1st bike is a Yamaha R6 with track plastics and LEDs. The rider is Mad Max, his youtube channel is - / madmaxmotorworks The road is Mulholland Hwy in Malibu, CA
I would be a happy man if i could ride around there all day, and from time to time stop to enjoy seeing the other bikers riding around and having fun. The good life.
@harper449939 From wikipedia. The crossplane or cross-plane is a crankshaft design for V8 engines with a 90° angle between the cylinder banks. & Inline-4 engines can also use the crossplane concept. The 2009 Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycle uses the crossplane crankshaft and utilises a specially designed balancer to counteract the unusual vibration found in this type of crank when not used in conjunction with a V8 engine.
Even a Ducati sport 1000! Rare to see:) but the bike i asked for earlier, i just adore it more and more its just an astonnishing looking thing, i ride a 1098 tricolore myself which is awesome but im currious about that bike ive never seen it before..
@bassgypsy00 Its a cross-plane R1, 09 and newer have the cross plane (correct me if I'm wrong) crank shaft system which gives the different sound. A badass sound :)
@karaness226 This section of road used to be 15 or 20mph, but last year local government changed it to 45mph. Not only did it reduced speeding tickets, but also allows riders to still put a knee down in many of the corners without exceeding 45mph.
4:13 Race body on that bike? Atleast most are wearing gear but I wonder why only a few have frame and swingarm sliders. Ive skid my bike a couple times it just happens but having sliders saves alot of damage.
Where are the older bikes? I remember a CBX showed up here a few months ago and generated quite a bit of positive chatter. Where are the old GS/GSXR, KZ/GPz, CB etc. series rides? I know these bikes are 'out there.' Is the Mulholland 'scene' largely limited to the younger crowd, who are probably more likely to have a newer bike?
@roalme00 A good method would be to lean your upper body into the turn keeping the front end upright for a few more meters before you commit to the turn. Mid turn you want to turn tighter...lean in more. Upon exit you do the same thing to apply weight to frontend fighting the forces pushing you and the bike to the outside while on the throttle. Doing all of the above without your lower body off and to the side has no effect damn near.
Max? ...It appears you are trail-braking 2/3rd's to at least halfway into the corner and then only get on the throttle just as it tightens up again to what feels like a second apex or are you applying some maintenance throttle during any part of your entry?
@jezz155 thank recognised it later, there's not much around(and i'm italian) but the sound rocks with original slip-ons. custom slip-ons on Tuono = eargasm
@Adeysworld again I am trying to broaden the horizon by having a glimpse into different school of thoughts. I have attended advanced coaching at Cali Superbike School thrice in the last 3 years and do trackdays myself. There are plenty of guys who are faster than me and plenty who are slower. The point is even the ones who are faster are sometimes followers of different school of thoughts and I wanna have every possible tool in my toolbox of riding when whipping the bike towards a corner.
@roalme00 He's not reducing his lean angle at all. He's at max lean in every turn. Him leaning his upper body only slightly helps him negotiate his turns. Keep in mind the upper half of our body plays only a small role in weight transfer. It's the lower half that makes all the difference.
