Another video here. Clips of Colin Butler (aka newf) on his Blade, Gary Johnson on a GSX-R750 and Michael Kongaubon (aka Mickey Walker) on the second Herbert Hoffmann Aprilia RS250 on the fast downhill left-hander at Kaeng Krachan.

As Colin pointed out when I posted this on Facebook a few hours ago, the tighter lines taken by the two more powerful bikes set them up for the right hand kink that follows this corner, enable them to flow through without feathering the throttle, whereas the wide line taken by Mickey enables him to keep his momentum up.

I shot Colin and Gary in late November and Mickey last week. Here's the video:
