Under controlled conditions I'd have a crack, whether I'd have the balls to go all the way is another story.

I wouldn't fancy doing it on that bridge though, no much room for error!

I'd like to think I'd give it a go.. I don't suffer tunnel vision until I'm barely accelerating anymore so would probably manage about 350 before my wrist turns the throttle off for me haha.

248.5mph - EEEKKK!!!!!

Don't get me wrong I'd give it a go but I'm not sure if my sense of self preservation would let me take it all the way to 250 mph

I think I'm with you Jack. I would give it a go but I reckon my minerals would run out before I hit 250 mph.

Fair play to the lad, that's very quick on a stretch of road that you can't make mistakes on, if it drifts off course just a little it'd be curtains at that speed, big balls I think. (clap)

Fwiw, I'd deffo have a go, but the same as Jack - my survival instinct may well kick in before I saw 400kph.

I would give it a go( not on a bridge though).

There is no way you could ride at that speed without being totally out of the windblast so doubt you would appreciate the actual speed you were going.

I'd love a crack at that.

Props for sharing the video.

Apparently he only had 26 seconds to hit that speed as pirelli said they wasn't sure if tyres would take it.

And that bridge has just been built in Turkey so went over it before they opened it .

He asked there president he said yes he could do it

Imagine being told that about your tyres before you set off.

^^^^^^^^ Lmfao!!

I'd do it....maybe??

You gotta figure that guy didn't just jump on and do that for the very first time...he built up slowly, as it were. Be like an L-Plate driver in an F1 car otherwise.

Maybe on a run way but not on a bridge with road furniture if it all goes Pete Tong.
