Nice use of the rear brake from the cameraman eh! :lol:

Got to say, fast riding but most of the time it seemed relatively ok on the safe side. I imagine they did actually look round the corners where the camera can't see and judged that it was safe. Still....wouldn't catch me riding like that! :lol:

Oh and just how much faster was the gsxr rider? Duke was a bit slow. :lol:

They are quick and very confident. The back and front wheel on the breaks are moving all over the place. Whilst fast I go with the vis being pretty good with left handers. But they did get caught on a right hander between cars one time.

What was wrong with it? Not very neat 'backing in' a couple of times, other than that nice confident use of the throttle, and while it's easy to say that the visibility wasn't good the position of the camera accentuates that feeling, so it may have been OK. Quick though.

I thought he was ragged and choppy with the throttle, no?

Looks like the "South goes North" ride out to me, but with better weather :lol:

how many of you could have your tires break away like that, that many times and just keep it going?

i think there is alot of skill in doing that and keeping it up!

A little bit ragged but mostly just showing off for the camera. Speedo is km/h so not crazy fast either. Faster than I'd go on my SV for sure but on a sorted gixer? Who knows?

At 4.12 there's an overtake on a blind right hander into the path of a truck :shock:

Of course there are some dodgy manoovers but overall it's safe, really exciting.

I wish I could ride like that :D

He can mess up gear changes majorly into corners without the bike complaining too much.

Ok a fair degree of showboating going on but all in all very competant riding there. The guys obviously know that road very,very well and had the lines all sorted. Yes one or two questionable over takes but we do not have the exact riders view before he made those moves.

Riding at about the pace of our Saturday morning bimbles up through the mountains tbh,(although they showed a little more restraint with the "go" grip than we do when the straight bits present themselves :oops: ). I enjoyed the video. 8)

THe overtake that Ed mentioned made me wince too.
Cracking road though, and bear in mind some of the roads surfaces in Greece are less than grippy.

May I take this opportunity to say that I COME FROM THAT SAME PLACE WHERE THESE GUYS RIDE

IT IS IN GREECE and the guys that are riding do track raicing full time

I for one CANT ride like that! I never try to get my bike over like that and no way could i keep up with em. Only time i would catch em is if they did get hit but oncoming
