No need to ignore the first guy, both are talented. The 2nd dude reminded me of our very own Mr Death_Inc, I seen him do stuff like that but standing up! :yes:

Hell yeah, very cool clip. Was wondering about oil starvation for that period of time though, or do the manufacturers know what we get up to abusing their products!

Doesn't "overfilling" right till the neck help in those kinda wheelies ?

It would also help destroy your engine. GSXR's don't take too kindly to overfilling, I'll fill mine to the top of the glass but that's it. R1's and Hondas can handle an extra litre. A modified pick up is your best bet tho.

For sale: GSXR1000, unused front tyre............ Man that was talented - as Hondaline said, imagine the look on the faces of the car drivers he passed! Such control, so jealous!

I was thinking about how long that wheelie went for....

the speedo in the car looked like it said about 160km's, the clip is just over 2 mins... so if I've got it right thats about 5.5k's

Shit a brick that was skill. Far more enjoyable than watching ghostrider. Both were great to watch.
I watched the second rider again and again to try and spot any steering input but couldn't pick up anything. Not a head tilt, bum or shoulder shift...
His bike just seemed to steer itself. Must have been a bit nervous with that pass when he cuts it fine getting back to the right before a head on with the red truck. He must save heaps on tyres every year.
I can get mine to do the first veer a bit left or right but it's the next step, the correction and straightening up, that gets tricky. Steering while standing up seems easier to me. Usually I find that any road has a rise to the centreline so this curve is trying to veer the bike to the left. So even on a straight road you are giving input to the bike to not go left.

Man that was class!:gob:
A new bench mark has been set. Now if I could just get over my overwhelming sense of self-preservation I could start saving on my own front tyre.:blip:
