is this normal???http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=8WeggQKbszk?

Listening to a muppet who could not even put a hat on was the latest of his errors.

He cannot have wasted much cash on that heap though, seemed to be held together by cable ties.

Yes. There are hundreds of videos of beginners looping the bike.

This bike will do 60 mph in first gear alone. That makes getting moving hard. The tall gearing on first gear alone makes a sport bike a bad machine for the beginner. Beginners NEED a machine that will just start moving at or just above idle

Rider has NO idea what he is doing. The so called instructors (cough) have no idea how to instruct. 600 cc four cylinder sport bikes are terrible machines for the beginner.

One of the FIRST exercises at a MSF Beginning Rider Course is how to use the clutch. This is done on 250 cc machines.

See the video in the last link. The real instruction starts at the 3 minute mark. What do they learn first? Using the clutches friction zone. No throttle, just clutch. That is NOT what was done on your video.

I don't think it was a new bike.

If it was I would not be impressed getting a new bike and it has cable ties holding it together where the screen should have been.

The bike was way to powerful for what they were doing.

They were such bright instructors they forgot to tell him to do up the helmet, which surprising did not come off.

Over all a group of fools and not this is not what a normal motorcycle riders would do, if it was we would all have killed our self and each other.

Yes...if you do NOT KNOW what you're doing and trying a powerful motorcycle that's out of your league and NO; If you're experienced piloting a very powerful and beautiful Machine that flies near like a Wingless F-15 Eagle!

Yep.

Uneducated instructor

Too powerful of a bike

Zero experience

No gear

Mix them together with a little testosterone and you end up with this.

It happens all the time. Learning to ride safely requires proper instruction, and an appropriate (low-powered) motorcycle. Fortunately, the "rider" doesn't appear to be badly injured, and the bike was already messed up.

I wouldn't call it normal but it does happen. I've seen a 30yr old woman flip a 90cc scooter trying to take off. That's why it's good to start on dirt bikes. I flipped mine with someone on the back.
