A 20-year-old Stillwater motorcyclist charged with going 205 miles per hour down Hwy. 61 in September pleaded guilty on Wednesday in Wabasha County District Court to speeding and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service.
Judge Terrence Walters placed Samuel Tilley on probation for a year and ordered him to pay $125 in court and probation fees, said the Wabasha County attorney's office. He will not serve any jail time.
He also admitted not having a proper motorcycle license. Under a plea agreement, a reckless-driving charge was dropped.
The agreement states that Tilley was going 205 mph in a 65 mph zone 12 miles south of Wabasha. He was clocked by a State Patrol pilot on Sept. 18 during the Flood Run, a motorcycle charity event.
The pilot radioed from his plane to a State Patrol officer in a squad car who arrested and ticketed Tilley.

it's also impossible, the bike doesn't have the aerodynamics to be able to go 205mph. It's been proven over and over again by some motorcycle people. The bike would not be capable in doing this speed. Funny part is the kid is a son or nephew or some significant relative to the sheriff I think it was.

no wonder why he didn't get no jail time, and only had to pay only $125 in probation and court fees...

regardless of how modified... Unless it was a drag bike, he didn't hit 205mph. From AMA Prostar records, he'd have tied the ProMod speed record, and I'm guessing no matter how much work he had done, it wasn't a ProMod bike he was driving.
As a long-time motorcyclist, I find 205 mph to pretty dubious as well. When they do bike tests, e.g. 1/4 mi or top speed, they use a pro rider, who weighs about 110 lbs. Unless he had a world class 500cc GP bike, I doubt he actually reached that speed, unless he was dropped out of an airplane.

Sorry RPIJG,
It's not impossible.
Doesn't say what he was riding.
Busa out of the box is good for 180+.

oh yeah? well I was in defensive driving with some kid who swore he was popped for 180 on the freeway in his 350Z yet somehow he didnt get arrested and only had to take DD. and for some weird reason he wouldnt show anyone his ticket.
luckily it was a comedy class and the teacher gave him shit for being a liar for the entire session.
hey guys i haven't been around much sorry been working on my bike but anyways i felt the need to chime in as far as the 205 thing it is possible very possible if fact think of this i have videos of bikes going 200mph on one wheel do a little more research and you will see a world much faster than you have ever imagined im not starting trouble nor am i trying to bring old topics up just wanted to give my opinion
I welcome people bringing this up, but it would just seem to me that at those speeds aerodynamics would catch up sooner or later, I just can't see how they can do 200+ without the help of aerodynamic modifications.
they have race bodies for them, im just saying what i have seen in fact 3 months before my brother in law passed away him and his friend hit 185mph on 195 on slightly modified tl1000s no big deal though
I agree they can hit 200+, but it takes a special bike to do that. After riding for 35+ years, I know how fast bikes can be. I also know the amount of bull$hit re: speed & times is at least as bad as with cars. I can't tell you how many guys I've heard claim their 1989 Ninja 750 was clocked at 150 mph. Uh huh. What I'm saying is, unless this guy had a bonified race bike, or something that was significantly modified, he was unlikely to reach that speed. And just because the Magazine tests show that a bike went X mph, doesn't help me believe it. If you read the tests, they throw in BS like "corrected time", which is calculated from actual time, based on 0 altitude, perfect temp and humidity, 0 wind, etc. What a crock!
How many (be honest here) have ever met or exceeded the times posted in the mags. e.g. Car & Driver, Motor Trend, Cycle World, Sport Bike, etc. on a perfectly stock machine?
