Brave guy... that bike is sprocketed to hell and back, and it was probably stolen, as a lot of stunter bikes are. He had plenty of reason to run and I'm sure, more than a bit of experience doing so. I'm going to guess that he was topped out at 210-220km/h but it's just a shot in the dark.
The stunters often put crazy short gearing on them for easier wheelies, so the high revs doesn't mean much. Obviously more than 55 mph but obviously quite a bit less than what the cop car could do. The wheelies and the weaving through traffic are a little attention-getting, too ...
I figure that running on a bike that can't actually outrun a cruiser is bringing a knife to a car fight. You are putting a lot of faith in the cop not attempting any maneuvers that would kill you.
Who knows how off the speedos will be though, even if they tried to correct them
Back of the envelope calculation suggests that going +10 on a rear sprocket on your average 600 will put your top speed roughly in the area of 200kph, so sounds right to me

man...I be running from them suckaz on my stunta 250 all the time...barely cracking 100MPH.
Not that I'm speaking from experience
... but the best case scenario is not to let them even make it to their car especially if they're running a speed trap with a tripod. Its advisable to not look at or acknowledge them...its not running if you don't know or didn't see he's a pig. One time the ******* literally jumped from behind the bushes and came running on to the road wearing all navy blue/black waving his arms frantically like a ****ing retard...Yea, I ripped it off the lights but its a 250 for ****'s sake...how fast can it be? Needless to say I did't stop for that idiot. My first reaction was "Is this SOB trying to get killed!!?" It was so sudden I didn't even realize it was a cop.
Using your environment to your advantage is key, that's what saved this guy in the end. You've got to know the area somewhat, but I've even been saved by a few random catwalks before. You go through a couple those and you can put a lot of distance between you and the piggies.
In the end what it comes down to is knowing and using your strengths to their greatest advantage while negating the opponents. Its cat vs mouse, and they're always the cats...so its never about taking them head on.
