Video of tiny woman (Japanese?) riding a VFR

Questions/comments/conclusions I have after watching this vid:

1) WTF is she pushing the VFR like that for through cones!?! I was cringing the whole time thinking she would drop it for sure!
2) What country are they in? Japan?
3) Are the traffic lights flickering like that for real or is it just the video camera causing it?
4) She seems waaaaay too short for the bike - she can't be more than 5'2".
5) The 8th gen looks very sexy from behind.
6) I think all ladies riding a sport bike look sexy - no matter what they look like - lol

The vid could be a riding lesson or even a riding test. In Japan motorcycle riding is tiered for skill levels as well as displacement.
Looks and sounds like Japan..
Looks like the traffic lights are purposely flickering.

Don't get the idea that size and gender somehow are critical factors in riding skill. Check oot this group of chicas on VFRs

That was great! I thought I was watching the Thunderbirds/Blue Angels there for a minute :congratulatory:

I don't think she was doing a test - I just looked at some of the other vids on their channel and that couple has been posting vids of her riding all over the place on her VFR for about a year but the one I linked above is only about a month old so she presumably is fully licensed by now?

 

The flickering lights are a common occurrence of filming led lights. It's the frame rate of the camera catching the pulsing of the light that you can't see with the naked eye. You see it all the time on car shows like Motorweek when they're showing cars with led DRLs.

As for the rest, it definitely looks like they were demonstrating proper techniques for short people to sit on, push around, and stop at lights.

 

That was painful to watch. She needs one of these

 

I see that pulsing a lot from cagers and harleydoods pumping their brakes.. I'm wondering if in the vid from Japan (??) the overall electrical system has something to do with that pulsing of the stop lights. ie our 115-120 vs 220.. One of the contributors here may have a definitive answer. Frame rate in film and frame rate in video share similarities but are different.

Maybe some body can count the pulses in the vid and solve this for us or maybe even dub in a music track.

Did you move to OZ?

 

Toilets flush counter clockwise i heard too. Frame rate sounds correct regarding goofy flickering lights. Damn bike is too big for her, hope i dont raise many females dander with that comment. Or danderette

 

Could be too that what we are seeing is one of those stranger than strange Japanese TV shows.

 

Several pages on LED flicker on Google. This fella has a demo that covers it well.

Tons of innovations in photography and videography in general using powerful LEDs that ten years ago were unheard of or just too expensive to be practical for that average user. For a looksee, try any of the photo suppliers pages out of NYC.

Just spotted an LED light source made from a junk LED TV..

Just built a small mock up of a still photo soffbox using cardboard and some of last year's LED Christmas tree lights I got at Wal*Mart. (where else) Not finished yet. I am looking for a source for some Spandex as a diffuser on the advice of a guy I know. Until then I will be using some cut up panty hose. Engineering at its best ..LOL

 

If not for the long hair I would swear that was Scubalong.

 

It might be the new dude oddbob whose pantyhose are all bunched up.

 

This is from Japan. I think it's an instructional video showing how a short person (158 cm) can handle a relatively heavy motorcycle like the VFR.

 

I think its a teaser for the latest Godzilla movie.

 

LMAO BB. Interestingly, her 8th gen VFR would put up a decent battle against Godzilla, aka the Nissan GT-R, in a 1/4 mile drag race. I had some guy challenge me in his GT-R a few weeks ago so when I got home I looked up the times and was surprised to see that up until the '12 model year the 8th gen's 3.0 0-60 and 11.39 1/4 mile time would in theory beat the '08-'11 Godzilla GT-R (see attached pic). But I guess they've been steadily boosting Godzilla's power over the years because the newer ones are definitely quicker in 0-60 and the 1/4 mile.

 

Is that sow on the first video?
That second one was freekin awesome especially when they did the let's head towards each other and barley miss each other.
Think we all have to do that at the next R3

I linked Nissan GT-R it came up with a carbon fibre license plate frame with the official logo on it for 25 pesos..I used to have a Nissan Altima that was not quite as fast but like my VFR managed to strand me more than once. I have relatives who worked for Nissan. You think I am bad here about crappy stuff..

2.9 seconds 0-60 is damn fast for a genuine street machine. A little pricy for my wallet but it gets pretty good mileage. In fact better than my now gone Explorer.

Gotta say the styling of some of the Japanese cars left a lot to be desired when they first started importing them until they started using Italian designs. That Nissan is really nice!!! Honda had a hotrod I saw at WSB years ago that was in the same price range..

 

:laugh:

Long is pretty hawt on a bike ...
