Probably NOT! I've seen everything from R1s to Roadkings to Golwings and back pull this off. You just have to be patient. One trick? You don't have to brush up against the cones do you?

Man, wish I had this when I took my MSF, this and the 90 degree turn were the only parts I screwed up.Of course... a 250cc Honda Nighthawk and a 750cc Triple are two different bikes, I'd have blown it bad on the XS! ... or, would i?

Thanks for this video :)

Very nice video. I would add that learning to hinge at your hips is a massive assist in close quarters weaving and turning like this. I actually use the offset to teach hinging. One last point, I wouldn't recommend the plastic water bottle for use as a cone... if you get a wheel on that while leaned over it can wash you out.

Well it's easy if you follow the capt advice and keep your head up. It's hard when you do the first instinctively wrong 'technique' of looking down at the cones... At least that was my before/after experience. Seems like head position is the all important difference, and knowing those little tricks in advance sure saves lots of painful trial and error.

Before I watched this video I was uncomfortably swerving (and passing 75 percent of the time) with my head down looking at the cones.When I kept my head up looking along the cones through the end of the course, i easily skimmed through the course 10 times in a row perfectly.Great Tip and an awesome series of videos I am recommending to anyone that is thinking about learning to ride.

Good times! Thanks for the video!I took my test the other day on my NT650 Honda (Hawk GT). I had no issues until I stalled the bike AFTER clearing the last cone. My fault, I put tooo much rear brake input at the last cone (whoops) Only 4 points lost though. Didn't hit any cones on the entire test :) . The hawk was great, but I wished I could test on my KTM motocross bike!Only two out of 7 passed, A scooter rider, and myself. Everyone else rode MASSIVE cone mowing cruisers. MXMatt

Cool. That's a big single isn't it? I love thumpers!
