Rocketing around public roads lined with houses, fences and cliffs at up to 190 mph around a 38-mile course is distinctly unlike the relatively safe confines of a modern racetrack.

Check out the S1000RR on the track along with four other videos after the jump.

Check out the track details and a lap video after the jump. Continue Reading »
