The stop watch method is not that accurate. at high speeds, even small time errors will result in huge errors in MPH. Believe me, from an airpane flying 500 feet above the ground (minimum altitude over non-congested area), It would be pretty difficult to start and stop a watch at the exact time the motorcycle crosses a white line painted on the road. This method of speed trapping vehicles is highly inaccurate. The bike was not going 205 MPH guarenteed, don't let your buddy with the 1000rr tell you it does 205 MPH.
