The bike was probably heavily modified.

It was 1000cc RC51 Honda. Only mods were exhaust systems. A fast ride, but not a 200mph one.

This was posted at Motorcycle Consumer News at the time, and is a pretty fair description of what most likely happened:

Actually this guy has been posting on sportbikes.net and he said that he was riding a Honda RC51 with an aftermarket muffler, otherwise it's stock. That bike is by no stretch of the imagination capable of 200mph. Apparently the cop was in a plane using a stopwatch and was timing 2 bikes going different speeds with 2 stopwatches at the same time. He was timing them from hash mark to hash mark a 1/4 mile apart. Apparently the cops were patroling the area they knew a bike ride was occuring on.
