Hi, here's the video from today. I've spent a bit more time on the editing, and fixed my premier problem so the quality is better than the previous video.

Hope you like it, hope it's an improvment on last weeks vid too! Let me know what you think of it.

Quite a few clips of me in it this time, I'm afraid it's wheelies only again as no one filmed the other stuff Rolling Eyes

Right click save as please Smile

Aye, starting to get a lot better than before, need to change into 3rd though, I was revving the bike out every time and eventually it went pop Crying or Very sad had to get it trailered home, not sure of damage as of yet, not thought to be serious though, we'll see!

Aye the two that were filming it were standing in the middle of the road, then dashing to the side when they realised a bike was coming flying at them Rolling Eyes Laughing so the footage they took is wobbily, then someone stuck their finger over the lense on one bit... Rolling Eyes Laughing

Luckily I didn't do any filming at all this time , if I did then it'd have been worse Laughing

Should do another video next week/week after if I sort my bike out!

We'll be doing another video in 1 to 2 weeks time, thanks for all the advice given so far, and I'm glad that this video has received a better response than the other, after taking your advice with the music and so on. Next time we hope to be a bit more "organised" with the filming, to get a variety of stuff from different locations, and with the helmet camera etc. So the next video should be better hopefully, just gotta fix my bike firstt Rolling Eyes

Any suggestions for good music tracks for future videos? I'm running out of ideas Laughing

Yes I can do stoppies but the front brake on my KTM doesn't seem to want to work.. still haven't got around to fixing that yet Mr. Green

Depends how they are geared!

Motos will generally wheely easier but if you gear a sports bike the same then...

But Motos are harder to do decent stunts on like fender scrape, circles etc - that stuff much harder and more impressive on a moto

I'm not really 'up to scratch' on my stunts, whats a fender scrape?? and a circle??

Things like wheelies and stoppies look much easier to execute and control on a SM.

Also, what exhaust do you currently have?? Is it any good/loud?

There was one in work today, that i COULD NOT stand behind whilst it was being revved, it really did hurt your ears, no exagerration. I'll have a good look at the exhaust tomorrow. Everytime it fires, it's as loud as a backfire, lol. Thumbs Up

Fender scrape is basically a "12" only to scrape the fender on a moto you need to go BEYOND 12 o clock Shocked Circle is basically wheelying around in a circle, very very very hard to do, even more hard to do on a supermoto!

Wheelies yes are easier, but not "easy" , upright position and lots of torque = made for wheelies really! But if you gear a sports bike the same then the sport bike will probably be easier to wheely, but motos are harder to balance, they have a higher balance point and shorter gears due to a low top speed! So you could keep the wheel up on an R1 on the power in 2nd to 100 odd mph, whereas that'll get you to about 40 on a moto so you'd need to be good enough to change gear (or be at BP) to keep it going on a motard.

Stoppies, maybe, maybe not.. I could do nice rolling stoppies on my R6 as well as up-to-stop stoppies a LOT better than I can on my moto. The KTM's front brake needs sorting as I /can't/ stoppie it at the minute Laughing I prefer sports bikes for stoppies Thumbs Up

Standard can at the minute, plan to get an arrow or similar soon as well as air box mods and a set up to get some more power out of her, and some nice sound too

Supermotos look a LOT more impressive IMO even though I'm a big fan of sports bike stunting etc... supermotos just seem more crazy I think, don't know but they just look more fun, everyone likes different things though Thumbs Up

I will not stop practicing until I can do that + more Razz

Rage against the machine: Killing in the Name Of! (or is it just killing in the name)

I presume you meant the song in Yams' video.

Yams, get a Remus exhaust mate, please, get one, PLEASE!!!

Not much at tickover, but as soon as the throttle is touched hell is let loose, lol.

Yeah, SM's do look a lot funner, but they /looked/ to be a lot easier to balance etc.. i may be wrong though.

Trust me they are harder to balance Laughing

I'm looking (well, thinking) about a bandit or a crash damaged zx6r for stunting now as the KTM has fucked valves and wont run due to excessive non-stop practice Sad

I found the dr reasonably easy to balance. But then it's not uber tuned and downgeared, as many are.

Bandits have welded on rear subframes not the best for taking wheelies to your own limits; I would look at a cheap older 600 sports bike.

Though I found my wheelies improved most on a lower power bike, as you really have to try.
