Fast 748 ride video, this guy is mad
 

Really? Seems like all revs and no corner speed to me.

Normal DSC rideout isn't it?? Top half of the speedo didn't get much use though.

Must try harder!

Yorkie.

Hmmmm....

I hope his mates wait for him at junctions

Surely you must mean on a motorway?
IME when riding with other (DSC) riders, the accent was on straight line speed bordering on ridiculous, corners were taken after halving the life of the brake pads.

for wild riding try this !!!

How does he get that rear brake to work? Mine is made of wood i think :-)

that second bunch in quite clearly nuts...

btw, Pete have you got the other bits for me yet?

badmanners - come out with the hants boys, its all about corner speed ;) and V rarely 3 figs.....

Barking,
Did you notice how easily that GSXR600 kept up with the 999 .......??

Who's going to bit first?

:lol: :lol:

sding the rear by pulling in the cluch and staming down a 2 gears and letting the the cluch out fast.

Of course he did, the 999 (or 749?) was a yellow one :frog:

dont think it was that easy...looked to me like the 999 pulled distance out of corneres and the 600 made up in braking...think same guy on both bikes 999 would have disappeared

come out with the hants boys, its all about corner speed and V rarely 3 figs.....

I have mate, that is who I was meaning :-)

Hmmmm...well, as far as the first guy goes I know from video taken from a rally car that TV doesn't give a very good idea of speed, so it's difficult to judge.

It's also difficult to see the clocks and the speedo is gonna be in K's anyway but count the gear he's in and watch the rev counter. For the most part he's in 3rd and 4th (maybe the odd dabble with 5th on a straight bit) and by my reckoning he's revving the engine at approx 7-8K for most of the time except a couple of occassions when he keeps it pinned in 1st and 2nd.

The other thing is that even though the speedo is in K's the mechanism is the same it's only the numbers on the scale that are different. Put all that together and it seems to me that he's doing somewhere between 60 and 80 most of the time with the odd squirt up to 90-100. Seems about right from the closing speed of oncoming traffic and his closing speed as he comes up behind stuff.

The road is not that technical either so I reckon he's stretching it a bit to call himself an "Abnormal, crazy driver"

The 748 one dont look that quick to me either, reckon I could stick with him on me Multistrada! Those Greek gentleman are clearly quite mad though!

You're not wrong there...impressive bike control though!

Riding like that on public roads......not long for this world me thinks, just hope its only them and not an innocent too ?!?!?!?

now that's the kind of mad i had in mind :-)

so mote it be

quite clearly says R1000 next to rev counter.

At last,that took a while.............
