205 MPH on a Honda Bike

Some young fellow got caught on his new Honda 9 hundred something cc Honda going 205 MPH by a Minnesota State Patrol in a airplane single engine cessna patroling a local hi-way. The officer said he could not keep up to the motor cycle in his plane. The officer had what looked like a stop watch in his hand while he was sitting in the plane and that is how he was calulating the speed of the biker. And get this the fellow driving the bike, well his dad is a county deputy in a near by county. What i was wondering is, is it even posssible to go that fast with such a motorcycle. And what is redline on that bike?

The stopwatch thumb of the cop in the plane would not be accurate within 50 mph at that speed, he was probably doing ~160-170mph, which is coincidentally a believable speed for that bike.
