Look out for that edge!

Pretty fun ride. It's interesting to see guys carry momentum through some turns. Always assumed I needed to accelerate through all turns, and feel kind of spooked when I'm in a turn too fast and not able to get on the throttle. I do see it here and there however that good riders will not get on the gas at all in some turns and just wait for the exit.

Anyway, thought it was a fun video that some might enjoy too.

Nice video.....too bad you can't get a good idea of what his speedo is saying!

Just in case anyone wants to know he averaged 73mph (117kph) with a top speed of 144mph (232kph).

I think some of what you saw with the throttle is that he's on a dual sport. I'm sure the Multistrata is a fine motorcycle but it's far from a race bike. Very impressive riding though! Way faster than I could ride it with my FZ! :spank:

:thumbup:
I've heard the Multistrata is a pretty amazing bike. That it's super fast, that the suspension is amazing, and that it is "faster then anything else out there on real roads."

That is a tall order indeed, but I do suspect that it is a pretty hot bike.

Tune into this one at 1:00 to 2:20 if you are interested in some commentary on it,

Cool vid, thanks. I used to go up Pike's Peak as a kid to see my Aunt who had a cabin up there. Good memories.
