ROAD RACING - Haydens On TV
Posted by Kit Palmer
Discover The Haydens 4/17/2006
The following is a release from Kawasaki:

Reigning AMA Supersport Champion Tommy Hayden and series runner-up Roger Hayden are to appear on the Discovery Channel's newest show, "Speed on Two Wheels," scheduled to air Wednesday, April 19th. The Kawasaki Racing Team riders will be appearing alongside their crew as the show progresses through the many technical aspects of what it takes to be competitive in the AMA Superbike series.

Produced by Cry Havoc Productions, "Speed on Two Wheels" also takes the viewer into the world of the modern sportbike. Viewers will learn the artistry and engineering of these two-wheeled rocketships and what makes them tick. The program covers everything from how the average consumer can learn better riding skills to how top racers dial-in their finely tuned machines.

Depending on the cable provider the show is scheduled to air on either the Discovery Channel or the Discovery Science Channel. Be sure to check your local listings for time and channel.

It was an awesome show, and I'll provide a link to download it but the DVD will be out later this summer and will include an extended version and tons of bonus features so make sure to buy it!

Also after you watch it make sure to leave feedback on the Discovery Science Feedback forums, they do actually look at the feedback left and take it into consideration for future programming. It only takes a minute to sign up and they don't send you any spam:

holy crap! what kind of connection you got???

i have dsl and only getting 160-170k\b

its really good server, so downloads should be pretty fast

okay so I did think this would get a little more/better response

for those that downloaded it, what did you think?

personally I thought it was AWESOME and a huge step for sportbikes in nearly mainstream tv

I know it was 100x better than 2 Wheel Tuesday and all the other Speed crap

yeah it was a cool video, i learned alot about racing and track riding from it.. i cant believe you didn't edit out the commercials though..

sorry, I didn't upload the video, I'm just sharing it

That was great, it was actually the first program about motorcycles I've seen that focused on sportbikes. Nice to see people know that there are motorcycles out there based on cutting edge performance and technology, not archaic design and technology from the 1960's.

dling as we speak

Great show! Downloaded it last night and burned it to a dvd already. Good find!

i also thought the speed shifters where really neat, how they kill the engine for that fraction of a second why they shift so you never have to let off the throttle.. amazing. also did anybody else notice that when they where rebuilding the kawas that when they where done the bikes where only getting 120hp?

I'm working on uploading a commercial free version but its gonna take a while, I don't have the greatest connection.
Its been a while since I watched so I don't remember the HP but 120 isn't terrible, the ZX-6RR probably only starts out with like 104 HP and Supersport rules are pretty limiting
I would have thought it would have a little more though (and maybe it does)

okay new link now without commercials, hopefully it works:
Speed on Two Wheels

its also now 400MB rather than 600, so downloads should be even faster, let me know if it works

the 06 triumph 636 has 130hp stock...

everything I read said 123 from the 675, but I haven't really researched it a whole lot
it is incredible though considering the other 600s are hovering around 108 stock, kinda makes you wonder why exactly they needed the extra 76cc's

Just got done watching and that's a great video! A lot of technical stuff and good facts. Thanks for the download, i think i'll watch it again.

THANKS for posting the link!

no problem ya'll just make sure to leave feedback on the discovery forums

its not a problem, they have way more than enough bandwidth, either way they wanted the video so I got it to them and in exchange they are letting me share it with everybody

Thanks for the awesome video.

It took me no time to download it and the quality is great. I learned a lot from that video.

yeah the server has some good uploading speeds - very nice.. but watching the vid right now..

HAHA - see even tv says speeding is better "the gyro effect - the faster you are going, the more stable it is" - I'm so using that when i get pulled over for speeding next time haha
