MotoGP's outright speed record is 368.1 km/h, set by Jorge Martin at the 2024 Italian GP. Marc Marquez holds the lean-angle record at 70.8 degrees, set during 2019 tire testing at Phillip Island, while engines spin up to 19,000 rpm. Carbon brake discs hit 750°C and bikes roar past 128 decibels.
Numbers like 70.8 degrees don't mean much until you've lived it. Back when I raced, even 55 degrees had my knee and elbow skimming the tarmac with my heart in my throat. Getting into the 70s the way Marquez did takes core strength matched by an engine that answers instantly all the way to 19,000 rpm.

750°C discs, touch that wrong and you're seriously hurt — honestly the scariest number here
128dB is basically a public nuisance lol, my ears hurt just reading that
How crazy is 19,000rpm actually? Is that on a whole different level from street bikes?
How do they even measure a 70.8-degree lean angle? I don't fully buy it
IMU + telemetry probably. Marquez was always built different
368.1 km/h, I've memorized it down to the decimal. Martin's a monster.
Right?? 368 at Mugello isn't even a human vehicle anymore
