Fun to watch! Thanks for posting.

I wonder why the 918's acceleration slowed down so significantly after 150 mph

I wonder what the drag curve looks like for cars.

Bikes are quick between 30-170mph but surprised at how well it performed in this company.

I'm guessing the weight is another factor to consider on the 918. It will catch up after sometime.

Highest power-to-weight ratio of any production motorcycle in history.
