Why not post the whole quote? 
If you believe the entire quote is gospel then you've just proved my point. How many NC30's do you know that can manage 155mph 
As I said, internet conjecture
The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.
At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.

Well an RC30 owner pointed out on another forum that it took about three miles for his bike to get up to 155mph . Also, if you do a search, everyone has said that the speed looks like a 100mph impact, as at 155, it would have just disintergrated the bike, and believe that the Police are exagerating etc 
. And 99% of peeps also think it is an NC30 .

So part of that statement is completely accurate but another part is not, depending on which part you need to suit your argument
Really this is another mute point though because even if the rider was freshly qualified if the situation in Sweden is anything like it is here he is (was ) more likely to be a middle aged, white collar worker with a decent amount of disposable income.
Enough to buy an RC30
