Gulag,
But the brake fluid reservoir looks a whole lot like the R-!/FZ1. Picking nits here.

Ahhh, a chance to use my favorite saying. No brains, no headaches!

What would DoG do?
Ya think?! If that's how he rides in heavy traffic, just imagine his act on some open stretches of road.

What was the noise when he got on the brakes? ABS or (more likely) worn pads and rotors?

Daaaaamn, Dat boy got some skillz... :haha:
no doubt, this guy is off his rocker. if not dead already, he might be soon, riding like that.
that being said, WOW! That is pretty impressive. I mean, if I've got like 2 minutes to go 5 miles in nasty traffice to get an antedote to save me from some poison: I want this guy taking me! Absolutely amazing. the best was when he made that big left handed U-Turn and that big arse truck was right there!
very impressive. a good way to get squashed, but nonetheless impressive!

Anyone else notice the motorcycle cop that he passed at about the 3 minute 33 second point?
What a bunch of hippocrites. Two hours from now you'll all be posting in the 150 club thread. 
I don't ride like that but I liked it. I think it takes place in Greece. Yea he's crazy but who gives a ****. He's not all that different from the rest of the bikers over there.
And BTW, whoever said it, the FZ1 certainly is not a naked version of the R1.

Also, If the cagers are asleep like they normally are the risk is somewhat mitigated. It's not like they are going to actually see the bike so they won't have that tendancy to pull in front of it.
Ride on "Crazy" man!

A post from another site by Jose in Mexico:
"I almost can bet that the driver is a "motoboy" from Sau Paulo,
Brazil. They are know for their reckless driving in the city traffic.
They deliver everything from flowers, food, to mail; and earn a few
dollars a day. There are thousands in the city, on average two of them
die every single day due to traffic accidents. Almost everyone in the
city hates them, but the city can't live without them. There is a
proposal to have special motorcycle lanes in the city for them, but
the proposal has been in the freezer for years. Can't remeber the
exact cost to carry out this proposal , but the city spends 6 times as
much every year because of the accidents and deaths.
I saw them in action back in 2001 and years later saw a documentary
about them"
Given the amount of american cars in the vidieo, I am willing to bet he is correct in the location.

That sounds likely to me. Still, the way he was passing some of those other bikes would show that he is not a true motorcyclist. Bad enough risking his own life but taking chances like that with other bikers is not acceptable.
I don't know what the bike was but it had to be something narrower and with a shorted wheelbase than the FJR.

Gives lane splitting a bad name. Oh well, more evidence for the ignorant.

I'm pretty sure it's ZX-9 judging by the gauges. It's for sure not an FZ-1. They don't have that brushed aluminum around the tach and I don't think they have that type of brake resevior.
