Thanks! It is actually rented from Honda Safety Driving Center school. Wanted to scratch the itch for an inline 4 bike and it’s cheaper (and wife approved) than buying. My main bike is a more practical (for me) Versys 650. I availed of the gymkhana course from the school and just having fun in a safe manner. I’m still amateur level for these stuff but it is still very fun to do and a practical excuse for training since it directly translates to street riding.
Thanks for the comment, not really measured just approximated to GP8 dimensions (no start/end box even). It was really an eye opener for me how much the others work at approaching 30sec. The instructor timed me at about 50sec if I remember correctly.
Great to see another Versys 650 rider doing gymkhana on what most would find a big heavy bike. My Gen1 currently has a pair of Michelin Anakee Wild's on it so ive had to resort to using my partners GSX-R600. I also have an Insta360 One X2, and like your PiP style of video, have you ever thought about moving the camera to the right to show the actuation of the brake pedal also. This may help people understand the specific actions you are making.
Thanks for your comment TechNZ. I’m using Shinko Ravens (because I’m cheap) and also we have very hot weather here where the performance of more expensive tires being more consistent across temperatures are less of an advantage. The PiP are a stock feature of the Insta360 app and I like it too as it provides feedback on my head and shoulder positioning. Good suggestion on moving it to the right for more visibility on the brake and throttle since I think those are the areas I really need to improve to get faster. Recovering and waiting for my handlebar replacement from a crash last March 1. I will try your suggestions when I can book some time back on the Honda school for more practice.
Aside from basic memorization, a walk through greatly helps in setting up visual cues. The course is also divided into parts that gives it a certain flow in how to get to the next segment. It definitely can become confusing and my first run was more than 10 seconds slower.
