I haven't seen that clip in years, and that's still impressive riding.
Ducatis need not apply...

I take it that the mini-interceptor is unobtainium in the US?

holy crap...imagine how many Gymkhana cyclists have done a flying nun in leather impression over the handlebars from the speed wobbles that came from ripping into WOT out of a 360* cone

Wow, you guys really don't value your children and organs much. Here is a 1985 VFR400 for $3k with a nice Rothmans paint job.

they also have a 1975 Honda CB 400 F Super Sport that looks nice for the same amount.

Nice video and nice course. But I've watched motorcycles attempt to run at some autocrosses and gymkhanas, and the results aren't nearly as pretty as that.
Invariably, the riders are nowhere near as good as they think they are, so they over extend themselves and crash. Then they whine fuss and bleed.

I could only imagine how many crashes there would be, and how much whining! I've been riding for a while, but I would never attempt that. Drag racing yes... this, not so much.
