What's it like to do 150 mph on a bike?
Discussion
Seems a silly question but I'm genuinely interested. One of the items on my bucket list is to do 150 mph in a car on the Autobahn. One small problem - my current car won't do 150. But my bike will (2012 Daytona). And I've been thinking about planning my first European bike trip, maybe next year. I have friends in Munich and it would be nice to visit them on the bike. So it seems obvious to try and do the 150 on my bike, rather than a car.
But how difficult is it to do 150 on a bike in a straight line? Obviously anyone can crank the throttle open and hang on, but how much skill is required to stay on? I've done over 100 on my bike and found that no issue at all, but I can imagine that at higher speeds things like wind direction & speed, road surface etc can come into play. Or is 150 no real difference to 100?
