That pic is good incentive to buy a one piece suit.
That bike is laid down and sliding. The camera is mounted on the handlebars or maybe far up on the tank. As to if it is his or not, couldn't tell you. Nor am I sure that is real. Let's explore...
83mph at 6,500 rpm? Nope. Not on a 6R. Maybe it's euro and it's in kph. 83kph is about 51mph. There's a few gears he could be in, in that situation. I can actually envision that:
Going through a medium-speed turn, something happened and he lost traction. The bike drops throws him off low and he slides. The bike slows due to friction and he is sliding in front of it. Camera captures it.
Still not sure if real or fake, but I can see it being real. I'll probably never be sure, but I can give the shot the benefit of the doubt.
The shot just looks so fake, though. The non-standard windscreen, the way the rider is poised and in focus, and et nausea.
Well then. I'll say this: It's a darn good-looking shot, fake or real. If it is real, then it looks like an easy down for the rider, if not the bike. If it's fake, then it's pretty well done. Kudo's either way.
I assumed it was KM too but i didnt really look at the tach. At 51 mph if no one was on the bike wouldnt the rpms be a lot lower?
Depends on what gear you are in and wether or not you are running stock sprockets
That's a very valid point. I didn't think of that. Ya'll help me out, but if the bike is down, there should be neither speed nor tach registering. They would be zero, unless it was the moment the bike went down.
If that shot was the moment the rider left the bike, he would have to have been thrown hard to be so far away. Or maybe he was going a lot faster, and that's just where things had settled down to, at the time of the shot. I can actually see that.
It's hard to tell from a picture. Maybe it's at the instant he's hitting the ground after being thrown hard, and what we don't see is everything getting really nasty in the next second or so. Or it helps prove that it's a fake.
That sort of throws a whole new twist on things. Where's Sherlock Holmes when we need him?
Chive on brother!!! Im suprised I didnt catch that lol. Good spot
