Don't run from the Motorcycle Cops in Japan...

Sorry if this is a repost, but thought it was worth it. These guys are great. I wonder how a Harley would do on this course...

It's interesting to note that they don't really alter their body position when cornering. No hanging off the bike for them.

Very interesting indeed! The only real movement seems to be their head.

Very cool!

Low speed cornering and high speed cornering use very different techniques

I thought of that too, but some of their turns were at a pretty decent clip. Not track speed, of course, but neither is street riding.

I haven't seen this one, only ones with older bikes. always impressive. if you watch on the higher speed corners they turn their heads and dip their shoulders to lead the bike around the turn. its quite similar to track position just not moving off the seat and keeping their heads up so they can still see everything around them.
