Still, insanely stupid.

Maybe I´m a *****, but the one time when I took my BMW to 220 km/h ( 140 mph) it scared me almost to death.

A lot of riders over here frequently use the Autobahn to take their bikes to 300 km/h ( 185 mph and above) - I admit, I never could do that !

A colleague of mine riding a Sportbike BMW of the K-series goes intentionally out on cold mornings because "air has more oxygen at low temperatures" to take his bike to the 300 k/h limit.

I hope god is with him every time he is doing so ...

At 185 he is going slower than a NASCAR, I have been 200+ and it isn't a blur.These sportbikes will do those speeds.
