Ever since Britain invented the Imperial system, my friend.

Yikes, I think I've come close to this speed on the M1 (I love my Hayabusa). At least 165. Now this is like a challenge.

What's so hard to believe?

People seem to think there's trickery here.

That speed is not difficult on a number of superbikes. My unrestricted '99 Hayabusa can do nearly 200, and it can accelerate at a mad pace.

A quick twist of the wrist can have you up past 100, 110, 120, 130... in just a few seconds.

I think I have to start making videos.
