about the drone of those old engines but this excites me more than watching modern motorcycle racing (with the possible exception of Isle of mann tt)
I believe NASCAR should take notice and do the same thing get back to car that you could beat and bang on all day and go to your local dealership and buy on Monday.
Yeah Nascar should use production cars again. Not those shitty bodies with stickers on cages.
Hudson Hornet..?? 😂😂
The field was just fine, not destroyed at all as far as I can see.
A great tribute to Barry. He was a wonderful guy. I had him as a client during his truck racing days with Sherwood Daf.

More evidence that riding prowess is king.
Troy Corsers BMW bike is from 1929. The BMW from 1936 had been much more advanced. Troy is an exeptional talent with an Aussi humor i admire most.

That's our troy, goin hard n keepin it shiny side up
89 + 5 now

Old-timer BMW bike: "I'm going to show these whippersnappers how it's done!"
Unbelievable riding! - that bike was like a bucking bronco but what power. Corser - best rider I've seen since Hailwood!
A supercharged bike shouldn't be racing naturally aspirated machines, but this clip is a hoot anyway. Those tiny drum brakes and skinny tires on all of those bikes--must have been a thrill to ride.
It just needed one of the riders to be smoking a pipe and that would have been proper well hard.
Mid 80's? Wrong decade man...
Hard tail with a suicide shifter and here he is riding it like it's a fucking MotoGP bike... You do you Troy, you do you!
The bike was never thought for the cornering speeds that todays rubber mixtures make possible. Thats why the whole bike wobbles.
The spectators ruin the whole race by talking 🤦♂️😡
It can't be 1936 because from '35 on they had telescopic forks.
No matter what Bike..a legend is always a legend!! SuperCorser
It really takes courage to ride such vehicles...I guess the tires were nowadays slick or i'm wrong?
Does this bike have traction control and cornering ABS😂😂
Oh Troy, you and the gang are sorely missed.
Che manico!
Has any got busted , trying to facilitate super charging with the Hair dryer ???
It won't be many more years before this BMW becomes an antique!
Putting a nice bevel on those cylinder heads
This is why I never trust the magazines that say you have to have the latest Bike to win races. lol
Troy Corser with the most incredible ride! Wowee!
Amazing, just so exciting to watch!
Id love to have any old bike running that good
Awesome riding! Steve
schade um die bmw, dieser heini hat scheinbar null gefühl für dieses motorrad.
soll sich lieber an den plastekarren vergehen...
Amazing! Thank you for sharing
It's not what you ride 👍
That is some smooth riding.
Bugger me dead, what a thrilling race.
Simply outstanding
Big balls - that bike is all over the place
He's a beast💪✌
You’ve either got it or you don’t got it.
Missed a gear lol what a rookie. 😂
Bmw is built different
solo uno poco di chattering....
Alligator Crocodile
Crocodile not Aligator!
newer is not allways better.
Holy Shit, Corser and bike are both awesome. To blow away manx nortons like that, Love it. In fact I,d rather watch racing like this race than Moto GP!
Fuckin' A
Dat little brakes .........
Built in 1936 + 89 Years = 2025. Were in 2018 now. 😯
It was NOT built in 1936, but in 1929! In 1936 BMWs had telescopic fronts, rear suspension and foot fear change!.
Change the title. It's wrong. It's: "82", not "89".
No, change the details, it's a1929 R57 Kompressor, not a 1936 R5SS !
What do you mean, no suspension except the air in his tires? Seen that front suspension with leaf springs? In 1936, BMWs had telescopic front forks and foot gear change.
Изумительно!
Fucking heroic!!

Wtf no suspension 😁
Ya boy can ride.
Wow. A Rider on a 89 year old Bike, wins against drivers on 79 years old Bikes 😂 really great Performance
R5SS Tiger Tank
Wonder what the displacement difference is. No windscreen and passing people on straights insights there's a significant power difference.
This is a weapon type 225 140mph and 1 sold in 2013 for 480 K but good old Troy boy can still ride.
That 'alligator' on the side of Troys helmet considering he is an aussie, is more likely to be a crocodile. No alligators in Oz.
👍🏻. Bad ass.
Pretty cool for a 128 year old motor bike ::::: and i mean im Giggling::::::
show more please
