Why Light Motorcycles Corner FASTER

Why can light motorcycles corner faster than heavier ones if all else is equal?

if only Math teachers would have used subjects of things we might understand and had interest in, like motorbikes, well explained Mike

Mike has masters in math and physics.
Seriously Mike what did you do earlier? Big fan, great content. I'm math+physics major and Motorsport enthusiast, love the way you explain the physics of it.

I needed to pause the video some times to be on the same page ✅, but this is very well explained. 💯
A little bit confusing if you hear it for the first time 😯, but it was broken down very sharply. 👌

I can rewatch your videos as my riding progresses and keep pulling good stuff from them. Thanks for doing this - riding the only thing that makes me happy

Alright now Imma gonna buy a 50cc and shame every1 on the track

I was surprised to learn that the coefficient of friction increases with decreased mass of bike+rider. I've always wanted to try out one of the old two stroke 125s or 250s to feel that weight advantage through the corners and the raw two stroke power. I rode my new-to-me cbr600rr for the first time at BW a few weeks ago, and I definitely felt slow through the corners because of the weight. Feeling that butter smooth 600cc power, though... it blew my mind!

I wish they would sell Moto3 bikes to the public to try on the track or a safe variant for the streets. Great stuff man, really loving your videos.

Nicely said man... Keep doing this kind of videos

Thats why triumph Daytona are good at corners.

You’re channel has helped me so much, thank you truly. I’m not able to ride for the winter being I’m in Canada but your channel is definitely helping me with the withdrawals while giving me a lot of information to help me on the track for the next season

There's nothing quite like taking my RC390 out to a B-Group session on the track and passing a Super Duke 1290R repeatedly 😏

Can a pedal bike out corner a motorcycle? If you could tow a pushbike up to say 100 kmh on a tight twisty downhill mountain road. would it be able to carry more of this speed through the corners and possibly overtake a motorcycle? after all It would be way lighter compared to the motorcycle with extremely narrow tires. good things for corner speed by all accounts.

Brilliant Mike.. I keep telling my biker mates to stop adding carbon and actually lose some body weight which is free

Hi Mike! I've been breaking in an electric Zero DSR for delivery work, but your videos has me dreaming of supermoto! Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on electric... instant torque, no shifting, 0-60 in 2.6 in a 420lb body. The Zero FXS looks even better, designed for supermoto. Your keen insight would be great to breakdown the pros/cons of electric for racing. Have you ridden a Zero?

[silvershadow]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos mike

"How did you overtake me on the track?" -"Math and physics"

[mushrifmahmud]

man i love your videos
pls keep it going

[SirloinBeefBurger]

If math was taught like this in high-school, I would've paid attention

[charlesbarnes]

finally all of my questions are answered

Nice touch by showcasing the cossalter 😄
