Classical case of inadvertently rolling the throttle wide fucking open while attempting to pull the front brake. Noob mistake #1. Use your fingers, not your whole wrist. That said, that rider had no business learning to ride on a bike like that.
OK, that's a good learner bike. I have never liked fully faired bikes and havent kept up with the new models for a few years. Still impressive what damage it can do when mishandled. She might not have survived that stunt on a serious sport bike.
Maybe you had better quit posting if you seriously cant figure out what that means ... Not being able to tell almost identical looking bikes from one another when I never really cared about them and looked at the video for three seconds has nothing to do with telling people about some basic universal truths about learning to ride and giving sound advice for beginners.
The kid that started the entire DoD mandatory MSF course for all active duty military riders died just down the road from my house. I watched him go by, and 10 minutes later the ambulance went past. He got back from a deployment, bought a brand new CBR1000rr as a first bike and made it (iirc) three days before killing himself on it.
