WTF!! Ithought the pig wasn't supposed to have the agility or acceleration of a modern 600! Someone tell this guy before he gets hurt!

Seriously though, I'm sure its down to relative rider skill, but it sure looks like he's having a good time on his rc, eh? Thunderhill raceway, northern Cali, I think.

a set of rims and aggressive geometry will have the rc turning in like a 600 no problem... mine as it's set up right now turns in quicker than a stock 600rr.

Have to agree with Wibbly on this one.... the pig can turn given the correct suspension front and rear.... with a lil' help from wheels/discs etc...

P.S I think someone should tell him his fork seal looks like it's leaking......

Love T-Hill great track, although the RC is not on par with these new bikes these days like everyone said the RC is a great bike if tuned correctly.

Well you see everyone else on the track sucked worse then the guy on the RC51 and he paid everyone else to make him look good and if he was on a CBR1000RR he would have been 10 times faster.

Well I am not quite sure what spectacular or out of the ordinary cinematography I was suppose to see that would need explaining...

What I saw was a bunch of guys out riding in what looked to be maybe an Intermediate group with really crappy body positioning & plenty of mid-corner line corrections... I also noticed at about 4:53 the RC runs wide & off the track

um ... too bad it couldn't have just have the sound of the motorcycles.

Doppler, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

P.S. The important thing to remember is that everyone that rides a recent
600 is putting down faster lap times than Nicky Hayden and Colin Edwards
ever did on the RC51. Or so I understand from reading here.

Ok cool, I was starting to think I was the only one who missed the impressive part...
