Yep. Run the odds long enough and you're gonna get a hit, and those odds on display on that video ain't very long.

Back in the days my '88 Ninja (on which I rode 40,000 miles before it ate the cams for a second time, Kawi top ends were like that back then) would only do 140 maybe 145. Considered pretty quick at the time.

Screaming past cars like that is just rude, shows a lack of class and consideration, I would only floor it on empty stretches of highway. But still, 140 looks about like that video, and all you hear is the roar of the wind. Get back down to a mere 80 or so and you feel like you could get off and walk.

Craziest thing I personally ever did was 100 on a KLR650 dual sport (long downslope) two-up with my wife on the back eek
