Using 3 synched up GoPro cameras, here's Corey Alexander on a Suzuki 600 in Wisconsin. You can almost smell the brats cooking trackside.

that bike have much electronics on it? Watch his right hand, it barely moves. Goes to wide open throttle and just remains motionless.
Maybe I'm doing it all wrong.

Even when downshifting. Four fingers on the front brake, no blipping. Slipper clutch for sure. Do race bikes have electronic rev matching on downshifts?

 I got STM slipper on my R1 , I don`t bother with blipping on downshifts anymore . I do run 3500-4000 rpm idle thought .
 I can`t imagine  600 tuned for RA having too  much engine braking anyway .

Other then that ( plus smooth=fast rider)  , it is Road America . It  basically goes like that . WOT and then brake and turn , WOT and then brake and turn , etc . Repeat it for 4 miles .
Not a whole lot of throttle finesse takes place at RA ( just don`t highside at exits ) . You are WOT most of the time , even on powerful 1000s .
Bring extra 6 gallons of fuel to trackday at RA ( compared to the more normal race track ) .

 Love it .  Bigok

BTW , one more thing , he is most likely using something like 1/6 th of a turn throttle cam .

Agree with tomek. Fast, smooth rider. Didn't hear any electronics affecting acceleration at any point during the lap. He rarely if ever shuts the throttle fully and gets to WFO very quickly without ever upsetting the bike.   Cool

Very cool video but it would have been nice to have the third camera pointing ahead at the track instead of the back of the leathers.

That camera angle is called the "Rossi".
