This shit is cool even though its been done already with snowmobiles...I can still see it becoming widespread however among the extreme sports enthusiasts...Cross country races that involves rivers and lakes...I wonder what action movie is going to copy this soon?...

I'm consistently more and more impressed by what extreme sport enthusiasts come up with to do. This looks awesome

One wipeout though and you're expensive bike seems done for at the bottom of a body of water

Would be easy to keep afloat with a cheap portable buoy system then is just recovery and depending on the bike a bit of time to dry off..

Yeah but usually a flooded engine is the end of an engine. Not to mention rust setting in and whatnot. I'm sure they have methods in place it just doesn't seem very good for the bike. What do I know though, they're the professionals

The thing I'm most surprised about it that the grooves on the wheels are enough to make bike reach such a high speed. I can see that they're modified, but it's still more than you'd expect.
