cant see what happened... i'm guessing brand new tires as the culprit... cant hear any tire squealing.  new 848evo dark, didnt even have plates on yet.

Looks to bed poor body position... If you look at the rider on the red bike, you can see they are going about the same speed, but their bike has a lot less lean angle. They are positioned to the inside. The rider on the 848 looks crossed up and the bike is leaned over a lot more than the red one. Runs out of lean, touches something down when he's using all his traction already and that's that.

Its all about his body position....im up at the snake nearly every weekend on my bike and that last corner is a nasty one if your not used too it....its got a tricky double apex to it and you really have to have a good line going into the turn and not push it too hard until you know how far you can lean and where you end up accelerating out of the turn....My guess...bad line from the turn in....carrying too much speed without for his skill level....not hanging off the bike enough to keep the bike more upright and lastly and most obviously this is a new bike to him....this road is too advanced for a newbie to come out on a brand new bike to try and make his bones....

He's rear braking when he should be accelerating

Look at the slomo

between 0:23 and 0:24, there starts a skid mark from the rear tire

Methinks you are correct - didn't see his throttle hand move enough to spin the rear

You can hear him start to get on the gas, like been mentioned too much lean angle, bad body position, head as seen head was opposite side of bike and gas. Not sure how new the tires are as well( as in not scrubbed). Ouch, glad he is okay, hopefully learnt from the mishap. We have a saying in aviation, any landing you walk away from is a good landing!

[Mr Bread]

he used too much throttle too soon with shitty body positioning

[hunduc]

poor bike.

i wonder whether he buys the picture with his ass pointing to the sky.

If it was me, I'd definitely buy a copy.       I'm just glad there's no one to video tape all of the stoopid things I've done.

..... Not sure how new the tires are as well( as in not scrubbed)....

They're scrubbed in now!

That just makes me sad.....it was a gorgeous bike.....

Noob question from someone with a bike with no fairings. How much would frame sliders save in a crash like this?
