Gixxer 1000 Superbike-Helicopter view

Jono · May 21st, 2012, 11:19 PM

Here is a video of a helicopter trying to follow Guy Martin on his Suzuki GSXR 1000 Superbike at the Isle of Man!

Link to original page on YouTube.

Get ready for Isle Of Man 2012!!! Woooooo

I so wish I could go see this race in person. Hopefully in a couple years when I get done with college I can make it out to this race. It is a dream of mine.

Great find, Jono; thanks!

Are you sure that wasn't a Ninja 250?

I love the TT

cbdallas · May 22nd, 2012, 06:08 AM

Those mid-corner bumps he's hitting make my @ss pucker. He's quite a rider.

Xoulrath · May 22nd, 2012, 06:58 AM

Man that video is so full of skill.

Racer x · May 22nd, 2012, 07:17 AM

Guy Martin is my favorite rider as a personality. I love his interviews. But for skill Jon McGinniss is beyond reality When it comes to riding a motorcycle .

Guy Martin is my favorite rider as well. He has skills too! But his personality is quite awesome. I also like him because he is a mountain biker. And he is just a normal guy. In his interviews he is just like, "I am just a mechanic."

Thanks to the film TT3D: Closer to the Edge, I learned a lot about the Isle of Man and how cool Guy Martin is. I think I have a man crush.

I hope he can get a couple wins in this years Isle of Man.

For those of you who haven't seen TT3D... http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=98148 Watch it! It will change your life!

Anyone catch his crash a few days ago in the NW200? This should buff right out:

(bruising, but no serious injuries - link)

I am a huge Irish motorcycle racing fan. The North West is a wicked race.I like what Joey Dunlop said about the North West. "It was OK when bikes where slow but now they are far to fast and you have to be careful". Careful he says.

He has had worse...

Haha. Looks like Suzuki's are safer than Honda's. Those squids might be on to something.

I am glad he will be able to ride in the TT.

NDspd · May 22nd, 2012, 05:53 PM

AHHH, I want to go to the TT so bad...after college I hope.

Come on Martin, you got this year!!!

May 22nd, 2012, 06:01 PM

It's in 4 days right?

Racer x · May 22nd, 2012, 06:21 PM

I went to the TT in 2008 But before I could go I had to go up to Joeys bar in northern Ireland. Just to drink a pint to a great man. True to his wife Linda true to his sport.and true to himself.
I only wish I could have seen him race in person.this is his last time on the Isle.

He makes it look so easy.

Really beautiful video @Jono. The GSXR is my favourite super-sport. Love the aerial shots of isle.

I'm pretty sure I was seeing the rear wheel constantly braking and regaining traction when that riders was in the corners! He looked so relaxed while that was happening! I guess that perfectly illustrates why you need to be on the throttle through a corner. He can get away with the rear wheel doing that, but I bet if that was his front wheel braking traction (because he wasn't smoothly turning the throttle) then he'd be going head first into tarmac.
