I don't think I'd be afraid of going 150mph+ on a car, but on a bike? Hmm, I don't think so...too much of a risk...

It's not that fast.

And don't believe these idiots who say they go 200 mph on their bikes. Most AMA bikes barely hit 205 mph. Those guys race teams have put $100,000+ in the engines of those bikes. So how is your mostly stock bike gonna go faster? I hear this a lot from newer riders in our area. Stupid comments like, "I was doing 173 on my 600!" I call B*LLShit. #1, the speedos are off by 8-10% on average (sometimes more), #2 most 600's top around 150-160 mph anyways.

I do it, just messing around, see if you will take off, it ain't racing, there is no competition. I also do it to faster cars, rev my engine at anything really, i think it is fun!!
