HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE AT THE ISLE OF MAN TT!
T
he 2017 Isle of Man TT marked the emer-
gence of a new star, as Peter Hickman
took a sensational five podiums in the Super-
bike, Superstock, Supersport, Lightweight
and Senior TTs.
During the TT fortnight, Hickman had use
of one of the most delectable racing motor-
cycles ever created, the carbon-fiber framed
BMW HP4 Race.
And he used it to great effect, very nearly
winning the Superbike TT to fellow BMW
rider Ian Hutchinson.
BMW Motorrad UK took Peter's HP4 Race
and loaded it up with cameras to give you
one of the most in-depth views ever created on
the Isle of Man. This video is full HD, with all the
glorious sound and blurring color you get from tak-
ing a 210 hp WorldSBK-spec racer by the scruff
of its neck and riding it to within an inch of its life.
The BMW pops on the traction control and rev lim-
iter, wheelies, backs into corners, lays black lines
out of them—this truly is a brilliant video.
Give this video full screen, full sound and revel
in the sheer skill of not just Peter Hickman but ev-
ery rider who takes to the treacherous but iconic
Isle of Man TT course. CN
