Good video, to be taken with a pinch of salt of course. It is road based, they readily admit that on track it's a different thing, and they keep referring to the R1 as being the best bike of 2009 ... whereas we've seen other magazines tell a very different tale http://www.clipartof.com/images/thumbnail/444.gif

I'm not entirely convinced by the bloke who is doing most of the talking. After seeing a few of his reviews on youtube and the like, it seems to me he is just an average joe with not a great deal of technical knowledge, allowing him to make constructive and concise judgements on the motorcycles which he is testing. Or he is unable to purvey his knowledge and understanding to others via a camera
