Spend any time on that stretch of road and you'll find that sort of speed is standard for most bikes and quite a few cars too. Why should you be surprised to see another bike, you're not the only biker in the world you know. It's 4 lanes, dead straight, well surfaced and there was, and usually is, little traffic. That's why it's such a happy hunting ground for the unmarked cars/bike, plenty of custom. That's probably also why he got a relatively light punishment. The judge is local and knows it's rare to find anyone doing less than 80 along there. He broke the law but from what I've seen on that video his only crime was doing it at a time the unmarked bike was there. His speed was no more than 10mph over what I do along there so I suppose that makes me a prick too, Christ, I cruise the works van at 85 along there every day and that is just keeping up with the flow of traffic!
