somehow he's been doing it for years too

probably doesnt have a plate on it so the only way they can catch him is if he goes down, which he has probably almost done hundreds of times

Buddy of mine showed me his vids. Pretty good rider, no doubt. Also a dumb mother fucker. My answer would be a combination of the first two. I like him, but he's a dumb fuck to do some of that shit.

you can say that again.
he is one of the best riders I've ever seen.

still he could hurt/kill anyone else on the road.
glad he is not in the united states!

incredible riding tho.

It has to be uncomfortable for him to sit on a motorcycle seat with balls that big. Maybe he had some kind of custom "pockets" built into the seat to hold them.

wheelies at 180mph? that shit is rediculous. most of us dont even see 180mph in a car. much less on a motorcycle, much less doing a wheelie. i was nervous doin wheelies at 20mph goin down my road on my dirtbike. i couldnt imagine doin it at even 55mph.

imagine a tranny rebuild on that bike with some different gears and different sized sprockets made for top end. idk how u classify them, but like the equivelant to 273s vs 410s in a car, imagine puttin 273's in a bike if you know what i mean. 500hp on such a small bike could push that thing to even more rediculous speeds if the tranny/rear sprockets werent limiting

250+ easy. the problems are the front getting really light and possibly airborne on the slightest bump, and the risk of a blowout from tires. Can you imagine a tire blowing out from getting so hot at those speeds? You're a dead man.

yea... i bet they could hit almost 300mph tires limiting. a slight bump and your practically flying. just imagine that feeling...

What most people don't realize is motorcycles have REALLY shitty drag CO and they suck on the top end. they only reason they can reach such speed is because of there crazy power levels. Cars are much much better suited to all out top speed

The Drag coefficient of .... a hayabusa, which is the most Aerodynamic bike as far as I know is worse than a newer Toyota tundra pick-up truck

how is it not aerodynamic

lol, let me find you article. I'm trying to find hard numbers for you. But I always thought this was common knowledge until recently lol

bah... i dont wanna read a tech article. explain to me another time

Quoted from Article I have linked to

"It's worth remembering, however, that neither of these CD figures indicate a particularly impressive degree of streamlining, since even a typical passenger car has a CD of less than 0.60 and some models are lower than 0.30. A fully streamlined Bonneville speed-record bike might have a CD of 0.10. Such is the nature of streetbikes, where performance derives mostly from extreme power-to-weight ratios."

Heres the link, very long read http://www.sportrider.com/tech/146_0106_aero/
