1290 Super Adventure R having some fun ..

Eunuch · Oct 15, 2017

This guy is having a whole bunch of fun on an R.

Perhaps not quite following ROSPA guidelines :rob

, but it showcases what the 1290 is capable of in 'good' hands.

Doesn't start getting real twisty until 4.30/5mins.

I think I've ridden that rode though the darkies I left on some of those corners must have been worn away

He's living on borrowed time me thinks!

DC · Oct 16, 2017

Wonder if he is still alive "......

shay · Oct 16, 2017

reminds me of the Fast Bike videos that were shot on those roads ... Shakey, Rob Frost, etc...

Rasher · Oct 16, 2017

I wonder where he got one of them gyroscopic camera's that always remains vertical, either that or he hangs off the wrong side of the bike in corners.

TBH I have seen much worse riding

Made me smile when his mirror came loose, same thing happened to me on a fairly fast ride, quite distracting!

made good progress I thought, impressed with helmet cam...

He’s a fucking twat! Doing 80-90mph on a single carriageway road while overtaking way to close to other vehicles and to top it all off on a solid line.

Like the music, it suits the video and damn that bike is responsive to throttle inputs

Sounds like my average commute to work :nenau

Then again every other vehicle insists on sitting 2 inches off my number plate and I have no option but to be too close, white lines mean bugger all to me when the flow of traffic is 5 mph (and the bastards leave little room down the middle so close overtakes are the only option) and I cannot see anything wrong with 80 mph on single carriageway roads, if all drivers could drive to a reasonable standard this could safely be the national speed limit.

This fella is however going far more crazy than I would now, and possibly more crazy than I ever was, even as an Elsie riding Yoof.

I enjoyed that

Skid06 · Oct 16, 2017

i thought he was a bit slow a bit wooden

Daffy · Oct 16, 2017

Mmm, i’m Not sure but something doesn’t look right about that video, it might be me but on a couple of occasions he looked like he was doing warp speed but his speedo didn’t seem to be registering anything like what i expected.

Nice quote there sounds like something I could use "Well officer, it might of looked like Warp Speed....."

Speedo was in km per hour !

That’s what I mean, I don’t think he got to 160kmh (100mph) and even when he was doing 65kmh about 35mph in town he looked like he was going very fast.

1157 · Oct 16, 2017

Fair play to him ,it looks fast through camera footage but the fastest he went at one point was176kph =109mph so he's enjoying his bike ,why conserve fuel n tyres when there's fun to be had , not brave or stupid just spirited riding &#55357;&#56397;

Those French drivers are far more alert to motorcyclists than drivers in the UK. I know that some didn't have much of an option, but there seemed to be plenty that moved over when he was zooming in on them.
Mind you,overtaking @152kph in between cars in both lanes was foolhardy. Even if he had a death wish, what about the unsuspecting car occupants?

Looks like the video is sped up

Trekker3 · Oct 22, 2017

Looks well ridden to me, I would have expected a few more front wheel lifts though, bit disappointing for a 1290, maybe they aren't quite as lairy as the 1190 &#55357;&#56841;
