Jives with the lack of skid marks I  saw in the photos. Either he's 
really, really good at braking (I don't believe busas have ABS) or he 
just never hit the brakes. From the damage of the bike and car, if he 
was only going 25 to start with, he doesn't appear to have scrubbed 
much speed off. All speculation of course.
