Zack’s gear:

It's so impressive to me how quickly Zack can jump onto a superbike he's never ridden before and just rip it around a track like that. Huge amount of respect!

[barnsnoble]

It's so bizarre seeing Zack rip that thing around a track while still calmly giving his thoughts on it.

[joshmxvi]

Just casually voicing his review of the bike while banking at 140 lol

[yammienoob]

Flat out, short shifting while full gas and leaned over to keep the revs in the right spot. Zack’s talent and skill can’t be overstated 🔥

[diegocella]

We can add going throu a chicane at 120 mph while casually chatting to Zack prowess... WE ARE NOT WORTHY!

[AndrewDemonbreun]

This is the pinnacle of moto journalism. It amazes me how you can articulate points about the bike while throwing the back end up braking into apex. Those years of experience really show here!

[Arthurzeiro]

Just like the Kawi's front suspension Zack's brain has two separate channels for riding and reviewing, so they don't interfere with each other. Amazing stuff, gives one perspective on how tame the Daily Rides really are.

[botocles]

Wow. That agility section. Scary going 130+mph there

[grahamnelson]

This dude can carry a conversation while doing 130 with a knee down…

[KharismaRider]

it's so nice to see Zack rippin on the track :)

[Pattayaman]

That was incredible riding skills. It takes steel balls to go over 170+ mph

[Hanky_Bannistr]

You sir are an absolute psycho ! Your skill is very impressive, I had no idea if your ability. Thanks for taking us along at over 170mph !

[izhlayukio]

Zack's just showing off his "reviewing while ripping around a track" skill here 😳

[rockurox]

Meanwhile CycleCruza losing his mind going 40mph on his WR450F

[fastmmw]

Zack is calm and assertive at 160mph. Impressive.
Also his warm up lap is faster than other journalist fast lap

[ravibiswas]

No one can review a bike while banking at 150mph.
Zack: hold my rear view mirrors.

[WCapo]

It’s hard to portray speed on video but Zack had me holding my breath down those straights. Great vid keep it up.

[Strorm.]

I like how you calmy talk about the bike while going 175 lol

[vidster]

Really loved that Revzilla got Zack and Ari on the channel

[awdrifter]

He's talking faster at 100+ mph than Adam Waheed cruising on the street.
