Did you see the super sport race at snetterton at the weekend?

The 749 would not follow the visual line of the rider, at the pace being set.

This eventually led to a very spectacular dismount, when the bike decided that it couldn’t follow anymore. He had been struggling for most of the race with the bike not turning with him.
The overhead shots picked this up all the time. It was a real display of a rider struggling with a badly set up bike. He was lucky to get as far round the corner as he did and scrub off a lot of the speed he had going in. Bowel movement I’ll say I had movement just watching it on the Tele.
