On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I’m from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English – I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

Good to know.
What about superbikes that have bigger turning radius?
Awesome! I'll go practice this tomorrow!
In movies, they do 10 second burnouts before doing the u-turn
Your bike looks so cute when you sit on it
Counter steering is counterintuitive if you don't think about the need to line up the rear wheel with your desired line. I do "counter steering" all the time in all kinds of vehicles because sometimes ou need a sharp input to keep the real axle from straying too far out or in. Once you clearly understanding what you're doing it becomes totally intuitive. Sometimes the "racing line" is not what you imagine just from looking at the road. You have to make sharp inputs to keep your "angle of attack" optimized as well as lane or line positioning.
Tried a right turn like that once – my hands, in thick gloves, got trapped between the throttle and the gas tank, and I went down (could not twist throttle but recognized it too late to put my foot down and stop it).
This was awesome!
I’ve seen CHP motorcycle cops do this, too.
Crazy control🔥🔥🔥
I didn't even realize this is how I've been doing U-Turns on my Supercub — I've always been using countersteering to start the initial turn. I'll have to try giving it that extra countersteer to see how fast I can do these!

Basically slipping clutch
Don't do it often it will wear clutch faster
There are little stabilization wheels under the panniers at the back . Seriously, I live in Japan and have ridden bikes here for 25 years. All police bikes have secret stabilization wheels fitted. Fact.
( only joking but I did learn how to do this at an advanced skills course I took here )
Before, it pains me to clutch accelerate …turns out it's normal 😂 they will wear…and you need to maintain them…same goes for any engine. 😅
That’s what I always do on a bicycle!! I ride fast.
And I don’t ride the moto. Haha!
Why are you in Argentina?
This easy to learn if you know how counter steering works.You wont drop your bike as long as you keep power to the rear wheel.
😂😂 you ride a little girls bike.
The Japanese cops making tight u-turn on big bike with ton of luggage bags (surely they are emptied), and you show us on 50cc bike. Brilliant 😊
The problem is, this don't work with scooters or other automatic transmission vehicles like the new electric ones.
I have driven an electric one, where the throttle don't work, when a brake is activated. Even starting at a hill is impossible. Ok, the bike has a weight of under 100 Kg and everyone can hold it easy with the feets, but it's completly crap if you give the bike to a friend to ride.
Our politicians in India take sharper U-Turns.
When you fk it up its embarrassing eeeoor to me !. Its mostly overcoming instinct to foot down .(for me )
московская область? а че ватсап аргентинский? албанский норм :), успехов.
Why am I watching this?
low cg allows it
I didn't know this was a skill! I take such turns every day!
ok, but I think we need a trick from a Japanese supervillain to balance things out.
Only problem is dragging a peg or a peddle strike on a bicycle. Gotta practice this carefully.
As an Aussie postie, I used the CT-110, which features a centrifugal clutch. I was able to turn those bikes within their own length.
Easy to say on 125
Thanks for tge video I just bought an old SR3 with sequential gearbox and was wondering what it looked like shifting. I can't wait to get on track.
You have to quit looking back every time. It is ridiculous and you will NEVER get laid!
😱

To initiate such a turn do you also sightly lean the bike in the direction of the turn after turning the handle bar in the opposite direction?
Are you the person on the TV program open all hours.
I'm getting on my motorcycle right away, will be back with updates. I really am !
Turns out I've been doing that all along.. been riding for quite long. Seeing it so directly demonstrated made me think it's something new that I've to try and learn. But thank you very much all the same ! 😊
I've got frame sliders/axle sliders/engine cover on my MT07, going to gear up and practice this in the next few weeks. Nice post!
I’ve been using this technique for the last few weeks on my morning commute where my 3rd turn of the day is a U-turn on a fairly busy road with 3 lanes of traffic in each direction. This technique keeps things tight, tidy, safe, and quick! Thanks for this tip! Been enjoying your content. Good, sound, technical info here!
Tried this on a Royal Enfield 350 classic ,the resultant bent brake pedal will cost me best part of £100 to put right🙄.Chris
just a normal counter steering
Always looking for riding techniques implemented. This looks great. Be great to turn my electraglide like this. Ive taken the motorman ride like a pro course and it has saved my butt more than a few times.
those who are new to riding they would have problem doing this technique otherwise easypeasy
When they radar ping ur speed coming towards and wanna hit u with a $$$$ ticket 🙄
One of the best videos I ever saw. I undervalued the clutch for so long…
Didn’t know Borat had a youtube channel🤭
What bout if its not a flat surface i mean uphill or downhill i guess it might be dangerous to lean it that aggressive. And btw i m a beginner rider
I can't see this being easy to do on a super sports bike…
I was taught to do this on my bicycle, so I was not surprised.
The turn is only tighter because the counter-steering moves the centre of the turning circle away from the direction you are turning.
