Wow, those Japanese motorcycle-license tests are really difficult!

Re: Japanese CBR600RR rider with skill
I wonder which bike is the quickest through that coarse? I need a place to practice that type riding. Certainly some transferable skills into the street. You would be hard to catch in a parking lot!

Re: Japanese CBR600RR rider with skill

Being able to ride like that would definitely be helpful when moving my bikes around the garage.

Re: Japanese CBR600RR rider with skill
It's got a handlebar mod for better control, I assume, but wonder about the gearing. That looks like a good size rear sprocket.

Actually, I found my 1150 GS to be one of the easiest bikes to maneuver at low speeds because it is so well balanced. With its low torque and wide bars it might do better at that stuff than you think

Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Re: Japanese CBR600RR rider with skill
So, do you consider this to be low speed maneuvering?

Re: Japanese CBR600RR rider with skill
Is this:
the same video on youtube? I can't get to the link.

If it is, as I suspect, then he's got some skill.

Yes. I doubt he ever got much over 25-30mph in that video. It involves heavy acceleration, but not high speeds. I have seen a lot of vids like this where the riders are on the ZRX-1100/1200s, which work well because of their upright seating, wide bars, and massive low end torque.
