- This is my reaction to a police chase of gym owner Paul Whyatt, of Thorney, Cambridgeshire, out pacing a police car that was doing 148mph, with a fake number plate on his BMW S1000RR registered to a car in Hampshire.

You know, they should just acknowledge that someone on a modern bike is easily able to leave them for dust, so even trying to catch them at those speeds puts the public and them in unnecessary, futile danger.

There was a show years ago where they played the funniest things heard over a police scanner. A policeman running radar radioed dispatch that he just clocked a car at 205 mile an hour. They asked if he was in pursuit .... Long silence. With what.
😂😂 classic!
@@soonerfrac4611 what happened bud
Which one? The guy that ran from the cops and t-boned a car in the driver’s door killing the driver? The other drunk with two dudes that hit a curb at a T intersection launching the passenger over 200’ and the driver through and the driver through the top layer of a 7’ tall barbed wire fence decapating him? The guy (in a car) I chased that went the wrong way in a construction zone headlong into a semi?
Few cops will chase a bike because your going to lose, get the plate and a description and go on your way. The problem is they still tend to keep running and wreck hurting others. Glorifying them running is a bad thing.
@@soonerfrac4611 I personally always pulled over the first safe space. A lot of times I only got a warning by being polite and making his job easy. Even had a speeding ticket at over 96mph reduced to 75. because of it. 96 is going to jail with the car impounded, 75 is a ticket. At 2 oclock in the morning and I hadn't seen another car for over a half hour. When I went around the turn he was running radar. When his lights came on I downshifted and pulled in front of him. Once he knew I wasn't a threat or going to be a smartass his demeanor changed.
Absolutely the right response. Both officers and drivers should be respectful and it will usually work out best for all parties involved. Unless you act like an A-hole the cops will often lower the speed to keep you from losing your license and vehicle.
But there’s times, such as this, where the book should be thrown at the driver and the cops should be reprimanded for continuing the pursuit in such a tight residential neighborhood.
And videos like these both profit from and promote the reckless behavior of the bike rider.
A sports bike with fake plates!
You've got zero chances of catching that 😂
in the end he was but oh well
The cops driving 150 in a shitbox car are a bigger threat to the public than the speeding biker.
Anyone using false plates is instantly a threat to the public as they have something to hide.
Or maybe cant afford stupid insurance prices @Corp0ralPunishment
@@Abz52 But they can afford the motorbike and to put other road users lives at risk...
It was confirmed in the video he had a weapon and was on false plates / the police were using bmw 530ds or 330ds so they are not in a bad car
@@Kikerfit The reality is, in the UK atleast...any bike with more than about 60 bhp is gonna out pace police cars. Don't get me wrong there are a handful of m5's and what not in out forces but a more realistic expectation is for the most part, bikes aren't worth chasing.
I love how they completely ignored the car going over 100mph lol

Recently, a motorcycle cop traveling the opposite direction saw me do an improper pass on a 2 lane road. I saw him doing a u-turn in my mirror as I was speeding away so I pulled over further up ahead, shut off the bike, removed my helmet and gloves, and waited for him to catch up. He thanked me for not running after realizing I was on a much faster racing bike. We ended up mostly talking about bikes, and I left with a warning.
Puss

I’d be gone in 60 seconds 🎉
That will NEVER happen in the UK trust me. Despite the constant shittalk about usa cops, UK cops are way more stuck up and act like assholes. You mess up, thats it no chance of getting out of it. When i started riding, on the first day my bike was delivered i got pulled over because the ANPR camera system flagged me up for a nearby police car as uninsured, eventough i was insured but the MID system that stores insurance data updates in 48 hours. So they pull me over, i stop, cop jumps out runs up on me and grabs my key almost knocking me over acting like i was gonna run with the engine off. Then they would hold me for 30 mins because despite me giving them my licence and insurance, they didnt believe i was insured eventough the certificate stated that the insurance was signed that day... They tried calling the insurer (at 6pm) ofc noone picked up the phone and then after fuckin around for a while more they let me go and told me to sort it out...
@@waifuracer6516 I got away with a warning and a friendly chat in Peebles Scotland. I was totally in the wrong but they exercised discretion and I appreciated that
I love how you through in your own bit of frustration with how inefficient people are by taking up all 4 lanes
pretty valid point. most drivers suck haha
come to new zealand , if we all drove in the left lane , our motor way speed would about 15 mile mph , we have to many cars and not enough road to fit all the cars .
and we have added road watchers to the list , because been a long time since we had real work done on a road that didn't need fixing the following week
@@grizzz6884he’s saying you need to move left if your not passing and it’s safe to do so. You should try to be as far left as possible. Where I live we have a three lane high way. The left passing lane gets full bumper to bumper while the right lane has no one in it because people refuse to pass and get over. Leading to the right most lane, the slow lane, becoming the faster lane. It’s ridiculous.
@@joshuaspath6923 Sounds like you and I live in a right lane-slow lane country. I've moved to the right and taken advantage of that many times. So many people seem to think "If I'm in the fast lane that means I'm moving fast". Sadly, it is often the farthest thing from the truth.
I never think it's worth the police putting themselves and others in danger by travelling at speeds up to 147mph in this case over a traffic ticket.
The fact they hit 145mph themselves and never seen another glimpse of him 😂
Hmm, he's in jail now, so they've seen more than a glimpse of him. This FF should never ride a bike again...
That's only bc he was too stupid to scrap the clothes he was caught riding with, had nothing ro do with his riding skills

My 1000cc is an animal, and I’m no Rossi but nothing short of an absolute weapon of a car is keeping up with me when it’s on. Bikes are just another level.
High speed motorcycle chases have been deemed extremely unsafe , police in most states in the U.S are trained/ ordered not to engage. No pursuit
Around Los Angeles they'll call in Air pursuit(Helicopter) if one is nearby. They just follow along up there watching to see where they go. But ya, ground units will not do high speed pursuits of bikes anymore. Not for a long time now.
@@SternLX yeah but not from where I come from which is Malaysia.We are not a rich country like America so we can't afford helicopters so in exchange we use faster bikes.Nowadays you can see some police officers ride a Suzuki gsx s750 or even a 1000cc bikes tho the 1000cc are not supplied by the government but is the police officer's own bike.It's have been proven that the original touring police bikes are not capable enough and should only be use when escorting a VIP

I was chased by a cop once. I was doing 42 in a 30 mph zone on my Lambretta in Malvern England. Pretty much the same as this video, except 1/4 the speed and I couldn’t lose the cop…

Oh, and I have to add what the policeman said to me “Who DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, Stirling Moss?” You might have to Google him but substitute a top NASCAR or any famous race car drivers name and you get the idea.
I was done driving a 2CV!
I would’ve been like, “well, looks like he’s gone.” Absolutely no reason to even try and catch him. He was gone before you hit 120 mph. Literally couldn’t see him anymore.
Police chase doesn't really make sense. Run the registration and mail him a speeding ticket. Rider is being reckless, but that's no reason for the police to be reckless as well.
@@crusherven wouldn’t of worked as stated in the beginning of the video when on the A1 that he ran the reg and it came back as a seat Ibiza so he had copied someone’s plates

A friend has one of these bikes with 86,000 miles on it. I used to wonder how he could have accumulated so miles since he has two cars he also drives. Now I realize it doesn’t necessarily take that many actual hours of riding to do it!
😂😂😂 never thought about this but it’s true
The police officers should have rammed him from behind. Bloody useless. They expect him to stop 🤦♂️
My cars, i put maybe 500 miles a month on commuting. My last bike, That sod i would put 500 miles on it each weekend.
in two years i tripled the mileage. 118K on the clock when i sold it.
Any of the "litre bikes" can very easily average 100mph on a nice twisty B road.
LOL, I have two bikes. over 40k on both
86k on a bike is a lot of miles still. Props to your friend. A lot of experience comes from that many miles.
A couple decades back, on a very early Sunday morning, I got passed by a guy on a huge bike that looked like he was going well over 200 mph. This was on the 90/94 in Chicago and we were practically the only vehicles on the highway because it was so early on Sunday.
I was going fast, but I saw a tiny blur in my mirror, then he zoomed right past me on the left, and wound his way down the highway before disappearing in seconds.
It was the fastest vehicle I ever saw, and I’ve been on German autobahns. Wish I knew what kind of bike it was.
Considering Chicago PD’s well-earned reputation for not f’ing around when they get upset by someone, I was amazed he took such a chance. But I know he got away with it that time because I would have seen it if a cop had pulled him over. Hard to believe, but I guess there were none on the highway that early morning.
That man was future President Barack Obama! And he was in 4th gear… Don’t ask me how I know.
@@EasyTiger.01343 LOL. That would have been funny. But actually it was a middle aged white guy. I would love to know what the heck that bike was. Passed me like I was standing still, and I was going fast.

Driving top speed on an almost straight line is not hard at all. Mere stupid of course but not requiring pro skill
@@aronob doing 160 or over for longer than 2 seconds takes real concentration, especially with traffic. Going full pin for at least 20 or 30 seconds takes even more, bikes are my daily I do not own any cars anymore (for the record). I know this, but it shows that you do not or you wouldn't have said this.
people lost control going in a straight line at much slower speeds. it gets more difficult to control the vehicle when you are going that fast, even if it is in a straight line.@@aronob
@@jihnfab8957 presumably from the way you are talking about speed in traffic you do this regularly, you will crash and you might be lucky if you die you might just end up driving a high speed wheel chair for the rest of your life with your high speed mind screaming all the time
It made me laugh when the they said on the first chase, "We've pulled back". Like they had some sort of choice in the matter.
If this was real, all they had to do is get the plate number. No need to chase.They were plenty close to do that,
Biker was an idiot, the Police also idiots for putting themselves, the rider and the public in unnecessary danger.
They did. The plate came back as a cars plate, a seat ibiza.
@340rps that was the WHOLE POINT OF THE CHASE because the registration came back to an Ibiza.

@@340rpsYeah, like these guys didn't think of that and equip fake plates already...🙄
When I lived in Vegas in the mid 2000's a popular thing late at night was to do high speed laps around the city. I became friends with a policeman who told me that they wouldn't even bother trying to stop a bike at speed, which was all I needed to hear as a Hayabusa owner.

The guy on the bike is clearly mad but you have to wonder how safe it is for the police to drive so fast trying to catch him.
They are trained to be able to drive that way for a reason. And they slowed down when they didn't want to go any faster than what is safe. Do you want your police to be limited to 90mph? 🤡

This is absolutely a non-violent offender. Chasing a motorcycle doing 150 miles an hour is ridiculous and he’s putting the public in danger.
Absolutely no reason to chase that bike at those speeds
I'm thinking before that early blast off, he slowed to 73 because he knew he could accelerate from a "slow" speed much quicker than the cop car.
So give the cop your plate number and then take off so they can meet at his house great move.
@@fortyone666 He had false plates on.... 🤷🏻♀
Imagine accelerating to 140mph and the bike is still pulling away from you.
By the time they got to 100mph the bike was doing 180mph 🤣
Why is this in mph not kph lol
@@TheTastefulThickness 100 mph is about 160 kph. 180mph is about 280 kph. A mile is roughly 1.6 kilometers
I always wondered what it looked like from an aggressors view. Now I see. A straight stretch of 5km over a knoll does the trick. Or so I hear.
@@TheTastefulThickness because this is UK and they use mph
A cop, who was inspecting my bike's SN so I could get it plated, said to me, "Just so you know, if a biker attempts to elude us we have orders to ram them." I replied, "Thanks for the warning. I'll make sure you never get that close."
I don’t know who’s the foolish one, the rider on the BMW or the officer pursing him at 145 mph risking the chance of a high speed accident with an innocent driver.
Is that the highly trained police driver 🤔?
Driving a 2 ton car at 145 mph through traffic is FAR MORE dangerous than anything the bike is doing!
@@mcross320 more likely 2.5t with all the gear they have to carry
@@stevenbennett2755 At least the cops know when their beat unlike Yankee cops that call out choppers and no biker can get away from them. I know some bikes are faster than most choppers but they can't cut across fields, rivers, buildings etc and all in a straight line.
Highly trained police officers call off a pursuit when it gets too dangerous. Who was the one, who might be able to ride quick btw, still flaunted and broke numerous laws, put "innocent drivers" and people in danger, used plates coming back as a CAR! 🤣🤣 (not a similar bike and a Seat Ibiza at that🤣) and wore the same rucksack and distinctive clothing that eventually incriminated him! 🤣 You know who the “foolish’ one is don’t ya 😉
He is gone! when he gets home he is covering that bike and not riding for a few days 😂
Ride a bike crazy, 30 months in jail. Hit and run, killing children, 6 months.... WTF?!?!
interesting to see that the biker actually slows down within city limits, not risking anything to get away from the police and only going fast when he can control the situation.
thats professional what's the point of unnecessary risk
@@FF-pq2ex He escaped from the police several times since 1999. He wasn't a gym owner either. He was a poor gardener. He got caught driving with his real license plate because he thought he had a fake one and sped away.

Was doing 60+ in a built up area lol, not saying I don't do the same, but we both watched the same video so how did you come up with this?
the way things are going dont even bother have to register or inshure the bike just run if you get pulled over.
Why cant all youtubers get straight to the point like this guy without spending the first 5 mins of the video talking nonsense. Fair play mate..liked and subscribed 👍🏻
Because all the money grabbin creators know that the optimum video length is 8+ minutes which allows for more adverts which in turn pays them $$.
Like Jase 89 said, It's all about stretching it out. Notice how many are just over the 8 or 10 minute time length? Someone asked a youtuber a question about the subject and his response was this: " I'll make video about this soon". It was a simple question that could have been answered in 1-2 sentences.
why don't you just skip to the end? You think I sat here and watch this for 7 minutes? i was here for just over one minute. I also NEVER like and subscribe
What's money grabbing about getting paid for your work?
@@Legendary-zh9hd I thought everybody skipped to the point. My bad.
The police should never try to chase or catch a motorcyclist. By doing that, they put other civilians lives in danger.
Police should be prosecuted for driving 145 mph on a crowded highway. They put countless motorists at risk.
oh but they have to catch them.... also what happened to the rest of the chase??? it said they caught him, i dont see how, only if he ran out of fuel or crashed
It doesn’t matter how fast your bike is or how skilled a rider you are, it just takes one vehicle to switch into your path….

I had the single R version. Slightly less top end to have a bit more usable low down torque but, still insanely quick when you get up over 9,000 rpm or so. Both are amazing handling and insanely quick.
I still have an R, now done 60,000km on it. They are a brisk thing, but what makes me pause every time I look at trading it in for the obvious replacements (good time to be a bike rider - some nice bikes out) is how easy it is to ride quickly.
@@brianglendenning1632 Mine was in 2014, the first series of them. It came with the quickshift up but not down. I totally agree they are easy, even encouraging to whip it through twistys and even from pretty low revs, pull harder and harder as the revs rise but no sudden cut in of any sharp narrow powerband, it came on so progressively and built to PLENTY enough to do everything effortlessly. I loved the fact it was a bike I did intend to do some club racing on with virtually no modifications. I'd be surprised if it couldn't have placed well at that level racing and would have been great fun to be able to use all it had without worrying about getting booked for doing triple the speed limit seconds after taking off lol.
Mine ended when a **** launched his ridiculously jacked up Jeep wagon and I slammed into the side of it at very close to the 100 kph speed limit, I wasn't expected to survive either. A lovely 3 month holiday in intensive care after the first 8 days on full life support in an induced coma while they waited for me to drop off my perch. I'm still pretty stuffed but, I am riding lesser bikes I have and trying to decide whether with a much more limited ability to ride a reasonable distance I can justify the expense.
It's great but kinda weird that such a fantastic bike to ride also has a few little luxuries like the heated grips and cruise control, oh man did I love that cruise control lol. I clocked up 35,000 kilometers on mine and loved every bit, well, except for one road I know that was a bit too patched and rough that the suspension didn't cope well but, everywhere else, it was awesome.
What's your overall take after 60,000 kilometers?

"He didn't even drop a gear..."
haha, that s1000rr is incredible. Bikes in general
2:35 - they should have stopped the chase at this point. They’re only endangering the public by trying to catch him. Eventually he’ll get caught and he did. But this type of bike can only be followed with a helicopter.
Even a helicopter would struggle - most have a maximum speed of less than 150kts. The IOM TT chase helicopters always lose the riders out on the mountain

I used to work shifts and was returning home around 3am southbound on the M23, a deserted and clear motorway with zero traffic. An unexpected disruption came into view - a blockade of blue lights up in the distance. I slowed down, eventually coming to a complete stop at the scene. Within a minute, an undercover cop car pulled up behind me, an officer with a distinct Scottish accent approached, looking none too pleased.
The lecture that followed was one for the books! He spared no words in expressing their frustration, emphasising the dangers of high-speed riding and admonishing me for reckless behaviour, "It's idiots like you we have to scrape up off the floor and then have to go and break the news to your wife and family". As the verbal reprimand reached its peak, the officer directed me to the back of their car, where they proceeded to showcase the evidence against me on their dash screen.
I watched the footage, revealing that they had entered the at the Gatwick junction just as I had zipped past. The on-screen display shows them rapidly accelerating, 110, 120, 130, 140+ mph, but I had already become a distant speck, chin on the tank, elbows tucked in, my TL1000R bouncing off the limiter. Unbeknownst to me, they instantly coordinated with a unit two junctions ahead at Pease Pottage, strategically placing a van on the bridge and two cars either side of the junction, anticipating a potential escape attempt.
Just when I thought the situation couldn't get any worse, another officer chimed in with a case where a motorcyclist had been sent to prison for traveling at twice the national speed limit. The dread settled in, and I braced myself for the impending legal storm. However, the unexpected twist came when the officer asked me about the wording flashing on their screen throughout the footage.
Upon closer inspection, I noted that the word 'calibrate' appeared every two seconds. The officer revealed that this message surfaced periodically, signalling the need to test and recalibrate the system. He went on to say the system's accuracy never deviated by more than a decimal, and that it only just starting flashing up 5 minutes ago. But the 'calibrate' message meant it would never stand up in a court of law.
With a hint of amusement, the officer acknowledged the fortunate timing of my escapade, pointing out that, on this night, I was the luckiest man alive. The lecture concluded, and after a thorough ID check on me, the bike, and insurance, I was surprisingly allowed to ride off into the night, escaping any legal consequences.
As the motorway disappeared in my side mirror, the echoes of the 'calibrate' message lingered in my mind, serving as a surreal mix of relief and disbelief at the sheer serendipity that defined my life that night, a turning point. Oddly, those flashing blue lights, meant to enforce the law, inadvertently became the silent guardians that saved many lives that night.
There’s no excuse for police initiating high speed chases like this. Literally greatly endangering 100’s of innocent lives over a traffic violation.
When I was much younger I've done this a couple times but didn't continue riding. Once I felt I lost them I found a spot to wait for a very long time before returning to the highway. You can't outrun a radio and yes they'll stop the pursuit if the situation get too dangerous but they'll have other units looking for you. Fortunately I was very lucky and didn't get in an accident. I think back and it was a stupid thing to do. Might as well just take the ticket instead of risking death and or endangering others. Or
Hmmm. You must have had fake plates on as well then if you didn't get caught? If that was the case, you'd get more than a ticket I'd think
@@becauseiwasinverted7971 Fake plate

No plate is better bc there are a million legit reasons why you might have no plate and if they see that there is no plate then they already know what's up. That's what my friend told me.
"he's a good 500 metres in front of us now"
"Half a mile ahead"
In what world is 500 metres half a mile?
It was just an update. In those few seconds, the rider gained an extra 300 metres. 😂
Seriously, those cops were so far behind that their distance estimation had to be doubtful at best.
These people drive on the wrong side of the road. Brits were never known to be educated.😂

@@AdamNeisler exactly my point.
@@tatskamaster a reverse update
thething that noone mentions is that the traffic departments all have thier specialist interceptor, which is a highly tuned motorcycle that they use to keep up with the rider then detain them when they inevitably pull over for fuel, the problem with the BMW's is theyre immensly fuel efficient even the superbike version so sometimes takes a while, i used to ride a K100 in 2001 doing motorcycle courier, and i had the same 3 sports bikes pass me 5 times between watford and the M62 junction on the M6, all because i only refueled twice and they had to refuel 4 or 5 times the middle time i met them i had a brew after refuelling and they talked to me as i got back to the bike asking how i was infront of them when they kept passing me, i just replied, BMW fuel economy, plus im not killing my fuel economy by going breakneck speeds, i then told them dropping thier speed to 2/3 or 1/2 would double thier fuel economy and mean they were not wasting 10 minutes every hour refuelling, they were going to scotland and thought that was the only way to get there
I think I see the main problem. Everybody is driving on the wrong side of the road.
Happy to hear you mention people hanging out in the number 1 lane. Thought it was only people in the US that didn't know how to drive.
It's all over the world, including in SE Asia.
They need to be banned for life.
Middle lane hoggers are the worst though. They need to feel pain.
Whats worse is people ahead of you on an on ramp trying to merge at half the speed of traffic. Happens in Washington a lot. Probably all the stoned drivers.
20% of people know how to drive, 5% of people actually apply that knowledge consistently.

At some point if you are on a high speed chase and haven’t caught the suspect or even lost sight of them you gotta call it off for the safety of everyone else.
Or maybe if you are a piece of shit biker stop breaking the law so cops won't have to chase you. How bout let's critique the criminals for once
@@joshuapinkley8562 the critique of the criminal activity is obvious. The response to said activity is the concern here. If a motorcycle is speeding, it has WAY more potential to damage himself/herself than anyone else. Once you add a car going 100mph in that mess, you endanger the lives of others significantly. It’s about mitigating risks my friend.
Which is exactly what both police vehicles did
The police don't care about the safety of anyone. Control and submission of the proletariat is their entire Modus operandi. They are Nazi's, pure human filth.
@@BipityBopity93 I haven't seen anyone in the comments critiquing the criminal...
That first cop car was being driven so dangerously fast. The way it’s bouncing up over crests mid corner he was very lucky not to have lost control. “We’ve pulled back now” (still doing over 120mph)
The only dangerous drivers here are the revenue collectors as per usual.
They had no reason to pull and desturb the motorcyclist in the first place.
Ive no resprct for the revenue collectors whatsoever
It is indeed interesting how they sat behind the Audi doing over 100mph and did nothing, that said I think the speeds shown are nonsense.
They were doing supposedly over 140mph and only just passing cars and wagons... I've done those speeds, you overtake other vehicles much faster than that! Unless everyone there was doing 120 including the wagons.
I agree with this, I’ll be doing 115 on my 300cc Kawasaki Ninja and you go FLYING by people doing regular speeds so 140+ might be a stretch
@@zayhs6351 I'd say they were doing no more than 100 tbh.
I really do agree but sometimes the camera placement and perception has a drastic change on how it looks a bit like how f1 looks genuinely slow with certain camera work
Yeah, it definitely doesn't have that feel of doing ~70mph faster than the regular drivers at all.
I've seen dudes get moving on 1000rr that are tuned a bit and they cap at like 190 usually so I'm guessing speeds are off 20mph at least
I rode a 2007 Hayabusa for a while. The fastest I got it up to was 125 mph and that was too fast for me. You just don't have enough time to react at those speeds in traffic at least I didn't. The guy in the video is on another level of riding than I was ever at. I sold it after almost eating the back of a semi-truck.
You went waaaaay overkill for 125mph, given that the baby-Suzuki sportbike from that time (the SV-650) will comfortably do 125, without going too far down the road. Hayabusa is 140 in the 1/4 mile.
Also, I took my sv650 to 133ish, topped out (claimed 140 on the speedo). Just gotta find the right spots.
You should've gotten a 600 inline 4 or a 650/400 twin. Hayabusa or 1000cc is just too much If you can't do more than 125mph. You have to do good technical riding on a smaller cc for at least 3 seasons before promoting yourself.
Sometimes it takes more cajones to exercise more self control than to wild out.
0-100 seems like great fun before you realise 100-0 takes a lot more doing
@@shadow_realm47 I am pretty sure most 600CC sport bikes can do 0-60 and back to 0 in less then 10 seconds.
Some thing that very few vehicles with 4 wheels can do.
I have bated cops into clearing lanes for me.
Come up on them at 80 MPH and look for the exhaust pipe change then run for the nearest exit.
Look for them in the chase mode then get back on the freeway and follow them.
I was getting paid by the mile and time on the job. More jobs completed per day more money. The mileage was not that much pay.
@@hpt08 The thing that works is to stay low at high speed to reduce drag. Then when you brake. Pop up and increase drag.
At 100 MPH you can feel the wind trying to peel you off the bike. So make sure you do those pull ups 2-3 times a week.
Yes you do need grip strength to hold on, work the throttle, clutch and brake at the same time.
I used to cruise PCH at 120 to 140 MPH in the morning on my way to Oxnard.
Stopping from 140 to zero when the light just changed yellow is a bit challenging but do able. Beats hitting a car jumping the light.
Daily maintenance is very important. Tire pressures. Brake pads. Chain tension and wear. All import must do before starting it up.
The really important thing is your tires. If you run touring tires don't exceed the posted speed by much. They are not made for 100 MPH.
Picking the right fork and shock fluid for your ride style is big factor in control. That was then.
When 165 MPH was way more than what was needed. Wore out 4 motor cycles. Quit riding because cell phones suck.
My bother was riding a Aspencade. T-boned a 2001 Cadillac in 2005. Hit at 55 MPH. Bent the Cadillac at the drivers B pillar.
Him, Closed head injury.
Her, bruised and cracked ribs.
He got hospital bills paid and extra $150,000. But he was done riding. Yes the Insurance lawyer tried the "It's a motor cycle therefore it was going to fast" defense. But it had a mechanical speedometer. Frozen at 54 MPH in a 55 MPH zone.
Police took pictures. No skid marks.
The amount of grip modern day tires have for motorcycles is absolutely stunning
If a cop is able to pull up behind you on the highway with sirens/flashers while your on a bike without you noticing STOP RIDING ASAP Your situational awareness is nonexistent 💯
I remember watching a video years back about a group of bikers who would go out in the middle of the night with the sole intention of getting around the M25 as quickly as possible. They said it was always quite easy to get away from the police and, that the only thing that would deter them or cause them to split up was if/when the police helicopter went up.
Do you remember the link?
Lol good luck doing that now, cameras everywhere on the M25 and traffic for days. Even in the middle of night 🤣
@@rundattmedia2106 If you are willing to accept you will be chased by the police, then surely you'd be willing to remove plates?
I remember going round the M25 the wrong way at around 150mph on the back of a mates bike, some Yamaha 750 I think. He's just had it imported and we were working on that section of road back in the 1980s. It was a week or so before it was opened to the public. I was bricking it, tbh.
I have a good friend that would call the cops on himself just to run from them. He was just 16 or so and he was on a dirt bike. Lol they never got him. He must have done it about 20 times or so in a 2 year period. 😆🤣😂
Those s1krs are no joke, raced one on my R1 2015 and it reeled me in at 160mph 😂
H2R are turbo powered lol those are 232 top speed I believe Kawasaki
@Enjoy Life that’s insane lol
@Enjoy Life I did see a video where sports bike was given 3 lap head start and f1 caught up and still beat the bike. I don’t remember which bike but f1s are super planted and the benchmark to beat, speed isn’t much without handling so def blew my mind. I’ll try to find the channel I Saw it on and link it
@@ItalianMetalHED H2Rs are supercharged not turbo and they aren’t road legal. Still an awesome bike though
@@ItalianMetalHED F1 has soooo much more contact patch. No bike or rider can out run an F1. A really good sports car will also out perform a bike, assuming the driver has the skill.
Modern sport bikes, are simply too much for an average patrol car. Police are said to be 'trained' drivers but I doubt they keep that skill updated. A skilled rider on even an older bike can probably out run most police.
I have been driving for over 40 years and I am certain, I can out drive most cops half my age. Maybe one day I will have a car that would make it worth a try! LOL!
My bike is full tour/bagger so not good enough in the tight corners to even think about running. - Cheers
There’s a video of a man in a bike in Texas that not only outruns the police cars, but the police helicopter too.
Both of these men can handle their bikes quite well, especially sustaining those speeds. As wrong as it is, I love watching them get away, maybe I’m a little jealous or maybe I just won’t take the chance in being locked up for 2-1/2 years
Having dealt with a number of motorcycle fatalities and seeing the damage that is done to the human body, the mental anguish of the loved ones of the riders and to the other unfortunate victims who have got caught up in the incident. It is beyond me how so many comments on here are “praising” the rider. Total madness! The rider is not only putting himself, other road users and the police in danger and for what? The rider was totally irresponsible.
womp womp
Just out of curiosity, how many of these fatality's were caused by a speeding motorcyclist to other innocent road users?
The 'danger' is the police car trying to follow the bike!
Well said and agree with you 100%. As a motorcycle rider I see bad riders & riding everyday and as soon as I hear an illegal loud/race exhaust I know the chances a bad rider will be near any second are quite high. ☹
Coppers do my head in with stuff like this. Why is it ok for them to do 140/150mph? They can talk about advanced driving and all that but it Only takes 1 car to pull into their lane and that’s it. I don’t care what cop car you’re in, you’re not catching an S1000rr in an every day car

The absolute arrogance of police thinking it's safe to chase anyone over a 50 dollar ticket. So called authorities need reigned in big time.
From What I saw in the first part of the video, the rider was keeping up with the traffic. But was picked on while all other drivers got a pass
Tbf the rider was on fake plates, keeping up with the flow of traffic or not he’s still breaking the law.
@@willnixon4560 most laws are bull crap anyway, just another way for governments to make money
@@willnixon4560 I didn’t know he had fake plates
@@willnixon4560 it says somewhere in the vid that the false plate had a car reg number on it. which was a bit of a schoolboy error.................... DUH !!
I believe the technology is there for automatic number recognition, used in a number of forms by different agencies, including fixed cameras and mobile cameras. Some may be used for vehicle tax purposes, but the police most likely have a display with the type of vehicle, colour etc that matches the number plate and also if the vehicle has been reported stolen for example.
As theft of motorcycles is quite prevalent, I believe it isn't unreasonable to pay particular attention to motorcycles as the police go about their duties.
I call BS on that speedo calibration. Know way that vehicle was doing those speeds in some of those corners not to mention the one time it said 97MPH and he was hardly going faster than the flow of traffic.
Think the units were in MPH, but the actual speed is in KPH...
@@THEfamouspolka Looks like it, especially with that Audi. Motorway speeds in the UK I think are around 60mph which is 100km/h which explains why the audi wasn't pulled over.

@@THEfamouspolka Also that police speedo is GPS, so very accurate.
I've been pulled over going 24 mph over the speed limit on a highway, I was very respectful to the officer, so he only gave me a ticket for 5 over.
I got really lucky, I could have ended up in jail, with a reckless driving charge, and my license revoked.
I can hear Catalina shouting: "THEY'RE DOTS IN THE DISTANCE! FASTER!".
I am amazed that they kept chasing for so long, I'd have given up at about 120mph when chasing a liter bike. The bike will usually escape and that police car wasn't too far from losing control on that first corner.
I love that real motoring enthusiasts will find every possible opportunity to complain about lane discipline
Yep, always some asshole going slow in the fast lane that wont pull over. Cops should have arrested HIM!
Well maybe people ought to learn how to drive and we wouldn't
You say it as though there were something wrong with complaining about lane discipline.
Aside from slowing me down, it causes horrendous congestion and it's indicative an inability to drive properly. These idiots who stay in one lane do it because they're incapable of safely switching lanes regularly and are generally just stubborn.

I love it when the rider crashes and takes his own dumb ass out of the game of life.
Stupid games, stupid prizes.
The police risked to make accidents and kill someone only to catch a guy on a motorcycle who drove previously a little bit faster on highway, bravo
I appreciate the "mph" speed posting so i could actually understand how fast they were moving
That's actually on the recording as we use mph to measure speed in the UK too.
The total hypocrisy of the police who will give someone a fine for doing 36mph in a 30 zone yet they can put far more people in danger by pursuing a motorcycle who's only crime originally was to have a false number plate...Not putting anyone in danger !!!!
Bikers always tell us to be careful and respect motorcycles on the road and we should, but almost every person on a motorcycle that I see is riding like an asshole and not respecting traffic rules.
My favorite thing in the whole video is the guy says if he can ride properly you need a really fast car!!!!! Love it because it’s true
...but it's hard to outrun a radio! (Or helicopter)
Even a heli is generally not fast enough

I had a lot of this trouble when driving a Centurion tank. I thought the police were giving me an escort from behind. However they never followed when I turned into a field, which upset me a bit.

Self and few friends would play cat n mouse with small town America cops more times than I can count, never at such high speeds and I had strict rules such as innitial distance far beyond plate reading ability, often they didn't even use lights, tried to be stealthy, never used a siren I can recall. Mostly on high performance bikes but also dirt bikes and pickup trucks, only got caught once hr AFTER it was over bc we returned to town too soon in pickup, would have got away with that too except one of four of us, crammed into cab, caved during interrogation. Roommate/driver paid a few grand fine. (adjusting for inflation) Always park for the night after a chase, next day somehow it was too late for culpability.
Was great fun for all involved, no doubt cops enjoyed as much as us except for always losing. :D That was back in the '80's when courts didn't take it too serious tho a good beating by cops was always likely.
Abram's tank !!??
Of course he didn't follow when you turned into a field. With such a great disguise, they were probably just wondering where you'd gone.
Even Buford .T . Justice wasn't catching him THAT day . 😂
Bro been playing too much GTA and thought the second he outruns them no one would ever recognize him in their life again
Man that first cop must be low on his quota!
I've no need for it, but I almost want to buy a bike like this as an investment. Don't ride it (much) just put it in storage for 25 years. It's just a matter of time before nanny nations ban them.
especially with the new ban they was proposing on modding bikes it wont be long
Yeah they limit it just like with air rifles and everything and the pathetic lefties who love rules will praise the tyrannts in gov.
A ban on modding bikes? That’s so communist. Next they’ll ban a hammer and screwdriver
That's not a bad idea, especially if it's a rarer bike, like an M1000RR or a Ducati 1199 Superleggera. 25+ years from now, I think you'd make a lot of money selling it. But I'm no expert.
He was going 4 mph over the speed limit.
I was doing 120 on the highway and a speed-trap cop flashed their lights. I gave the bike the rest of the throttle, purely based on it scaring the shit out of me. The cop turned off their lights and didn't pursue. It was 1am so hardly any traffic. I got lucky. It was a time before traffic and red light cams. Nowadays you've got to have no license plate to outrun anything.
Even an experienced riders day can turn bad in a heart beat, plus there are a lot of riders who actually believe they are experienced until they find out they are not. I have seen a lot of them, even watched them get zipped up in a bag and hauled away.
From reporting on Cambridgeshire live:
A judge criticised Whyatt for his "his arrogance and stupidity" after hearing the backpack also contained a sheath knife which was uncovered by police.
what they didn;t catch him
I was out for a Sunday ride once, taking a break sat on a wall next to my bike at a small petrol station in the middle of no-where. I could hear a bike coming and it flew past, knee down round the bend the petrol station was on. About 30 seconds later a bike cop pulled into the station and parked next to me. "Did a fireblade just come past here?" he asked. "Yeah" I said, "pretty quick, had his knee down round this bend too". Cop said he'd been chasing him for a while but couldn't keep up, said he was actually quite impressed with his riding, a bit fast but safe overall and that he was only gonna tell him his brake light wasn't working! We had a chat for a while and a laugh about it and then he was off on his way again. Cop was pretty cool and loved bikes / riding too.
5:20 70mph+ in a residential area with no contact to the bike. That is really dumb.
