In a recent incident caught on video, a reckless motorcycle stunt performed on public roads has raised concerns about road safety and the need for responsible riding. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by thrill-seeking riders and the importance of adhering to traffic laws.

The video, shared on a YouTube channel belonging to a Z900 rider, captured a heart-pounding moment when a KTM rider attempted a dangerous wheelie maneuver. What sets this incident apart is the presence of a pillion passenger, a young girl, who was nearly thrown from the motorcycle as the stunt went awry.

The vlogger, riding a Kawasaki Ninja ZX10 R superbike equipped with an aftermarket exhaust system, documented his journey through the city, capturing the attention of pedestrians and motorists alike due to the loud exhaust note. During his ride, he encountered a young couple on a KTM Duke motorcycle, both conspicuously lacking helmets or any protective gear.

Upon spotting the superbike rider, the KTM rider accelerated and began showcasing his riding skills in a reckless manner on public roads. Risky overtaking maneuvers with the girl on the pillion seat ensued, with her visibly intimidated by the loud exhaust noise. Despite the dangerous nature of their actions, the superbike rider chose to closely tail the KTM rider, both weaving recklessly through traffic and squeezing through tight spaces between vehicles. Notably, the KTM's license plate was not visible in the video.

The turning point in the video occurred when the KTM rider attempted a wheelie on a less congested road to distance himself from the pursuing superbike. Tragically, the girl on the pillion seat was unprepared and unaware of this dangerous maneuver. As the front wheel lifted off the ground, she lost her balance and was perilously close to falling off the bike. Miraculously, her legs became entangled with the footrest, saving her from a potentially catastrophic fall. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the KTM rider swiftly brought the bike to a halt.

Rather than cautioning against such perilous behavior, the superbike rider continued to encourage the KTM rider, exacerbating the situation. The girl, understandably panicked, was seen hitting the rider as they continued their journey. Towards the video's conclusion, the KTM rider attempted the wheelie once more, with the girl now holding on firmly.

While some may find this video entertaining, it underscores an alarming and hazardous trend. The pursuit of thrills at the expense of public safety on public roads is unacceptable.
