Everyone's risk acceptance is different. To them that might be just another day on their bike. I wouldn't even think of those speeds unless I was on a track.

That chop wasn't that bad, I've seen a lot worse. Most of the more aggressive throttle changes were made when the bike was upright, not in the corners. The only thing I didn't like was that he changed gears several times while leaned into a corner. At those speeds, too easy to low side it by doing that, or even worse, a potential high side.
I have to dispute the speedo gauges, come on guys, we have all did triple digits, and things are a blur, I call BS
