FAST ride on a Bike

As a VERY experienced rider and former roadracer, I am very skeptical as to how fast that guy was actually going. Don't get me wrong, he was hauling, and one wrong move by either him or the other motorist and he's history. I have had my 02 GSXR-1000 going an "indicated" 185 mph and I can tell you that there is no way you can manuver that fast at that kind of speed.

By the looks of how fast he was going I would estimate that he was around 100 to 125 mph. Again, still fast but NOT almost 300kph. The guy seems to have a death wish for sure.

Over the years I have known a few guys that thought they were a combination of Evel Knievel and Kenny Roberts (yes I'm showing my age) and most of them are dead! Guys that do that kinda stuff don't last very long.
 
we had a couple of crotch rocket riders out here in the South end of the city.They always raced up and down in and out of traffic.Well one of them finally got nailed.While doing his stunts a car cut over and that was it for him..deader then a doornail..enough said!!
 
Definitely not too bright. But you can see by his tach that most of time he was about the middle which in one pic was 202 kph. So like Macheater said maybe 110-120 avg with only going up close to redline a few times. He was really modulating the throttle though which means he was paying attention, not just riding balls to the wall. Still you would never catch me splitting between cars like that. All it would take is somebody like my wife to catch a glimpse of him in the mirror and freak out and jerk the wheel and he would be toast.

That's what I was going off. You just couldn't read it most of the time so I referenced it by the tach which was easier to see.
