Video: Ever wondered how loud MotoGP bikes are?
MotoGP bikes… all have massive 1,000cc engines with no reasons to reduce the amount of noise they create. As normal motorbike engines are pretty darned loud anyway, that means MotoGP ones should be astonishing.
Well, for those of you who have never had the chance to hear a MotoGP bike at full chat, there’s always the Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. Problem is, that’s a few months away still. So today we have a video demonstration of the decibel power MotoGP bikes create.
This is the MotoGP grid of 2019 getting some practice starts in after a Free Practice session. While some bikes just scream past, rider after ride after rider stops to have a go at launching their machine off the line.
And it’s not a bunch of random chumps. We’ve got Valentino Rossi himself, Jorge Lorenzo, Marx Marquez Alex Rins and more, all stopping a matter of metres from the camera to launch away and show you just how impressively loud a MotoGP bike can be.
Now, how do we get some tickets..?
