What's the fastest you've driven on a UK motorway?

Max i've had my GSX-R up to is 160 on an A road (never taken it on a motorway and wouldnt risk that sort of speed there anyway as too visible). Was rock solid stable but still scary as hell.

bikes probably don't have the same problem as the airflow under the vehicle has little or no effect.
Most modern high performance cars have various bits of ducting under the car to help it stick to the road at speed instead of developing a nice little cushion of air.

There is no rock steady motor bike, hence the numerous deaths from riders who think they are invincible. Nobody is expecting anything going that speed off a motorway least of all Tom the tractor driver or Fred in his Micra pulling out from a side road.

Not to mention all the fresh kidneys, livers and corneas they provide.

Not sure all the livers and kidneys are that "fresh" judging by most of the bikers I know.
