QUOTE(paskal @ May 13 2023, 09:29 PM) Yes. That AMD 990. A tiger 900 rally pro Thanks for the info.Wet road, corner, downhill. And maybe with someone unfamiliar on the bike. All recipe for disaster QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ May 13 2023, 10:24 PM) Also saw the uncensored video. I feel like getting new riding boots now.... One of the boots came off? I once went test ride with full gear.QUOTE(ajaibman @ May 13 2023, 10:54 PM) Official statement Rider blackouts suddenly, therefore overshooting the corner. I thought from the photos, it looked more like lowside almost masuk longkang.QUOTE(ExCrIpT @ May 14 2023, 10:28 AM) last week during the auto show at MAEPS serdang, they were having a test ride at one of the carparks full of gravels and CFMOTO had like 8 bikes or more lining up just for ppl to test drive. no need sign anything, no need show license...just hope on any bike you like and go Just my guess: I think the forms are for on the road test rides. Closed course test rides maybe less stringent. Quazacolt liked this post

I dunno the rider, I hope he's ok. Maybe he thought it's a bad idea, but went ahead with it anyway.
It's a Tiger 900 Rally Pro? I can't imagine how a front 21 feels like. 24.4 rake and 145.8 trail, means it's easy to turn (small rake), but wants to straighten up (long trail). Fighting to steer is something I yet to experience. From the photo, left boot was removed, and the foot is covered in red. Not sure it's from other parts such as shin or thigh, hopefully nothing internal. Things like this will make future test rides more 'controlled' or 'restricted', hopefully in a better way. |

What if the bike malfunctioned?
QUOTE(muazyusof @ May 16 2023, 02:44 PM) the accident actually happened during dry weather and on the uphill section. only during emergency services came that it started to rain. my friend who was there even mentioned that it was the first time he got so sweaty while working at Genting. and the crash actually was caught on camera tho although not clearly. a rider in front of the one that crashed was recording for a vlog during the test ride and the crash can be seen on the side mirrors. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « It was around the 9:00 minute mark QUOTE(mcdonald13 @ May 16 2023, 03:00 PM) not really clear, but ouch god dang... QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ May 17 2023, 12:12 AM) Damn that's a painful crash. My guess would be didn't lean in enough to make the turn, target fixated at the wall, then panicked and went to the wall? He looks pretty upright for the turn, vs the lead bike kona baring. |

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ May 17 2023, 11:46 AM) I was pleasantly surprised when I rode the 790 adventure. Also with a 21" front. turn in is very good. Maybe the low CoG helped a lot. It's the trail:790 ADV: 107mm Tiger 900 Rally Pro: 146mm |
