I own a Hayabusa, and 300 Kph is very scary..... so I have been told.

However, if the stretch of road is long enough, straight enough and you have enough visibilty to react should you need too... (like 500 metres of time to react) you would find bikes are incredibly stable at those speeds.... so I have been told.

A loose calculation is You are traveling at a footbal field per second at 300 kph. or 5 km/ minute. You would have to be insane to attempt that.
