140 MPH through the streets and highways of a European city.

Great driving, hair raising turns and all shot from multiple cameras.



I'm glad these guys live in Europe, they would make me nervous.

With all of the Horsepowered FReepers out here, I thought this would be a natural.

Amazing! 230 kph on the bike's speedo = 138 mph.

Both are very skilled drivers.

That was great! Just once I'd like to have a car to outrun the police. And don't tell me you can't outrun radio because it's speed and brains. I'd see whose got more of which/both.

I have to admit that between the wheelies out of the corner and the weaving around cars, I'm surprised one of these guys didn't biff it.

Holy Crap!

Awesome! The guy on the bike has some serious mad skillz!

I could have kept that up through about the first turn and lost my nerve. I could have done the Car for much of it but having done roundy-round before, even driving like that for 10 minutes is exhausting. These guys were doing that on the street, flat out NUTZ!

I street raced some, usually very late at night on pretty much empty highway for 1/4 mile. My Race car did 11.70s at 124mph in the quarter and then I shut it down. I ran some dirt track for a summer and a couple paved bash fests with my POS monte that only ever hit about 85 in the straights.

I did run a couple ZR1 vettes and one Porshe for a couple laps on a windy track where I got upwards of 140ish on the straights, but damn, nothing like that. I know that it doesn't take long till you're wore out. On a bike, that's insane.

I tried that and I'm still waiting for the thing to load.

When I hit the link for the website it asks to install Macromedia and then I get a Windows error that closes all my windows.
