Wow! Man oh man, the speedo went to the end of the scale!. Thats 200mph ??. Are you sure these bikes can make such speed ?. The M6 I can believe but the bikes ?. I figured they would top off at 180mph... maybe tail winds ?.

this is a great vid, them bikes are full tilt! Bet they couldnt believe a car could keep up with them... The car looks very stable at that speed too.

well.. i have read that speedos must be off by a minimum of 4 km per 100km/h .. which means 100 is actually 96, 200 would actually be 192, etc.

chances are that the car isn't actually going 205. that would equate 228km/h roughly .. which realistically would be around 215 or something, if that.

bikes are electronically limited. the fastest bike in existence is still the hayabusa which (depending on who you talk to) has just under a 200mp/h limit.. however both suzuki and kawi agreed a few years back to electronically limit their bikes to 186mph

so.. as far as how fast this car really is going? who knows. i have trouble believing that either of those bikes could reach 200mph.. maybe the m6 has some smaller wheels with shorter circumference tires or something.. i donno
