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

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

i confess ive done 176 on jackos old k5 gixxer thou
the speed comes on soo quicky , were talking seconds , i was only at that speed for around 12- 15 seconds ( bloody fuel light came on , )
but this was done on a local dual carrigeway , eairly eve, barely any traffic whatsoever , i mean i didnt over take a single thing i 2 miles !!
but having ridden alot of bikes ,
i genuinely feel 120 on a bike dosent feel that quick , i used to do it on my ninja without even crouching ,
but 176 did lol
and im sure jacko got a wee bit more out of it lol .............
time and place for stupid speeds imo ,
beef

its weird have 100 odd doesnt feel quick on a bike lol, me mate has just passed his test and bought an r6 so obviously the words "go on then throw us your helmet" were said when he was wheling it out the gargae, so of i go in jeans and a jacket and whop it round to 155 which is a little silly but it seems like fun at the time

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.

apmsl @some of the replies on here ! i personally thought they were riding like a pair of pussies .lol
the thing that made me chuckle the most is when the twat on the r1 got stuck between the white lines and on the cat eyes , those fuckers are slippery at that speed . i bet his ringpiece nearly swallowd the bike lol.

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.
