    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.

      That is awful. That looks like a perfectly good bike.

      I am impressed at how long it runs though. They should include a Harley running at WOT right next to it and see how long it lasts!

                  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....

                    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".

                      It's a snuff film and should be illegal!!!

                      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

                              I just checked the video out again and the guy on the left hand side of the bike has a stop watch in his hand .. This was some sort of test.
