It's kinda like the GhostRider series, except this guy is even crazier. Apparently it's a race to cross Paris in the shortest time - he did it approx 11mins. Having lived in Paris, I know the road he was taking and there's no way I'd even ride at half that speed! The guy's a nutter.
There are loads of these kinds of videos. Getaway In Paris, Getaway In Stockholm, etc.
A lot of these people are real stunt drivers. Noones perfect, especially driving under those conditions, but they aren't just regular people.
When I was in Florida, I used to go to "Rung What You Brung" nights because of my two brother's cars, and they had bikes there. Just regular guys/girls, who had Heyabusas, decided to race each other down a drag strip, for no money, with no insurance. They are the true psychos. They were clocking low 10's with trap speeds in 150s+. You had to have a helmet of course, but most were racing in jeans and stuff. If you hit the ground at 100-150, jeans won't last long before you skin starts to disappear too.
They were truely psycho. One funny aside was that one guy's 'Busa was actually faster than an ethanol pro-drag bike that turned up. He ran 9.5-9.6 consistantly.

The Black Prince averages 192 km/h (= 120mph) if my German is correct.
Jeez, that gave me the willys - especially when he was accelerating over a brow into a tunnel.
It looks like the clip was taken from an RTL TV programme. Mainstream TV? Now that is reckless!
