    Those guys are amazing. The 5th gen is a big bike and they throw it around like a 250, must be those handlebars

    I wonder how American counterparts riding Hardley's would stack up again the Japanese cops? lol Nice skills displayed in competition.

    I notice those bars too.

    I practice riding in tighter and tighter circles in a clean parking lot.

    Also noticed the crash bars. That would make practicing easy- no risk

    Check out his Liveleak clip of a Japanese Policeman on his fully dressed VFR800 as ge hunts down a riding instructor on a CB750 on their training track, awesome stuff.

    Gotta love the show of skill, makes me want to get crash bars (I am pretty much past the 0 mph dropsies) and head to the nearest empty parking lot with a handful of warning orange painted stones......playtime

    It's funny I saw a pic of an old vf and learned that along with the pillion seat cover, crash bars were the other option.

    Definitely take crash bars and some sticky tires that let loose predictably and progressively to help build skills to the level seen above.
