I have seen this video before but it was interesting to watch it again after stuffing my head with all the MSF/ David Hough information. Now, (bearing in mind I have still to ride the streets and therefore my opinion is worth precisely nothing), it appears to me both riders looked terrible. It looks like the Ninja is not hitting any apexes (never mind delayed apexes). It looks like it follows the inside of the corner all the way round. This might be the camera angle giving a false impression but I don’t think so.
Also, dirtbike riders may stick their feet out but they also slide the back wheel around corners. If sticking your foot out was a good technique why have I never seen V. Rossi doing it?
Just my $0.00
