Still I find it impressive to see how fast that bmw got up to 299kph (looks like its limited on revs or so).
200-300 took like 10sec or so.

Let's take those losers to the Isle of Man TT and see if they have skill. Doubtful.

Yes. There's some skill involved. There is always some skill involved just to operate a basic motorcycle like a Honda Shadow 250. But what I saw in that video is more of a selfish I don't give a sh!t attitude towards anyone around them. I don't care if these squids become red stains on the tarmac. But at those speeds it doesn't matter if you're in a cage or not. Those idiots are going to take someone else out with them and violate the Darwin Award rule.

And I do know what it's like on that S1000RR having taken the bike into 5th about to shift into 6th going down the front straight at VIR. Many times these idiots are never to be found in any sanctioned closed course track.

I was expecting to see stunts not just gunning it in a straight line...
