    KD, awful crash, I'm glad everyone was fine. I have enjoyed your videos, please keep them coming. Your attitude makes me a fan of your program "...I had a blast riding at Road Atlanta... it's part of the job" all of this after that crash. Keep the positivity coming, rubber side down, best of luck the remainder of the season!

    so like question....do they have abs deactivated for racing? i would suppose so considering but also his settings may not have been set up to prevent such a slide.

      There was no preventing this slide once water or oil hits your rear tire your sliding no matter what

Ive mostly road 600s (ZXr6 and R6), but think the RS660 will be a great street bike because i dont go the track much any more.

    You can blame Aprilia for that poor workmanship and unreliable parts. Your fuel hose disconnected from the tank from what it seems on the slow motion on other videos.
    This is how I describe Aprilia:
    Piss poor workmanship and unreliable parts engine and electronics . Amazing performance.

      Most likely someone on his team didn't clip the fuel line up correctly after they swapped out the air filter and velocity stacks, I bet Aprilia were pissed
