Cool Little Video

[Gnarly]

Great little onboard of what I think is a Yam TZ250 passing most of a trackday like they are in reverse, and at about 3.30 gets into a scrap with what looks like a Moriwaki Storm, the TZ takes a tumble at the end tho.
Enjoy

Cracking footage mate, he wasn't hanging about

SP1 from the angle of the cans, I would have thought.
Didn't watch it full screen though, so not sure at all.

That ain't no 250 that's a 500 .
There was a blue sp and this storm

Either way, what ever it was, his closing skills coming into a corner were phenomenal ...untill he binned it

It tend to believe it was a 500 too. At one point he was chasing a Gixxer thou and you could tell the gixxer was really trying because he had a bit of a spin up exiting the corner. I wouldn't imagine a 250 could keep up with that on the straights

Awesome video, thanks uploading it

Incredible riding, considering the fact he is probably on some old style rubber and can only get his peak power within short rev range.

Makes me want to have a race!

Yeah I spotted the gixxer have a moment Pete, he was feeling under pressure I reckon. It probably seized up on him causing him to bin it , poxy 2 strokes

I reckon TZ250, he's faster than some bigger bikes on the straight because he's carrying more corner speed, there's a 600 that's a bit quicker on straight and even a storm pulls away a bit at one point, that wouldn't happen if it was a 500. And where would he get a 500 ? they were never customer bikes (except for roc and Harris of which there were very few). the GSXr1000 really wasn't ridden well, he was off line all over the place, not carrying corner speed and just relying on brute power. Definitely go for TZ250.
