The Best Point-of-View Motorcycle Videos Online

What do you do when you have a little baby KSR110 (yes, that's a 110cc pit bike) at Suzuka and you're hanging out with some bigger bikes? You strap on a helmet cam and do your best to keep up. Winning isn't the point; hilarity is.

Gorgeous roads like this make us feel especially patriotic.

This video just goes to show, it's not what size engine you have, it's what you do with it.

Every day would be a good day if we rode one of these to work. We love that you get a good idea of that sweet sound, even if there is still some considerable wind noise. Our feeling is that if you're posting an on-board video, we want to hear the engine -- not some lame soundtrack.

"What am I doing today? Oh, just taking my S1000RR on a hot lap of the Nordschleife. NBD, bro. Yeah, OK, catch up with you later."

If you ever wanted to do some cool tricks on your rear wheel without doing some cool tricks on your rear wheel, this vid is for you.

You can take your luxury cruises and stick them in your tailpipe. We'll take this vacation any day.

Two things immediately come to mind watching this. 1) Think about this video next time some asshole in a tiny hatchback won't pull through a gap into which you could easily pull a semi. 2) From now on, we'll always think of this when someone advises us to "go play in traffic." Standard-issue disclaimer here: please only lane-split where it's legal, Complex readers.

You know you would, if you could. That's all we're gonna say.

Imagine doing all this while contending with serious altitude change effects.

If you hear "sidecars" and think of some lazy asshole being dragged around in a quaint little pod on the side of a motorcycle, the Isle of Man TT's Sidecar class should make you think otherwise. Bikes are 600cc and do carry two teammates each, with one rider handling the controls while the other uses their body weight as ballast, shifting it all around the sidecar to improve the bike's handling as they hurtle through the course at insane speeds. Also, there's passing. This six-minute video is absolutely terrifying and amazing. It takes a special rider to do the IOMTT in the first place, but it takes an even greater degree of specialness to do Sidecars at the IOMTT. (And by "special," we clearly mean "completely, utterly insane.")

After watching this vid, we're pretty sure this is the ONLY way to watch MX.

In 2007, living legend Guy Martin recorded what was then the fastest lap ever in the Isle of Man Senior TT class on his Honda 1000 -- and had a helmet cam, from which Irish Racer Magazine uploaded this amazing footage. What we've posted up top is only Part One. Part Two is here. To make it even better, you get full lap commentary from Guy Martin himself. If you ever wanted to learn the Isle of Man TT route fast, here's a good start. (If you're wondering, the current Senior TT lap record holder is John McGuinness, who eclipsed Martin's lap in 2009.)

We'll warn you: At 31:45, this is the longest video on this list, but it's completely worth it. Two Triumph Tiger 800 XCs get an insane workout here in the hands of top Icon Motorsports riders Ernie Vigil, Kris Higdon, and Nick Brocha. Get out some popcorn, click to embiggen, crank up the volume, and enjoy the hell out of your next half hour.

We don't even know where to begin with this video. It's 5 minutes and 36 seconds of sheer, unadulterated awesome. Stop whatever you're doing right now, crank up the sound, set the video to fullscreen, and just watch.
