I've personally seen an R1 make turn 14 at Brainard Int'l raceway and pop a wheelie for a quarter mile. I've also seen bikes 4 across on turn One on that racetrack pushing 178MPH. Seeing that and also learning that a good friend of mine lost his hip because of a bad turn on a chicane (sp?) turned me off on the prospect of racing.


And yeah, I doubt many BMW's can achieve 186MPH. An M3 probably if it's tricked out. A buddy of mine had one special ordered and it did scream, but I don't know if it was capable of 186MPH.
