This is at Loudon, track I know well, by my calculation he's doing about 1'49 laps.

In the right hands a Goldwing is a pretty capable bike, believe it or not. I saw a guy slaloming at a bike show once between traffic cones and was shocked, really. Granted its no R1, but they can hustle.
There's a video somewhere on Youtube where a guy took a supercharger from a Subaru and put it on a GW. Thing flies. Scary.

Now that's just hilarious, but I want to see him do this with his fat wife on the back, pulling a trailer, with American flags and tassels flying.

I saw the Gap video, I think it's sped up, that 1000 pond bike seems to change direction faster than my SuMo weighing 1/3 of that.

I don't think it's sped up. The audio sounds reasonable, and the opposing traffic does, too.

Not 100% sure of this, but I think the guy on the SchoolBus Yellow Wing had his bike fitted with cameras and would shoot video of other riders on the Deals Gap road. Kind of a mobile Killboy.
So, he's ridden that road more than Groove has ridden the T-Slalom.

I've seen first hand what a Wing can do with a capable pilot, they can corner embarrassingly well. A lot of people get their Wings after riding for decades on sportier machines and Honda knows it.
That Victory luxobarge does pretty good too, ask Goose.

Yup.
I've scraped pegs in the twisties on a brand new 'Wing.
