The bike sounds great Johnny! Whats cool is that you with the 650, you can really keep the revs up. The bike looks like it really runs smooth. Thanks for posting!

After watching the video a second time, I noticed that in PA the road signs are over exaggerated. The "right angle" signed arrows are warning you for a nice moderate turn. In Deal's Gap, the same sign means "Hit the friggin brakes"!! Sharp turn ahead! I remembered saying that to myself when we were coming out of Lancaster that day as well. That's pretty funny!

Us "wimps" do! Unless of course you just keep it in first gear!

I use them in the DG Resort parking lot. Otherwise its first gear most of the way. :tup:

Nice smooth running bike! Thanks for the video! 12:25 in.... "Is this still on?"

Eric I will never know why GoPro did not put a recorder indicator on top of the unit.

Billy those markers are pretty accurate whats amazing is how little lean angle this bike needs to turn. It's like move your body to the left and it just goes. Just need to sort the suspension for the bumps.

The guys on the Hawk site were like boy you really like reving the piss out of it, then one goes ohh he has a FZ1 hes probably looking for the 100hp thats missing.

Thats one of the major drawbacks to the GoPro unit. The video never gives you the feeling of just how sharp a turn is or the lean angle you actually have.

Thanks for the video. I love that POV, speedo and tach with great view of the road. I'm hoping to get a GoPro camera for next season. I plan on making a few videos myself.

FZ1 videos are always appriciated, but I love the view from other bikes too. Is the Hawk meant to idel at 1800? Seemed a bit high. Nice slow down for JohnnyLaw at 12:22

You should ask the "Hawk" guys why they leave the piss in their bikes.

It idles at 1200 its just the angle of the tach. The Guy and the hawk site are really good. Its alot like here.Don't want to piss them off.
