Yep, he's a complete t055er. But it is amazing that the Kawa handles over a minute at WFO throttle, bouncing off the limiter the whole time without breaking.

Stunting has rubbed me up the wrong way. I've ridden with guys who can wheelie like legends *and* lap quickly, and they don't have to trash their bikes.

It proved to be a perversley interesting thing to watch, but he only did it for his own ego and 'show' rather than an experiment stand point.

It lasted surprisingly long after it dropped the fluid. I still don't think there's anything wrong with riding, properly warmed up, modern japanese bikes hard.
Less convinced about American engines

Not going to lie that video wound me up something rotten. Pointless destruction for the sake of it he could have given that bike to someone who needed it tosser.
