    Crazy balance points...

    Don't know if this is the right place, or if this has been posted before, but these guys get some damn impressive balance points soooooooooo quickly... especially with the 'standing-up' wheelie: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...9&q=motorcycle

    the only way your ever going to be pulling "slow wheelies like that if you have 15 up on the back sprocket" otherwise the throttle will be to touchy-- the more teeth you have on the back the easier it is for the front to come up at very slow speeds" alternatively you can drop a couple in the front ,-- now im no pro, Im very much a learner" but speaking to some guys who are doing this they all say the same thing--

    be woth putting a sprocket on the back to try though"" anyone wanna lend me their bike--- Oh go on--

    The other major advantage with going to a larger sprocket is it tends to increase the engine braking effect, say in a highchair you go over BP you hitting the deck with standard gearing (maybe maybe not, but it's more likely to happen) but with lowered gearing just backing off can have the same effect as dabbing on the rear brake, already mentioned how much easier and smoother you can bring it up with a larger rear as well.

    Bring on the massive sprockets me says.

    did anyone notice how low the tires are (talking about air pressure)?

    Lower air pressure makes it a lot easyer apparently...

    Those are pretty impressive
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Like how slow? 20-30km/h slow? Because on stock gearing your R1 must be pulling only roughly 3000rpm. How do you keep it up at those revs?

    yeah, the ending section would've been good... loved the intro where they both do perfect duel stoppies

    Something I just remembered... did anyone notice as the bikes are going past the camera (left to right) in a stoppie, and the bikes are returning to idle revs, don't they sound a tiny bit like the pod racers from star wars episode 1?
