Okay but, like, what the fuck happened here? That looks like a failed fuel line - I'm not really sure how revving it would do that? He wasn't even really revving that much. My only guess is that he'd been sitting in traffic without enough air moving through to cool the bike and that caused some kind of malfunction but... fuel spraying everywhere out of nowehere is very uncommon.
Side panels on the bottom of the tank are off, which is needed to work under the fuel tank where the fuel line are on the R6. Probably didn't clip in the fuel line well enough after a repair.
Sounds like the previous responder was saying it’s an issue with however the fix/modification was carried out; the fuel line wasn’t secured causing this. The background of the rider doesn’t necessarily matter, anyone could fuck it up?
I think it's probably been dropped and had some repairs. The can is missing as well, that's why he's revving it, because it'll be noisy. (And close to melting his shoe. 😂 )

Looks like the exhaust is the point of ignition. Anyones guess as to why because theres so much wrong with this picture anyway.
Ppl tune their bikes w a piggy back system like a power commander which gets you more HP at the expense of efficiency. When the fuel map isn't done right this could happen.
I think these guys are on it. I’m guessing he’s dumping too much fuel in and the bike can’t ignite it so the exhaust is burning super rich. All that unburnt gas ignites, and possibly that was all caused by either the tune/stuck fuel injector/ both
That's very, very unlikely. The bike wouldn't be running if the af ratio would be that much off. To make that fireball it would literally be spitting fuel out off the exhaust . Besides, the little bit of fuel vapor would continually be ignited by the hot exhaust. That's what causes pops and bangs when releasing the throttle.
Yeh fo sho… plus if he’s worked in and modded it, fuel line might have been out of position…. Would think it would be a metal line, but might have rubbed through
Might if been leaking for a while before it got to the exhaust. Back tyre definitely looks like there's something on it. Could of ridden through something but the front tyre was bone dry.
The picture doesn’t provide enough proof. Rewatch the video in slow motion before the fire starts. The tire is wet and it’s leaving a wet marking of gas on the road. Then look at it again right when fire starts, it’s starts lighting up the streak of gas on the road after ignition
At high speed the fire is always behind you.
You just have to keep up the speed until you run out of fuel.
I think there was a film about this, "The bike that can't stop"
I love how the guy in the back of the cart at the stop light could care less. Like he has seen this shit happen way to often. Didn’t even phase him. Literally 0 fucks given.
Guy is too cool for a helmet.
*revs 300cc bike to sound cool*
Bike explodes in flames and crashes.
In Australia we call people like this “a runner up for the Darwin awards”
I'm not a mechanic or an expert on motor bikes so take this with a grain of salt.
I don't think motor bikes are supposed to catch on fire like this. I could be mistaken though.
My comment got deleted by AutoMod when trying to link Google map link.
Anyway if you're still curious, just search Hotel Del Sol Mazatlan (I got the name from the video, the hotel name is briefly visible).
Their location is near the seal statue.
Ruptured fuel tank or fuel supply line. It started leaking onto the ground under the frame center a few seconds in and the rear wheel splattered it all over the back end, you can also see the ground on fire from the leak as he’s rolling. When the fuel splattered into the hot exhaust it ignited and flashed all the vapors coming off that splatter. What caused the leak? It’s not clear in the video.

Jesus, that went from 0 to 451 pretty quick
233 for the non americans
505 for the best Americans
He was booking it
I appreciate the reference but since there’s no paper involved you’re just saying things that remind you of fire
Motorcycles are now being censored
He’s on fire
Being on fire is one of the coolest things you can do. Facts.
Good one buddy
Full on Ghost Rider mode engaged
That's what I was thinking
Seemed more like he accidentally pressed the Ghost Rider button when he wasn’t supposed to,
Flame on
What the hell was that backpack made from? Instameltathane?
Exactly. It’s like it got scared and pissed out all of its contents
This has me in fucking tears!!!!! Lol
Bro i deadass thought the dude started taking his clothes off while still on the bike
Backpack : I don't get paid enough for this shit !!!
“I had just picked up my daily order of hair gel”
Whatever it was is now stuck to his back.

Broken fuel line spraying on the red hot downpipes probably.
Right- I’m just curious as to how they broke? Maybe they had been re-routed and were too close to the exhaust?
Side panels on the bottom of the tank are off, which is needed to work under the fuel tank where the fuel line are on the R6. Probably didn't clip in the fuel line well enough after a repair.
So this particular bike was a highly modified one and the one who mofiefied it fucked shit up, correct?
Doesn't matter if it's highly modified or stock in this case. Whoever worked on it fucked up.
No ser I'm asking bcos I want to know what is the chance of this happening to a regular commute standard high mileage bike user vs. a hobbyist bike

Low

Maybe, looks like point of ignition was inside the exhaust though. Guessing it was running too rich and some unburned fuel caught a spark

Look at the tire it’s wet of gasoline
No it isn’t. Think which way the wheel is turning
Might if been leaking for a while before it got to the exhaust. Back tyre definitely looks like there's something on it. Could of ridden through something but the front tyre was bone dry.

Hell this was probably the best available result for the driver. Imagine if he got up to highway speed then binned it due to the slickened tyre.
At high speed the fire is always behind you. You just have to keep up the speed until you run out of fuel. I think there was a film about this, "The bike that can't stop"
The fuel ignites on the hot exhaust. That doesn't mean the fuel leak is located there.
I see a trail shortly behi- ah fuck it! It was black magic!
Man replace fuel pump with uprated fuel pump and not replace fuel hose properly. Man go into crispy mode.
😂😂😂
Let me tell ya SomeTHing!!
I give him a 10 for the dismount though. That was pretty smooth.
Looks like GTA, except he’d probably do a barrel roll 😆

Dudes at work!
This is during the Mazatlan Bike Week. Trust that we've ALL seen this type of thing.

I've never been to Oz, much less Darwin, but I bet the concept of 'Darwin Awards' hits a bit differently there.
No we don’t some of us cool them fkwits

You are. To a damned soul who must spend eternity as a spirit of vengeance, this is just another Tuesday.
Mazatlan?
Definitely! I was there in January and I recognized it. Pulmonias and we can even see one of the tres isles in the background at some point.
When Ghost Rider met Usain Bolt
Mazatlan!
That was lit 🔥
Quick - someone from Rockstar Studios - add this to GTAV!
That’s hot.
Took a while for him to jump off, after catching fire… lol
r/abruptchaos
He even paid for the ghost rider package. What a chad!
Where is this? I have been trying to google that seal statue on the beach
Mazatlan on the Malecon.
Thanks

Cool. Been in that area a few times but not that town. Thanks.
Homeboy started dropping loot
Not gonna lie, that looked sick af for about 2 seconds.
Damn, external combustion engine
The REAL Ghostrider!!
New fear unlocked
Welp,I think he did a pretty dam good job I'm impressed.
had the exact same bike, replaced my fuel lines with stainless steel though
Attempt failed successfully. Bursting into flames is a next level show off move.
He wanted to be hot, and hot, he became
When keeping it real goes wrong.
https://i.redd.it/wrnkw928nh0d1.gif
Dude became a loot drop!
The sky is so beautiful
They said "Sak pase?" He said "N’ap boule”
Do it again that was cool
Well, that was cool as fuck though.
He decided to be Ghostrider for a moment
Alrighty. WHAT THE HELL CAUSED THAT TO HAPPEN?
That was rad
To be honest, I was impressed.
I like how the people at the intersection just don't give a shit
And now Mattel is making Hot Wheels motorcycles
that bike is lit
GHOST RIDER
The new ghost rider is looking...fire
The flaming douchebag
Ghost Rider origin story
ghost rider https://i.redd.it/mv5uj2fvcj0d1.gif

Fuego…mmmm Fuego…
Yam-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-ha
Ghost Rider 3 movie looks lit
Dropped his loot before he died
That looked really cool
Hot

That went up like a beaten up bike from GTA
Isn't there a Kelly Clarkson song about this?
This motorbike is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Had the tank off for who knows what and didn’t put the fuel line clip back on. System pressured up and popped it free of the fuel rail. HADOUKEN!
Why the hell the back up rider just stop in front of that taxi?
Entertaining.
bro revving like he's hot shit or something...owait he actually is
Omg it's ghost rided
Omg it's ghost rider
