I don't believe this is a British Record for the highest speeding conviction. About fifteen years ago a bloke was nicked for 161mph on the A11 between Wymondham and Norwich (might be pre dual carriageway days). If I remember Correctly he was riding a GSX1100R. The story made the front page of the Sun as well as the local papers. The reason I can remember is that my local bike shop sponsored his racing and the newspapers asked the owner for a quote.
However it doesn’t make such a good headline man nicked for 2nd or 3rd fastest speed recorded on British roads does it.
