I continue one year later.
The Surface is wet but its quality made is high and tires are also High quality so riched to high grip in the end. İts impossible to ride just like this on a rainy day at My country...
İf you dare then you gonna feel the silky surface closer.... 😒
I’d expect no less from the people who created some of the best motorcycles in the world.

They also created some of the best cameras in the world...... but can't seem to use them. 😂🤣

I fell from my chair twice while watching this.
Hahaha 🤣
😂😂👍🏻
Lol
Aaaahh!🤣🤣
Hahaha me too 😅
People who've never ridden a motorcycle can't possibly understand the level of skill this shows. What incredible ability and training! Awesome.
I don't ride a motorcycle and I'm pretty sure this took some sort of sorcery to not lose traction.
@@s.willis8426 Lol. I know it may look that way, but these guys really are that good.
I'm going to buy a motor Bike tomorrow and try this. I will let you all know how it goes.

😂 I may just leave it to the experts. Still getting a bike soon, a little 150. Straight lines for beginners I say. 😃
We were speeding down the opposite side of the elevated highways in Tokyo when we spotted a “shiro bai” going the other way. The highways are divided by a 4 foot high concrete barrier and we laughed at the cop going the other way.
He was on a Honda 750 just like mine and as we slowed to catch him in our mirrors, we were shocked that he jumped the barrier and soon caught up with us.
He said that he hadn’t clocked us but knew that we were traveling at a very high speed and gave us a warning. Cool cop.
He later showed up at our high school and we became friends. He taught us some police bike techniques that left us amazed at the skill of these “shiro bai” riders.
That was in 1971.
And then you woke up.
Damn bro thats incredible

@@yonnymestampo8389 LOL
No joke, in the US every cop aspires to be on the SWAT Team. In Japan, every cop aspires to be a “Shiro-Bai” motorcycle cop.
coolest gig for sure
I thought they all wanted to be Saitama. . . 😍
Wonder what they do during snow season
Omar Kharnivall If it's like a Vancouver, bc motorcycle cop, that's when they get put into a patrol car. But I worked with an ex edmonton, alberta cop who rode all year. When snow season came, they installed a sidecar. He didn't like the sidecars, because he said they were dangerous to ride compared to a two wheeler.
@@oneselmo Funny you should mention that. I’m from Edmonton, now living in Tokyo...and the weather is way milder as you said. However, in all the years I lived in Edmonton, I never once saw a bike cop with a sidecar. (Which is unfortunate, because that sounds awesome)
Never try to outrun motorcycle police in japan - check.
Lol good one 👍🏼
A Japanese friend once told me that it's impossible to escape from a cop on a motorbike.
Yep....checked..............and noted.
Same thing in Finland. You can always outrun a police car but never a motorcycle police
we tried in another one of our videos lol didnt end up well
I was in the Marines and spent a year in Japan and was TAD to the Military Police. (Was Infantry usually.) I got to watch them in action in person. They are unbelievable. When I got out, I became a police officer and the motorcycle cops bragged about how tough their course was. I had to tell them that I was not that impressed after watching the Japanese cops do their thing.
I'd imagine that their course is pretty tough - I'd imagine that most countries would have highly skilled motorcycle police, however in Japan, as I'm sure you know, Motorcycle Gymkhana has been around for years, so I imagine that there's a fair amount of crossover between the two.
I served 5 years in military(not US), elite infantry unit but im not in special force, managed to work with aussie, and us marines before.
Now im in the police field of work for easy money and more free time to do my bjj dream, was invited to trial for star team in the police force and i straight turn down thinking its a waste of time.
Istg unless you're in star team of police force or such. Police generally is just a walk in the park, even easier in the usa. excluding the study of the laws part.
US Motorcycle cop here, it is tough and trying to ride even close to like that on a Harley Davidson is tough. You are making an assumption based on two different bikes with two different capabilities and requirements. Knowledge is key. And yes, I know an HD could not be rode that hard in those conditions, it wasn't designed for that easily.
@@kman-mi7su
Maybe they should give you good bikes, then ?
@@schplafff Nope, you're still thinking one-dimensional. Japan is a different place with a different road system and different requirements from the American police depts. And that's just for starters. Just because it works in Japan doesn't mean it works here as well. Not a one-size-fits-all.
Idk what is more impressive, his riding skills or how the heck he remembers that course!!
These guys are true bikers with amazing skills.
Most police services use a standard very similar to what you just watched. This is done internationally and depending on what motorcycle is issued by the department, training will vary slightly but go watch American cops handle big and heavy HD's through these courses, it amazing.
Nice skills, very nice skills. Amazing is still reserved for record holding tricksters.
Actually.this is not the final tournament.
It is one prefecture Qualifying tournament.
Lol wouldn't go that far
Absolutely! Especially compared to the sad poser wannabes riding the big custom choppers, etc. This is what real riding is about...RIDING SKILLFULLY
I remember this one time when I pulled out of my driveway on a damp day and my bike fell over...
Been there myself too!
DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May have just shit myself........ Keep up the vids bro good stuff!!!
:) will do broseph
This is insanely impressive on dry, but to do that on wet ground?? That's just pure talent.
*OR* Possibly:
(i) They're on 'Wet' tyres - Those thinks *like* the wet & stick like climbers' sticky boots.
(ii) The Camera followed the one incredibly gifted rider - Ignoring the huge heap of crashed bikes at the far end of the course ;-p
@@babboon5764 Don't negate the skill out of a need to elevate yourself by spitting out wanna-be technical information. It's rude and petty.
@@mustbetrue1602 I defer to your lifetime expertise of being rude & petty
*But my comment unlike yours is ACCURATE*
@@mustbetrue1602 What in the world does "wanna-be technical information" mean?
The 5th Gen Honda VFR. Sublime. A beautiful sound from the v4 engine with gear driven cams. No abs or TCS. A purists motorcycle.
Awesome, I couldn't tell it reminds me of the v twin vtr
I was just about to comment that is that VFR. Not that much knowledge about Honda's. Thanks.

From which years?
@@aurboda 1998 to 2001. Mine is a 1999 and still as gorgeous today as it was 25 years ago
Japanese cameraman skills are also worth a mention here.
Rookie
what skill
This was uploaded 8yrs ago. Cameras back then was junk. This was probably taken from a mobile phone.
Cameraman is from Zanzibar - how presumptuous of you.
Not hard unless your an ape though, is it? And that's probably an insult to the ape.
The skill required when you’re constantly chasing ramen delivery drivers
Lol
When a 125cc scooter can escape a 800cc supersport
You mean tofu…
Or tofu😂
Or Tokyo drift drivers 😂
Im equally impressed by the fact that they memorized that course gawd damn
It's amazing how far and fast you can progress when you are allowed to lay down bikes repeatedly in your training. Absolutely KNOWING what and where the bleeding edge is for your bike, tire adhesion limits, behavior in all weather conditions, etc. It's incredible. Nearly everyone else who rides can only nibble at progression and limits. It takes years to achieve only a fraction of what these guys can do in months, if ever. The constant supervision of top notch experienced motorcycle police and outside instructors with years of experience and who give you feedback in real time is remarkably effective. There are all sorts of videos on you tube of drilling and competitions. The way they can exploit the handling characteristics and get every last bit of performance out of the bikes is nothing short of remarkable. When you can actually see it you realize how little of a motorcycles performance most people ever truly get out of them. My father was one of the very top Enduro riders in the 1960's, 1970's, and early 1980's He raced triumphs in road races and flat track. He also was a top hill climber. I mention all of this because at 83 years old he still rides the pants off of most guys in their 20's. In his prime he was one of the best. What he could get out of a bike was so much more and so much more effortlessly than other guys he rode with. He could make a two stroke, sing through the woods and could thread the needle through trees and over stone walls that others could only dream of. That's exactly the caliber of what top notch police riders can do. Not bragging. Just trying to be able to get others to be able to wrap their heads around what they're actually seeing.
this. i did advanced training the other day and the instructor told me that police bikers write off several bikes a year cos they don't care. get a new one the next day!
Yep. A lot a people ride shiny, chrome bikes and brag they've never dropped it. My bike is cracked and scratched and many people think I'm a poor rider. Until they ride with me. My skills are middle-of-the-road and I still smoke most riders; it's because I actually practice.
Well stated! I'm "everyone else". I think I'm going to sell my bikes because I can't figure out how to learn where those limits are! I see guys doing 70, 80, 90 on curved highway ramps but my brain just can't trust the physics and I just slow down to 55 on a ramp curve where I"m staring at a 4 foot cement barrier and a 60ft drop. I thought about getting time on some dirt bikes where I could constantly find those limits and drop the bike without damage, and although it would help train certain skills only some would translate to street riding.
@@hughgodfrey9933 you said a couple of interesting things...
Ine of the things about riding is, generally speaking, you go where your eyes look. You can be AWARE of what's around you, but you really should be concentrating on where you want to go. So, to use your scenario, you KNOW the barrier and drop are there, but you are also abreast of them at a certain point. If they are lateral to you they can't hurt you. But the car in front of you can if you drive into it. Which is a distinct possibility if you are not looking ahead. You also have to be certain of the arc you are cutting when you are leaned over. What's the line you chose? You picked it for a reason. Have faith in yourself. The other is dirt bikes. Riding dirt bikes will make you a better street bike rider. But, riding street bikes will not make you a better dirt bike rider. Knowing how to use a clutch is huge. However, uts pretty astonishing how differmet they are. Going from dirt to street is a huge leg up, from a balance standpoint. Being able to pick your lines and use "body english", are key. So, hold off on getting rid of your street bikes and enjoy getting out in some fields or dunes. You'll be glad you did. Go out riding with experienced guys. Do lead/follow, snd pick their brains. Be honest with yourself (which I believe you are). Don't let ego get in your way. Lastly, take professional instruction. Go take a prep course for the practical (road test) and listen to the instructor. Find out where there are classes near you and learn on a small single cylinder bike with limited power. You have experience. So, some aspects will be very easy for you. However, what you lack is confidence. Confidence in your bikes, as well as yourself, and what you can do in various situations, scenarios, and conditions. These courses and riding with experienced riders will be revelatory. At the end of the day, riding may simply be not for you. And that's fine. Just give yourself every opportunity to be successful at it.
Please understand I'm not talking down to you in any way at all. I just don't want you to short change yourself. I think you can do this, Man. Good luck.
I can almost see Pi Mae standing on the back of his bike hitting him with a cane each time he moves less than perfect. (Remember Pi Mae didn’t like the Japanese)

My thoughts exactly
First just let me thank you for posting it. While stationed in Okinawa as an MP, I had the tremendous opportunity to be one of the 6 motors MPs in the Marine Corps. (As far as we know, the only one in the entire armed services). I know from first hand experience that the JPs Motors officers are some of the best riders in the world having to compete with and against them. in their police rodeo.
I would also like to mention something the video doesn't show. Both mainland Japan and Okinawa dont have quarry's, so in order to get raw material for concrete they use crushed sea shells. In dry conditions the normal day to day road traffic wear it down and a very fine powder is formed that goes mostly unnoticed to anyone driving in cars. BUT when it rains, the powder becomes extremely slick until it can be washed away. This goes to further the point as to just how impressive these officers skills are.
Understand this, with the exception of maybe CHiPs. 99.99 percent of US police departments motors units have a very strict "No Pursuit" policy, they almost always only work during days, and are either assigned to motorcades/escorts. Or are pulling radar in traffic.
The JP's (and USMC) mission was the total opposite. Motors exists almost solely for that purpose for many reasons. One being the sheer gridlock traffic that prevented a police car. (We would ride whatever it took to get by, sidewalks. Name it). Because of the traffic many civilians used motorcycles to get away from the police, once again motors mission was to prevent this. We worked DWI checkpoints at night as often as we worked days, many times with the JPs and the motors officers to run down people that attempted to run thinking a Turbo skyline would win. We handled the SOFA status tagged cars and bikes, them the Okinawan's.
Thank you so much for bringing back memory's from, one of the best two years of my life. I so deeply regret not taking many pictures or video. I have only one of me and two fellow motors MPs. (Searching to find something to show my kids is how I ended up here). While driving the other day my kids say a motors competition and we stopped. They loved it. When I told them I use to do it, they seemed to be unable to comprehend the thought of "old" dad doing something that impressed them. Lol

A Great read!
Thanks for your kind words Mike 5. This is the reason I share these kinds of videos and hearing that it touched you makes me feel blessed. Ride safe brother and make sure your children do too. I'll poor a beer to you space thanks for your service.
this is fascinating, thank you for sharing
ieatgluealot Good info. Maybe I been wrong for years...but I always thought cops on motorcycles were MOTOR officers. You write motorS plural. Not being a smart ass at all...but which way is correct?
ieatgluealot I guess this was back a while, I fear times have changed now, the shirobai just seem to come out on sunny days, and are basically speeding fine traffic offence collectors now. gone are the days when the shirobai would chase down the bosozoku and give them a kicking.
That's a great cameraman, standing still but captures every second of one crazy motorcycle on a rainy day. Salute!
Great tyres,great set up of suspension,great rider .. you ain’t getting away from these guys in the rain 🌧
Good example of the saying "you have more traction than you think you do"
If you know how to keep it!
Followed by "Hold my beer, and watch this!"
not rly,every time i tought i was at the edge off grip and tried to push abit more because i tought i was just being a pussy and had more grip, i always started sliding around, being on a bike or car, its fun, but so far my gripOmeter seems to be adjusted fine
And then there are my Chinese scooter tires laughing at me, waiting to slip every turn i make.
You have more traction than you think you do, until you don't
"Looks like it's raining. Guess we'll have to do this tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? You think it won't rain when you're on the streets?"
"........ you serious?"
"The streets wait for no weather beetch, saddle up pony boy"!!
The sad thing is I probably wouldn't do it better despite it being dry.
@@joelnilsson7129 Dont feel bad these guys do this for a livin' ya know
@@gagida1829 I know it's their job but like the course in itself shouldn't be to hard but i'll probably fail it anyways. They do this in rain so I am kind of bad.
Same for the courses here in Australia to get your license, it goes on regardless of weather
This, ladies and gentlemen, is called "SKILL"
Awesome skills on show here. They make it look so easy, which it definitely isn't! Also, I really miss my VFR, it was a great all rounder and spent a glorious week in the French Alps just having the best time. It was pretty comfortable too as I did a lands end to John O'Groats in 16 hours for charity. Swapped it for the vtec model, but regretted it !
Its amazing to see him open up the throttle and lean at wet surface and didnt slide the rear tire, almost like magic.
Traction control turned way up.
Thats why thery call it traction control...
@@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641 they had traction control 8 years ago?
@@aravindhanveeramani6142 yes, old people had traction control.
@@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641 🤣🤣
I've been riding motorcycles for 30 years and if I tried that I'd either be on my ass after 10 seconds or lost!😂
If you find footage of motorcycle cop training you can see they definitely get their moneys worth out of those engine/crash guards in the first few days of training. Only way to know the bikes limits is to exceed them then play with them.
30 years !! Any advice as to how you’ve been able to ride so long ? What bikes have you owned ? Any falls ?
@@mikeMcoa I started riding when I was 17. Advice for a 17 to 25 year old would basically be to slow down. From 25 onward remember your reactions are not what they used to be so slow down and think ahead. As you get older you realise you're not as good as you thought you were, this alone can keep you upright on the road. I normally have 3 or so bikes at the same time. I've owned about 70 or 80 bikes. The only bikes I wouldn't sell are the Ariel sq four and NSU Quickly (my fathers first and second bike) The Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa (the unrestricted model), this has not been over 80 or 90 mph for about 15 years.
In fact I've not been out in the rain for years, or been much over the speed limit on the road, if you want to ride like a hooligan do it on the track.
I've had quite a few spills on track days but never really any injuries. On the road I've had 4 relatively moderate accidents, dislocated my right shoulder a couple of times and minor leg injuries.
Thinking about it I have friends who have had worse injuries snow boarding and skiing. My father gave me one bit of advice, he said treat everyone on the road like an novice driver including yourself! Well, he didn't say novice driver, he said idiot!😁
Got my first gas powered bike when I was 6. Little Honda 50cc mini bike. First street bike was a 94 gsxr 740 a3 in black and red. I've owned probably 8 bikes in that time, im now 41. Still riding, still love it! And I am good! But I've never been challenged on that level either lol
Damn!
@@mikeMcoa start on a supersport and have fun while you can. After 30 you start to lose the motivation and you just want something comfortable to cruise. I know some guys who trade their sports tourers for a super naked in their late 40s for some extra kick.
Yes incredible riding skill. Let’s not forget It is also a testament to the engineers, riding aids, tires, instructors, motor pool mechanics and commitment from the department to invest in equipment and training. Remarkable results are seldom just the effort of a single individual, it is the culmination of lots of people working towards a common goal.
What are you even on about lol
That gen of VFR literally has zero riding aids. Not even ABS
I owned a 5th gen VFR800 for a while and damn, I can't imagine being this good on it in dry weather let alone in a downpour like this. Impressive!
Grip Level: Way over 9000!
powerlv to strong
Wolfix punkbuster kick reason: griplevel:9000 chuck norris had 9001
Elite Macarony he said it's over 9000, even if not specified, the amount of grip would be equal to Chuck Norris or WAY ABOVE.
a drop of motor oil here and there would fix that grip allright...this way we just know japanese are clean, no news there...
Grip level: Japanese
I'm goin out on a limb and saying he passed that test
You're not going out on a limb. You're going out on a tree.
hehehe!
The iconic japanese bike flickability in action! How smoothly it leans to either side, sugoii!
It reminds me of when I took my motorcycle test when I was a teenager. It was pouring rain and I asked the cop running it what was the best wet lap time.
This is literally insane, u have no idea how hard this is
the hardest part is remembering where to go lol, did slightly easier courses like this one in drivers ed for my license. but not in the wet and not as fast, instead in baking sun sweating 2 liters in 4 hours. terrible. I'd love to try this though, i think a lot of people would learn it, at least when you only take people who passed their comparably difficult license here. it just takes time and repeating it a lot.
True but on the other hand it's not his first time or two on a bike either.
It's only difficult when you don't practice difficult stuff.
Especially how long hes going. I got bumped by a car on the 14 fwy here in california during rush hour and i did this for a good 20 secs straight around cars and beetween them and avoiding the center divider that fell off to a drop below idk how far but i didn't wantbto find out so i head back in to rushour to make a few more of these manoeuvres and end up beetween two cars then i finally hit something, witch was the car on the right of me. Never laid the bike down somehow. Im glad i reacted in time to save my ass about 7 times in that 20 secs. I was exhausted. Sorry for the long story lol.
its not that difficult as if you'd try it with a bike without traction control and abs. Here a computer takes care for the wheels and doesnt allow them to slick or get blocked. It would be impossible without traction control and reality difficult without abs
The hardest thing for him was probably to know where to go...
+HQMazzive no, they learn it by heart. like speed boats.
exactly
But fear of getting it wrong would b bring to much dishonor
only penalty
Dishonoru*
I've been riding for about a year now and this shit looks like magic.
It is!
One of the best demo vids I've seen
Thats amazing! I would never have believed a bike could do that in the wet!!!
You should see my wife when she is wet lol
DatCat I mean on the bike pff LOL
+Motorcycles Vancouver LOL!
I would never do that in the wet either, the backs on these boys must be aching overcoming the forces during these turns...at 40 they're all get back aches and slipped discs..
Exactly! I'm more surprised a bike can do this, than the rider being able to pull these maneuvers off.
If your job involves chasing Supras, skylines, rx-7 at tremendous speeds you better have those skills. Really impressive display of skill. Good upload! Cheers
And don't forget, Honda's, Suzuki's, Kawasaki's, and Yamahas...
motorcycle police do not chase cars in Japan. They do have special units that drive unmarked cars that will chase. Typically they don't chase in Japan though.
Used to ride all year, through all weathers and if your smooth you can stay sunny side up with great ease.
I doubt I could ride this well in perfect conditions. Amazing.
...I don't even corner that well on dry roads... haha!
I know right, and throw in a little rain and I pretty much feel like walking it around corners :)
I'm exaggerating of course.....maybe
*****
I dunno i'm pretty hard on the throttle in the rain too but i'm on a dualsport bmw
I dont even corner that well in bed while dreaming lol
Thats pretty old to take your first dump. You must have been really uncomfortable your whole life.
I and two others on the interweb are the only ones who saw what you did there.
IIRC, Japanese police use VFRs with bar risers on them. The VFR engine is great for traction, especially in the wet. The time between power pulses gives a little better "hook-up" than a typical inline four. Amazing riding regardless, and I'd love to see motorcycle gymkhana in the US.
A good comment finally.
VFR
They also use CB1300's.
yokiniqu Ohhh, that japanese Police woman use a CB1300 for Gymkhana.
addicz2 Might be a bloke I think. VFR's and CB1300s are used by police here in Japan. Bloody shaft.
Brilliant, pure confidence and skill!, many thanks. Gérard lacey in Ireland.
Let’s not forget to respect the gift of modern tire technology!!
Tires… suspension… and most of all, the skills of these riders!!
Interesting how he's leaning in for some turns and counter leaning with others - skilled👊🏼
🤩 you almost have to stay perpendicular to the track in very slow turns because there is not enough force to prevent the rider from falling off his bike. And in some vicious corners before straight-line acceleration, the rider straightens out. This puts the weight back on the rear wheel and naturally increases traction.
Loads of riding the clutch too.
Nice to see no burn out, wheelies and drifts for once, just pure forward movement with absolute efficiency, proper skills
Yep old race car drive once told me , if you lose traction, you lose the race ,,
I have been riding for 40 years.
I'm not bad!
These guys are from another dimension!
Thank you, great video & highly skilled cops👮 👮.
This was killer; and really inspirational. I've never seen handling like that anywhere. Seeing what a bike can do with a skilled rider makes me want to get there.

Memorising where to go is already impresive!
Very impressive. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
i think this just shows how much traction we actually have in the rain vs how much traction we think we have.
Great video!
be very carful thinking that
@@AbsInABox obviously i realise that these guys are professionals, but still.
@@viktor4757 i just meant those bikes are probably set up to ride for the rain. then sure you have traction. but i can tell you if youre on the wrong bike you have next to none, take it from experience
@@AbsInABox i have a feeling they're just using normal police bikes maybe, but I don't know what type of bikes the police use over in Japan.
And I also think they picked out this video specifically, because it makes the police look good or something. I'm pretty sure they have crashed a few times :D
I could NEVER try out anything like this personally with my bike, this is insanity to the average rider.

- I thought they'd be drifting on some of that surface tho (not necessarily on purpose of course)...must be some really good traction on them tires. 🤙
No matter what bike this guy is on, he’s gonna rockit.
These guys are good and in the rain to boot. I know the Japanese are some of the best racers in the world if you follow World Superbike and MotoGP. I was a motor cop for five years, trained at the CHP academy's famous officer's motorcycle academy. It was stressful because after the first week if you didn't cut it they tapped you on the shoulder before lunch and you were gone without anyone knowing it. Out of 12 student officers, 7 were left after lunch. I was glad I didn't get the tap on the shoulder, it was the best practical learning academy I ever attended, the instructors were top notch and a little crazy, could they ride! My one big accomplishment, I won the slow race on a Harley. Doesn't sound to glorified, but I was happy because slow work is key to better riding. I remember two dudes from Calexico PD, one took an over the handlebars crash when he ran his Harley into a big dirt clod while dirt riding, thats right, dirt riding on a Police Harley, now that was fun! Another maneuver I would never do on my own bike are broad slide skids, but we did them on the big bikes. However, sometimes it didn't work out and you went over the side. Lastly, an officer from Anaheim PD was having a tough time, especially when it came to incline pullouts. We lined up on the banked portion of the high speed track (EVOC?) and did pull outs and right turns going down the line. After the line was done you pulled back around and assumed the position on the track again, but this time one bike length closer to the guard rail. As we got closer to pulling out the Anaheim Officer started to anticipate his turn by reving up his throttle, I knew at that point he was in trouble. He was to the left of me and when it was his turn to pull out he reved the motor then made the mistake of letting the clutch go to quickly. This sent the bike straight ahead crashing into the guard rail and sent him over the top of the handlebars and the guard rail. His bike's front tire got wedged underneath the guard rail, bending the wheel. He was shaken up, embarrassed more like it and needless to say got a tap on the shoulder and was gone from the academy. I heard he was allowed to come back for another try, in fact I saw him up there the same time I was attending an accident investigation course. I was really rooting for him to make it this time, but unfortunately he we was released again. Nice guy, but could have been a liability to himself or others under enforcement riding conditions. My hats off to the CHP and the professional attitude and dedication to the staff of the Motorcycle Academy. I can't believe I attended the academy 38 years ago, we were the first class at their new academy off Hgwy 80 in Sacramento, Ca.
Great story. Although I had a ' big bike ' i.e. a Yamaha 1100, I most remember and enjoyed riding my Yamaha SR500, a single ' thumper', 29 BHP, with which I would go 'Super-bike' hunting on the windy Mount Tam road in Marin, north of SF....I would do everything except ride right up their tail-pipe, super-bike, custom leathers and all.... their vastly superior top-end was no advantage on a road where going over 35 MPH meant soaring off the road... the narrow, light SR500 handled wonderfully under those conditions...

DEJAVU!

HIGHER ON THE STREET, AND I KNOW IT'S MY TIME TO GO!
Takumi-ku!!

You’re not getting away from these guys. Amazing skill.
Great riding. Great bike too. I used to have one of those 2000 Honda VFR 800 in yellow.
Like an artist with a paint brush, he painted a beautiful picture of skill and ability
Those little ninjas are so agile.
Samurai on motorcycles
***** Assuming you didn't get what I meant.
***** Only problem with reading, can't always tell.
So very very agile
***** Still, EXTREMELY good balance/maneuvering skills.
Superb! Watching again!
I had no idea you could control a bike this way. And what a cool looking/sounding motorcycle!
Thats pretty impressive. Goes to show how good riding skills can get with the right practice and dedication 💯
I really like the course. It has slow and fast turns and the rider perfectly showed when lean and counterlean can be used. Great video!
If I could give this vid 1,000 thumbs up I would! OutSTANDING riding!!!
Love to know how they get this good, living in the UK with a very wet climate this would come in handy instead of cringing everytime I go round a sharp corner
Riding in the wet can get interesting especially on track days when everybody else goes back into the sheds when the rain comes which meant I had the track to myself, brilliant.
Great riding there
If there was another word for skill, this video is it
Talent?
wish I could ride like him...awesome skills police-san!
This isnt just a display of biker skill. Its a display of great road surface development too. 👌
I'm amazed nobody tried to ask what kind of tire they using
It’s obvious, they must be using Michelin Pilot Road 4 tires 😀 those are the best
but there some country with cheap budget that want this police type of performance with poor bike and bad bike
Tyre
@@drnaredla257 Really? I haven't get to try those yet. Anyway, I guess the thing would be all over the place if they'd put some regular tires on it
@@vantrius_ Top brands with deep groves for that much wetness are a win.
...anything but shinko.
The way he leans so much before actually turning, damn. Master of trail braking!
What amazing skills. I would be super happy to have a tenth of his skill.
Wow I own a Honda vfr 800 and they are not light !! The way they flick it around corners they are very skilled indeed
How is this traction even possubru? Do they cast magic on the tires?
+Mozart Also, rider skills (throttle and brake modulation) you and me can only dream about...
+bishplis if you can scale these skills to a bicycle and record a video I'll approve your point.
bishplis yeah show us your riding skills then.
Bike weight
There is strong friction between two smooth surfaces.
Me contento em subir na moto, dirigir da minha casa ao trabalho, voltar e já é complicado. Imagina chegar nesse nível de pilotagem ninja.
just incredible talent. I can only dream of being that good :D
Hey Japan, physics called and said it has laws you can't break.
Hahahahahahahaha
Lol
Honestly more exciting than actual bike races... mad skills!
They've got good tyres on them, brilliant work.
They are really devilishly good at handling their motorcycles, I have seen many such videos about Japanese motorcycle police. They have all impressed a lot, whether it is wet or dry.
absolutely impressive at the amazing control..excellent job
These guys blew my mind to much not to share
That's a 5th generation VFR 800P, exactly the same as my bike except for the P designation and the engine guards, which are, frustratingly, unobtainable for the civilian version of the bike. I _really_ want them. :c And yes, that bike handles beautifully, and he's throwing it around almost as hard as it can take it. Nice riding!
find a good machinist my go to welding shop can make anything
I was wondering lol they look just like cbr919rr's but sounded like a v-twin, idk why VFR didn't cross my mind until I saw your comment lol
Extreme demonstration of a prefect balance of steering, brake, and throttle control
That's a combination of good tyres & good rider 👌🏻
Traction-senpai noticed this guy.
+Ballistic Turtle Nice icon, man
I couldn't even do this in the dry, damn cone trail looks hard to remember
Very impressive. Great job.
Good surface, tyres and incredible skills
Props to the handling abilities of the 5th gen VFR!
Amazing handling and body work. It looks so easy when its done by master.
Damn, I don’t care who you are or what you drive, you ain’t getting away from him.
Badass.
These guys (Japanese police) should do more motorcycling diaries ... Will be so much fun
