Old FastBikes Video - VTR vs TL vs 916

FastBikes was a magaezine in the UK and the there were a few videos too. They would generally take some bikes over to "mainland" Europe and give them a good ragging as they are a bit more tolerant over there.

Most of them where race riders and Shane Byrne is still on top of the British Super bike season.

Anyway they were completely mental

Mental doesn't really begin to describe it. I had a hard time watching it as I was terrified the whole time. The out come was inevitable. I putting my SH up for sale tomorrow. I just can't ride a bike that will crash out so easy.
Now, if that was in the US every one involved would have gone to jail, there would have been helicopters, armored vehicles, and two thousand LEOs with stun grenades and tear gas, and sadly, if anyone of the riders was other than white they would have been shot on sight.

I think the superhawk / firestorm has plenty of good handling and ground clearance for sane people..

Better than the TL1000r that cant get the front end in at all
