"good" is a matter of opinion...its a 90's bike...styling is purely up to you, but its a nice bike, dont make it look like some wannabe-toad-looking-need-for-speed-ricer-pile-of-crap...

Bit confused by this :smt017 What do you mean 'does anyone else do this?' Everyone rides like this don't they? This is how I ride every day through town. I didn't 'get into it', it's just how I ride naturally, never really thought about it. I passed my test riding like this and the examiner never questioned it.

Your point is?

With those high rise bars, the bike looks more like a CBR125 lol that is some crazy control though, there really are some unbelievably talented riders out there!

dont really get where you are missing the point unless i worded it wrong if thats the case sorry for that what i was trying too get at is ....is what that guy is doing a sport ? like racing on a track ,motorcross etc and please mate if you ride like that guy does and do the turns like he does etc then please show me im not calling you out just couldnt get to grip with how he handled the bike and turned so tight without coming off i know theres many of very skilled riders out there that do. do this but i wanted to find how what made them try it in a ''coned'' section like the one seen in the video

It's gymkhana - big in Japan and I've seen a few vids of competitions over here for Police forces etc. Usually you see Police-type bikes doing it.

Very interesting to see he's NOT countersteering. It shows you how far you can lean the buggers over at low speed, though!
Who needs tyres when you've got knees!! :twisted:
