Amazing. I know Capirossi saw 348km/h in testing once, but that was on a 990!

Ha, so take that all you Dorna haters who said the move to 800's wasn't for safety reasons. Oh wait...

That's pretty terrifying. If there was a technical fault at 217mph and the bike flung Dani over the handlebars (like when Nakano's tyre blew at 200ish mph) they'd have to phone the local Air Traffic Control to find out where the little guy was headed! :)

Hell that takes a big set to ridea bike that fast, especially over that kink before turn 1!
