The guy probably rode a dirt bike for years before he rode a mc. Nice control. :)

They're all Japanese motorcycle cops. Saw that video and my jaw about dropped.
You're right though, Vio. We had a kid in my BRC that rode dirtbikes and he could do the tight maneuvers better than even the instructors.

Actually, probably not. Those are Asian motor cops, probably Japanese, and some of the schools available for motor cops are pretty fantastic. I'd guess that's Suzuki or Yamaha police bike, not available over here. Maybe a Kaw, but I know Yamaha has a police version of the FJR.

I can't see an FJR pulling those maneuvers. But, I could be wrong :)

Yeah, I'm not sure. That didn't sound like a big engine, and the FJR-P is a 1300. But the profile is about right. (http://www.woodwayengineering.co.uk/index4b.html)

Comments on the actual page for that vid say it's a Kaw Ninja. Thing does have dirt bike like characteristics. LOL http://www.livevideo.com/video/3BD2C2865C9A4B8FB4D851155F0322AA/kawasaki-ninja-zx-6r-on-the-tr.aspx

No, the video poster says VFR750. Nice riding, all the way.

Well, I'll pick on cruiser riders too. No way in hell I could do this.

Nice cruiser riding too!
I missed the part about the VFR750.
Oh yeah, well he's clearly missed mandatory donut call for the last six weeks. And, I might add, I'd like to see him do that after a 12-pack. :haha:

Our motor units have been to handling training like that. I've seen them put on demos, but they're not THAT good. That is amazing.

Uhm, folks, it's not the bike but the rider. Any rider like that can do that on any bike. AND, if you get THAT good, you are golden.

Of course it's the rider, get back to me when you can do that on one of these (http://www.egotastic.com/image?path=0806/katherine-heigl-bikini-3-05.jpg&info=Katherine%20Heigl%20Bikini%20Pictures). :biggrin:

LOL - I'd like to see him try that on a Ducati Monster, the turning radius on them is massive
