Pretty sure you'll have to imagine it....Monza is not on the motoGP schedule.

Maybe you are thinking of Mugello......it also has an enormously long front straight, and is also in Italy. And as it happens to be, that is where Pedrobot set the MotoGP top speed record in 2009. Amazingly he did it on an 800cc 212v, not even the 990cc version.

349.288 kph


that's 217 mph BTW
