Finally get to meet the owner of this highly modified S1000XR. There has been no expense spared, a dream bike! Hoping for better road conditions the next time we ride.

Guys, some have been quick to criticize the rider up front because he had a few slides. Keep in mind that we went up and down the mountain three times before it started to get drier. Out of those, I got all of the slides on video for entertainment value. When you're going a little quicker in the wet, you're prone to touch a painted line and get a slip. On top of that, we're both rocking hypersport tires that are less than stellar when it rains. This doesn't take away from the other rider being quick and smooth. Enjoy the ride and hopefully next time we can do it in dry conditions.

Not to worry Cuban.... we had fun and we know it. Everyone is a critic 😂😍👌👍
@AMPJ083 жыл бұрын
For one I noticed he was comfortable sliding a little, experience is evident on both of you because as you rightfully mention about your tires. Well done but you missed the Bembo calipers, and other bits. Nice job with that XR. And don’t mind the others, they feel they know everything, that is YT
@EstebanAGaido3 жыл бұрын
Those who criticized the driving in wet road, are the ones who claim to have PELOTAS and go full gas, those are the ones who crash the harder sooner or later. Of course I don’t wish nobody to get hurt, but they are going to learn the hard way. Personally, I go 5% when I see drops in my helmet screen. Peace!

You seem to think the guy on the blue XR is better than you are. Maybe he is, but he sure made a lot of mistakes in this video. What I would love to see for someone to get is a drone that can be electronically tied to be 50 ft. behind you while you are riding. That video would show you exactly what you are doing and could be a great training aid. Oh, as well as very great to watch! Cuban Rider as always your videos are wonderful to watch. Back in the mid 70's I used to push a highly modified RD 350 on Dunlop K81's pretty darn hard. To have had today's tires would have probably gotten me killed. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.

Given how sensitive the bike gets to minor debries when its wet ive stoped pushing it in the wet, especially when its damp. The only time ive gone down was when it was damp. A minute bit of dust on the road turned a 60 mph corner when raining, into a double wheel slip and a paint job in the 50s when damp. When it lets go due to debries while dry you usually get traction back, in the wet not so much. All that being said, awesome riding :)
@CubanRider3 жыл бұрын
I hear you, I went down on this same road while wet on my Suzuki DRZ400SM. That one doesn't have much in the way of traction control, but it let go very abruptly. I've had a couple of slides on dirt/gravel, and like you say, it's not bad, I but I did have an epic low-side at 55 mph on a thick patch of fine gravel I didn't even see; it was the same color of the road on a shaded area.
