I like your video quality. What was your setup camera-wise. I also noticed that your right hand cornering is a little stuttery - evidenced by uncertain lines through corners and throttle chopping. Your avge speed (you can see the reflection in the screen thru the tunnels) was pretty steady at 100(ish)kph. The top speed blast sounded awesome - I love the triple. Is it a stock exhaust or aftermarket?
Camera was just sony handicam strapped to tank with elastic straps, with little block of wood under front of camera to tilt.
Bike was stock, i hired it from a shop in XZurich, with 1200 k's on it.
I am getting a bit shakey in my old age, especially on the modern sports bikes, old wrists start to hurt after three days and self presevation is starting to take control.
yeah , i liked the seat pipe. gave it a clean look and great sound. i have heard of aftermarket pipes that really liven them up. I have bene checking and second hand they still attract a good price. :( Good luck and happy trails.
A great MODERN British bike ridden in Switzerland by an Aussie (Australian) bloke! I like!

On the tank, strapped with elastic straps connected to frame, with small block of wood under front of camera to tilt up to view.
Nearly lost it a few times but managed to hold on to it till the end.
Yeah sound was so awesome, very different to a four or twin..:)

This one sure wins on looks, too bad about the seatpipe tho.
Hopefully I can get a second hand one in some time.
