Yep, lucky he didn't highside, usually to much throttle will throw your *** over the bars. Anyone know what kind of bike it is? I know the first post says "honda", but which model?

he definitely gassed it on the exit, i've never seen a bike lose the rear wheel that quick. was he too far leaned over? cold tires? something with the road surface that made him lose grip?

edit - i guess thats not a lowside since the front didnt tuck, the rear end just kicked out so far it never highsided.

Actually, I don't think it's a Honda at all. The front brake reservoir looks like that of a Suzuki or Yamaha.

Def not a superchicken, it's an inline fo sho. I don't think F3's had hydraulic clutches did they? Where is Marm at?

Lost the rear end real quick!

Look ahead at the road when he just gets into the turn, could be shadow but kinda looks like oil right in the center of the road.

That or cold tires - Turn 1 usually gets the cold tire guys

It's not an F4 or F4i or an RR either.

Doesn't sound like an interceptor/vfr either. It's got the whine of an I4.

There is a black streak in the center his lane, right before he crashes though.

Ok I stand corrected. The gauge cluster looks like that of a Honda CBR1000.

Looks like a strip of rubber from someone locking up the brakes/burning out. Lost the rear end real fast. He was too far over for anything OTHER than a lowside to happen. Or is at least lucky thats all that happened.

Sounded like he was draggin a knee in the turns and looked like full suit. My guess is something in the road he lost it way to quick. The rpms shot up.

he was really low on an old country road and got on the throttle a little too early. road was probably dusty and he probably had cold tires guess from how quickly it let go

Yeah, right before he goes down, you see an oncoming vehicle in the lane to his left. So probably America. Who knows, maybe that spooked him, he turned in too hard and lost the rear that way? Oh well, sucks either way.

You sure. I was trying to figure that out but that seemed super reckless to be doing all on the left lane. Could've been someone ahead of him cut the corner and that's what we saw...
