Do you think this is doable on a Monster?

The Cop video is MUCH more impressive. 

To each their own opinion o fcourse, but I think the cop has an easier job because the crash bars (which were scratching on the asphalt pretty much every time he banked) provide him with the lean limit, where as the CBR guy did not even knee drag to control his lean angle.

Just saying  [beer]

Exactly, he was knee gripping the tank the entire course.

Not to play down the cop's performance of course, I wouldn't be able to do either.

First off.. Both of these riders displayed incredible talent in those manuevers. With that said, I believe that the "cbr guys" level of expertise would be harder to achieve than the harley rider.

The cbr guy executed his manuevers with counter steering, not counter weighting in a confined space. He managed to do this by carrying sufficient speed to keep the bike up, and not tip. This alone, in my humble opinion makes his effort greater (more difficult), etc, etc.

Another way to view this in an unbiased manner (if thats possible), is to ask the question. Which RIDER would be able to complete the OTHER riders course using the other rider motorcycle?

Im positive the cbr guy would be able to complete the harley guys course. Im almost postive the harley guy could not.

watch both of their heads during their respective runs.  they look where they want to go in every turn.  where the eyes go the bike goes.
