Does anyone know what Honda this is?It was said to have hit the Golf at 155mph+. The rider and both occupants of the golf were killed. It looks like a VFR400 to me but I could be wrong. It's one of them BikeSafe things used to scare people. Why is Golf coming out like this? Thats strange!!!!any ideas?

I think its photoshopped :shock:

you could be right

when i first saw this a while back i thought it genuine, but looking at it again some things just dont seem right

the exhaust in first picture looks to have made it through the car unscathed

and is that really a Golf?

They are claiming the car is flipped hence most of the car damage, so if bike went through passengers door I guess it is possible for the bike to go through relatively undamaged in areas.

Looks like an RC45 to me, could be an RC30 too. The rear wheel is too wide to be a 400, and if the claims of 150mph are to be believed, it wouldn't be a 400 either.

The first pic looks dodgy too. Who knows.

It's not a photoshop, but it is a bit of a fake (at least). The rescue and recovery processes would have almost certainly have seen the car chopped and the bike removed, if only to remove the casualties. So i reckon it could well be genuine-but-fake, rebuilt after the fact to resemble how it was originally.

It's not real...the accident is real but can you see any blood?
I can assure you that nasty RTA's are not as clean as this one.

A reconstruction for sure.

Merely an example. Anyhoo it's very cold and frosty out there this morning. No place for a motorcycle. If you are riding a motorcycle, take your time and keep a good look out. Not for the faint hearted.
