Aside from the myriad of traffic violations on this video, this is one of the reasons people hate motorcycles. When you ride like this you just piss off everyone else on the road, makes us all look bad

There is a big difference in riding fast and riding fast with about 0% margain for error. This is clearly the latter. Also I think he changed his sprockets since the speed is much slower then indicated.

well i disagree . Here in the us there a a alot of dirt bikes that will do 125 mph. So that dirt bike doing 100 mph (160 kph) is realistic. As far as the speed it's hard to show speed on film. look at nas car there going 150 mph and it looks like 55 mph.
But i will say they have balls for riding that way. me and my friends do it some times but only for a mile or two.

I've seen worse, those guys obviously know what they're doing and you'd be shocked to see how some people ride/drive in some european countries. These guys are a bit crazy, but not totally reckless. Several times they stop to wait for traffic, maybe the blind curves are not a good idea but it's hard to get a perspective of what you can/cannot see when you're watching through some junky camera that's stuck low behind a windscreen. The only beef I have is with that moron on the dirtbike... what the hell is your foot going to do at that speed? He's gonna break a leg and get ripped off the bike when he hooks a pothole or scrapes the pavement too hard.
Check out how this guy handles rush hour in Russia. THIS borders on insanity and takes lane splitting to a whole new level...

I've seen this movie before, it's with this guy who got a new R1 with an added feature; I think it comes with a small plastic bag for what's left of your brain. i think the video isn't in realtime and slightly sped up. GOOD TIMES.

In my opinion, it is not the total abandon that these riders show for their own lives that is a problem: if they want to kill themselves that is between them and who ever greets them in the next life. The issue is that they are risking OTHER people's lives. People who might have children who depend on them, or perhaps even children in the car that they spatter themselves on...What gives them the right to do that? How can anyone disregard life so much that they risk lives that don't belong to them?
My only hope is that when they do make a mistake, not IF...when, that the only casualty is them.
