shows hes pushing it to the limit , fair play to him i say.

[VicExcelsior]

Schumi is a bonafide "nut"! If I were him, I'd leave the superbikes to those with a death-wish. Anyway, the guy's a bloody genius.

[MetalSnakesUK]

I think you'd find most top drivers could make a transition fairly easily to racing bikes at an intermediate level. Whether they could step up to a world stage, that's another matter, but club level or even national level should be possible.

I did a track day once with David Brabham, (son of Sir Jack, check him on wikipedia) and found him a very fast and capable rider. He could have gone quicker but didn't want to take chances and hurt himself, and I can't fault him for that.

this is the kenans motorcycle

As cool as F1 cars are they are souless. He is quoted as saying that riding a Ducati was the most exhilarating thing he has done, the second most being sky diving.
