Yeah the 7 was badass but it had pistons

I guess you need torque for this kind of driving...

I don't think I'd wanna drift a motorcycle..... When I was 10 I was goin down a big hill on a bike (pedal bike) and the front wheel randomly just fell off and I skidded about 50 yards after going over the handlebars. Even though I have gotten over my slight phobia of going fast on things with 2 wheels, I think drifting one would still freak me the hell out haha....

That video is awesome.... Thanks for posting that up!

drifting on a bike is ok until your rear wheel gets traction -- then you're about to find out why a highside hurts.

reason #1 why you NEVER come off the rear brake if you happen to lock it up

I drifted it pretty nice all the way around the corner... just going from sliding to traction is a tricky process... my bike got a little banged up all cosmetic fairings) and I broke a few bones but nothing major, damn thing kicked me up 6ft in the air. I was back on the bike a month later. Drifted it again a few times but not as sideways as those vids your posting.

I bet you didn't use the clutch to modulate your traction :p
