Can you see it?

Ok I'll show you

A picture is worth a thousand words.
The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them.. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.

Holy Sh*t!

[tlewis33]

a) the passengers

b) the rider?

Poor Poor VFR400.....

All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.
At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken

vfr?

[Atasas]

Bugger...

[RC31]

Looks more like a Hawk or Bros with aftermarket wheel/bodywork/exhaust, in which case 155 mph isn't too likely. Still a significant speed on impact.

Just a guess, though.

[TJStoner]

its a VFR400 (NC30) with a DYMAG on the rear.....

[jaysun0ne]

same rim same tail different paint job



also if you look at the first picture the spring looks like its going throu the swing arm like it does on a rc30... there ya go.

[Pixel375]

But how did they re-create the wreck? I can't help but wonder
how they got the bodies out... (and then re-fitted the bike for
show purposes??)

[TJStoner]

The RC30 in "Stock" form does not come with 3 spokes....so its nearly iimpossible to tell what that bike is for sure....the NC30 also has a through swingarm shock mount same as a RC30.....plus from that angle the tire looks a bit thin for a RC30....I could be wrong....but i am leaning towards NC30 /VFR400....maybe its just me refusing to believe that someone would do this to a REAL RC30....

same rim same tail different paint job

[jaysun0ne]

ahh if the swingarms are the same then its one of the two models

and then you got to think about top speeds on these two bikes because that amount of damage is caused by alot of speed and if the 400 can go that fast well then ya its hard to tell for sure.

that would make two nasty crash pics of rc30's posted on this site.

[TJStoner]

135MPH-ish top speed on the VFR400
