Good stuff.

I'll be the first to admit it here...my wheelies were never as good as his and I was never able to drift my 750 even when I was eighteen.  ;D

I wonder how many of the electric gizmos he's using. The bike has gyroscopes that can provide accurate stoppie control with zero skill required.

   From what I understand it's supposed to kill "stoppies" and wheelies - the sensors compare the wheels speeds and if the front slows way more than the rear the electronic nanny's get to work.  But I think that's with all the traction aids turned on.  There's a special plug  accessed underneath the seat that when plugged in, accesses Race mode that either turns everything off or gives you the option to, not sure.  Why you'd want to do that on a 200hp bike is beyond me.  Oh yeah now I remember, insane stunts.

I've never even had the nuts to ride my bike up the tailgate ramp.

Did it with the snow mobile, but even then I did have to replace a rear window once ;D
