As RRxtar mentioned 7:50 puts that bone stock $12,000 motorcycle in contention with some pretty serious cars.

Hahahah it seemed like he was a bit unsure what to do with Karussel @ 5:45.... hardly designed for a bike

Awesome riding and sweet video!

I guess he can said it is slow since some have done it under 7:30 on other liter bikes

either way.... it takes amazing skills (and guts) to get anything close to these lap times on a bike


btw...the gyroscopic camera gives a much more realistic view on what the rider sees vs a fixed camera.

Not yet no. A quality gyro mount is very expensive (thousands) so I don't think we'll see them produced en mass for a while.

Those are a lot of fun. At those speeds when the front tire comes off the ground the air pressure on the underside of the bike pushes it up. You can usually keep it pinned in full tuck and you feel weightless while still getting full acceleration. Love it

if anyone can, its gopro, the company that made you able to mount a nearly indestructible and waterproof HD camera to your bike, for under $200 will figure it out for the masses.


shit i remember before gopro we would be duct taping $1000 camcorders to our bikes. man times have changed.
