I just learned today Justin passed away. I don't know the details or whether it was on a motorcycle, but I know he was a very talented rider who had his entire life in front of him. My condolences to friends and family and all who knew him. Rest in peace Justin, we'll miss you.
Not on those tight twisties with a little fella like that, it would only slow him down to add more weight. The power really don't shine till you get above 120 mph. That's when gearing & ponies take over. I'm 250 pounds with all my gear on, & the CCs are advantageous for low torque applications.
Enough torque, good cornering clearance and chassis balance, suspension, sticky tires, and lightweight adds up to a lot of corner speed. I think a person on a Ninja 400 that's set up really well could be fast on the Dragon.
Yes, that guy is one with his bike! So comfortable at speed he makes everyone else seem slow, but you aren't really. It seems like the notoriety of this road and the sheer number of sport bikes riding so fast has brought too much attention and the law enforcement has been issued orders to get things in control. Too much of a good thing I guess. What the sport bike riders need are more tracks to go have fun on, just like drag racers got in the 60's and 70's. Stay safe man. If I was 40 years younger, it would be a pleasure to have you dust me off. I have no desire at 73 to go down and get seriously injured. That would not be a lot of fun for me.
I never told anybody about my favorite roads, or fishing spots.. It's just shooting one self in the foot.. That one guy you tell, tells only two guys, and they.....
@@CONEHEADDK When I was sport riding in the 70's-80's, I had a few special out of the way roads that very little traffic, only the few rancher families who lived down those roads. I never saw another motorcycle out there. I never said anything about them until recently.
You know how much a track cost?! hahaha I agree. Even with oncoming traffic he wasn't so maxed out that he couldn't make lane position adjustments even while knee draggin. That's a sign of a good rider, who can always leave an out even at speed and tight places.
It's amazing you're able to ride like that on what is basically a touring bike. Thanks for another great video man. And that dude (Justin) is flat out amazing; that's no diss on you, either!
This not basically a touring bike. This is 100% a motor home and this guy used to school some sport bike riders back in the day. It isn’t what you ride, but how you ride it! 👍🏽 ruclips.net/video/0nrMQ3QwyPo/видео.html
He was just so silky smooth....mind you so are you man, what a total pleasure tonight 4 superb videos this week excellent man...👍🤘✌cheers for the fun. Regards Glenn
@@pistolpete6321 my street tires are worn track tires 😅 For the money I don't think anything touches the Bridgestone S22, that is what Justin is running here in the back, they're superb.
@@CubanRider thanks man, will try those at some point then. I think my XR came with Bridgestone Battlax T31 tires and they were great but squared off pretty quickly.
Cuban, i think u're one of talented s1kxr riders on YT... i love to push my XR in the canyons but i cannot tame the XR in DP mode like you do. but when i get on my cb500, i thoroughly thrash it like it owes me money, i love it. i'd love to see you thrash something like a decked out ktm 790 duke....
Una ligera bicilindrica de media cilindrada es ideal para esas rutas, si además juntamos buen chasis y frenos, y que el piloto es bueno...Mas mérito tienes tu con una pesada mil y eso que la s1000xr es una motaza en todos los sentidos. Le pillas en circuito y lo crujes a el y a esa mosnter jajaja
Juan depends on whether I'm riding solo. With the Mrs I bump the rear tire pressure to 33 PSI, the front to 31 or so. When riding solo and doing this type of riding, the front is at 30 psi, the rear at 25, cold/ambient temperature pressures.
Go to 4 minutes and 40 seconds and play at Quarter speed. Light rider, light chassis, low chassis, very good body position with flawless smooth riding technique. In particular late brake and early throttle applications. But if you notice he's not even running that much max lean at mid corner because he doesn't have to. The front tire therefore is never anywhere near the limit and while it may look dangerous to slow people that wobble it actually isn't. I'm actually more impressed that Cuban Rider could keep him in sight for more than 3 corners running what he is running. Humble for no good reason sir. Well played.
Who needs a litter bike to ride fast? Seriously, not everyone can ride a 200 horse power bike fast; it might look - and feel - fast, but until you find someone really fast on a 600 and ride/race and see how you do, you don't know...
@@ScottUsher i have a 2016, and in DP mode, or even Dy mode, if i exit quick out of turns, it blinks aot. i actually see the blinking more than i feel the rear tire breaking traction
@@joekahng Well, i weigh about 240 in my gear & ride in Dynamic Pro. Have a Rapid Bike with the live tune module & a long header & SC tip. I run soft tire with about 28 rear & 26 front. They last about 1200 miles & are paper after that. I would have to turn the TC off to get her to do that. I don't like that because she lifts so fast unded 130 mph. I ride public roads that are very similar to the dragon & I have a section that's about 11 miles long that has 80-90 mph turns.
It's one of these bad boys: www.wunderlichamerica.com/BMW_S1000_XR_Tank_Bag_Sport_Motorcycle Quite a lot of money for something that small, but I think it's the best for my needs and I got lucky to find one used in good condition.
Trying to save some space, I want to keep all these videos, but they take a lot of room. The 30 fps videos are smaller, and I don't think they look that different. Just trying different things out.
Great vid! What is your opinion on that Battlax? Your vid description might suggest that it ain't the best. I just changed a 10y old front tire on my new to me 2005 Tuono to this S22, going to switch the rear tire once the current Michelin shows some more wear. Hoping its good for my riding style in a moderate climate (Netherlands).
The Battlax are phenomenal street tires, I recommend them all the time. I even used them for track work during my first track days and the held just fine. Very predictable, grip everywhere, just not as aggressive as the Dunlop Q3/Q4 or Michelin Power GP/Cup series.
@@CubanRider sounds wonderful man, your insight is much appreciated. Following your description I think these will fit my use nicely. As I am a pure street rider and we only have very busy roads those other more aggressive mentions seem wasted on me

OMG! :( RIP Justin
🙏🏿
Your post spiked my curiosity. On Facebook I found a post regarding Justin’s passing explaining that he died instantly in a go-cart accident.
So sorry to hear this. His graceful riding style was unique, and a pleasure to watch. Prayers for his relatives and friends. May he rest in peace
Omg so sorry to hear this...
The guy on Ducati proves the point why you don't need a super powerful bike :)

Something like 7 fatalities on the road last year is why enforcement has been upped.
@@ethannicosia979 I hadn't heard that. Increased police presence makes sense. Stay safe.

He needs to take those skills to the track ! Very composed, very fast........
Working on something!!!

What up bro! Gotta link up soon!
@@justinsniffen9491 I was just thinking that last night lol. Definitely gotta happen 💯. I'll hit you up through Instagram next time we get up there

Yeah, he's something else on that thing. Imagine when he gets a newer/quicker bike. 🫣

En el circuito la XR es bien divertida, pero aquí se pone dura la cosa con todas las curvas lentas.
On roads like that a little sv650 ridden well will hang with anyone.
Agreed.
I'd say he knows his monster pretty well!
Part 2!! Damn, he's really great.
You remember! Yeah, he's gotten faster, and I think I got slower too, lol.
What a ride! 👍🙋🇭🇷
Nice road. Greetings from Argentina.
good riding man, cuidate........
Another vid! 🤩 Awesome

Thanks Gary. It's the Wunderlich sport tank bag, pressures are 30 front, 26 rear cold temps.
Awesome riding, would definitely prefer a lighter bike on that road.
Indeed. The Duke 890R that I had was amazing on this road. Looking back, now I'm wishing I'd kept it
