They had his bike at Duc Indy during race weekend.

Still had the dirt on it and everything.

It was pretty cool to get to see it.

nice find.

I am surprised that the hypermotard winning virtually stock didn't get more coverage in the moto rags.

Yeah, looking over that bike at the dealership, I was amazed to see exactly how stock it really is.

I figured they were just downplaying it in the write-up.

Doesn't quite sound stock... sounds more free-er breathing and throaty compared to my HM with 2-1..

I don't want to denounce the riders ability (god knows i coud never ride that good) but it seemed the Hyper was far superior than the other bikes.  It took almost nothing to over take the other bikes.  So is it the bike or the rider???

It's been a while since I watched the videos, so I don't remember, but is it possible the bikes were from a different class?
