Fantastic footage of a really smooth rider hustling a Goldwing through the twisties

must've taken the armrests of the seat to hang his arse off like that

That fella would give a lot of sports bike riders a run for their money.

I had a Wing once -the old 1000cc number. Previous bike was a CBX1000 which was no slouch in a straight line or out of a corner.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the Wings performance across country. It had plenty of very easy usable power exiting corners at any speed in it's range and it delivered high average speeds touring on UK country roads. The petrol tank was/is under the seat so the low C of G helped enormously.
Just like any bike of that vintage (remember those days) one had to be circumspect when braking into bumpy corners, especially with a bit of luggage on the rear.

This is a big bike, being ridden with consummate skill and planning. To be admired and the lines studied.

Hate to say it - as it is skilled riding.
But that tape has been sped up.
Still irrelevant of the speed - that is still skilled riding.

Sped up?
How so?
The oncoming traffic still looked normal.

At 1:15 cam bike would have jack knifed
likewise 1:57, 2:51. Also notice car looks slow, then magically appears closer.

Usually happens as the frames get chopped when you compress the time-frame. e.g. go from 30 frames / sec to 35 frames / sec.

You get inconsistent 'errors' which make the footage looks like it goes fast, but then all of a sudden it feels like it stops. Especially with cheap software.

I may or may not tried to cheat with previous footage of me riding. In the past. And these were the same problems I faced. And I got schooled by those more learned that me.
The red-bull guys have some sweet software, which makes it seem almost seamless.
