That car/bike contest exactly demonstrates my disdain for the modern balloon tire corner cripples that have to brake so much for turns and don't brake as well as a car, pashaw. Bee line sprints didn't save the bike this time either.
The ad bike looks look an inline four done in motorcycle cafe attire.

Not Norton Related but could be fun for playing around on my two acres without annoying the neighbors. Question remains, how much torque can this generate? Much cleaner than batteries, almost no recharge time.

WOW! That exactly what I want to do with Ms Peel and working on a bit of practice on Trixie doing the parking lot circles and peg dragging too slow on hwy tights. Notice his sharpest turns are done with straight steering flip of forks and he never lets the rear stop spinning till straightening up. Appreciate seeing similar two legs in air after a bit of a 'unexpected' get off, for good reason with the gal right there drawomg blood out of the head on shoulders. Will be studying it closer to see why he don't trust his ride enough to leave the ground while hooking up sharper faster.
I think a Commando should be able to do all that except a stoppie as sits too low to lift rear more than an inch, so mostly just stops shorter than these moderns can.

Yes sir I had been looking and looking for an autocross parking lot cone of someone drifting it like this fella. Only thing I could find prior was open parking lot drifters and supermotards mostly using rear brake to swing rear around not by accelerating power spins. What I still ain't seen is cutting the power to let bike jerk back up fast or even off the surface by the hi side on purpose. On Ms Peel I worked up to tripping her down with power then a short sharp cut to hi side her back up which both stopped the side off road edge but also jerked front up and around 90s to travel to land aimed for next fling w/o pilot effort. Its like a sail boat tack when the boom snaps across the deck. I'm got a lot of practice to get as handy going slow and of course add horizontal down low crash bars. THE Gravel forced me into some of this but its so loose it don't stop sliding when power or brakes or fork applied so can't work up very fast or furious in its tights like ya can a parking lot or road chicane. All these slow speed stunters install a huge rear sprocket to break loose easy or lift up easy, Ms Peel will have that option too. You can get a taste of it in a parking lot just leaning more and more and more till it scraps then hold that to see how stable fun it is for more fun and confidence in choice twisties. Once ya feel how stable hooked up its just a wrist twist to start the squirrely rear swing around but must stay on it or SPLAT.

It was deleted from the Commando section because the same "Norton" video clips tend to get posted over and over again-so I delete them if they appear too often, and that particular clip was only posted here (again) just a few weeks ago.
