Coburg - A 20-year-old raced his motorcycle along federal highway 4 near Coburg at more than 200 kilometers per hour - sometimes while standing.
“In bright sunshine, a motorcyclist opened the season at 207 km/h at a permitted speed of 100 km/h and without a sufficient driving license,” the police said.
The young man was noticed when he overtook a civilian police vehicle with video surveillance on Tuesday afternoon (January 30th) and was then stopped.
His motorcycle was confiscated.

Biker races along the federal highway near Coburg at over 200 km/h - and overtakes a police vehicle
The young motorcyclist is said to have overtaken the police vehicle on a curve at significantly excessive speed.
The officers gave chase and determined a speed of 207 kilometers per hour.
“Apparently the sitting position was so uncomfortable that shortly before Coburg, at 176 km/h, he allowed his machine to roll out towards the southern entrance while standing.”
During the police check it turned out that the machine should have been throttled for his driving license.
However, an initial check revealed that this was not the case.
The young man from Coburg is now facing charges for a prohibited motor vehicle race, driving without a license and various administrative offenses.

The Middle Franconian police recently shared a video of a biker who was traveling even faster.
When a car swerved, an accident occurred, which was filmed by the motorcyclist's GoPro.
