Just strap the clubs to your cb and have a whack at it.

Hmm. IF production-based, I'm surprised that they did not include a Ducati Superleggera, the last Ducati Superleggera or the Demosidicci RR.  All cutting edge, limited edition and pricey.

The new XSR900 is even better, they fixed the fueling problems... 8)

Toward the end when the panned out to slow mo him taking that corner, I couldn't help but notice how twisted up the guy looked in the saddle. 
Now i have the coice of the "twist of the wrist" narrator in my head going over body positioning technique.
Not that i'm perfect at it either.  It's really hard to utilize excellent technique at all times

The Yamaha triple is not an extreme bike, but a very good value.  115 bhp and 67 ft/lbs in a 414 lb wet package.

As for extreme, that's why I mentioned the new Ducati Superleggera.  Faster than the Ducati Desmosidicci RR, exotic materials (lots of magnesium, carbon fiber and Ti) and amazing electronics.  At $80K, it's definitely exclusive.
