Sorry. Had to upload again as UA-cam is playing silly buggers: a few hundred views in an hour and no interaction. That said, it isn't making much of a difference with this attempt. Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh!
Double the pleasure, thanks Sue and Jason. 88 teeth today for the double bubble. In all seriousness: Sorry you guys had some issues. Keep doing what you're doing! All the best! Always thoroughly enjoy your content!
I've heard you guys talk about interaction before but I don't have a clue what that actually means. Do you guys get paid based on views, or do viewers have to click the ads for you to get cash?
Al is honestly such a talented rider... it’s a shame beer and maccy’s is priority 😏 Would love some instructional videos from 44T. Positioning on a bike, how to corner, personal tips and tricks.
I enjoy these conversations a lot, with other people it’s just “oh what did you do wrong?” Or “have you prepared?” 44 teeth asks the real questions! Like when you asked Mcguiness about his poo, I died laughing then.
I love how a professional say's yeah, no need for a $25K swingarm because you really can't tell the difference. Yet every weekend up at Mullholand or GMR you see some street Rossi with a shinny new swingarm that cost them a fortune.
SBPilot54 The people that do buy them have more money than sense. It's not like everyone can afford them in the first place so we're not talking about a lot of people.
@@timothy9596 i agree 100% I just rob other bikes of their better factory parts.🤣 I have an '06 636 but put on a '12 rear shock (low/high compression), '09 Showa BPForks, '09 R1 OEM Brembo MC (oem felt terrible at track days), '07 Nissin calipers, '11 R1 duel Yoshi carbon exhaust (looks like 06 zx10r setup) plus all the lil mods we all do to the bike (jumper mod, pair valve removal with block off plates, crank case breather mod, servo motor removal and remove redudent parts for lil weight reduction), stuff like that. I get some upgrade at fraction of the cost. I have to do the same thing with my '00 TL1000R bc there is few aftermarket options at all for that bike and tbh i do it on that bike just for fun and bring it up to date
@@mayoluckI ride an 05 636, except it's nearly entirely stock. Planning on taking it to a track day in the near future. Anything you've discovered about this particular bike that could be worth mentioning before I do it? I went from 4 years riding a fzr250 then onto the 636 after blowing the motor on the fzr. Never had better thrills in my life after jumping on the kawi.
Mayo Luck I just bought a brand new R1 but i'm still a Kawi guy at heart. Next year i think i might try track days at the local track and i know damn sure which bike i'm getting: a 636. No question about it. Love those things. A liter bike is just way way too much power and a used 2010 636 with low mileage is cheap as dirt(4k? Maybe less?)
To the guy asking what the knob was on the bike before the video was removed. That knob was Fagan 😁, sorry couldn't resist. It actually makes Lorenzo high-side when you twist it 😂. Seriously though, It is a brake adjustment screw. As the components for braking heat up during racing it causes expansion/contraction. The screw will adjust the brake lever to activate at the riders desired spot. Something like this anyway. Love the vids, keep them coming 👍.
Al's interview with the rider was amazing. It was a couple of racers talking about the tech and the challenges they deal with. Its a nice insight to the experience of racers that I've never seen before. I absolutely LOVED it. It would be great to see more of that detailed kind of discussion, whether its in your interviews or even in your bike reviews.
You know you have a good rider when he is so knowledgeable about his bike and how it operates, not just brake and throttle. He is correct, his time will come.
Id love to have an episode on rear brake use, i think every motorcyclist is a complete newb with rear brake and i for one would love to learn to use it better
Great interview Al. Looks like you were riding at a good pace, sweet bike. Any chance Chris could interview you on your racing background and biking life? 🖒
Al's on camera character & interviewing skills have improved and the channel is really developing into a more professional rather than 'just for fun' style. Well done all round, wish you guys could get a TV slot, Bike equivalent to top gear with the 'bike battles' and trips would be awesome. Good job !
"I think I've ...(?) out heavier poos than you, so it was always going to be a bit soft" LMAO GREAT Interviews. Absolutely brilliant. Often after a few minutes of I'm like "blah blah blah yeah yeah yeah, show me some riding/racing" but this time definitely not the case. The on-board lap was great too. Excellent quality, sound and image. Big thumbs up.
I never been a fan of suzuki, but I have to say that this new bike I think is very good and I respect the work that suzuki are doing, they are trying to back to the top of racing.
I'm subscribed and notified for 44T content (for years) but for some reason this is the first time I've seen this video on my feed... over a month after it was released... wtf youtube? I love the tech discussion as much as the track vid - great work guys!
You guys have the best motorcycle channel on youtube and any network for that matter you cover the whole essences for motorcycling and your very entertaining thanks for your hard work. I hope it pays off big for you guys.
Great interview and apt placement at the start of the video with the onboard in the latter half. I really listened to it ! Amazing onboard quality too!
That race bike sounds spot on! Gotta love the quick shifter and slipper clutch. I have never ran a bike with either and I think I may be missing out however fun it is to control a nice downshift rear slide coming out of a corner it is not the quickest way around,
Spent 4 hours earlier today on my L7r, Suzuki really have made quite a good bike, and its surprisingly comfortable for a sports bike, 151 miles and i didnt need to be lifted off of it by a crane, which was nice 😀
Love this video. First off, I’m a huge fan of the Suzuki GSXR. For me they are such a great bike to ride. Second, I’ve been around Silverstone three times. I’ve done about 25 other track days but Silverstone is a fantastic track. Just wish I was younger so I could still ride. 👍👍👍
Just found out by watching this video, I have that one part that this buildbase suszuki has as well, and that's the Renthal Gen3 clip-ons, how cool is that?!
BSB is at a very high level. Teams, riders and bikes are all really top notch. Just look at how Redding has struggled coming from MotoGP to just get to the front at all in 2019.
Awesome video! Yep, now I want a Suzuki. Cool that Suzuki has a factory racing under seat fuel tank kit. Big winner in my eyes if one was to want to build a race bike. I notice that every real serious race bike does this "mod" - it would be cool to hear in technical terms and from riders perspective just how much of a difference that makes in terms of ride. I know it brings the weight lower and more centred but would be cool to hear from the pros.
I'd love to see a comparison between short circuit and road racing. I know the bikes won't vary so much, but it would be interesting to see the difference in riding styles.
Hello Fagan. Excellent video. You're a very fast rider. And, as you mentioned, you're 2009 crash put an end to a professional racing career. What is/are the X factors(psychological, intellectual, etc.) that enable some humans to race at the highest levels and the rest of us? What makes them different from the rest of us?

You sure that's actually UA-cam's doing ?
@@More_Row yes. 100%. It happens all too often
what a brilliant channel this has grown into
Totally agree. The interviews are incredible and informative. Cheers from Australia.
1. click like
2. watch video
3. profit
Also gotta love Al's chilled approach to interviews and how he lets those guys talk without interrupting them.

I'll say this Al, you're getting more info out of the BSB paddock this year than Eurosport 👍
Cooper & Hicken: Down to earth, no hype, mega knowledgeable. Brilliant. Interviwer was pretty good too. Good job.
Excellent job Fagan - I really like these in-depth interviews you do so well
Id love to have an episode on rear brake use, i think every motorcyclist is a complete newb with rear brake and i for one would love to learn to use it better
Chops cameo at 11:50 😆
LOL, that was hilarious Choppers.
Great interview Al. Looks like you were riding at a good pace, sweet bike. Any chance Chris could interview you on your racing background and biking life? 🖒
Maybe, but he'll lose interest after 5 minutes 😂
@@FortyFourTeeth yes, maybe , but we will not! 😎
44Teeth it's not exactly edge of the seat is it 😂😘
44Teeth So we are getting a 5 minute video?
I'd be interested in that too
Nice one. Very interesting video into the in's and out's of a BSB bike. Well done Buildbase Suzuki and Richard Cooper for letting you ride it.
Best episode this year. These 'stories' arent being told elsewhere. Thanks so much!
Al's on camera character & interviewing skills have improved and the channel is really developing into a more professional rather than 'just for fun' style.

Don’t drop the bar.. keep that pro nature of the channel

One of the best vids about motorbike racing, ever!

Easily the best motorcycle related UA-cam channel.

You weren't taking any prisoners on that ride.
Top props fella. 🏆
Great vid! Good Questions, and no nonsense feedback!!

very enlightening, wish you could have got all their secrets out of them!
Jason Strathan can really sling a bike around a track.
This kind of content is spot on. Thanks for the effort you all put into this.
All I could think all the way through that video is how much is that master cylinder????????
love the interaction with the race teams , moto2 , side cars and this lately
Awesome interview and ride, great vid! :-)
Brilliant video. Great interviews giving a wonderfully detailed insight. Thanks
It’s nice to see team Suzuki is still going strong
Laughing at the “J5” at 18:54 as that means that wheel was balanced by myself
Just found out by watching this video, I have that one part that this buildbase suszuki has as well, and that's the Renthal Gen3 clip-ons, how cool is that?!
Looks and sounds like such an awesome machine. What a smooth motor.
You look pretty quick for a big lad :) Enjoyed that, still some of the best content on YT. Keeping it real!
Very informative with great insight on the bike and development. Thanks for sharing.
That bike is so cool and your a really good rider, sick laps!
Yeah, fantastic insight. Great work
brilliant insight on the engineering on this vid. great work Sir!
Awesome. Love these behind the scenes videos, the geek in me finds them super interesting! 🤘🏻
Great video and world class interviews. I love your channel!
Sick piece of kit! Very entertaining 👍🏻 and I thought my old 04 blade was quick 😁
fantastic insight - great channel to watch
wow I didn't know the Yoshimura race exhausts were such unobtanium!! Great info.
Love Shelby's " You might be forgiven if you wreck You will not be forgiven if you are slow"
Great interview and nice laps wicked bike. Be well and safe.
That Suzi was mega around Bishopscourt Circuit last October with Coops on board. Two wins!
At 12:10, what is the function of the bump on the seat of that superbike? Anyone could help?
It helps the rider stay in position under hard acceleration, instead of sliding to the rear.
@@kmc7355 great. Thanks a lot
@@ErikNguyen195 Any time 👍. Also if the rider is shorter, he is not using all of his arm strength to hold on. Valuable in a long race.
Stellar interviews lads.
Love suzuki bikes 😘😘
Wow!!! I didn't realize BSB didn't allow TC in the Superbike class.
Great video with good technical insight 👍
what was wrong with the last upload, was it that bit where all the secret race settings were accidentally revealed ?
See the pinned comment!
BSB is at a very high level. Teams, riders and bikes are all really top notch.
Just look at how Redding has struggled coming from MotoGP to just get to the front at all in 2019.
Lol
Great interview! a good insight
Did they put the stopwatch on your laps Al? You looked like you would have laid down a very respectable time 👌
Sweet little Interview here, hefty onboard there, all around super informative. What more could you wish for.
classic 44teeth goodness.
Finally good sound quality
BOOOOOM. Great vid. Just keep them coming.
Your videos are getting to be so 'on point'! Soo much better than T. V!
Brilliant vid, well done Al
That is a beautiful build

Good vid. Good information. enjoyed that alot. Keep up the good work
Great video and some really interesting background information guys 👍
Brilliant video
Can you ride Shakeys Duc next please Al and then Leon's green machine ???
Awesome interview and great riding! Bike noob question, why don't they run a steering damper on the race bike?
They do. You just can't see it!
This video didn't come up on your feed?
Another level video again boys......
Great stuff chaps, keep it up
So how would a BSB superbike compare to a IOM TT superbike??
Love that you guys can dick around on bikes and have top bants yet also pull off an in depth 'documentary' style vid. And no media trained answers.
Mate thats just so sick, would love to have a go :D
Good riding mate .
Bloody good video!! 💪🏻
great content! keep up the good work
Rider input makes for great racing
Smooth as Statham.
Aren't they allowed to use braided steel / carbon fibre & kevlar brake lines?
All I saw was some see through stuff.
Can somebody explain please?
could be anything from rules, costs or preference, but i've never seen them on race sbk
Back to basic.love it
Why no rear mudguard on these bikes?
moto GP and WSBK have one.
Content level - Top!
Hello Fagan. Excellent video.
You're a very fast rider.
And, as you mentioned, you're 2009 crash put an end to a professional racing career.
What is/are the X factors(psychological, intellectual, etc.) that enable some humans to race at the highest levels and the rest of us?
What makes them different from the rest of us?
Thought long and hard about this for years. And still have no idea. Your only hope is being ingrained in the sport from birth
It's the lack of fear the ability to ride on the very edge of your ability from my exp talking to racers marshaling and crewing stuff. Thoughts Al?
What a great video
Anyone know what the adjustable knob on the left handle bar is for? Quality vid
Brake adjustament, its required because of brake fade
Fair play you can ride Mr Fagan 🥳
