I just picked this up a couple weeks ago... 2002 Honda CBR954RR with only 13,000kms on it... replacing my 2001 Honda CBR600F4i  Can't believe how much more power the litre bike has, shouldn't even be legal LOL!  |

and over taking on the highway is a cinch, no downshifting required. Bike's more stable too at higher speeds no?

^That is the damaged bike when it was still in california. The picture on my phone is the same picture. I guess because the above pic is larger, really shows the damage clearly. Brandon?
It's damaged to that extent due to the estimated speed of 170kph the highside occurred. It felt like riding a rodeo bull. I was literally thrown maybe 15ft into the air, I had enough time to react to put my arms in right before smashing into the asphalt. Then being ragdolled another 150ft or so. Didn't want to break my wrists at that speed.
Thank you to good invested gear was I able to walk away with no broken bones. But I do have rehab ahead of me for my shoulder.
Should be an R6 for next season. 08 and up. Know anyone selling??

When you slide your mind automatically tells your hand to stop giving gas....by then you just hope for a lowside but if not then the bike will flick you off so fast that you'll be flying up in the air and hitting on the ground before you even know it.

Would simply reducing the amount of throttle be OK in a turn?

it could also happen by a rear brake causing a skid and then letting the pedal off while leaning of course....
There is just a lot of possibility to make the bike rear end slide and to retain grip again causing a hinge where it regain traction while the bike is already sideways, rotates and throws you off..it depends the inertia too by how high your going to fly up in the air after it flicks you off... when the shock compresses and loads up, then decompresses it throws the rider into the air
