  1. One thing is certain, if he continues to ride like that his number will surely come up.

  3. Interesting video.... reminds me a lot of why I'm giving serious consideration to scrapping the idea of putting the 848 on the road. LOL. I've done a bit of that stupid stuff back in the day and it's VERY easy to find yourself riding like a crazy guy that's for sure.

  4. We've all been there surely? And we all know the rider won't listen to experience. It's those not here to read this that he could do with chatting too, and he probably will be soon anyway.
    But lest not forget, it's a yellow one so he can't be going that fast really :Hilarious:
    Still not gonna temp my 748sps out the garage. My TL is cheaper, more dependable, more exciting and easier on the daily commute. But it would be in a hedge chasing an sps down roads like in the video :Inpain:

  5. Well, like the general consensus on this thread - I think he looked like he could handle his bike rather well; and yes, he was unduly dangerous in places (which, quite frankly, is utterly stupid) and chanced a lot to luck. Certainly in a different league to my riding, in many respects, but oh, didn't it sound good on song?!
    ...I'm looking forward to when the rider owns up and steps forward on this forum - that will be an interesting read...

  6. ;) It is obvious why he was riding like that.... Take another look... His petrol warning light was on and he was hurrying home before he ran out of fuel

  8. I can't fully condone that kind of riding but I was fascinated by how slowly the speedo went up, he should try that type of throttle work on a 2015 S1000rr.......

  9. 7 minutes of thrashing the life out of the bike. Id never abuse my bike that that - mechanical sympathy and that.

    sounded great though.
