:O

I wish I had that much skill!

saxnbass · March 14th, 2012, 07:27 PM

It seems all the elbow dragging videos are R1s. Are they the only one of the big 4 that can lean this much or is it that the most skilled riders that can handle that lean just seem to ride the R1?

This makes me think of my first ride with my brother, we approached a turn that was much tighter than I thought. I remember I realized it was too late to slow any, and I looked up and the speed limit for the turn was 15, I looked down and I was doing ~55, so I did what my MSF instructor taught me; push, lean, and pray

I was dragging my left peg hard on the ground and I barely made the turn. He rides a thunderace (the predecessor to the R1) and he took the turn with ease. I've taken it for a few rides, its nimble, but too heavy for my tastes.

an r1 with a side exhaust?

choneofakind · March 14th, 2012, 08:20 PM

^^ I thought that too!! they're so sweet looking with the dual undertail! I don't like those side exhausts

saxnbass · March 14th, 2012, 08:24 PM

98-03 had side exhaust. It wasn't until 2004 that the R1 got an under tail exhaust.

Jono · March 14th, 2012, 08:26 PM

I saw this video earlier today and was amazed by that guys lean angle! Props to him. I wish I could do that.

we know. we like the undertail better on the new ones. That's why the side exhausts ruin it. Not every bike has a dual undertail stock

Linuss · March 14th, 2012, 09:26 PM

There's a video on Youtube where a guy drags his helmet, posted here a while ago... I freak out at a 15* angle.

Love that track so much, that bowl is amazing

I would be more impressed if he did that on the track. I dont think I could ever push it that hard in the streets after riding on slicks last weekend, makes my bt-016's feel like ****. I would love to post up at the top with a genny, slicks and some tire warmers lol

Same here. While I admire the skill, there's a time and a place for everything.

Kevin2109 · March 15th, 2012, 08:34 AM

Just saying its not really that hard to get to the edge of a tire

choneofakind · March 15th, 2012, 08:38 AM

Are those going to be good for another track day? or are they only good for one heat cycle?

Yeah!! There going to be good for another 4-6 track days easy, there barely worn lol And I run warmers so the amount of heat cycleing is much less then a normal tire without warmers

Not all slicks are only meant for one track day, pirelli has done an amazing job with these new slick, they have been tested at over 400 track miles on a AMA pro riders bike

Kevin2109 · March 15th, 2012, 08:43 AM

here is the set (took the pic as I was leaving this morning)

Rexbo · March 15th, 2012, 08:55 AM

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure i could drag elbow in the bowl now with the ninja, I'll give it a shot some track day when the photographer is parked on the inside

Ok, pack your stuff... lets roll. Cali is nice this time of year.

choneofakind · March 15th, 2012, 09:32 AM

I WISH!! I'm at school though, and I got plans here this summer.

As I already told Trailerboy-whatever-the-hell-Max's-username-is, I'll be looking for an internship summer of 2013. Guess which coast I'll be looking at??

CC Cowboy · March 15th, 2012, 10:02 AM

Those tires on that R1 looked completely bald. I couldn't see any tread. It's a wonder he didn't crash.

Kevin2109 · March 15th, 2012, 10:09 AM

I want to know how he warmed them up to that extent

choneofakind · March 15th, 2012, 10:15 AM

Maybe by riding like that all day long on hot asphalt

I would love to come out your way in SoCal, but like others, school and $$ is the main problem.

Jninja · March 16th, 2012, 07:35 PM
