@Jenny Cruiser how'd you let them get that footage of us? I thought we were alone... :confused:

That's not a super light bike. That dude is definitely skilled.

Very cool video. I did a trip with a buddy on his new Africa Twin last year, very capable motorcycle except....the motor was a dog. Couldn't hang with my R1250 GSA, and by that I mean maybe we were in a situation where we were cruising at 75 mph and needed to pass 3 cars while at elevation. He might as well have been a mile back, just couldn't hang. Other than that (lack of acceleration) a very nice bike.

Edit: My previous Adv Bike was KLR 650. That thing needed a push and strong breeze downhill to hit 75mph, so I guess it's not so bad.
