Cal Crutchlow onboard a Yamaha XJR1300

Cal Cruthclow was untouchable at Silverstone WSB - but how much more skilled is he than the average rider? To find out we took Cal, an average rider and a selection of bikes to a test track for some datalogged testing - read the full story in this week's MCN, on sale Wednesday 11 August 2010. As a little taster, here's onboard video we shot of Crutchlow thrashing a Yamaha XJR1300.

I always find the forward facing tall cam a bit awkward.

Next time, we'll just take your for it, that its Crutchlow. Dont make us look at his backside.  We perfer the tank camera view.

FJR1300 was the worst handling bike on PS2's TOURIST TROPHY (Gran Turismo on Bikes - If you don't have it GET IT)

Love the way it boings round those sweepers, my RD 250 used to do that... scary!

Is it just the camera angle or did he have to use the grass quite a lot?

Awesome Brave!
