I don't know but according to my stopwatch he was in the tunnel for 1:06.75 starting at 120 kph and reaching 180 kph and the limiter
That should be enough speed to pass a line of cars without down shifting I would think lol
I honestly don't have that much call where I live for passing a line of cars, a single slow car occasionally, but I just zip around it without downshifting thanks to the abundant torque at the rpms I run, but in my case I'm usually approaching the car between 55-60 and the car is usually doing 35 or 40 (in a 55 zone) so it's not a high speed over take. Even if I did have to downshift, what is wrong with downshifting? That's why they make lower gears and a buttery smooth clutch and transmission lol
Interesting.
On any bike I ever had, overtaking any number of vehicles with any number of wheels required two preliminaries:
1) look in the mirror.
2) downshift.
(Since this is something my uncle thought me when I was 17, I always thought it is some kind of a Galactic Imperative
