Admittedly, the Honda rider had additional disabilities: filming with one hand and children on the back seat.

With 183 kilometres per hour on the clock on the side should be for the following traffic is not very common in Germany, but the reason why this man on the side is quite nice. The Civic whines (apparently slightly uphill) with 183 kilometers per hour forward when he is on the side must be for someone with more speed: a Trabant.

If you know that the old East German cup in basistrim is equipped with a 26 hp two-stroke block (just enough power to hundred kilometres per hour, tapping on it) then you understand a little bit how impressive this is. That one hundred kilometers per hour, is also standard only after 21 long count is reached. Advantage is that a Trabantje around 750 kilos, so with a few extra horsepower, you will soon notice a difference. For example, we know that 235 kilometers per hour is feasible.

Which is slightly less cool is this video? That mr. the director thinks it is necessary to have at least one child in the back seat with this kind of speeds with one hand to steer and the other to film.
