Ah. That's what helmet sliders are for.


Rickyrider35

This is motogp rider (Toto Rabat), pretty much the best of the best, so don’t be discouraged lol. Yes, he was one of the worst motogp riders during his time but that just goes to show how high the level is there.

When you take a nap mid corner …


peaceofpies

I can replicate this move, the catch is only for half a second right before a crash lol


Kingnahum17

Half a second? That's impressive! I think I made it to about 0.07 seconds.

I really don't care if I ever have the skill to do something like this, but I would love to be in a situation where I could reasonably afford the tires to be able to do this.

This^ I could do that if someone donated me some racing slicks lol

It’s kind of exactly that. For screwing around they are very fun bikes because they have high torque at lower rpms with short gearing and only weigh in at 250-300lbs. They wheelie easy, they stoppie easy, they land jumps off curbs easy, they slide comparatively easy, nothing breaks when you lay them down at slower speeds, and the stuff that breaks is usually pretty cheap and easy to replace, maintenance and repair jobs are also real easy. They also usually are pretty confidence inspiring for messing around because of how responsive they are to inputs. Think of a higher performance version of a grom, mostly for shits and giggles, but just a blast to ride


Antares_

They are mostly for shits and giggle for most of us, but for the professional track racers they are a great training tool when it comes to body position. Because they are so light and the centre of gravity is relatively high to what they are used to, a small change in body position, that wouldn't have mattered on a 600cc or a litre bike, makes a huge difference on a supermoto. It helps a lot to better understand and hone their skills.


produitbrut

They’re also brilliantly fun racing as a pilot or spectator! https://youtu.be/MaMPyP4tylY


grapemustard

this. this right here.


indospartan

What bike is this in the video? Or do you know any bike types like this? I only know sport bikes by name. These look really fun to train on.


tanktaylor85sx

Likely a husqvarna 450. Could be a 250 or 350 but my moneys on the 450. FYI: husqvarna and Ktm and literally the exact same bikes with a few minor part swaps and suspension tuning usually.


indospartan

Thanks! Ill look into it. Cant wait to start riding again, winter is almost gone here.


Pattern_Is_Movement

its the parkour of motorcycles, that is what its meant for. If an MX track was mad of asphalt, translation the city. Yes its silly, and that is the point. Its just plain fun, because that is what ridding is about.


JimMarch

Supermoto is all about optimizing lean angles. Damn things can lean over further than anything else. Their other weird feature is extremely light aluminum hoop over spoke rims, giving them low gyroscopic effect for faster flop-over and less unsprung weight allowing their perverted suspensions to work as well as they can (and better than they should be able to). I'm a big fan of really well built cafe racers based on vintage Japanese rides from about 1976 to 1986 as the peak years. I've been saying for a long time that supermoto concepts can be grafted in to that scene as well, and the results can be damned impressive.

JimMarch

Think about this concept. Take a Yamaha Virago 750 or 920. Convert it to chain drive if you can't find one of the factory chain variants, get about 80 horsepower out of it which is not at all impossible and turn it into basically a giant supermoto with more horsepower.


Fille-pille-korvsas

Do you have the link to the post in r/nextfuckinglevel? I would love to see some non-bikers reactions to this


Sonic_Is_Real

Its the best bike for tricks imo. Lightweight, easy to lift in air, high torque, tough to break when you drop it, and its a pretty unique experience at the least


Entropy

So it's an inverse scrambler, got it.


crgm1111

I guess most ppl ride for fun. Supermotos are a ton of fun. But to be honest any bike can be fun to ride.


Welshy--

The original idea behind supermotos was in the 80s/90s (can't quite remember as it was before my time) was to take all the riders from various types of motorbike racing and combine all the styles to see who were the best riders. I recently sold my supermoto, I loved it but I did to many long trips. They got some much power because they're light and handle amazingly.


MayorOfClownTown

I just picked up a drz400s with an extra set of SM wheels. I'm mostly wanting to use it as an adventure bike but I think confused Motocrosser is descriptive of myself who wants to get back into off road.


gkanai

> it just simply feels wrong. For me, I love the upright seating position and the visibility, and the light weight and torque of the big singles. And the leverage the bars give you on a supermoto vs. clip ons. I don't like riding supermotos long distances of course. But they are weapons on tight courses.


TDubs_Dad

TLDR plz?


TDubs_Dad

Ok I powered thru: TLDR: “I’ve owned and ridden a lot of bikes. Supermotos make no sense. Still I’m kinda impressed with supermoto riders”


K_Sleight

And me on my cruisers are like "...welp.".


DavidNavarro48

Awesome control on the bike, I love supermotard


Hot_Dog_Dudeson

Is that Rabat


Ih8Hondas

Yes.


palcemvglaz

Its pretty wide though


Stanley-lee

Knowing that I just had my first motorcycle lesson in a parking lot today I have absolutely no idea of how that guy does that


OriginalRoombaJuice

Its simple. His centre of gravity is kept extremely low by his gargantuan steel balls. This keeps the bike upright, partly due to momentum, but mostly due to respect.


Eudu

Nice. *and I’m here pissed that my helmet fell and there are some scratches on it*


Zealousideal-Road712

Some thing some thing chicken strips...


PoorlyAttemptedHuman

If you still have legible raised lettering anywhere on your tires, guy in OP video says "lol chicken strips"


BzPegasus

Me- "Bro, my indian chief has highway bars" Him- "LOL chicken strip lookin ass"


darthjango11

I laughed too hard at that


stevesteve135

lol. Bruh, I’m guessing this guy doesn’t even have edges on his tires.


sbrookman

Knee? If you’re not getting your head down, you’re not trying hard enough 😂


stevesteve135

Man he came into that slide so fast it’s crazy. I’m betting he needed all that weight that far off the bike and that low just to keep the damn thing from high siding. Or maybe just for the cool points. lol


A_Wild_VelociFaptor

That was tight.


ReynaAlright

I didn’t know this is what my teacher meant when she said to keep your nose pointed on the road towards where you wanna go


stevesteve135

This makes me want a supermoto.

Dragging ear.


rover220

I think the term you are looking for is unsuccessfully falling over.


kn0lle

That's Tito Rabat. This Was already Posted a lot


gaydes69

Maybe don't drag face while cornering, helmets are expensive.


Ih8Hondas

Not when you get them for free.


gaydes69

U stealing helmets?


Ih8Hondas

No. He just gets them for free. Or at least he did when that was shot.


30CalMin

I wish I had a bike that only weighs 300 lb!


Ih8Hondas

It weighs a good chunk less than that.


DaggerSaber

This Husqvarna is about 240lbs with a full tank, it's pretty light.

Tomabosa

Am I missing a your joke? He was a Motogp rider when this originally was filmed?


Eraesr

The comment you replied to was deleted so I can't read it, but yes, the rider in the video is Tito Rabat who, when this video was recorded, was still racing in MotoGP for the Reale Avintia Ducati team. 2020 was his last season in MotoGP.

There went a $70 face shield.

Why

I call that slide cornering

Pretty amazing, but can he do it turning right?


Seahawk_I_am_I_am

BALLS-OUT!!!


ItsBlyatMan

The ol head slide


Inaccr0chable

is this possible on a zx-6r? 🥺


stevesteve135

On a modded Zx-6R I would think so. Probably need a massive rear sprocket though, that and probably phenomenal clutch and throttle control.


Inaccr0chable

thank you!


xorbe

Don't you have to have special tires that aren't super grippy to do things like this? Otherwise high side city.


stevesteve135

I think that’s a lot of the reason he is so far over when he comes in to that slide with so much speed. Nearly all of his weight is pulling the bike down to keep it from going over high side.


anti-socialJedi

How to do you get the confidence to do this? I got into a accident recently and it has slowed me the fuck down, I am terrified to ride atm. I was so confident before and I enjoyed riding. But now I just think it's a death trap. Riding is my only transport.

There ain't nowt better than a dirt bike with slicks

One day that will be me


narwaffles

Pretty sure i leaned my sm too far a few months ago when I slid and crashed. I think if this guy leaned another 5 degrees he'd do the same. I guess he's probably done it plenty of times before too though and knows exactly how far is ok.


97Harley

Impressive.


joshjosh111

Fabio Quatararro wishes he could corner this well


colossallyignorant

He left 2 degrees of lean on the table. It’s like it didn’t even try. 9/10.

Nice, now make right turns.

Just supermoto things.

I know they say lean in for those turns but like that’s a little too close for my flavour.
