I have ZERO tolerance for people that drive like this on public roads.

It's fast yeah...but when you pass a truck doing 177 MPH you are inviting death. I live out on a nice curvy country road. I see idiots like this all the time on their crotch rockets.

I bought a 1983 GPZ 1100 back in 1986. I took it up to 150 when I had some flashing lights behind me. Well, they weren't behind me for very long, lol. I thought that bike had some power, but these new bike's are just crazy with power. They are a heck of a lot of fun, but can be dangerous also. Out on an open road like that, he's only going to hurt himself if something goes wrong. Looks like fun.

Not true--if someone pulls out in front of him, the bike would t-bone the car and the front tire would be poking out the other side. Meanwhile, any occupants in the seats would squished out the far side. All the king's horses and all the king's men...

Yeah, it's fun. I did 160+ back when I had a bike. I've matured since then.

I thought all rice rockets were governed to 185mph. The aftermarket has ways around that though. I used to have a Katana 600 that topped out at 140. That was more than fast enough for me.

300 KPH actually... (= 186.39 mph)
I've had a GSXR 1000 up on the limiter.

But that's not a law in Asia or anything, just an EU mandate & a gentleman's agreement among manufacturers.

I used to think 90 was fast enough on my bike before I sold it.
