Its a Volvo Guy, but not as we know it. Rear wheels spinning at the start of video is a clue. ;)

Dont forget that car that was on Top Gear, cant remember its name, on one of the last 2 shows.  Had the same engine as JC's wifes Volvo 4x4 but with twin turbo's and over 650bhp

Plus yes I think he saw the bike and was toying with it.  ;D ;D ;D

I'm not convinced.
What country is that supposed to be in? Most European countries run in KPH & that bridge they went under didn't seeem to go past at 180mph more like 120mph.
I've done 140mph in my old Trans-Am & the world goes by very quickly even at that speed.

I'm on the fence with this one :-/ :-/ :-/

although the volvo is mighty quick the r1 is in 3rd gear at mid 50mph (think they do 70 in first)he then short shifts to 4th holds back a bit in 4th...but he sure gets done for topspeed 183 mph and the volvo is pulling away
