That is a pretty mad speed on the Woodhead pass itself.

And that's exactly why there are thousands of cameras and biking on the nations roads will eventually fizzle out. Save it for the track!

Big bro here we come...

First of all ... COOL

Secondly, you have to be pretty stoopid to put a vid up like that where you are crossing white lines and speeding ... with your mates numberplate in view

Thirdly is raining (or at least drizzling), he is doing 176mph ACROSS wet white lines and cornering ... now that is large sacks!!

Finally, I am not convinced that is 176mph ... video is deceptive, but it just doesn' look that fast (it is over a ton, but 176??) ... we could prolly work out if it is accurate using the bollards at the side of the road???

A lot of sports bikes run the speed sensor from the front sprocket, gear the bike down massively with sprocket changes and you read 180mph when only doing say 130.

So I am skeptical about the true speed, but if that is all 100% legit, that bike is a rocket ship .. see how quick it got up to that sort of speed!!!
