pole position

That looks like a C6 RS6, stock 580hp, chipped/exhaust/race cats ~ 750 chp..............heavy but a absolute monster on the Autobahn , with the right tires the speedlimit is 340 km/h aka 209 mph...

My 951 with chips and test pipe will smoke the rs6 and the ninja from a dead stop

964-C2

Youtube videos says 700hp.

Yep bikes are not about top end - they'll top out about 300 kph but it's how quick they'll get there that is the impressive part not the actual top end. But any litre bike in the twisties on the road and I don't care what car your driving (Veyron or anything else) it won't stay with the bike!!

Heheh well that definitely all depends on both the rider, and the driver.

I'd argue that you're more likely to find a car driver that can keep up with a bike, than the other way around. A lot more goes into riding a bike fast than turning the bars.

Also realize that, on the track, cars carry a LOT more corner speed than the bikes do. They simply have more rubber on the ground. The bikes make up for the lack of corner speed with acceleration. I know this - I raced bikes for many years before I got sick of the hospital bills and added 2 wheels to my track vehicles.

Jim speaks the truth here!!! I've had bikes dog me only to back way off into a corner

I finally looked it up on my phone (can't see vids on my work computer)...yikes, that's sick fast! It had my heart beating just watching!

Regardless of German Autobahn, better drivers, better driving habits(!), etc., etc. just not sure how I would feel blasting by people in the VERY NEXT LANE! It is possible that I have seen some high speeds on our freeways BUT only with multiple lanes of clear traffic...whipping past vehicles at 160+ in the next lane. Ugh...

A "speed-o healer" will make a modern sport bike speed-o say just about anything you want it to with a couple flips of some dip switches. That bike was not going 300kph.

An F1 CAR will be much faster than an GP bike. 3000lbs of downforce will do wonders on your cornering speeds. Also, as mentioned, look at the tire contact patch difference between a car and a bike, worlds of a difference.

does it make the rev counter sit in the red and replicate the sound of a flat out motor?

2 or 3 extra teeth on the rear sprocket will do that .

User 52121

That too!

You see videos like that all the time - some guy puts a dirt bike sprocket on the back of his Hayabusa then goes running down the highway with a video camera. Everyone says, "OMG he's going 210mph!!!" Then the video shows him getting off the highway and rolling through traffic on a side street and the speedo says 85...

Lightningmcnulty

Not sure why you'd bother when you live somewhere that legally you can do it and you have a machine that capable, also the 80mph traffic wizzing by doesn't lie.

It is the autobahn. No speed limit. People drive freaking fast in the slow lane.

That ZX10R will do over 300. My 98 zx9R did 294km on the air strip at my old fire base. The strip was well over a mile long and 250ft wide. Elevation 2985ft.

Driving that fast happens all the time there.

Not trying to start an arguement I just know it's not that unrealistic to be driving that quick there.

I do agree though that the video does not give the appearance of speed.

Where would one find "the" autobahn?
