Bandit 1216 Turbo Horseshoe Pass Ponderosa cafe

Helmet cam view riding a Suzuki Bandit 1216 Turbo with friends on a rainy day on the Horseshoe Pass Ponderosa cafe. Chilled out ride enjoying the views.

Whoa! Thats wild after ive riden one for 24 years. My balls cant compare.

[@nc29biker]

Haha you would love it I'm sure. It was a bit slippery in this vid though.

[@ratsausage]

Very interesting. Does this just have the short slash pipe from the turbo rather than a full exhaust and if so what happens when the coppers take an interest? Can they do you for it?

[@thedownhillerboy]

😲😲😲That thing wants to wheelie the hell out of the box as soon as you twist that throttle,it sure is scary when you're just watching the video on a comfy sofa instead of actually being behind the bars riding that thing...Is it possible,or should I rather ask if it's safe enough to be able to pull wheelies up on that 🏍️ bike still?

Hi it was a fun 5 years but I did crash it doing a wheelie and didn't make the bend as I put the front wheel down late. I didn't respect the bike that day as I got so used to it but though my own stupidity it bit me hard. A week in hospital, many broken bones and months of recovery but still glad I had it in my life for those years. It wasn't all or nothing the power was quite manageable, hence why I could ride it in the rain with care lol

@@nc29biker Hi there,thx for the reply as I was feeling really curious about what your answer would be.I was thinking you would say something like 'yes one can still do wheelies with it while being extremely cautious hence the power output of it' or maybe that you say 'no, there's no way anyone can do wheelies on this turbo-equipped bike because the power output of the turbo comes out too sudden,too intense for one to be able to control it without crashing'... I sure wasn't expecting you saying that you actually had a crash while doing a wheelie and even more that it was all because you put the front down too late before a bend, so your description totally got me cringing like 😬x😬x😬.I imagine that when riding a turbo-equipped bike straights end up becoming so much shorter to the point where one can easily miscalculate stunts like wheelies if not careful enough... I totally understand when you say that you don't regret a thing regardless of the crash you had. I hope you healed all your injuries right and properly👍🏻, respect from me all the way from PortugaL🇵🇹 over to you and to all the work done to the bike🏍️👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻‍♂️.
