That thing is awesome, and the video is fun overall, but putting a foot down (or pretending to) on pavement is just retarded. I get it, it's styled after a flattracker--but it's still a sportbike. It's surprising that someone who can actually ride as well as that guy obviously can, would do that, even just to pose. Check out this video of the same guy and bike, and imagine what good his foot could've possibly been doing him, dangling off the bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhdDWxDnVNs&feature=channel
Yeah, but that's not a motard. There's a speed threshold somewhere, over which a foot can't do anything but get broken if you put it down for real on pavement. Not sure what speed that threshold is, but I bet it's pretty low. For proof, notice in the link above he slides his foot while he's posing, then lifts it as soon as it breaks loose. He doesn't use his foot to help right the bike at all, because it can't.
I was just teasing. I just like the wheelies, because I'm still a 10 year old who is easily impressed by such silly things :). They did put 19's on front and rear on that bike tho.
That bike is awesome, and the video is totally fun to watch. Also that crossplane crank engine really does sound fantastic. Yeah I know they did 19s, but it's still a streetfighter to me. Hey, don't I know someone who already has a Yamaha streetfighter?
The guy can obviously ride, which is why I didn't understand the foot down.
