It's interesting that now more sample video with different riders is out, you're truly starting to see this bike ridden with different styles - motard vs flat track vs knee down cornering. Looking more and more versatile!

It's hard to watch after seeing Xaus slide it sideways and smoke the tire.
Anti-climactic.
I wanted one after seeing Xaus. Now I'm not as excited.

If you want a bike that will make you look like one of the best riders in the world, you gotta get a 999R.

Or maybe not.

If you are going to buy that bike, you may want to erase from your mind that video of Xaus riding the motard sideways..most of the HM owners will not have the riding ability to ride that bike like that anyway...or spend thousand of dollars in repairs once they lay it down..

no....if you want to ride a bike that will make you look attractive (in comparison), you gotta get a 999 (any flavor).

No doubt. That style of riding is really appealing, but I don't want to learn it on that bike. Maybe get a 400cc dirt bike out of the paper cheap, put road tires and good brakes on it, and learn with that. If I crash it, who cares.
Maybe by then there'll be some used HMs on the market.

I couldn't really tell (wasn't looking closely), was Xaus smoking the tire on the brakes, or the gas (or both- first brakes to get it sliding, then hard gas to keep it going)?
I watched the supermoto racing at the Fontana AMA race and it seemed that the good guys were doing both.

Nove, can you post pics of your triple9? From the list of mods looks like it's a fantastic looking bike.
