That 1050 Triumph has a top speed of about 155mph. Running a Superbike with a top speed of about 186mph and the Vette would have been on the back end of that one....still very exciting video.

1050 Speed Triple is a litre bike.

That particular Triumph has a little extra going on.

As a former Speed Triple owner, first off, that bike is not meant for high speed, but IT'S VERY FAST.. If you want high speed go by a super bike, but it's one F'n fun bike to ride... actually of ALL the bikes I have owned its probably hands down my favorite for just being fun to ride...

Oh, great video, that guy can certainly ride the **** out of a bike...
