This has been doing the rounds for about five years. Still grim though.

Definitely not good

I know the devastation is bad
But that bike looks to be a vfr400
May be wrong and itâ€™s an rc30
But he must have had a bloody good tail wind to hit 155mph
Not degrading the loss of life or the fact that this guy was speeding but I hate it when they use shock tactics like that
thatâ€™s were you get the speed kills lobby harping on and the authority go in to over kill because of it

I think the pic has been mixed with another story. That pic of the RC30 is a UK crash, not Swedish and happened around 6 years ago IIRC.

Think Iâ€™d expect to see less of the bikes fairing there after a smash at that speed top fairing and seat panel is still there and that seat panel look decidedly intack

Not that I know anything about the story but the car is left hand drive and there's some sort of foreign writing on the wall in the background.

It could be a new type of Ikea sofa mind you.

Know nothing about the story either but it looked like a very tidy bike that became one with the golf. Love that castrol paint scheme.
RIP all involved.

Speed doesn't kill.

Speed combined with stupidity kills.

There is no such thing as an Accident, what ever happens or has happened is through the supidity and neglect of others .
