    What I like about this clip is how well he has captured the excitement of the Gen 6s Vtec engagement and engine revving out at WOT through the gears with the still present but low level wind noise intruding only a little. :cool:

    The speedo is in KPH so 200kph = 125mph and looks to be shot in the Philippines, what I'm not so sure about is how safe he is undertaking cars on road shoulders at 126mph with his gaggle of sports bikes wizzing in out of much slower traffic around him.



    What do you reckon, is this VFR rider brave or just plain nuts ?

    He's nuts, but it's still fun to watch because I'm not the one doing it :thumbsup:

    Starting to think he's more Stupid than Nuts, if you look at his new clip " MY NEW R1 " he not only shows himself and glimpses of his R1s number Plate he also starts and finishes from his appartment showing not only the compound he lives in but his homes address number as well.

    Wouldn't take much slouthing for the local Smokies to work out who he is. :crazy:

    BRAVE– Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: ”Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?”

    NUTS – Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: ”You’re next, fatty.”

    This guy is just stupid.

    Even sadder looks he's traded the VFR for an '09 R1 so he can hang even faster as 138mph is obviously not enough for him anymore, mind the R1 does sound pretty good with those end cans...

    The rider in the vid just seems dumb to me. How impressive is straightline speed anyway? I might have been a little impressed if he was manuevering thru traffic, Ghostrider-style, but this? Jeez, anybody could do that.

    Dumb is right, he was undertaking multiple cars on the road shoulders at 126mph, here that would be exceedingly brave or trusting what with broken bottles, bricks, ripples and the discarded tyres etc littering the road side making that kind of riding extremely hazardous.
