Due to the few slow-speed handling topics that have arisen lately...

This is how you're supposed to do it...

That's some crazy stuff....Wish I had that amount of control right now (then again...not surprising that I don't after only like 2 weeks lol)

Very nice find Mak!

Nary scoots his butt off the seat. Good form. His arms are loose. He keeps his head down, though, but it's where he's looking is what counts.

It looks like a GS, and sounds like one.  But there's no way a GS can handle that good.

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that it's an RC31.

But there's no way a GS can handle that good.

I assure you, it can.

Looks like "autocross" for motorcycles. Call it...."motocross"?, nah, that's been taken. I could do that, except.......I'd lose my way among all the pylons, gates and itty-bitty turns. Then in an effort to correct on missing a turn..........

That's Crazy! Gotta get practicing...

that's awesome, and good catch scratch with the head direction. looking the direction you're going seriously is the #1 thing that helps my slow speed manuvering.

bump...

This got brought up in conversation elsewhere so I thought I'd bump it.  Only good can come from watching this video.

Wow that is why I got this bike and not a cruser. I am so going to be that good. with-in a year's time. This summer I am going to become awsomeo! <-- my declaration.

Oh, would a GS need anything to do that? Maybe progressive springs up front? Anything else?

[makenzie71]

The GS can do that out of the box.  It's actually a lighter bike with skinnier tires...it'll be eager to do better out of the box.

In fact that bike is Honda VFR400r nc21 and it's kind of similar in specs to a GS:
Specs at a glance: Max. H.P.: 59 HP @12,500rpm Torque: 4.0kg-m / 10,000rpm  Dry weight: 158kg Front wheel:100/90R-16  Rear wheel: 140/70R-18
Very nicely done needless to say.GS will be up to the task as well i think
P.S. practice on good asphalt

anyone remember this video??

I wanted to show it to a friend but it looks like it's been taken down. Anyone know of anywhere else to find it.

it's a video a guy riding a bike around what seems like an autocross type course. Super tight turns around cones, weaves, peg draging and the like. I'd love to see this again to show a friend...and because i'm currently a parking lot warrior trying to practice and get comfortable on the bike before hitting the streets.

anyway, if you've got it or know where it is, link it up.
