Worth watching how your bike was put together.

Stuart, haven't had time to look at all this (50-mins long) but I'm gripped. Amazing really. I've been mulling why a very traditional configuration is so much better these days (and better than the benchmarked GSX-R) and it's presumably the sum of incrementally better improvements everywhere (like the Sky cycling team). Great stuff.

I ran out of time too, haha... I tabbed through it this morning, I love watching the machining of the crank, nitrogen cold pressing of valve seats and the liquid gasket application among others... superb !

So odd watching abike balance whilst stationary, spinning on the rollers. Understanding the physics doesn't make it less odd to see.

Thanks for sharing Stuart, I have just watched it all the way through (at work :biggrin-new, amazed at the guy painting a pin stripe on a blue tank.
Excellent stuff.

I guess the film was from 2010- 2011?

Suspect this interesting S1R development vid (German language with Japanese subtitles) has been posted before but if not, here it is.
