Fucking stupid!

I'm not one of these people who thinks your head is going to explode if you hit 100MPH, but doing a run like that with that many other drivers around is just asking to get splattered. When you're passing someone going 100MPH+ faster than they are, you're taking a serious risk that they'll make a lane change without seeing you, even in a car. These two dumbasses were passing with one on each side, doubling the chances.

Darwins looking for these guys, and I predict it won't take much longer before he finds them.

Looks like BMW set a governor at 186 mph (300kph). Why not just let it go a little more to redline? That speed is insane as it is

Honestly it hhardly looks like theyre goin much over 100mph tbh...

The speed at which the cars n signs were passing by them..

Ive been up to 113mph in my earlier GTI before and it felt insane fast, this video just didnt seem near as much.. Although obviously the rpms and speed indicator couldnt have been wrong

Yup, pretty insane really. On the one hand it's impressive, on the other hand, it's why I totally ignore bikers when they whinge about how dangerous 4 wheeled motorists are.

Gotta say though the 'RR is an impressive bike

edit:

I think if my physics is correct, that guy would travel up to about 650 metres if he'd have hit a pothole... freaky.

I was thinking the same thing as I was watching it. Seemed like signs and other reference points along the road would have been going by much faster. At one point it said 100 MPH and it really looked more like 60 MPH (approaching a car, towards the end of the vid.)

:

In any case, one hell of a bike!

I can guarantee you there are more idiots on 4 wheels than 2. It would be stupid of you to ignore the complaint about dangerous cagers since the people that complain about that are usually not the same idiots that ride like this.

Cagers are almost always preoccupied with something else besides driving and are very dangerous.

That was awesome. Not in support of doing this on roads in the US though. Its different on the autobahn were you can see days ahead of you and there are less major turns. Granted I think the guy was in control the whole time and wasn't endangering anyone except himself.

Its not stupid....Most guys that are doing those kind of videos either get tired sell the bike within a year or take it to the track later because riding like that is boring as hell.
Personally I would have posted a video from a track day if I wanted to show off a bit....
