I can't see anything that sticks out as making it that impractical compared to most other bikes to be honest.

Smaller tank than the thruxton/Bonneville apparently, but not stupid small (about 11-13l), same engine as the 1200 Thruxton but 'tuned for more low down torque/power, so seems pretty practical tbh. it's not a rigid frame either, they've just made it look that way and hidden the shock away.

The new scrambler should be brilliant too, hopefully it sounds as good as the old one with the arrow pipe, saw/heard one a few weeks ago, sounded awesome.
A guy in the group I ride with has the old one.
My face goes like this when he overtakes

You aren't going fast enough if he's overtaking you on a Bonneville.
Anyway, braided lines and clutch cable are here some time to fit these.

He rides by the seat of his pants to put it nicely, he's more than welcome to overtake me

Not everyone needs to ride full throttle everywhere all the time. Some of us would like to keep riding for many years and don't want to lose our licence/life

You're over exaggerating.

It's not really editing the video, using an ND (neutral density) filter, it just forces the camera to use a longer shutter speed which creates more blur. It's a basic photography technique.
Agreed he's a great rider, he's done some recent knee down/hanging off videos going up the Grossglockner.

Hmm, no - if the gopro had manual controls (shutter speed/aperture/ISO) then he'd simply be increasing the shutter speed (and reducing the aperture) to gain exactly the same result.
If it was darker, say cloudy or dusk - as the gopro has a fixed aperture - it has to either alter ISO or shutter speed to provide the correct exposure, if it used a longer shutter speed, same result. it's why night footage looks crap and grainy normally, much higher ISO which increases the noise on the image.
The point I'm making is, using a different shutter speed or aperture to create an image in the style you want (narrow DOF/blurred background/motion blur etc. etc. etc.) is just photography. He's not editing the footage that comes out the camera, he's controlling how the light enters the camera to create the image he wants. In a way, yes he's 'editing' the how the image enters the lens and is recorded by the sensor, but that's photography, it's painting with light.
And video is just lots of still images displayed one after the other to give the impression of a moving image, everything that applies to still photography also applies to video.
Saying that he edits the footage is making it sound like he's speeding up/slowing down the footage from the camera, or changing it in some way, when in fact he's just using good photography skills.
Check out his gopro only instagram, he's a very talented photographer, as well as a very good rider
Edit: the new Gopro hero 5 has manual control over ISO and shutter speed, so (up to a point) you wouldn't need an ND filter. However... shooting in bright light you'd probably still need to reduce the light entering the lens in order to get the correct exposure with a slower shutter speed (with an ND filter).

Already posted the couple I've done, nothing special mind you.
I've not recorded a video for months, doubt I'll do one this year.
I'm not sure why your getting retentive about definitions Paul, he has modified the footage to make it look a lot quicker whatever terminology you want to use.
