Ducati 1098r modified to 1098rs Superbike Specs - FGR900fork, TTXr 46 rear, Brenbo Calipers, race electronics, Magnesium wheels, AllTitanium nuts & bolts .
From the rider " this is a 1198RS when I ride it on the street I put thestreet side and upper fairings for the lights and the front wheel I run on thestreet has stock rotors because they don’t bite as hard as Superbike ones"“and yes just about every nut and bolt is in Ti as are theaxel,handlebars,etc and the bike weight”
guys puts 140k into a bike :w00t: but should have spent it on learning how to corner
He wasn’t even turning when he went down… look at the black line he lays down… body was positioned but then he forgot to actually turn the damm handle bars! MUPPET!
what is it with these guys and that bend seem loads of clips with riders lowsiding there bikes…Could it be the only bend they have come across (possible being across the pond) ???
Mulholland drive is through the mountains in southern California so its a very dry & dusty place, mix that with poor riding & you get plenty of funny youtube clips
I thought that too…all that money losing weight off the bike, should have spent some of it on a treadmill.
Still…we shouldn’t really knock the guy for splashing cash on his bike, if I could afford it I’d probably do the same too. However the crash seemed really bizarre.
'cause the 1098R was a bit tame for the road to start with:doze:
thats a front lock up - he’s crossed up to start with before he target locks, and forces it down. you can see from his helmet he can’t possibly be looking thru the corner.
