This guy really needs sorting out:
Why? He put his foot down on a clear stretch of road with no other vehicles around, and as soon as he came off the flyover he was already matching the speed of the other traffic.

Having a bit of fun on an empty road?! Down with this sort of thing!!
I never used to do that in my motorbike days
But what if a granny was crossing the road suddenly.....on a flyover.
I don;t believe int he right places speed is the issue. Look at limitless autobhans, some of the safest motorways in the world. The have sensible restrictions in urban areas and at junctions. After that, knock yourself out. If just speed was the issue, the death rate would be high...it isn;t...it's comparably very low.
I'm more worried about a driver not paying attention going slowly than one going fast in the right place and concentrating.

So riding at 100mph in an urban area is acceptable is it?
Whether we should, or should not, have unrestricted motorways on the German model is moot. We currently don't, and if that rider thinks it's OK to ignore the speed limit there, where else does he do it?
Lighten up - life is for living. The rider was just having a bit of fun because the opportunity presented itself. There were no other vehicles or pedestrians around and when he got to the other end of the flyover he had already slowed back down to match the speed of the other traffic.
So it's OK to blat along well in excess of the speed limit if you think it's safe?
Aren't you Mr Evidence based? If the evidence is that riding/driving fast on clear roads in good condition by a competent rider/driver is not more dangerous (see autbahn acciendt rates) then what's the harm?

Obviously he wants to impress someone.
Wimp! I'd be impressed if he backed up his dickwaving by putting his name, address and registration number on the end of the vid!

Are you serious? The evidence may be that Autobhans are safe, but it doesn't follow that travelling at high speed on other roads is safe.
Autobhans are specifically designed for people to drive at high speeds on, and people expect other traffic to be travelling at speed.
This road may have been clear, but that doesn't mean it's suitable for riding on at those speeds.
