@fastdruid- The 750 says 750 below the VFR on the lowers. The 700 just says VFR. So the bike shown is a 750 (see 0:42). Clocks were different between F and F2 versions. In the US there were no 750F2; if you see the square F2 clocks (see 2:35) on a US bike, it's a 700. This is a non-US 750F2. AFAIK all 87s were F2. In 86 they made both F and F2. At least in the US. I have owned an 86 750F and an 87 700F2. I still have the 87, but now it has a 750. Also had a 92.
@critchley3819 They have a thick rubber pad on their knee, they do that to judge their lean angle! Kenny Roberts started this in the mid 1970's I believe!
@DocPhotop When he ride the 2st racers, always uses the rear brake. But I do not know when he ride a 4st racers . However, VFR750F if equipped with a back torque limiter, I guess he is supposed to use the rear brake.
@landsurfer6 - Maybe I should have been more specific. He is the pro, and we're just mortals! We all know the pro racers need to to use the rear brake, esp. when 2-stroke 500 GP was around. He's always stressed to the students who attended his school not to use "cut it off and throw it away". Those students, and all of us admirers are mortals! Regardless, awesome video. Where is that track? Anyhow, I need to look up this rear brake torque limiter...
@DocPhotop Laguna Seca raceway. Obvious from the corkscrew! I suspect this is original or the longer version of the "1986 VFR intercepter" promo.
No back torque limiter on the VFR750F RC24. While there are (at least) two VFR's here, a race bike (No: 10 @1.03 and 3.20) and (at least) one road bike and while the race bike probably did have a back torque limiter the footage shows indicators so its not the race bike.
Also looks like the fairing was taken off to get the rear brake footage!
@vettper There are at least two bikes and who knows if it was a 750 or the 700 version (plus I don't know if the clocks are different). As streethassled says they were '87 season leathers probably shot in '87.

Body hanging off, head and upper body compensating the other way. That seems like poor form for Freddie? Maybe doesnt trust the bike/tires?

whats the idea about hanging the leg out, makes no sense.

Doesn't Freddie discourage the use of the rear brake?

"The Fast One" is wearing his 87' season leathers. This Vid was shot in 1987.

Great vid but I have one question. Its obviously an 86 but on some shots it has the 87 square gauge cluster. ?

Where on Earth did you get this. It's wonderful. Too bad the technology for cameras was not what it is today. Fast Freddie, I love it.
