Don't think you legally can but people get away with a lot of stuff on the roads there, you'll even see 4-wheelers from time to time.

I'm guessing that what you guys call June bugs we call Christmas beetles down here, do they look like this?:

Yep, and it makes sense calling them Christmas beetles if you're in the southern hemisphere.

It looks like the video took place in New Zealand, and he's an American, so left-side-drive may have messed him up a bit.

It never surprises me when drivers try to merge into my lane, I used to get mad but it happens too often. I guess some people merge first, then look to see if they killed someone.

A lot of riders got hosed up by trolley tracks in that vid so it's probably best to treat those with respect wherever you find 'em.

That I know too. I spent way too much time a gear above where I should have been, too. But at least that was deliberate.

You're over-revving it while shifting up, try to lower the revs a bit so your clutch plate doesn't have to fix your mistakes.

Nfcknblvbl

Hammering the next gear in while the revs are high sounds pretty dangerous, I'd say practice clutchless shifting on the street at the mid-rpm range.

I've only experienced false neutrals from shifting up. Must be terrifying to be in a corner with no engine braking at all.

RCR did an SV650 review.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I_QwDoRI6M

I agree with most of what he says, 'The SV650 is not a beginner bike'. It's been 10 years since I sold mine, and I do miss it. I've never been as confident in corners on any bike as the SV650, it just handles so drat well.
