Cleaning and pressing a bike would be monster impressive.

No I remember he was in a dark room and I believe it was a Suzuki and he was looking down.

Never saw that one before, not sure it's 100% legit though.

The difficulty would come in balancing the bike to be able to hold it over your head....I mean a bike is 225 lb, so it's not out of the question to hold that weight over your head for 5 seconds to get the pic, it would just be a bitch to get a grip and balance it

Holding up a BRP like Summers is no joke!

Summers is a beast. He doesn't even look he's working to hold that thing up.

There's a video of a Man Mountain of a Aussie doing it with a KTM 4t (EXC I think) out there. Above his head, all by himself. Bloody ridiculous! Woohoo Woohoo Woohoo I'm sure there's lots of videos of lots of blokes / nationalities doing it, but one was enough for me. :

Summers is not even that big when you meet him, And an XR 600 is a massive pig to be picking up. He could ride the wheels off of that bike.

With the right leverage advantage, you'd be surprised how much you can carry. I routinely take my 250 out of my truck without a ramp - just hold it up by the left side of the swingarm and walk it out until the front wheel drops off the tailgate. (You have to let go of the swingarm at just the right moment.)

That said, I doubt the Hepler ad is real. What's keeping the front wheel aligned with the bike? The bars would likely turn one way or another - not be perfectly straight.

Moat weight lifters are midgets.

Better leverage ratios with shorter limbs
