I often wonder why more people don't ride motorcycles. After all, you and your buddies can assemble them in a garage in a matter of hours. What's not to love about that?
I mean, that's the sense I get from watching this video from Yamaha, in which mechanics from the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha team assemble an R1 superbike from the frame up in a mere five hours. For our watching enjoyment, the whole process has been sped up so it takes about a minute.

The bike, which runs in the AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike class, then proceeds to hit speeds well over 150 mph on the track. See? Everything is done fast in motorcycle racing.
