Cut to around 30secs and you'll see them drifting there sportsbike. Not normally one for stunting but that has gota take some bike controll!
There are another few bits of drifting throughout the video.
Might wana mute it to get rid of that god awful "music".

Gary Rothwell was doing that as the end product of donuts years ago.
That reminds me, I must dig out his 20 year old video sometime for some good old fashioned old school, with some good music too.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

wow....

Those wheelies where they are just using body balance alone look insane.

Those power slides don't look hard though. Looks like what I do on the mini roundabout at the end of my road. I take it at about 15MPH, and it's sharp so the bike gets fairly lowish. I'm only in 2nd so I give it more throttle than necessary and the back end kicks out just like in this video.... sliding out but the rapidly rotating back wheel having only just a bit less grip rather than no grip, which is why it's still a controlled slide.

Well... my bike seems to do this on a wet day on this particular corner without any extra torque for the normal speed I take it anyway. I've just kind of gotten used to it.

I'm thinking it's way easier to control that kind of power on a 125 CG though, can't imagine being so precise on one of those in the video.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

There is a video lying around somewhere on the world wide web of some guys on superbikes in, i think, the south of france going round corners and drifting our the back end, if i knew where it was i saw it i would obviously link it but it is amazing stuff.
