I saw this a few days back and some guy was 100% certain that it was real footage and it genuinely happened. He even stated he had been working with bikes for twenty years.

But i am sorry, there is no way that is genuine footage. What does everyone think???

Don't think its CGI, maybe a well rehearsed stunt?

It's clever;

How did he fall of the bike coming out the corner without the bike going down? - he kind of leaps of the back.

How come the bike straightens itself up? Every other riderless m/c I've seen the oscillations increase, not settle down.

Amusing anyway...

Its clever, but I doubt it is for real ... I think the bike/chassis is actually cleverly linked to either a 3-wheel front bit or even a car/truck.

Lets say that was a 2nd gear corner ... a what R1? doing what 2k RPM? ... that has to be 20 odd MPH .... So to catch it he has to be running at say 25mph ... ... ... ... unlikely in full leathers!!

Nice clip though

And why would the camera be pointing back like that? and he fall completely off the back? surly on a bend a high side or a low side is more likely?
