Its not the 250 yet, but this is my 1000rr, I found this hump behind some buildings under construction and decided to try and jump it, get a good bit of air! Cant wait to try it on the 250r! Isle Of Man eat your heart out!
*Note where the shadow is to get an idea of air*

The flying part's easy. It's the landing part that we need to be concerned about. :D Nice pics...

Hope you have some experience jumping a dirt bike. I can see things going very wrong, very quickly if you don't know what to expect or get just a wee bit out of shape. With the weight of street bikes, it will be hard to correct once something goes wrong.

Have fun. :D

cool... jump away then! :D

I see you're smart enough to be fully suited up while playing, so I know you are fully aware for what could be in store for you.

only one thing left to say.... VIDEO!!
:woot2:

Nice jumps, I on the other hand, will not be attempting anything like that for a while! (only been riding 2 wheeled motorcycle for 5 months) Ha ha ha :D

(only been riding 2 wheeled motorcycle for 5 months)

And how long have you been riding motorcycles with other than 2 wheels? :)

And how long have you been riding motorcycles with other than 2 wheels? :) I have been riding quads casually (in school holidays and on some week ends) since I was about 6 and at 8 I got my first quad, Ahh, I remember the day :D

Though I have done a fair amount of mountain biking since 14 (I am 20 now) though that has been killed due to an injury to my right arm in November last year :(

...due to an injury to my right arm in November last year :(

Heal up fast! Still nursing an ankle injury myself from a track accident a few years back.

Heal up fast! Still nursing an ankle injury myself from a track accident a few years back. Thanks, though the doctors have said this will only get worse over time :( (artiritis in my wrist due to fracturing the joint in 4 places (not to mention the 2 breaks on the arm bones requiring metal work :eek: )

Oh, I hope you heel up soon. We humans need to be able to heal faster! :D

i use to have a couple of spots around town that'd i'd jump on my 600 all the time. probably didn't get as high as you are, but still fun every now and then :D

And if any of you were wondering how I prevent my forks from blowing, here is how I usually land. I ride the wheelie down nice and easy.

Haha, thats crazy! Cool pics though! :thumbup:

No jumping on my bike, but I did accidentally jump my car once. :eek:

Pretty sweet shots. I've never intentionally jumped a bike. I was riding with a few buddies on an long long straight road. I was on my old 600 and hit a small bridge that ran across a farmers irrigation ditch. Apparently my bike was damn near 2 feet off the ground. It felt like I never left the ground. I just thought the lip of the bridge was a little rough. Must have been going close to 200km/h when it happened. Thankfully I was fine and no damage to the bike that I know off.

That's crazy...AWSOME! The only bikes I jump where my motorcross bikes back in the day. Have not gotten that venturous on a sportbike.

I've gone over a few speed humps but thats as close as I've gotten ;)

Watch this fellow jumping a sportbike:

squid! lol atleast he wore a helmet...

I have been looking for a picture of someone "jumping" over a bike like a hurdle. That is the "only" way I would ever think about jumping my bike. The possibility of tank slap has made a believer out of me! :D

I had a small jump last week.
I was coming around a corner in race mode (in the street:nono:) with a median strip in the middle of the road, I could see I wasnt going to make it through the corner without going over the strip. So I pulled up the bike strait and held on! launched over the median strip landed on the opposite side of the road and stomped on the brakes. I didnt drop the bike and there was no damage, but wow wont do that again!!!!

lol...lucky man.

Stay alive. :-)

sport bikes are not meant for jumping. if really want to jump why not get a dirt bike. isn't this child abuse? i'll call the CDC on ya...:D:D

Yeah, I have this for jumping now! :P

Ohhhhhh.... thats hot.

i've been desperately trying to avoid thinking about 690smr and the like. i have a dual sport, but i'm really craving a proper motard. trying to do a trip to south africa this fall instead of buying another motorcycle... sure it hard.

Ive had to do this a few times recently. I know you should connect the red cables straight to each battery but do you think the black cable should attach to the frame to ground it instead of straight to the negative on the battery? this is using a truck to the bike.

Thats one nice looking bike Jesse!

the Center for Disease Control?? Is his sportbike-jumping contagious? lol
i think the acronym for Child Protective Services is probably CPS :D

Contagious?! Better go get vaccinated!

Bringing a thread back from the dead, anyone else do this? Its so much fun!! :D

I did this on the 250 and blew the headlight bulb on the landing a while back hence the lightbulb thread I posted.:)

Bringing a thread back from the dead, anyone else do this? Its so much fun!! :D

Yes, I've brought many threads back from the dead. It *IS* fun. :D

Oh, you meant anyone else jumping their sportbike. Carry on.

yes. I've done it a few times over humps at traffic lights. There's one coming out of the valley that if you time it just right in third gear with the light, coming up the last hill, you can launch off the crest and table-top the majority of the intersection. Best part is, the crest is perfect so that there is a nice smooth landing zone that is angled downwards and the landing is not a huge impact, but a clean landing. Only have to be moving about 65 or so... ;)

Not sure what this has got to do with the OP thread but yes the owners manual clearly states do not connect the black to the negative but to a good ground on the frame.
