    .


    Well if that's an S1000rr turns out I've been riding one for years. :confused:

    What I'd really like to see is that (probably) little Japanese girl who performs the initial set-up/final bleed at the end of the ABS Fireblade production line going through the whole process. I'll bet serious money it doesn't take her anything like the 2-4 hours quoted by our local dealers. ;)

    The engine in the video looks like a waterboxer.

    My grandad used to get the same amount of power out of a cotton reel, matchstick and a rubber band.
