**CunningStunt** · 09-04-2008, 08:47 PM

damn that's fast. I've been on a bike at 130 mph and could hardly hold on.

Rip.

**Iron Fist** · 09-04-2008, 08:49 PM

Meh.. rookie.

**papill0n** · 09-04-2008, 08:53 PM

Holy shit that is some insane speed.

**Aussie Rebel** · 09-04-2008, 08:54 PM

Wow thats fast, quickest I've been on my bike is 270 klm's an hour and it scared the shit outta me

**Spunky** · 09-04-2008, 08:56 PM

Damn.that is insanity.probably had a death wish

**SilentKnight** · 09-04-2008, 08:56 PM

One less idiot to infect the human gene pool.

**baddog** · 09-04-2008, 08:58 PM

Thanks for the reminder. A buddy of mine is racing there. I should call him.

BV · 09-04-2008, 08:58 PM

I've tapped into the 140's for very brief milliseconds on a bike.

i couldn't dream of 240

ps: that was a great movie with Anthony Hopkins, i think "The Fastest Indian". It took place at Bonneville.

**SBJ** · 09-04-2008, 09:22 PM

wow crazy! My bro in law just bought a harley v rod and he told me i could tide it sometime if i get my permit but I like speed too much so I'll stay off it

**blonda80** · 09-04-2008, 09:27 PM

this is insane!

**NinjaSteve** · 09-04-2008, 09:29 PM

Wow, that's freaking fast.

**LiveDose** · 09-04-2008, 09:30 PM

A stock bike?

**tony286** · 09-04-2008, 09:32 PM

Retards... He was doing it on a closed course, not out on public streets. I guess according to you two, anyone that races anything must be an idiot with a death wish.

Do you know of any stock 500cc bikes that go 239mph?

You making a funny?

Getting away from the bike = good. Not wearing proper gear = bad.

I am actually glad to see it took place somewhere that was proper. No bad feelings and for all we know the rider went out with a smile plastered to his face. If your in an area that is made for such speeds and there is no chance of hurting someone else driving then go for it all you want. Your life, live it or end it how you please. Your not harming others doing it.

**StariaDaniel** · 09-05-2008, 12:20 AM

Damn that's fast

I've been on a Yamaha R1 once with 301 kmh (at least that was on the speedo, guess it was more like 280 or something) - it felt like my arms getting ripped out of my torso ^^

384 kmh real speed is just insanity - butt hell of a ride

**mrwilson** · 09-05-2008, 12:45 AM

damn that sucks

I feel sorry for his family and friends and people who had to witness the crash because at that speed it wouldn't of been very nice.

**bobby666** · 09-05-2008, 01:03 AM

maybe that was just a little bit too fast

**tranza** · 09-05-2008, 05:11 AM

Wow, a crash at that speed must be terrible!

**Scott McD** · 09-05-2008, 05:24 AM

239pmh !!

Nobody would ever survive that...

Awesome movie, and I hit 166 on my bike back in the day. Now I look back and wonder what the fuck I was doing.

**sicone** · 09-05-2008, 06:35 AM

That's a fucking insane speed on a bike

**2012** · 09-05-2008, 06:39 AM

r.i.p.

I guess it beats dying in your sleep

**jakethedog** · 09-05-2008, 06:44 AM

in the 90's I had a 85 GSXR 1100 bored out to 1301 cosworth pistons ..stage 2 cams ,flow ported heads , 20mm larger than stock carbs ..yada yada .. greek to most of you but bottom line a 200bhp sport bike that I would run up to 313 klm or 194-5 mph any time i had enough road .. ended up 10 years ago getting run off a bridge by a lane changing maniac who pushed me into the guardrail at 120 .. meh .. time to start thinking about building up another monster ..

**Cyndalie** · 09-05-2008, 06:47 AM

That must have been a mess to clean up

Ahh...so it was a closed course (forehead slap).

Well then - I must modify my earlier observation.

He was definitely Mensa material.

My only question now is - did they use a spatula, squeegee or shovel to pick up his Einstein carcass?

You're an idiot.

On the flip side, my buddy just called as he was pulling out of the flats, and apparently him and his partner set the world record in their class.

**mvee** · 09-05-2008, 08:47 AM

It's genetic for these guys. Most of us can understand his motivation to travel at insane speeds on a motorcycle as well as he can understand our motivation to stare at a monitor looking at porn all day.

**jmk** · 09-05-2008, 08:49 AM

Dayum !

Would have looked like soup... I can't even imagine seeing that happen to someone close to me.

Not exactly. They actually thought he was just going to lose an arm, but he died later.

**Sunny** · 09-05-2008, 08:55 AM

239 mph is very high speeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

**kristin** · 09-05-2008, 09:03 AM

Wow, damn ....

bullshit...

the fastest stock bike had been the Suzuki Hayabusa with more than 300 km/h (187 mph) - and thats a 1300cc. after that came out all manufacturers agreed to volounteerily limit their bikes to 299 km/h to prevent further competitions who can build a faster bike. so there are no STOCK bikes anymore that do more than 187 mph - especially no 500cc. modifications don't count as stock

I think you are confusing km/h with MPH.

Motorcyclist dies at 239 mph !
