Thanks for posting Bob, I seem to remember seeing that back in the day.

Thanks for posting that. Really interesting and it was something I was totally unaware of.
I recall getting a weave on my CX500 back in the day and now understand what was happening.

Blimey I'm glad I could only afford CZs as they certainly never wobbled at 85 on account of not being able to reach 85! I can't honestly remember bikes being that bad and wonder how much of this was filmed for dramatic effect. I know motorcycle handling wasn't great in the 70s but none of my fast mates reported such violent weaving.
Great film though and very entertaining.
