I can only imagine that the bike is stolen.... Surely nobody does that to their own bike!!!

Great clip, amazing. Back in old days, Oz had a car, 6 cylinder Valiant Charger, very fast. Its headers used to glow after a fast run. That bike clip is another leauge but, total can glowing. Love it.

Really? Would any of you do that to your own bike? I know for sure that I wouldn't.... Have had numerous bikes including a GXSR1000 and wouldn't have done that to any of them.

Went to a couple of bike rallies years ago where they used to do that to a scooter till it blew up, person with the closest time used to win the wreck.

I thought that too.. but the bike is not stolen!
The guy challenge YAMAHA and HONDA owners to do the same...
Its from Greece.
At 1:37 he turns off the engine.. and at 1:53 starts..... and the bike is idling!
Unbelievable!!!

Stupid doing that to any bike IMO, not impressive just the owner being an absolute  :jack:

It might still run after that but it'll not last .
The least damage is the exhaust will rust very quickly and it's probably got damage to it's exhaust valves .
:frustrated:
