Yamaha R1 Vs. Merc SL63 AMG at 300km/h the Merc drops the bike. Suicidal.

Check out this insane race between a Mercedes Benz SL63 AMG and a Yamaha R1 on one of Sweden's local roads. At around the 1:50 mark the Yamaha hits 299km/h but the Mercedes starts pulling away. Kids, don’t try this at home.
We have far too many speed bumps and potholes.
