Problem with doing those speeds on a bike is they don't brake as well as a car (this is why I think maybe they weren't gunning it seemingly).
A 600 sports will still beat the R8 to 60 & to 100 by a few seconds (with a good rider). A 1000 would trounce it up until very high speeds which you are...
Could be a bush on the suspension. Equally could be a ball joint or rod end from experience. I'm sure one of the 'lads' who work on these all the time will drop by in a minute.
