I always lean at 64° but suddenly crowd gathered and help me out...

When you pay for the whole tire, you may as well use it all.

Being a casual rider I am sure I can hit 64 degrees of during a rapid uncontrolled migration from 30 degrees to a full flat 90 degrees. LOL

64 degree?? Huh?
even if I make turn in 30 degree I feel like I'm riding very awesome.

I was struggling to remember what a credit card looked like, thanks for the pic...

2:36 I always find the high-def slo-mo close-up shots of moto-gp to be really impressive.

Not only the lean angle of the bikes is impressive but ad to that the slip angles of the tires and you get a real sense of just how on the edge these riders are. I tried road racing motorcycles back in the mid-seventies(Yamaha RD-350 on Dunlop K-81's)and was blown away by watching the fast riders enter the corners sliding the rear out. I can do that on four wheels but never felt comfortable trying to do that on two. That is why I still have much respect for road racing motorcycle riders.
Great Video. Thank you for posting this

Incredible. I always move for the bikers on the freeway. We are in metal cages and you guys exposed! badass

I’m shocked that the friction actually didn’t give out to the centrifugal force. New motogp fan here and at this stage, I don’t even know the riders at all. I’m just casually sitting here with awe at every corner they take.I’m highly impressed in the skill and engineering

Sorry guys, but if you watch the video and stop it "Exactly" when the angle line from up right center, to "max angle center of the bike", (2:04), the Bike is only at 51 degree's, its the rider who is leaning to 64 degree's, not the bike..

Elegant explanation. There was a time when Lorenzo was pretty much in class of his own, like Casey Stoner. To my way of thinking, MotoGP is the most realistic racing I have ever seen.

The key to leaning the bike over that far is the tires. Any bike with enough ground clearance can lean over. You lean to make the turn. You just need enough speed and centrifugal force AND most importantly, TRACTION. Street bike tires aren't as sticky as Motogp tires because they are also made for durability. Motogp tires only last one race.

I love how everyone in the comments is an expert

Long time ago, I got 270 degrees in one direction albeit i was off the bike at around 90 and the bike was totaled around 180 it was cool while it happened. I just had to Roll with it.

LOL, i stopped the video at 2.04 and that bike is no more than 53% from verticle. This is talking about Bike lean angle, yeah? and not rider lean angle?

4 years ago and this is on my youtube home recomendation, anyone same like me on 2020?

What's interesting is when describing the lean angle, you go by the center line of the bike, yet for the max lean angle of 64 degrees, it's not.

Awesome illustration of the rider skill. We the fans get so engrossed in the competitiveness, we take it for granted, don't we. Sheer skill. No room for fear.

Weight reduction has played a huge role in lean angle as well. That super grip tire compound with it's credit card contact patch isn't doing this all on it's own.
