If I saw a local dealership pull something like that, I would definitely not give them a penny of my money and they would more than likely get a brick through their window.

I have been searching for a motor for a buddy's 1100 Spectre. What a waste. I bet they ride a Harley and thought it was cool to burn up a "Jap" bike. One more classic gone....
Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

I was thinking the same thing till I saw the Kawasaki chair. Now I think it's just a dealer trying to get Beevis an Buthead on bikes. Thanks that's all we need to improve our "biker image".

Well, just one more well deisgned I4 down the drain.
I dont know if they ride Hardleys or not, but you can bet they are all on whimpy VTwins and have no clue what they were destroying.
I think they were all suprised it took so long. Should tell them something.
They are lucky the tank didnt blow, I was once stuck in rushour traffic in Houston for over an hour on my 81 Tourer. I thought I wasnt going to make it. I pulled into a gas station, opened the gas cap and WHOOOOSH! Gas flew into my face and up into the air several feet. Serious pressure there.

Yes it looks bad but has anyone considered that it may be a planned test by a KOW dealer? Ether for the bike or some other product.
I saw NO OIL puddle develop under the bike or appear when it "popped" . Perhaps the intent was to show that the bike is so tough that it can run that long at red line with NO OIL in it. In the beginning it looks like they were careful setting the RMP rate.
I don't think it's a blatant "Let's go destroy this bike" sort of thing
