Thanks for that video link; some skilled and practiced riding fer sure.

The bike is lightened and shrunk by the elimination of some parts/pieces down low, I notice. Also I can't decide if there is a special center stand or some alteration under the mid carriage.

None of that distracts from the riding though; reminds me of the video someone posted of a skilled and practiced Gold Wing rider on the Dragon.

With the right pilot, these bikes can do incredible things. Watching vids like that keeps me humble. lol

Mad Skillz for sure. Looks like the lowers are off, full exhaust and LSL bars for better leverage. Still very well done! Who says the fat chick can't dance!

I'm more impressed by this:

Nurburgring Fastest Lap

This guy has done it with an old R1 and probably invested just a little more than I what I have in my 14. He set the fastest lap with traffic!

Now compare with a professional rider on the same course but closed and with a newer machine (2011 ZX-10R)

Nurburgring Old fastest lap

The R1 guy spend most of his time on the course but still the other is a pro with a newer machine!

Moral of the story: Seat time makes the difference.
