Definitely excessive.

I guess this guy wasn't looking in the mirror too often!

Geez if one of those cars had slammed on their brakes when he was following close behind at 130+ he'd be dead instead of just banned

I hope he's not an airline pilot

Meh true top speed was nearer 120, the cops were always going to have to exceed his top speed to catch up with him.

What a d*ck.
Lucky he didn't get jail time for that.
I don't have a problem with the speed but his riding was all over the place, in heavy traffic and 2 up!

Lucky for him he didn't open it up

15 month ban at 150mph doesn't seem very fitting? Would expect a lot more, if not jail time.

I'm obviously well out of touch but really, jail for speeding? I could nick your bike, ride it with no insurance and still get off with a small fine and points or short ban and would need to commit several similar offences (maybe dozens) before jail was a real liklehood

I think that's far to much for 150 mph

Banned for riding like he was but not because he hit 150

After looking at this lot, I'd say he got off very lightly. His saving grace was that he didn't try and run and admitted it.
