This is a really amazing video. I'm guessing he hit at least 180+ MPH. Do you think he got a ticket or 2?

Well I for one don't think a spy in the sky is fair play.
The guy was riding fast but actually pretty safe, you could see where he hit the brakes a couple of times so no to cut anyone off ( OK so he may have got hurt as well) and the rest he passed before they knew he was there. It wouldn't be so bad if it was at least a police helicopter, the news team were only hoping for a gory accident which never happened. Good citizens I guess, they know all about freedom and want to uphold it.
Speeders are really up there with child molesters, drug dealers and murderers

Was that the guy tagged in 2004 for a supposedly 205mph? Started the internet ablaze with stories that an RC51 could only do 185.
Or is this a new guy?

I think the newspunks feel slighted because they don't have a bag and a gun.
Big brother wannabees.

You can really tell the news guys are just hoping for a wipeout...

Makes me sick he's going so fast and endangering innocent peoples' lives, but it makes me sicker that the news company is getting off on it.

I know some people w/ latest ultra-sportbikes, they go flat-out for long distances, like 40-50 miles @ top end on GSXers, R1's, ZX10, Hayabusa w/ pipes and carbon fiber etc. They call it "The DEATH Ride"

You can get used to riding quite quick, quite quick.

When I was working in shop in late 80's it was nothing to take GSX-R or Yamaha 1000 for a test ride and hit 130~140mph for a couple of miles, sometimes several times a day on different bikes (even an old Wing will do 125 in third)
It may be anti social, but, why do we ride?
I don't think its for cheap transport.

While visiting a buddy in a nearby town Saturday, he showed me a video on his computer. It was of a guy on a Busa running up to around 200 on the autobahn and popping wheelies now and then while doing it. I mean that sucker was flyin'. I don't know where the video was from. He also showed me some guy (in Checkslovakia[or however you spell it], I think) that was in a contest, popping wheelies and up on the front wheel and doin all kinds of stuff on a 900 Ducati. This guy also used a trials bike and finally a trials bike with no front wheel or forks! He won the contest. I'll have to find out where it was from and post it. Not something I'd do myself.

I used to commute from Stuttgart to Frankfurt and back every day, this was done on a FJ1200 and later a GSXR 1100 with a 1260 kit.
I lived 5 minutes from the autobahn and worked right off of it, total mileage right around 130 miles. I usually took off at 5 am to beat the traffic and had a couple of minutes to spare for a cup of coffee before I walked in the door at 6 am.

bill440cars · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2007, 07:53:26 AM »

Yeah, I've heard some tales about the autobahn. Had a buddy, that I met while in the Army Reserves back in the 80's that told of him and a buddy in a 69' Hemi Charger doing about 150 and getting their doors blown off by another car, and to this day he still doesn't know what it was cause they just flashed their lights and blew by them like they were sitting still!

Now a properly geared 426 Hemi powered car ain't no sloutch, you know?

Later on, Bill

Yes but the German cars will do it for hours on end, try that in a musclecar such as the charger and you`ve got catastrophic engine failure. Most of the american cars I owned over there were bought from GIs that couldn`t keep up for long with the little GTIs.

The guy had a pair on him OK. The chopper was pacing him so if the chopper was flat out it was probably just under 160mph. Which is fast enough. Choppers can't go much over 200 Mph.

Awesome - excellent rider

- the way he abandoned the bike and equipment and tried to disappear and also had a hat to put on, seemed like something was fishy was going on - stolen maybe. Wonder at what point he was realized he being shadowed, hard to think there was enough time to look around and up, especially with a hemet on. Have to admire his courage though, hoped til the end that he would get away..

They got the wrong guy... the real guy had long hair, a beard, and a Harley tattoo.

Man that is one fast bike. Thanks for this awesome video. When I was in HS back in the 70's my buddy Craig out ran the County helicopter in a very slick handling turbo Datsun 510 - but at night w/ the lights off and down shifting to slow down so his brake lights won't come on. I was in the passenger seat and it scared the hell out of me! I kept saying just pull over you crazy SOB and let me out. I give him a hard time to this day.

My dad makes regular trips in the middle of the night through Alligator Alley here in Florida. Quite a few times he's been passed by car shaped blurs, running top speed with no lights on. Drug runners with night vision goggles on.

Where is it?

So-Cal! Between downtown Los Angeles and Pomona. What I want to know is what time of day it way, surprisingly light traffic for those freeways

Whats really funny is that the local news, and not the police, had the faster helicopter
