Haha. Bake, you don't know your bikes. There's half a dozen bikes that do more than 310Km/h stock. Almost every 2000 Hayabusa did 330+Km/h out of the box. There's obviously manufacturing variance. A few were probably as slow as 310, and some were as fast as.. well.. this one seems to have hit 345 give or take. Maybe a gust of wind got his back.

Even my buddy's 90' GSX 750R with no *major* mechanical mods will hit over 310.

I agree that just doing a stoppie is no major feat, but doing good stoppies is a different story.. also, doing them without hurting yourself, and consistently is a skill.

Any asshole can do a stoppie, but any asshole can also slip the front wheel and not know what to do about it, stick out his leg, and end up in the hospital.

Stoppies are more impressive when they're tied together into combo's. One of my boys here likes to use a 5-6 degree stoppie to spin up his rear tire so he can drop into a rolling burnout. And he goes straight from the rolling burnout into a 12 o'clock standing wheelie. Now that's fucken impressive.
