However in a straight line on the motorway I might add.
I could never or would try to do the speeds these guys were doing thats just too much for me!

Jesus christ. When he slowed down after the first bit it looked like they were going normal speeds while leaning, But they I saw he was doing 140mph still.  |

Contrary to the clip description, that's in the States: https://s31.postimg.org/hiy7jm67f/Untitled.png
Looks like somewhere in New York state?
The dash also reads MPH and Degrees Farenheit.
The US spec 2015/16 R1 is quite significantly detuned to meet US noise/emissions regs. I believe Yamaha didn't get it right in development for the US market and had to make some last minute adjustments, which is why their bike is down on power but others (BMW/Kawasaki) aren't. The US spec R1 is typically about 160-165bhp at the wheel, compared with 185-190bhp at the wheel in Europe, and you can hear the difference in the top end of the rev range. A H2 would still be faster on a straight, but an EU spec R1 would be just as quick as the ZX-10R.
In any case, that's a lot bonkers and I don't really see the appeal of riding like that, especially where it's not legal to do so. |

They're heading towards New York - there's a sign towards the end of the video as they pass under it you can see it.

I would imagine they're headed for the nearest available fuel
