Oh and I agree with Azoomm, Teach is a great rider and a somewhat "positive" roll model for stunters. BTW the loading and off-loading of the bike is his signature video style. He always does that.:idk:
I don't know many people, other than him, that RIDE the bike up the ramp into the back of a truck. And, I can assure you, I've been to plenty of trackdays where loading takes place.

I agree that the music can go - but, it's par for their industry. :lol: Baby steps, kids, baby steps.

Stunting hasn't ever been my thing. I can respect the control it takes to get REALLY good at it - but, I just haven't "gotten it" before last year. Working with both Teach and Christian with BMW has been extremely enlightening.

As long as I know the ramp is at a low enough angle so I have no issues, I ride mine up. :idk:

The ramp he rides up isn't low - it's a parking lot into a normal truck. You do that? :skep:

8 foot ramp into the back of a 1/2 ton pickup. yes.

6 foot ramp into the back of a 1/2 ton pickup, no.

Riding up the ramp and dyno readouts are all nice and all, but last I checked these bikes are suppose to be "superbikes". Soon enough we'll see how they fare in WSBK again. Maybe BMW can come up with another excuse for finishing near last.

I'm sure that the excuses will be similar to why the "Best Bike in the World" CBR1000RR can't do shit in any race series or why the supposedly spectacular MV Agusta F1000 isn't competitive. Apparently, it isn't always the best bike that wins the races/championship... :idk:

in this country maybe. when rea stayed on his bike he was a force to be reckoned with last year. so was haslam to a lesser extent, and in bsb the hydrex and hm plant guys were always up front albeit behind the airwaves crew. need i mention IOM?

Not sure why BMW is sponsoring a stunter, as that's not the target market for this bike. Plus they'll already sell every one of them for full list price anyway, so they don't need extra publicity.
