the use of the gyro is cool but to an extent i wish it wasn't used so you could get a better idea of just how wicked of a ride that really was

Apparently; the bike doesn't use the whole back tire, the swing arm angle is about 8 degrees and it can't quick flick!

First for me is the Dempster highway, then both ride & watch the Isle of Mann TT (obviously not as a racer!), third is riding a bike on the Nurburgring! I'm old enough to have watched some of the greats race on that curciut! Amazing and deadly!

This also will help you to understand the reason for worldclass-riders and drivers talk with very great respect and reverence from it. And one tip from me, don't only race when you're there, also enjoy the unforgettable view from what is called 'the green hell' |

Another example, this time at at the Jennings GP circuit; although the gyroscope is unable to keep a perfectly horizontal view at all times. Note that the front view is not stabilized and leans with the bike:

Note from the Disclaimer: In case you are too lazy to actually read this guide Okay, so you're in the MTV generation and have a attention span of about 60 seconds. If you read nothing in this guide except this section, do yourself a favor and follow this simple advice: Prepare ahead of time with maps of the track, YouTube videos, and your favorite Nürburgring-equipped driving sim (e.g., Gran Turismo 4) Stay relaxed, go easy, focus on braking and turning points, and for god's sake don't time your laps Make sure you constantly watch your mirrors for rapidly approaching traffic, always using your right-hand turn signal to indicate for people to pass you on the left only If you're in a road car, do one or two laps and then let the car cool down in the paddock for at least 10-15 minutes—else your brakes and tires will be quickly destroyed Drink lots of water and have frequent snacks throughout the day Try to get lots of sleep at night and severely curtail your drinking/partying Recognize that the Ring is a one-way public toll road, so if you cause an accident, you will be liable for damages to the track, the cars, and the humans inside them If you have an emergency, call the Ring emergency line at +49 8000 302 112; the Ring office is +49 2691 302 215; you can get track info at +49 2691 302 620 Leave your ego behind in the paddock—it's not a race, and no one is keeping score Get on the web, check out the prices, the opening times, and plan ahead of time for your trip These tips should greatly improve your experience and keep your car out of the barriers. Now, do the right thing and read the rest of this guide, you bum. Read more about the Nürburgring here and I guess you'll understand what I'd want to say http://www.heiser.net/documents/nurburgring/ But the best way to understand is to go there and drive around or take a ride |

For more insight let me add the route and the profile of the Ring plus one more qualified note from the link:
Nestled among the endless dark green trees of the Eifel mountains in western Germany, this 13-mile circuit is arguably the most difficult and dangerous track anywhere in the world—and despite that, it's open to the public! Truly a gift only the Germans could give us. It is as unique as it is overwhelming. There may be other tracks, but there is only one Nürburgring.

Not an H2, but still a wicked ride on the Ring. Rider is Nino Pallavicini; it should come as no surprise that he rides for a living, though I don't recall what race series he's currently in.
