That reminded me of this.Sup-Ten said:"When test rides go bad"
Gen I was 2003 - 2005, so it can't be a 2006. My guess is that it's an older bike that already has a few scratches on it and the guy just doesn't care anymore.AVGeek said:That is a Gen 1 bike in the video (you can tell by the clocks). So, given that it seems to be shot in Japan, that bike is at most a 2005-2006 model.
MrTwisty said:I took my FJR off-roading a few times, but nothing that extreme. He had to have dual-sport tires on it because street tires never would have made that hill climb. He stops at one point and you can hear the rear tire spinning as he tries to get going again. He would have been dead in the water at that point with street tires. Nice riding though. He obviously doesn't give a shit about his FJR.
To pass inspection, the tires just have to be street legal and tread above the wear marks.Checkswrecks said:I wondered the same thing about dual sport tires and don't think so.
The rear tire is partially visible and can be enhanced at 10:18, 11:35, and 12:45.
Looks like the stock Bridgestone.
Being Japan, that makes sense, as their safety inspections are strict. I think (not sure) they are one of the countries that require staying with OEM tires unless there is a special inspection and permission.
