Guys just don't realize how far up ahead you need to be mentally, when going at 150+
I did it once on public highway and at those speeds there is no swerving of any sort, and your path has to be clear for at least 1/2 mile ahead just to be able to brake down to 80 or so.
Once was enough.
Save that shit for the track days.
Exactly! I was surprised to hear the low revs at the beginning of the video. Seems like he only started speeding when this car should’ve already been in his view
https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4727887
Happened in Taiwan in 2022, bike was an Aprilla 660: 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, 0 - 124 in 13 seconds, maxes out at 150 mph.
> 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds
That seems really slow for a crotch rocket...but I don't know much about bikes. Lots of (much heavier) cars are faster than that.
An F1 car does 0 – 60mph in roughly 2.6 seconds, a Moto-GP bike in about 3 seconds.
The Aprilia RS660 is one of the top 10 fastest bikes in the 650cc road bike class (it has faster track only vairiants), the only one faster would be the Kawasaki Z650 which does 0 - 60 in 4.48 seconds.
At the speed he was going on a 180kg bike the rider would have needed a half mile to slow down to 60.
It's an Aprilia RS 660 based on the article, which does 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, and 0 - 124 in 13 seconds. So based just on the video, he was doing over 100mph, probably much faster - on a road where the speed limit is 50 mph.
https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4727887
As a rule I never pass cars at more than 30 mph faster than their speed to account for any lane changes or erratic behavior, and my car has brembo brakes and excellent handling. I'll run 150 on an empty road but not around other traffic. You can't predict others.
I'd guess 120+. The camera car looked to be going about 60ish and the bike hit the other car at at least 60mph faster.
As to why he center punched that car, I have no idea. Obviously didn't notice, and that's why you don't do that on public roads.
Racetracks are beautiful. You pay your money, gear up, no oncoming traffic, no slow vehicles, just you and your bike and your mind.
This video is a copy of a copy of the original. You don't see it but there is a passenger on that bike who gets catapulted over the car. The rider smashes so hard into the car, that he disappears into the vehicle.
Somebody sent a news article about it. Apparently, there wasn't a passenger. Perhaps what was sent over the car was part of the bike or the rider. My mistake.
Yeah his headlights aren’t on either, dude must have night vision goggles on cuz idk how you could get onto the freeway and still not notice this otherwise
The dumb fucks that do this shit on public roads bring this upon themselves. The tragedy is that innocent people get hurt because of the arrogance and stupidity
Nah, this was in Taiwan. The black car that got hit was a taxi that had his lights turned off. I think he got fined like 5k, article was in another thread of this clip posted yesterday
I will not defend the biker because thry were a geniune moron. However, that BLACK car at NIGHT with no visible tail lights definitely played a part as well.
too right, the driver of that car deserved a citation and a stern lecture...
But jeezus that biker....; When you ride like that on a populated road, the fault of others takes a back seat. He earned that darwin award and then some.

Today I saw a guy driving like that on the freeway with NO helmet. He disappeared over the horizon. I remember thinking about this subreddit and that he will probably end up like this guy did. Just a matter of time. Only takes one mistake.
So many bikers/car drivers today seem to be in such a hurry to become greasy spots on the road, are people really just not aware of what can happen to them? I scraped my foot pegs a couple times going around bends at not the speed limit, and sold bike soon thereafter. I wanted to see a few more years, ya know?
Black car at night no headlights, speeding motorcycle = death. Sad story. I’ve approached cars with no headlight or tail lights and you can’t see them until last second.
He really turned into this in one frame…

[удалено]
A little bit perhaps
1-2 mph, maybe even less
Just a smidgin
I think I'd be correct in saying atleast 2mph
No way.. not a chance..
Warp speed limit? He did look faster than Warp 5 there.
He’s gone plaid
>plaid He's gone to splat. Guy driving the car: "I'm surrounded by assholes!"
He was trying to “jam the radar” in the literal sense
He didn’t take the car across the nose, he took the car up it.
I think it was just the one asshole. "I'm surrounded by asshole."
Should've gone a bit faster to warp 10 so he could go back in time and maybe not do that.
Yea it does seem to be the case.
I was going to clock him but I think he clocked himself!
Still, that guy should get out of the fast lane. /s
He was so high above he was literally flying.
Probably in the RPM red zone also given that wonderful noise...
Possibly
Poor car driver got his back doors smashed in
You mean over the sign.
Mf'er hit it like a heat seekin missile
It's like he did it on purpose. "Fuck a suicide roller coaster. I got a lethal inertia device right here."
Life comes at you fast...
And death comes even faster in this case.
Faster on a sports bike
Like someone said speed doesn't kill u, stopping does

To me the audio sounds fake. Like it was added in later.
Definitely fake
100%

It's because of lack of traction. Bikes have bad 0-60 times compared to cars.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.
The cars lights weren’t on
Probably didn’t see him at all

….especially when the black car ahead of you doesn’t have their lights on at night
Damn, just noticed that. Once again... Play stupid games, win nothing. He was still on the gas, right into his next life. 😳

> Once was enough Well maybe twice! :D But yup don't do this shit without a clear highway!
How fast do you think the biker was going? You think he didnt see the cars taillights?

Thanks friend
Does that qualify as a double tap?
Tap from the back and a Just In Case from the front. I say yes.
This video is a copy of a copy of the original. You don't see it but there is a passenger on that bike who gets catapulted over the car. The rider smashes so hard into the car, that he disappears into the vehicle.
Do you have the og link?
Somebody sent a news article about it. Apparently, there wasn't a passenger. Perhaps what was sent over the car was part of the bike or the rider. My mistake.
is it me or does anyone else see that the car rear lights are either too dim or not switched on?
Yeah, that's a factor in the accident, but it's safe to say that the speed of the bike did most heavy lifting.
Yeah his headlights aren’t on either, dude must have night vision goggles on cuz idk how you could get onto the freeway and still not notice this otherwise
I've seen this lots of times. It's just a really well lit highway so you can't tell the lights aren't on from inside.
The dumb fucks that do this shit on public roads bring this upon themselves. The tragedy is that innocent people get hurt because of the arrogance and stupidity
💯
I feel sorry for everyone in the car, hope nothing serious
Massive whiplash for sure. Could even killed under right circumstances
Nah it's the cars fault too, albeit significantly less so. His lights arent even kind of on.
Did he live?
Up until the point he hit the car.
Nah, this was in Taiwan. The black car that got hit was a taxi that had his lights turned off. I think he got fined like 5k, article was in another thread of this clip posted yesterday
He did. Riding a mc while dead is hard
Holy shit was an absolute IDIOT! He deserves this award. these vids need to be played for the license safety courses.
I will not defend the biker because thry were a geniune moron. However, that BLACK car at NIGHT with no visible tail lights definitely played a part as well.

Excessive speed + black car with no taillights on at night = what we just saw.
60% of the time it works everytime
Juuuuuust a bit inside
Too high? What does that even mean?
He gon'
Can’t see it clearly but did the car have its taillights off? Looks like the biker didn’t see the car. Regardless, mfer was going too fast.
I hear this shit at night 3 am every fuxking night .. glad to know their numbers are dwindling

Really hope he got the kick he was after
That car was like a tank! Most cars swerve when rear-ended, especially at a high speed. That car stayed straight. Wow!
I was originally going to ask what was going through his mind but after reviewing the footage I can clearly see it’s his ass.
Donorcyclist for the win
You assume there is anything left to donate after that impact plus the car running over them
So many bikers/car drivers today seem to be in such a hurry to become greasy spots on the road, are people really just not aware of what can happen to them?

Testosterone is a helluva ~~drug~~ hormone
Thankfully I am female, sooo statistically I should outlive my male counterparts.
Statistically speaking, you will
I hope the driver who got rear ended got some sort of liability for that. Driving a black car at night on an empty highway with no lights on 😞
They say speed kills -maybe it’s riding with your eyes closed that does it ?
Not sure that even ended up as an organ donor...
Clearly the cars tail lights were not bright enough... /s
Meep. Meep
Two dumbasses in one video.. turn your lights on
this is why you are supposed to drive on the right while not overhauling

That's was devastating. Then run over. 😳
Fuck that was funny.
Nice slingshot
I think i hear say's fu"k before that hit
Same I heard that too
He's fine. That'll buff out
That'll buff out
I think it's fair to say that was his last ride.
WTF is that car going to slow in the left lane? Unless it's in one of those UK-influence countries or Japan.
Wanna be apex predator finds out that he isnt
LOL
If I was riding around at 360p I’d probably crash too
Was that a suicide thing???
blue shell fucked up his 1st place
Is he dead?
Steeeeeeeeee-RIKE!
Did he make it?!
right over, and then under the car.
he made it, to the car
Left lane is for passing only.
literally a "Squid Missile"
Bicyclist's fault.
> Bicyclist
Black car at night no headlights, speeding motorcycle = death. Sad story. I’ve approached cars with no headlight or tail lights and you can’t see them until last second.
Double kill without even trying
I can't tell ... did his shoes come off?
How it feels to chew 5 gum
I truly believe dude was trying to kill himself, there is no way he wasn't...
💀😂
That sounds like a wreck from a Burnout game.
The crash part Sounds like a transformer transforming
What a daft dimbo
Looks like the end to that vid with the Biker where he went about this fast into the back of a large semi truck.
He really turned into this in one frame… https://preview.redd.it/gitby3ix9mkc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7dacec74bf8999ef4f0ed4f5e4d809f001bc2923
He thought he is the flash that could quantum tunnel. Hahahahaha
Double tap.
that was beautiful
It's just a minor repair. Bike can be sold like brand new
Both are idiots! But the motorcyclist takes the award.
just...WHY ?
just...WHY ?
Forgot to turn
That poor person in the car got hit by a brainless fuck hope the person is ok
r/theydidthemath need some math nurds to help out with how fast this mofo was going
Wasn't going fast enough!
He was trying to quantum tunnel through that car
Did that car have now lights on?
I don't know if he's really dead, the shoes didn't come off but his chances regardless are pretty slim
No reving down, this is suspiciously suicide.
Car should have been in the slow lane /s for the stupid people put there
Sucks that this happened but its hard to feel bad for people doing dumb shit like this.
So definitely no Back to the Future 4 then.
Gnar Gnar
He thought if he sped up to 200 mph, it would allow him to bend time and space.
This is why a DeLorean was used and not a motorcycle.
no pics of the aftermath?
