In terms that it is a Honda RC51 which is based on Honda's racing platform BUT modified for street. If he were to make that bike go 205 he would "be going against every piece of mechanical & scientific technology known to the motorcyclist today. There is no possible way that an RC51 reached that speed" [Arb].
If there was proof he was moving that fast OK, but there isn't. In fact it is proven that it is impossible (the point of my previos post). I in no way condone speeds to such excess and have never done so myself. I know nothing of motorcycles, the road they (it was 2 kids racing) were on in Wampasha(sp), or having Children in the back seat. Every driver on the road has a horror story(s) about aggressive drivers, speeding, road rage etc. One has to know that when you get into your vehicle there exists the potential for other drivers not adhering to the law. Your life is in your hands (or the cars) and any faith in fellow drivers respecting your life enough not to kill you. But we take defensive measures....WE DRIVE SAABS! Keep on Saabing.
