Second with different ending: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=vFFpwxv0Caw

The Hayabusa and the ZX-14 are so close in performance, small changes make a big difference.

These two runs were done within minutes of each other with the exact same machinery. The only thing that changed was the rider on the Kawasaki.

In the first video, why did the camera rider follow so closely behind the ZX-14? When the Kawasaki came out of it, he almost went right into his back end.

I agree that is way to close to be riding at those speeds. Any little gust of wind in the wrong direction and it would have been that riders ass. If he keeps doing that he is in for a rude awakening.

I would guess at those speeds the second rider would more comfortable drafting the first. however, with that said, I was cringing the whole time waiting for something bad to happen
