Both (M5 & M6) have the same power but the M6 is a bit faster. I am still thinking about a new speedometer for both.
336 Km/h is a pretty good top speed.
I was thinking about the Hamann engine tunning that promises 603 hp.
Maybe could get the 350 km/h top. Must have good tires to do this.

 

Now imagine over all that a meteorite crashed on that highway. What if a bird would hit the m6 windscreen? What if a suddenly strong wind comes?
Those are all risks and of course there is a slim chance for smth to go wrong but it's little chance. If your faint hearted your better in a bus! Even there your not so safe. Let's be realistic....i've seen wheelez at 250km/h. I've seen worse things and experienced alot more scary things.
That was a nice run and smth to remember.

 

Why is that so scary?

Something about going that fast on a motorcycle is scary to me!!!

 

Nope, not faint hearted... just giving my light opinion into why the video might have been scary- per a comment above mine! Now about realizing the risks, that IS being realistic! It is true most of the times WE do not take into account all the risks when driving fast, but they ARE there. And they are not as rare as a meteor hitting our head. (Among these is that some tires are not designed to reach those speeds...) I guess we can agree in the plausible base of stream's fears, that there are a few more risks of going fast in a motorcycle than in a car? (Less stability, no chassis to protect you if something goes wrong,etc.). We are in the M5 forum... No bus for me . Trust me on that one.

You have a point! Have you ever ridden a bike btw?!
I have but not at those speeds. I reached 180 km/h and then backed off since i didn't have the licence yet and had little experience. Then i had a bike accident at low speeds (no protection whatsoever) and then quit the 2 wheels 4 ever but that's another story. From my narrow experience and from what others told me that passed 300km/h on their bikes is that the most feared incident that may happen when ridding at very high speeds is to be forced suddenly to brake hard to avoid an obstacle. Most of the deaths on bikes occur due to that kind of circumstance (ex: car made a U turn without checking the mirrors---biker had too much speed and couldn't brake on time to avoid the collision or biker couldn't brake on time when car in front of him braked at max, or biker couldn't brake on time ao avoid a big hole in the road or whatever). Most of those friends of mine told me that they have never heard or experienced a tire blow on their bikes and are quite confident in their tries. Most of the tires that equipp top model superbikes are made to rezist 300km/h quite effortlessly. Michelin Pilot is a good example if i remember correctly. Indeed there are alot more risks when ridding a bike, ALOT more but hey from what they told me, the bikes are made in such ways that at 300km/h the bikes glues to the road like it is on rails and bare in mind that on a good bike 300km/h is easy to achive.
If smth goes wrong on a bike at 300km/h there's not much you can do to save your ass. But hey what if smth goes wrong in a car at 300km/h. I think in most of the cases your still toasted even with the fact that your protected in a body shell with all sorts of airbags and safety measures. I've hit a tree at 160km/h and i saw what pain is...and nearly died in an accident like that hitting a tree with that speed. At 300km/h it quite doesn't matter what you hit in a car...you are doomed anyway. So in conclusion, even though it's not good to think like that, and it's the best to always be cautious and drive moderately, IF shit happens at 300+km/h in a car or on a bike then only a miracle would save you.

 

Well said. You got my drift. I have driven both 2 wheeled and 4 wheeled "bikes", but not as fast! I have a family member that loves bikes, but I am more of a car guy. I must say, though, bikes are really fun to ride.

I'm glad you got out of your accident ok. It's amazing how strong trees are.

 

bum, repost

 

Thank you.

Drive well and God forbidd any accidents either on 2 wheels or 4.

All what is said... I think You are... well... maybe You don't mean all what You say.

I think that I have test top speed of every thing I have had, but still... No offence!

Skaffa

 

Had to be a Portuguese... that is why we have so many accidents...
