Seen it before on the Fireblade forum I use, have to say the rider has some skills. Considerably more than I have anyway

The production and camera work is fantastic. The RC car and camera quite funny.

Well, drifting, ahem, still leave that to the people who can't race

I enjoyed watching that. Not easy to do, especially on a bike. I suppose the swinging arm was extending to reduce the tendency of the 'bike to spin. I never tried that on my ZX12R!

I'm not a biker but I reckon a longer swinging arm would make the bike more stable and a bit slower to react, making it easier to catch 'high sides' rather than 'spins'.

I think you are right and that is what I meant in my post.

brilliant vid...thanks for posting it. both guys were excellent...that extended swingarm was clearly needed, not once did i see the bike "snap" back into line, very very smooth.
