Came across this on YouTube and it has to be the best on board footage I've ever seen.

Carbon fiber frame.. I think the front wheel spends more time off the ground than on...
Worth the entire 19 minutes... Think I'll download it to a thumb drive and watch it in my theater..
Fantastic footage, must have half a dozen cameras mounted. That BMW is an absolute animal, 190mph down Sulby straight and then later on front wheel in the air through four gear changes. Total respect to the men who ride that course at those speeds. Balls of steel.
Fantastic video!
I found it more of a intense show case showing bike and rider with all the camera points, although the rider was twisting on the throttle it was not full race mode as many of the corners were not in full race mode. If you think this video is the best you need to check out some of the TT greats like Mike Dunlop or John Mcginness, Bruce Anstey with onboard camera and bragging rights on the line, for the record the more the front is in the air the slower one goes, this was a grandstand video and not a true race at hand. Check out some others, some will make the back of your neck hair stand up, its utterly chilling as these men risk there lives for bragging rights. That said it was still ass kicking.
By the looks of the level of the sun it was late in the day probably during practice week. A time of 19:14 even for an out lap is verrry slow these days. It would have put him in the middle of the top 50 in Superstock qualifying this year. Top ten guys are in the 17:30 - 18 min mark now. So it was probably a go'n'show for BMW.
That being said.... Holy Shit! Did you see the wheely he pulled down Sulby straight? :bomb: :shok:
