Yeah there's this guy who got clocked on his Honda doing 205 mph. Anyways it is kind of obvious to anyone who knows anything about motorcycles that this is not possible on a production motorcycle. He has posted in different places and the only modification to his bike was a slip-on exhaust system. The thing everyone seems to miss though, is that this number should not be taken as exact.
The error involved in timing someone over such a short interval while moving in an aircraft (I am a pilot, and I don't think this would cause too much error but could contribute) would account for an erroneous measurement.
Just a wild guess I am saying up to 15%, or around 30 mph. 15% of 4.29 seconds is like a half to three quarters of a second, hence easily a lot of error. If the guy was going like 50 mph, this error would only be like 5-10 mph.
Taking the 205 mph figure as exact is wrong, I think, and if the police/judge/whoever did so, that's just wrong.
In any case, as a lot of people seem not to notice, the guy was still going way too fast on a public road. Who knows the exact number but it's gotta be something for a cop to even begin to think he was going 200. I think got what he deserved. Motorcyclists get a bad rep from the 5% of riders like this guy.
Anyways...
