[DonnyMacG]

In my biking youth the biggest superbike was a six cylinder Kawasaki 1300 cruiser type bike and this crazy stunt man from finland (I think) used to wheely it up until it smashed the back light it was a brand new move at the time, anybody got a video of it?

[lolletroo]

@DonnyMacG arto nyquist ;)

[grtedane13]

It's trying so hard to be a real street bike. awww good try

[lucasmcl]

lol, that bikes displacement is bigger than my cars.

[steveincairo]

That's bike isn't meant for that, but he makes a very compelling argument.

[k4bmfs1]

Mad bike, mad rider.

[BrissoParrothead]

to all the commentators deriding Kevins riding, ask yourself - could you do that? So you have the skills? Its on a controlled track and he is a professional - stop being wankers and just enjoy the mans talent, daring and courage and admire the bike too!

[Chriso2326]

really a big engine

[antiforks]

I love this bike

[callmeshane303]

MMm it's so big and so powerful - it's not really a motorbike any more...... it's more like a car less two wheels.

[Meadalf]

[akashandmars]

GOD



[IMOLEGREGG]

finally someone riding one of these 'new' triumphs who doesn't look like a gay doctor.

[cornerslide]

Sune Andersson has been stunting on a rocket III for a lot longer time than this guy, he got some cool videos here on youtube.

[stunter675]

@cornerslide Kevin Carmichael was the first to stunt a rocket 3 considering he is the factory rider of Triumph not Sune !!

[Karelinai]

@stunter675 that might be so but they are badass both...

[totallysick9999]

did he died?



[palestaxxx]

wow



[gixxerboy555]

Very nice...respekt...but Mario S. does the same...as Kevin...he did all this allready about 16 years ago...greetings from Belgium...

[matkakulfi]

What the fuck are your balls made of??????

[KayWal1981]

"GIGGITY"

[yabba234]

oh YES !

[wwfww]

haha this guy could race in the GP with this triumph and still win!

I dare to say that he was touched by Chuck Norris himself!

[Beeroshima21]

@wwfww Except when the road turned...he would probably not. 800lb bike would get owned in the GP with all the curves. Granted, this thing would probably smash the GP bikes at the Strip.

[PepperPriby]

Did he just do a wheelie with a fucking tank?

[sportexe1]

My God

[1000RRdoc]

[theantiredneck]

Yeah but it's ugly!

[fireboltaz]

lot of bike for a bike

[RossPHoward]

Holy Shit!

[AlkoOhjuksineen]

@Darkzey Test drived one of these today, I've found my purpose to live too. It's amazing how drivable it is despite it's size. And the engine... *drools*

[weetnietgeen]

omg, my neighbour has this bike! we once went for a drive and it accelerated from 80kph to 200 kph in like a blink of an eye...

[flavric95]

A chopper looking bike with charachteristics of a super sport bike? Wow :D However i still prefer super sport looking bikes with charachteristics of a supersport bike :D

[fededodge1500]

[strykerdrifter1]

that bike sounds amazing

[ookland81]

MMMM

[noinjamininja]

は？？



[dogsdinna]

sounds like its gonna take off

[wannasurf]

born in tokyo.. drift kunt!

[Alexgotnicebody]

why "roadster"?? thats when you take a car and make convertible. motocycles dont have roof.

[mongoosecage]

@Alexgotnicebody marketing? as comfortable and powerful as a car but with more thrills than an actual roadster?

[Alexgotnicebody]

@mongoosecage you cant compare a car with a bike...

[mongoosecage]

@Alexgotnicebody but u can't say this is a road going version of a GP bike either. either way someone wants to give the message that its good for long cruises like a convertible.

[Alexgotnicebody]

@mongoosecage well i donno. i just think its stupid to say that, bikes dont have roofs and never had one unless you custom make one for your bike. here "A roadster, also known as a spyder or spider, is a two-seat car, traditionally without a roof, side or rear windows." but whatever. its their bike they can call it whatever, it just gets to me because they are missleading.

[FAZER6N]

awesome ........

[chunk123123]

these bikes have huge engines and the tts superchaged ones run a 1/4 mile in 10.5

[abood2900]

sound like a car!

[abacazam]

@abood2900 6 cylinder it has the motor of ur average car

[abacazam]

@abacazam sorry 3 cyl

[purpleGoAhead]

@abacazam yup, it is a 3-cyl and an average car uses a 4-cylinder engine, not 6 - at least in europe and asia...

[powerpiep]

Very nice driving :p

[Numanoidlogik]

Kin el - awesome.

[MrCheshir]

Want this one right now!!!!!!!!!!!!

[michaaeell123]

[strykerdrifter1]

[adoniscomplex]

[akaihoshi80]

ZOMG!

[netmatrix75]

A drifting bike!!!

[IVANGROZNEY]

@netmatrix75 Balls, people without them drift in cars.

[DoctorNambu]

@IVANGROZNEY hahah easy to drift on a bike not in a car

[fragglevooper]

@IVANGROZNEY so true. I always though people who are massive pussys also buy jetskis instead of motoX bikes.

[waider]

@IVANGROZNEY

dude has awesome skills but you can't compare bike "drifting" with car drifting, in japan they initiate @ +240kmh.

Anyway that bike is awesome.

[g1ender]

@IVANGROZNEY best comment on youtube !!!!!!

[e36bg]

@IVANGROZNEY people with balls do synchronized drifting with over 80km/h on mountain roads with cars. Cyclists are just donors :)

[blackjesusnation]

@e36bg if you look at it another way people who drift are like figure skaters and cyclists poke fun at death

[mianonna01]

@IVANGROZNEY Epic. Can I use this comment for a poster? :)

[gingernutbumchin]

@IVANGROZNEY You don't know what your talking about

[JF1JSG]

すげ～～～

[vanderzone64]

nice Bond mat'l!

[VooDooXII]

This man has balls of brass.

[uraldneprvw]

I have a Rocket 3 Roadster so no - remarks please. The bike on demo'd by Kevin Carmichael is NOT a standard 147 BHP Rocket 3. Yes, of course it is possible to have the bike tweaked + the engine remapped to produce this kind of power but it is not possible to do this on a standard bike. This info was imparted to me by Triumph technicians at the NEC. No disrespect to Triumph tho, it can be achieved, but at some cost. Still an ace bike, loads of fun, massive torque with street cred. I love mine!

[Mr10501050]

@uraldneprvw Just to give you some info, EVERYTHING on this video IS possible on a completely standard Rocket 3, if you want I can prove it for you :):):)

[uraldneprvw]

@Mr10501050 Well, I am intrigued. I still maintain the video here is not a standard R3 Roadster but if you can prove it is possible on a standard bike, then I bow to your superior knowledge and obvious skill!

[Mr10501050]

@uraldneprvw Well i am the rider in the video , and if you want to bring a big bag of money for a bet i will prove it with a standard bike :):) the bike in the Triumph demo vid was totally stock, and the one in this vid only had some de-restrictions in the ecu and Triumph aftermarket cans, there was definitely no tuning :):) believe me I know. I also rode a stock Rocket 3 for 4 years and did the same with that :):)

[uraldneprvw]

@Mr10501050 So, are you telling me you are Kevin Carmichael then? I hope this is not an " I am Spartacus" moment. I would like my ECU altering. What after market cans do Triumph make for this bike?

[BIKEmagazineUK]

@uraldneprvw Err, he is Kevin Carmichael actually. Checked today. He is the bloke riding in our video, and everything in it can indeed be done on a standard Rocket III Roadster. That being said, in this particular vid he is using his own ECU. But that's it.

[uraldneprvw]

@BIKEmagazineUK Well in that case I do bow to KC's superior knowledge and hope he forgives my disbelief. I feel both flattered and honoured that I have been in commumication with him. Thanks for letting me know. I do actually have a Rocket 3 Roadster but never managed to do what is done on this vid, probably because I am not KC. Thanks and best regards. John

[keefylandlord]

I`d like to see a Harley do what the rocket can, will never happen. BUY BRITISH.

[JackbeepsPrince]

@9501dannyboy rode harleys for 24 years and never let me down, some riders might be the same, but most are not, bought a rocket 3 recently and its a shame to say i would never go back to harley unless i could buy a tourer for a reasonable price, think you went a bir far with the insults on harley riders.

[Luwinkle]

@9501dannyboy That's not very nice.

Different strokes for different folks. Some people prefer Harleys.

I actually prefer Harleys..but this bike is just epically badass.

No need to start slinging insults.

[djer93]

hervé si tu nous regarrde

[andreraduan]

@kotsxz - Scared the hell out of you? What are you dude, a chicken? Can't believe you bought a Harley after test riding the Rocket. That just doesn't make any sense...

[kotsxz]

I test rode one and it scared the hell out of me. Bought a Harley.

[ConverseFool]

@kotsxz sucks to be you

[suru94]

[yozayan]

O_O Impressive!

[FretFreak02]

Haha now land that beast without smashing the front shock :P

@FretFreak02 It's simple... When the front wheel is going to hit the ground, just apply a little throttle and the engine torque will land the motorcycle safely.
