151 mph on a 600cc bike? That's pretty impressive.

i bet this guy could fight this ticket and WIN.

Honda electronically limits the speed of the 06 bikes to 150. That means he would have had to have perfect conditions and still gain an extra MPH. Not to mention it takes over 1 mile to get you thier.

I took my Yamaha r6 to 157 back in the year 2000. Also a 600cc bike. The redline was at 15000 rpms.

That clown should have his a$$ removed just before they suspend his licence for about 25 years. Jeeze.
