I know it's not meant to be a bike vid, but they have quite a few very cool bike segments in it, definitely worth a watch, they covered drag bikes in a bit of detail, had a top speed test between a zx12r and a heavily modified toyota supra running at 850hp and they ended up (after the second) both maxing out at 321km/h on the autobahn, was faaarken cool they had a cam on the bike

Yeah, pretty mint movie. :headbang: :niceone:

The last segment was great. I'm not convinced it was Ketzel pulling wheelstands on that ZXR though. And wasn't the "road" in question, Desert Rd? :cool:

yeah would make sense seeing as it was near a desert, haha it was a pretty mint segment though, that bit where they went head to head was kinda stupid though, other than that the wheelies and stuff were awesome, shoulda thrown in a matrix style stoppie haha the computer generated stuff just keeps getting better and better on high octane so who knows

And Ketzal rides an R1 in the big finale...or does he have a stunt-rider?

I was curious to see what name he would come up with, we had a bit of a brain storm at the drags one evening. "Octanepussy" was what he was thinking of going with around that time...

Has the new one got a 'fight scene' too? I bought part 2...that was some quite funny shit. What a clown.

Looks like a ZX something or other, now that I see it again (pictured above in black)

The words you are looking for is the Kawasaki ZX10R. Now bow down in awe at my marvellous observing powers

Hate to say it, but through corners, a GTR is gonna whip some ass off a zx10r...
I doubt ketzel would have a hope in hell of riding a bike half decently, i hear that most of his sports car stunts are stunt drivers??sound right or is this a harsh call on the dude?

Ketzal has been getting right into bikes over the last 6 months or so, from memory his NZ ride is a ZXR250, but he's been on much quicker bikes...

I just bought this on an impulse buy for $25 at Whitcoulls (since they didn't have 'Faster' which I was after).

Not a bad watch overall.

Turns out that the dude riding the zx10r is not Ketzel, but rather this Lance Lowe guy...I think it's the same black 10r that's always at Mt. Eden M/C too (got the same HyperPro steering damper anyway).
