You're either very quick, very erratic or the bike is very flighty!

hes just being really aggressive with the throttle, front wheel just dancing off the pavement.
mine does that if im riding it aggressively. as long as you dont grip the bars hard its fine

Now that does look a fun road. A steering damper would be handy there.

It's not me but it just seemed so irratic and dodgy I wondered what he was doing?? Lol my front end doesn't lift that easy, any ideas why?

Looks fast because the guy is completely erratic. Apparently doesn't seem to know how to apply the throttle or brake smoothly let alone hit the appex of a corner. Thought he was goon riding at first because it was so erratic but realised that wasn't the case.

I do not get the need for some to cross over the centerline of the road on every corner (overtaking is the exception of course). That road could be traveled just as fast (substantially faster actually) by staying in one's own lane and riding smoothly. Much safer for all as well.

Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now, just hate seeing this kind of stuff because invariably someone will try to duplicate this style of slamming the throttle and brakes on/off and crossing over the centerline thinking it's cool....must be, it's on you tube

It is one hell of a nice road though.

As said before, they're erratic a fook on both braking and accelerating.

Think they have probably got the damper set low as well, cos I've not got one (fair enough mines a SD 06) but even when giving it the beans, my head don't shake anywhere near as bad (does a little though). Either that or they've got a death grip on the bars!

Yeah I'm with you Lowrance on the corner taking. They do seem to be all over the road.

Got bored watching at 4 mins.The road looked awesome,the riding TBH was'nt very good,erratic and running wide on the exits one day he's gonna get tagged (lets hope not) if the road is busy. Looking at the speedo i reckon it's in kmph and not mph,dont think anything is wrong with the bike it's just the way he's riding it and maybe he's not familiar with the road.
Sorry to be so critical but if you rode like that round where i live on narrow twisty B roads you'll more than likely not last the summer out
