Ummmm..
It’s a bit hard to see how steep that grade is, but is it really too bad ?

That type of railing in second vehicle won’t keep anything much from falling through/down the mountain side!

They are always steeper than they look in video.  I won't be mounting the tires necessary to ride that kind of terrain.  That is what my Van Van is for.

I'd be hard pressed to do that on an enduro bike let alone a V85TT - impressive.

I ride a dirt bike a lot and have for many years. The road itself is not too bad but of course it could be much worse in real life. The real challenge is getting a big heavy bike to make the turn and get up the hill without tipping over. That can be really challenging if you have little to no dirt bike experience. I ended up on a road that would have been easy on the dirt bike.....but I was on the V85. Stopped at a couple of creek crossings to make sure they were not very deep. Surprised I did not have the seat cover pulled off I was so tight, :O As usual after I made it I had to wonder why I built it up so much in my mind???

Seriously? That's the most banal video I've seen for years.

If you're not living on the edge you're taking up to much room.
