Yeah he was riding non to shabby, he knew the circuit and road like a demon, when you think about the boys who race they average only only about 12-15 MPH slower that that rider was doing at his fastest.  :eek 


(Michael Dunlop on a BMW S1000RR in 2016, His lap record 133.393 MPH , complete circuit done in 16:53.929 minutes = 37.73 miles )

Someone else posted that vid on here a while ago, but it was well worth another watch :thumbup

The bloke 2-up and with a top box isn't exactly hanging about either :eek

I thought that about the 2 up rider but couldn't see what he was on, I also like the fact the fazer saw off a few sports bikes that were Giving it some  :D

Agree. Impressive.

I didn't notice that on first viewing. Just watched again.

That Fazer sounds great howling at high revs :evil
