Wow after 160 he walked that bike pretty good. Imagine something more aerodynamic, like a vette. 
What exactly is an enclosed road? Adding to the crazyness, it looks like it was raining!

Bikes have horrible aerodynamics. They hit a brick wall around 140ish and will just creep mph after that relative to how they accelerate below said speed. Even a box like that Volvo or my car is exponentially more aerodynamic.

Looks like the R1 wasn't going all out either, short shifted a few times, and looked like he eased back a bit around 140 when he started catching up. I think he was mainly just there to get the footage of the car. ******* insane though, 190 in that box, in the rain. I don't have that kind of *****.

You know what really cracks me up is all these imports that are considered "small" compared to our 4th gens, and yet they seem to have infinitley more room in the engine compartment!!! Case in point....
-Mazda FD/FC RX7
-BMW E36
-Nissan 240SX/Silvia
-Datsun 240Z/260Z/280Z/300Z
And now Volvo's too apparently lol...
