The deer looked to be badly injured by the collision but the rider came away unscathed.
However, the rider’s bike had extensive damage to its front end.
The rider wrote on YouTube: “The second day of the bike trip, 800 miles from home, hit a deer at 54mph, the FJR stayed up!!”
Youtube users have applauded his skills in staying upright on the bike.
One said: “Well done for keeping it upright. Scary how quickly it happened. I didn’t see it at all and would have been like you looking through the corner.
“The lesson here for me and probably others is to keep protective gear on at all times no matter how tempting it is to remove them for a break or if it’s really hot.
“In an instant life can change. Glad you’re okay and hope your hands are okay.”
But other users have criticised him for not wearing gloves.
“Unlucky! and Lucky! But seriously wear Gloves as well! You have everything else by the looks,” advised one YouTube user.
It is unknown whether or not the deer died as a consequence of the accident.
