Street race 999 vs. GSXR1000

I just watched the trilogy 4 times.

Did the triple 9 come in yellow in 05?

[sbrguy]

i got to say the guy on camera is a lot smoother than the guy on the bike with the camera.

I didn't think yellow Ducatis could go that fast.

Isle of Man, Greek style.

Oba!!

I know a few guys that used to ride on the street like that.
They lived long enough to only ride hard at the track.

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.

I hate to burst your bubble, but his speedo is in km/h. Still crazy though. 

[Rameses]

Oh cool.

Looks like somebody found my vacation video from when I was in Greece.

Personally, I think the guy riding the Suzook wasn't backing it in, he was panic braking with the rear.   Watch where he is entering the corners, completely in the wrong place.   Watch where the Ducati is, he is in the right place, the Zook was always running off the inside of the turns, when he was, ahem, "backing it in".   It appears the Ducati guy, and this isn't any bias on my part, was much smoother and just messing with the Suzuki guy, doing wheelies, looking back, riding smooth.   The GSXR guy was all over, and appearing to be locking his wheel, not backing it in.

stoopid make the beast with two backss

it's one thing to ride above the norm on the street.... but crossing over on blind corners over and over and putting others into harms way is borderline criminal.

No Ducati's but in the same vein as the other videos posted (half way through the pair get to the highway).

I like the idea of everyone MUST be passed on one wheel.

Kind of an ongoing theme throughout.

Anymore? I just bought Orville Redenbachers Movie Theater Popcorn.

Fail - both of them. 


I don't give those guys any credit what-so-ever.

I'd use this video as an example of what not to do.






Bottom line - If you want to ride like that, find a track and ride your ass off. But don't put other people at risk because you want to ride like an asshat.



...end rant.

Nice to see what my bike can do.  Cause I will never be able / willing / stupid enough (emphasis on "able") to do it.

Honestly, I agree.  they might be able to ride their ass off, but they about rode that minivans ass off in to the woods.
