Like I say, I'll believe it when I see it 
well i hope it does crack the 200mph barrier for his sake

Why is that no believable? I don't know about anyone else but mine were at like 2am, empty motorway, can see for miles...
there is 1s 200mph plus even top gear need a runway
Tbh I don't think they NEED a runway they just choose to use it? Safer not breaking the law etc..
What he said...If it's empty you can always use more than one lane if need be...

K1 doesn't have the outright power.
No Japanese sports bikes do over 184mph anymore, despite what a speedo says. AS said, its an agreement between manufactures,
Pre 2002 bikes, Hyabusa, yes, 1000cc Sports bikes, no chance.
And NO jap bike is quicker than an F4R MV Augusta, and thats been trapped absolutly flat out at 187. And u'll find top end an MV pulls on a jap sportbike.
600's are just rev happy machines, gimmie a lower powered Twin or Triple any day

See I know your fibbing as theres only 1 track day place in the UK it'll get to those speeds. Brunters, and even then it'll be very hard pushed and would need the full 2 miles+
Even the astra only made 125mph on the UK's longest race circuit straight. 1km at Snettertons Revvit Straight
Woodford and a few other airfield tracks have seen 180mph + from a few road cars

I'd rather have an 8k car that'll do 150mph and allow me to keep my corneas if it starts raining.

Should have turned the indicator off... the power you'd have saved would have neeted you 111mph.
