Thats only 190mph, not as if it was dark or any large lorries about or anything.

I'll wager that the indicated speed is 5-10% higher than the real speed.

And, given that there are no curves and that where he is from you have to run at least 200-240 kph in the left lane just to keep from being run down, what's the big deal?

You're right, it is not a big deal at all. People go that fast on motorcycles all the time, although I never would. I actually just thought it was kind of a cool video. That's why I posted it. Sorry if it feels like I wasted your time.

Not a waste, per se . . . It is always fun to see people risking life and limb. But as an accomplishment it'd be a lot more impressive had it been shot on the Dragon at that speed.

What I appreciated was the lane disipline exercised by the people who use the Autobahn. It is my understanding, 'right lane unless passing', is strickly inforced and carries big fines for violations. And I still think it takes, 'big ones' to ride a bike over 185 mph. Thanks for sharing.

The odomotor looks like a gas pump rolling at 3.00 per gallon!

I'm looking forward to seeing how the FJR handles on the autobahn.

My Venture starts to shimmy her butt around 125mph so I can't push to max. Meanwhile my mirrors fill with headlamp flashing black Audi and VW estates (station wagons) all the company reps run.

Of all the various highways I've driven on in Europe the autobahns actualy feel the safer.

People are more aware of their mirrors on the bahns, and nobody is going to get bloody minded and block the lane on you thinking your speed is (any of) their (damn) business.

Agreed. over there the road is understood to be a way to get from here to there. Here in the states the road is a place to vent frustration and aggression. We ****** USA drivers could learn a thing or two from those whacky Germans

WOW! I wanna try that. Notice how he pulled over to the right when not passing anything? and the slower vehicles kept/moved over to the right?

Something is not right with the odometer at the top. It goes from 54 to in the 70's in one frame. The trip meter is roling properly along and looks realistic.
