Some proper dickhead riding there.... Overtaking on blind crests/ double whites/ blind corners in the wet... Not cool, just leaving it all down to luck.

First live mapping session on two wheels hey?

Perhaps we can put Autronic on my Busa and you can livemap it seeing as your experienced at this already.

Would love to hear Anna's opinion. LOL

deffo kph, for two reasons, he goes past the last truck at 70 on the clock and is only just faster than the lorry, second reason is imo i think you would have to lean into the corners alot more at that speed than they are

176 on a bike is probably like 100 in most car's in the time it takes to reach it etc.

sorry but I don't agree there, the speed isn't really a problem, but the overtakes are pure stupidity, if he went through your windscreen and headbutted you at 100MPH+ closing speed I think your views would change!

some of those overtakes were a little on the silly side.

in the 7 months i had my thundercat (600cc) i regulary brushed 150 in the wet lol, all on motorways tho as i had a good 25 miles of m4 on the ride to work every day

i once had it flat out in the dry, but that was only 160 lol

it all came to sudden stop tho last year, at 45mph

deffo is mph too in the vid

What a pair of cocksuckers, no respect for any fooker else! When the guy hits his max speed, he can't even keep it on his side of the road! Too many bikers seem to think they own the bit of road that oncoming traffic occupies, as well as their own.

does look like a circa 1999 R1.. I've had a couple, bikes aren't like (most) cars, that sort of speed on a 1000cc sports bike is easily obtainable and not as scary as driving a car near those speeds IMO. Also it's worth noting that a more modern 1000cc bike is a good bit faster than that, my zx10r would have eaten my old R1's over 100mph.

Theres no way thats a genuine 176mph, the bike reaches the top speed far too quick after he overtakes the other one and he turns it far too easy, he's defintly flat out in 6th gear though, you can count the gear changes from the start of the video. I reckon he must have a much bigger than standard rear sprocket to get the speedo reading that speed. My mate has a gsxr with a 57 tooth rear sprocket which he can get to say 186mph on the speedo everytime he goes out when in reality it actually only reaches a top speed of 117mph!

Great aren't they

I used to work mine off the limiter all the time to marvel at it's top speeds for every gear

Pretty sure mine would only manage 108mph in 1st off the limiter, was yours the newer underseat model? mine was the previous model.
