Is it bad that I guessed what model of bike he was riding just from the video... where you could only see the screen and a small bit of the bike

Nice confident filtering :eek:

Is it a GS1200?, can't tell exactly

I'm much better at telling what car it is, from just seeing the line or curves.

Haha, no not a GS - they wouldn't use something as big as a GS1200, you couldn't filter like that on something that big.

It's a Yamaha XT660Z Tenere. Dual sport/adventure single cylinder bike.

I hate my TomTom sometimes.

BTW kreee, that wasn't a Porsche it was a VW Karmann Ghia - if you meant the silver car. Basically a coupe based on the VW beetle chassis/engine.

Tenere is a parallel twin

The 1200 super tenere is a twin, the 660 tenere is single. I thought the 660 tenere was a twin too but it ain't.

He's skilled, that control of the bike.

An interesting watch, the speed he blasts those red light intersections is absolute lunacy though.

That was a crazy ride, but they have to make it to the person needing help in under 5 minutes.

He slowed down and checked there was nothing oncoming for all of them???

He slowed down, but still quite a pace to be going through red lights. Gave no real time for other traffic to react.

Early RSV4's were known for that unfortunately. 2013 > is best, no known major issues.

EDIT: find it amazing as to why he keeps riding it... not the smartest thing to do.

what was the cause eddie? what did they fix in the revised model?

and no he should have stopped the engine right away,good job it didn't lockup and throw him off

Not really sure, but there was a major redesign of key engine bits in 11/2012 and then a load more updates to the rest of the bike in 2013.
