That first video is AMAZING!  I probably couldn't do that course even on a bigwheel...  I have a new found respect for motorcycle cops.

Ducatis can't do that course.  A bike must have a lot of lock to lock steering.  Not to mention the dry clutch will fry.  BMWs have a dry clutch but not for newbies.  They get a KawKZ1000 to flog.  I tried the cones on my BMW RT and they are difficult but with practice you can do it.  These LEOs at the rodeo are very good riders and they too have my respect.  They practice everyday they suit up.  Every U-turn, every chance they get cause it will save their life.  The trick just to get you stared is not to lean the body, lean the bike.
You don't stop riding motorcycles when you get old.  You get old when you stop riding motorcycles.

Not all Ducatis have the limited steering range of Monsters. Not all Ducatis have dry clutches.

My bike could probably do it. My bike's usual rider could definitely not do it.
