Enjoy! Caution unless you have some super-moto experience I suggest you skip the rear brake entry / backing it in.

Skip rear break entry? I was going to try it cummuting to work tomorrow.
That is pretty cool vid.

if only backing it in was as easy as he makes it look. Someday I will learn...

I like how they trisect the corners. Plenty of riders aren't familiar with how to do this. They also go over the throttle and brake application.
Best of all is on the YAMAHA r6 a bike we have all seen do the dirty on the track.

wait....skip over the backing it in?!?!?! But it looks soooo easy!!!




on a side note: I thought that when the rear is sliding out (or backing it in) was due to the rear tire moving faster than the front tire, hence it steps out. However, in the video, they describe it as the rear is moving slower...???

its funny that the mirrors are still on there.... thats the first thing that goes on any road bike.

That would suck for him if he had to ride stock tires too. There is one side shot... did anyone notice what tire he had mounted? Sure is slow going around those turns.... kinda sux for a promotion video

 

[unclejesse]

its a stock bike.. tires and all from what I saw..


I just wanna go faster.

The tires look like BT002RS to me. Which would be a street tire and could have come stock. Sometimes the tires are different from the Euro bikes and the US bikes.

Now you add Spies method of learning the track (http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/mcy/spies_video.aspx [I know its a repost]) to Rossi's teachings in this video...... and we all should be A group riders right???
