Much as the speed no doubt was impressiveI'm always sceptical of the speedo reading of bikes where the speedo runs off the gearbox

that's not that fast at all actually - didn't watch video but 300kmh is not that hard on a good sports bike - mate's R1 hit 175mph ( 280kmh) on the back road from Timaru to Geraldine in 5th gear - he still had 6th left but the undulations made him a bit cautious and he knew if someone had pulled out from side road he'd pretty much be in a paddock or dead cos of it !SO HE BUTTONED OFF

Sorry chris, but most modern bikes now have their speedos driven by an electronic pickup on the gearbox output shaft or sprocket

Since the video is nearly 2 years old, there's a fair chance that rider is dead now. Anyone who regularly rides at 300+kph on public roads, is pushing his luck.

Im more impressed with the black car that was infront of him and was pulling away at around 230km/phr!

Hell yeah, that bmw was probably doing about 250-ish when the bike shot past him, nice and easy, hard case

Chris--I sell about 30 bikes a year and modern sprot bikes have the speedo driving off the gearbox. Theres a product specifically desighned for people who regear (change the gearing) on their bikes called a speedhealer. Its adjusted to suit different gearing.But trouble is guys don't use it then fit wheelie gearing. The real top speed is a fair bit slower than indicated

Yes I have all his videos though I recommend searching "uppsala run" which is the best ride he does out of all of them. If I remember right he rides from Uppsala to Stockholm, a journey of over 60km in less than 15 minutes!

thats a big fake
the fastest he ever reached was on the eylesee's straight & that was about 140 kmh

who are you kidding
sure bikes reach 240 pretty fast, but at anything over 240 you can be bounced off the road so eaisly
& the list of bikes that will actually hit 300 isnt that big either

I did 70.7kph down Tunnel Hill in the rain today on my bicycle. I love the smell of lyrca in the morning??

Looks like it alright, Very clever use of a low camera angle and another engine to give the illusion though (most of the time).
This is because after it was released, speed governing to 299kmh was introduced.
