Amazing! Would have thought the super cars would have done better.

I'm surprised the limited edition Ducati was limited to 192 mph.

Let me guess the car wins, since its done by an auto group.

Agree why use a bike limited to 192MPH. Some comments suggest the race was to 200MPH, so the bike would fail to do that and lose for sure.

Should have used the new Kawasaki H2R, man that motor looked cool at the bike show.

The video stated the bike was limited by the gear it had. In other words it ran into the rev limiter. Changing the gearing could have increased it's top speed but it would have slightly altered its rate of acceleration.
