This is definately a bike with the Diapason ECU! They call it the XT1200Z R over there (italy), and the poster is Italian. ::015::

Wooohhoooooooo.... ::014:: ::014:: ::014::

Gotta get me a few stickers with the R character to put on the fairings. ::019::

Here is another movie from them. At the end of this clip you can see their trip to Gibraltar in Spain on a map, and it shows that they started their journey from Parma Italy.

I think he's in TCS2, so that's the engine cutout. TCS2, BTW, makes those kind of tricks relatively easy to do.

With TCS2 it feels a little like cheating to call those tricks. I was guessing he turned off TCS for the wheelies. I can't make mine stay up that long unless it's off.

oh yeah, forgot about the wheelies - probably TCS2 will inhibit them. I guess it's possible he had TCS on for the curves and not for the wheelies (2 different shots in the video).

It will do the same in gravel that is not deep, very controllable. Doesn't do big jumps tho, well maybe once. )

Are you to the point where you're satisfied with your suspension mods?

NIce video! Here is another one that's longer for the R. Test Yamaha XTZ1200 R

Easy going at first then after minute 8 or so it gets narrow and rockier.
