Those high speeds sure give a pucker factor when viewing it. Funny how WATCHING it gives me the 'out of control someones gonna die' feeling while DOING it I totally dont feel that way. Must be the adrenaline of the ride. Think I might just stay away from that Hwy, and stick to the tighter stuff I normally hit. When I do the roads like those, I normally hit up the Rockport to Winthrop Hwy - just like the one in the vid, but zero driveways or sideroads, and winding around mountain peaks. 
Man, I'm starting to sound like a old lady. lol

Who says zx14s can't turn!?!?!?! Guys who can't ride a big bike. My bike lives in these West Virginia mountain roads. I've made some video and believe me those guys were flat moving, Video never captures true speed or lean angle on the camera bike.

You might think the ZX-14 can turn but I rode 100 miles on a Ducati 1198S yesterday and when I got back on my 14 it felt more like a Goldwing. Everything is relative.

Hey Bob, how does that 1198S compare accelleration-wise to your 14? With its claimed power to weight it should be a good matchup. The 1098 wasn't much of a match, even though on paper it should have been. At and over 100mph my 14 could reel it in with ease.

True perhaps in comparison to few lighter bikes out there. I have friend who just recently got an Duc 1198S in red, awesome looking bike but wow, pricey @ $21K.

Sticks, I don't think it would be as quick on the strip but on the road it felt as good as a 14, only hampered by the lighter weight and short wheelbase. It just loves to wheely. At the top end I think the 14 would win. We would need to do a side by side to know for sure. The best thing about the 1198S is the handling, the Ohlins suspension gives you so much feel about the front contact patch and moving your head left or right is about all the steering input it needs. The road tests I read where they said you only need to look where you want to go are dead right. I loved it. Expensive here too at around £16,500.

Great video!! The angle really shows the speeds better than from the top!
Are we really that nutz with trees, guard rails and all on the sides of the roads here in Thailand?? Frickin A!!!
Love the camera shake on some of the turns. Know that feeling and live for it.
Especially cool was the passes on the straights, later moral bikes, 14 comin through.
Was boot scootin around Dewatto, Tahuya with my favorite dragracer , this week. Gravel, dust, sticks etc. Needed my MX gear from all that crap bouncing off Me!
the 14 is just getting thrashed on the tight stuff. probably should hang a plate on the track bike for my neck of the woods.
But I'm like what BobC said. Love the wheelbase and weight, the 600 feels so nervous in comparison.

Ehh Old Guy, the 14 even in my hands cant hang with a smaller more agile bike in the tight stuff. Close enough for street work though.

I think it's the vision, or the lack of. You can't see what's coming through the camera lens until it's on top of you. But then again, things come pretty fast at 160+...

Great video. Do you know what type of camera and mount was used? It was very steady.
