Street race 999 vs. GSXR1000

[BastrdHK]

Looks like eastern Europe and these guys are flying?  Guy on the gixxer backs it in 4 or 5 times on the edge of front and rear grip at 60+mph....insane!!!  Watch the on board camera shutter as he does it.

woah...

those guys are insane. i kept expecting one of them to crash at any moment. way too fast for me in the street with all that traffic.

[Monstermash]

Yeah they're freakin' nuts. They can also ride they're asses off.

I want to see the view from the camera on the back of the 999.  wt:

What center line? What blind corners?  That is insane.  Looks like they have a death wish.  Very talanted riding though.

Hello there from greece , this is where this video is taken from. The route is Ag.Ioannis in athens... This guys are very experienced drivers and they made this video for commercial reasons only. They know the route blindfolded maybe you cant see from the onboard camera and it gives the impression that some of the curves are blind but their not. The tarmac quality is good because its new. The video given is not the original posted in youtube .
Here are the original posts enjoy them. Also they are very skilled drivers i would say  




With respect to all.

Holy crap, that guy comes a red c hair from a head on at about 2:25 in the first link.  In frickin sane.

And is it just me, or is his body crossed up in the corners? 

[DRKWNG]

Those dudes are in Greece I believe.  Seen that all over the Triumph forum a while back.  Sick skills, but all kinds of stupid to do that on a public street.

[Statler]

I bet they had fun.

looks like they could have stayed in their lane if they wanted to, which may or may not make a difference to people.

Half way through watching it my son comes downstairs.  "What'cha watchin'? " he says.  I felt like I'd been caught watching porn .   "uhhh..Just two highly-skilled idiots" I says. r:e) 

I know there are at least a half dozen places in that vid where I would have been on the ground.  I'll leave that kind of riding to the more skilled and less "testicularly challenged" members here. wt:

Preach on brother!

Very talanted riding though.

Not so sure about that.  They can twist the throttle, but there were several turns where they very clearly changed their commitment to the turn a few times.

Having ridden in many places all over Europe I will say that there are many spots that require a mid-corner line adjustment.  Especially in eastern and southern Europe.

All squidliness aside, the dude on the 999 had some skills.

That is great to watch but I dont think I would have the balls to do that with cars on the road.
