Here’s a little lesson for you: If YouTube freestyle motocross and off-road phenomenon Joey Mac every asks you to loan him the keys to your prized superbike so that he can run off to 7-11 and buy you both a Slurpee…
Don’t…
Two of Mac’s latest videos seriously blur the line between streetbike riding and off-road riding when he decides to head off into the desert aboard a Kawasaki of a different stripe than your average KX or KLX model. As if Mac’s Alternative Long Travel Dirtbike video wasn’t already outrageous, at least that “choppa” started life as an honest-to-goodness dirtbike. This particular clip shows him putzing about on a full-fledged streetbike, complete with road-racing style fairing. In the videos, entitled 2018 Kawasaki H2R Shredding and Streebike vs. Rocks Challenge, he tests the limits of what he claims is a 420-horsepower Kawasaki H2R by turning it loose, complete with street tires, in his local riding areas.
Sure, more than a few street riders have forayed into the dirt aboard full-fledged streebikes before, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but only a select few have possessed the cunning skills and complete lack of sense to bash a superbike through the rocks… or so he says. We didn’t actually see Mac subject this particular victim to true trials action, but there’s still enough foolhardy action here for Mac to warrant psycho status once again.
