Sweet, Yamaha should be hella proud that their bike survived that. I liked the part where his bike is shitting mud out the tailpipe

Looks like he went with standard street tires, wonder what he would've had to do to run knobbies

There is another video of him out there with studded tires on the bike.

And as far as the reliability of the bike, he's replaced quite a few parts on that bike, like the internal parts of the engine, large parts of the bike in general (cracked swingarm anyone?), lots of other shit?

His website has most of the details if you speak dutch.

serious... all you'd need is long travel suspension... you're already removing all the other shit useless shit that adds weight... granted it'll always be a heavy sob... but I don't think it'd be that bad
