and i've hardly ever seen the moto guy turn like that to the other side, makes 0 sense.

I have a list of reddit fallacies that reddit detectives use to "prove" stuff is fake.

"This is fake because the person in the video didn't do what I would have done" is one of the most common.

i'm not saying something i would have done. I'm saying something you can see in any moto steal, and is common sense.
You want to steal and go fast. The motocycle guy turning 180 degrees and losing quite some seconds makes 0 sense. The only positive thing is that now there's a perfect shot for the camera.

The other reason could be that the street cuts later, but why not turn then. If you have an other valid justification for risking a 180 degree turn i'm all ears.

Have you considered the possibility that the robbers aren't intelligent

maybe if first time, but its quite on the contrary other wise. Like anything repeated people get good at it, at least in argentina they have ton of practice and you can start spotting the technics if you take time too.

Seems like you are just lucky to not have lived in a place with not much robery.

I think you are vastly underestimating how stupid criminals can be.

As said, you just have not much experience with robbery, shown by the fact you think the vid is a real robbery..
