That is hard to believe, but not saying is fake. The wheels must have been special, more rugged, tires too, and perfectly balanced. I had a friend wipe out an MC because the shop put the rear tire on with the lip of the tire out of the rim for about 1/4 of the diameter. He said you can feel this in the front tire, but not the back, it will rapidly build up severe oscillation. Threw him to the ground at about 60 mph, broke collarbone. LOOK AT YOUR TIRES!
 
Not surprising at all for a bike. Pro-Stock bikes routinely hit 200 MPH. Top Fuel bikes can run 250 MPH pushing 1500 HP.
 
But this is a bicycle, not a motorcycle. Bicycle brakes would burn up at 207 mph.

Must have had a thrust reverser!
