New bike/tyres crash
 
Amazing this, new gsxr1000 with new tyres, just goes to show how slippery new tyres are. Good warning video for those who dont believe or car lol

Bet he was gutted.

He's not really done anything stupid there has he? It's not like he's fully cracked open the throttle even, the revs rise so slowly once the tyre has broken loose.

There must be something slippery on the road, or it's just a crappy surface. Otherwise we'd be seeing sports bike riders on the deck like confetti within a 100 yard radius of tyre fitters :)

I'm sorry but I think it is really funny.
I know it is wrong to feel like that, but it just is..

Defo didnt do anything wrong, he must have just acquired a particularly slippy set of tyres, or the idiots in the shop could have put some tyre shine on so it looked nice in the showroom i suppose.

Weaving? Funny? From? :)

Bit harsh to say he did something wrong. He's only turning to follow the car. I turn more sharply than that at every single junction. If that's enough to spit you off on new tyres I'd have to get off and push it around corners :)

I agree, he was being gentle. I think someone was on that bit of road too
