[@Dan-gg8fk]

After 50 years of riding all kinds of bikes ( five as a motorcycle cop) without a single accident the idea of 200 mph on a public road really scares me. I've investigated a number of fatal motorcycle accidents and it's usually because of speed, lack of training, equipment failure, blown tire, engine explosion, thrown chain or striking other vehicles. All of those conditions could have been easily avoided and a number of fine young men would have been alive today. Like Dirty Harry said: "A man has to know his limitations". Live to ride, ride to live. Stay cool my friends.

[@MmmHuggles]

Speed, in and of itself is fine. It's the slowing down too fast that will get you, or meeting an object moving too slowly in the wrong direction. Don't hit anything and don't stop too fast and it's fine. The problem is, the faster you go, the less time you have to react, and the human brain does have limits and there is a lag time between our sensors (eyes, ears, etc) sensing and brain figuring it out and our brain making a decision on that. Personally, the fastest I've ever been with a vehicle is right under 100mph. Don't trust my sensors enough to do more lol. I'm much happier around 45-55mph.

[@starseeddeluxe]

When you wake up in the middle of the night, half awake, you have a sudden lucid thought: you should sell all your motorcycles, and never ride on the street again, and probably never on the dirt either. Then the next day comes and your partner wants to go on a ride, and you realize that you can't sell the bike. There's something so special about being on a mountain road, alone in nature, with no walls or barriers. It's a constant inner struggle, as you can never shake the feeling of danger, but you cannot imagine a life without that beautiful machine.

Riding that fast on a two-lane, undivided road with multiple access points and driveways is suicidal. I once rode my 2000 929 over the Fred Hartman bridge in Houston at 140 MPH, and it felt as stable as the chair I'm sitting in as I write this. But the only reason that wasn't suicidal is there was no way anything could have gotten in my way.

There could have been something laying in the road like debris or a car part or whatever, and that could have caused you to crash if you suddenly collided with it.

I pushed our ambulance up to 142 and that fucker floated like a bitch. Long story short, we were the closest ambulance and there was a call for a 2 year old that kept stopping breathing and we were 45minutes away per GPS. No surrounding counties could send an ambulance and the chief was on scene and told me to "get there NOW". We got there and kept him breathing and got him to a children's ER. But oddly enough the chief sent all the units in to the shop over the next week for "service" and they all came back with governors on them. It turned out he had placed trackers on all, the units the month before and didn't tell anyone. He was OK with us pushing 90 and such but he told me later when he saw me hit 137, he thought he was gonna have a heart attack. No one would have survived if we had made contact with another vehicle at that speed. Hence the governors. He thought about writing me up but him ordering me to "get there NOW" killed any chance if I filed a grievance for it.

[@nfortin24]

Only to the animal

[@calsbarn5996]

@@nfortin24 No. A bird hitting the aluminum wing of a small plane at 125 can do enough damage to cause control issues and thousands of dollars of repair costs. A windscreen hit often goes right through. At nearly 200 MPH it’s about 2.5 times the force. I suspect a hit to the helmet might take the rider’s head off. A hit to the bike would probably cause a lose of control. I’ll change my mind if someone has done it and lived.

When I read "Hayabusa" in the title, I thought it was the SHINKANSEN Hayabusa, which is the fastest train in Japan and runs at 320 km/h (200 mph) on regular service between Tokyo and Sendai. And I thought the thumbnail was odd since it didn't look like Japan.

I was riding one of the first crotch rockets, ‘78 Kawasaki 1000 with a turbo charger in ‘81. It needed the old premium fuel (they called it Ethyl then) but you couldn’t get it in ‘81 so it would crap out at 135. It had 160 on the speedo.A friend bought it and put 100octane aviation fuel in it and got scared at150.

[@IRONHEAD12701]

My friend and I drove his 300Z on a 2 lane highway and we topped out at about 160. It was a life changing experience. The lines on the road looked like dots, we drove past a state trooper who never bothered to turn around and chase us. We went back home on the back roads and heard that road blocks were set up to catch us. It’s only been about 35 years since then, so I think we got lucky 🍀 and got away with it….. that time.😂

If you slow it down and stop it right before it passes by you can see that the bike is really low to the ground due to downforce on the front fairing.

My friend did this last year. I saw him the other day. He gained a bunch of weight. The ambulance dropped him off to see his family that lives in the same complex. They need 6 guys to get him up and down the stairs for doctors appointments. They make all kinds of noise too with the backup siren on the ambulance. We were talking and I learned that when you are completely paralyzed (for life) sans one arm, your body does not heat or cool itself anymore. Things you take for granted, like sweating. So when he runs a fever from sitting- for life, it is a very big deal. He spends his days and nights otherwise in a bed, in a sketchy section 8 apartment, all alone. His neighbors will steal his expensive chair to get cash for drugs. It's a bad scene. His new family has mostly left him. He was a young, good looking and funny guy. A good rider- but rode too fast. He had just landed a great new job too. Funny thing, he was about to sell his bike. One last, high speed ride on a sunny day. Docs say he will continue to decline and have more issues as he gets older. He takes all kinds of pain drugs. There is no hope for any recovery. I sold my bike. Yes, it was fun. I was more lucky than good for the 20 years I rode but I do not want to push my luck. You simply cannot control other drivers. No regrets. Stay safe out there. Don't be impressed with speed.

My Pop bought it for my older brother as a graduation gift when he received his commission from the U.S. Air Force Academy. He still has it and it is in mint condition. At these speeds, there is no time to react - I didn't know any better, so it was my brother who chickened out!! Good thing . . .

I used to do the same thing down country roads and when I look back I cringe. I stopped when I hit a crow flying across the road. I was doing just over 100mph, nothing like the guy in the video, and it hit my hand. I was trying my best to maintain control and it took everything I had to slow down and stop. That couple of seconds seemed like a lot longer. Broke two bones in my right hand, and I stopped chasing that thrill of doing something that you know full well if it goes sideways you will die. I got a second chance, and I didn't squander it. I'm glad my son never asked for a bike because I would have become a hypocrite and said no.
