You ever see how people treat GSX-R's? Bouncing off the rev limiter on one wheel. Stunting them to their absolute limits. It's actually shocking that they tolerate this abuse, but they do. 450 lbs smashing down on the front wheel repetitively. It's amazing that a street bike tolerates this...but...
He's actually done some good stuff of late. Taking a mental (altho skilled) street rider off the street and putting him on the track:

You pulled the engine yet to check the valves?
This guy has the right idea. Tired of fixing the broken SXV he tore the engine out of it and replaced it with a Kawasaki ER6N engine. Now doesn't that just say it all?

Chat Groups / Forums, not only YouTube. All are a great way to keep you out of a poor purchasing decision. Learn from other's pain instead of experiencing the stress first hand. Certain brands have a reputation for breaking, Ducati, MV Agusta...even Aprilia and not giving a F when your purchase...
Snowcat's second bike is off the showroom floor bone stock. You see him picking it up at the dealership...then off to California he went where it ended up in a dealership in Beverly Hills.
The Indian fighter pilot bike is bone stock bike. Same Snowcat story.
The new 950 I posted is a bone...
How would Snowcat fry his ECU's or be responsible for frying his ECU? He was literally a turn key and go guy back then...he did nothing to the bike, no mods. Here he is fresh after picking up his second one after Ducati bought back the first one after spending $20,000 on warranty on the first...
The pit probably catapulted him over the bars superman style....the bike stayed still, he didn't. The supermoto is tall, so none of him probably hit the concrete.
I once saw a photoshop mocking England... "caution, sign ahead." They have so many signs. They are told what to do even moreso than...
Was always the Gixxer...they're a luxury item now at $25,000 out the door. Another end of another era. Looks like the squids are on MT's now or got out of the sport altogether.

Ever ride through a tree shadow / sun situation where it's flickering from one extreme to the other very quickly? Certainly tests the rods and cones in your eyes.
I think he literally focused on the tree shadow here compounded by dark goggles he fixated and rode straight into the dark.
I've...
Low mileage Hypermotard. Perfect example of stay the F away. It's likely been in the shop most of its life. Get the VIN and call a Ducati dealer and ask for it's warranty claim / service history.

Do your homework on the Hypermotard / Hyperstrada. Search YT for "Ducati Hypermotard problems". They have yet to sort this bike out since the Snowcat days. They gave him a new one and bought back the second and made him sign an NDA so he can't talk about them any further. $30,000 was spent on...
Ural alternative? It certainly has character!
